What is this distinguishing characteristic?</p> <p> "<strong>the fact that, in Korean architecture, space moves and flows; that is, a space in Korean architecture is not one frozen frame, but rather, different spaces that interact and change. The rooms of this house follow that flow with ease, and both light and wind leave traces of their presence.</strong>"</p> <p> <a href="http://archinect.com/people/cover/1812010/orhan-ayy-ce" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Orhan Ayy&uuml;ce</a>&nbsp;comments "<em>as simple as it is, one of the most beautiful houses i have seen in this age of dwell magazine and ikea type of joint business deals which tend to glorify form and materiality to boredom..</em>"</p> <p> <strong>News</strong><br> The <a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/15559727/as-gg-designs-kingdom-tower-to-be-the-world-s-tallest-building" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">announcement that Chicago firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture is designing Kingdom Tower</a>, which will be the world&rsquo;s talles...</p>
