Full Description

In Pavilions for Giving, Dr Jin-Ho Park explores how the role of the modern architect continues to evolve and emphasises the importance of giving back to the community. This book presents six meaningful projects that have been valuable to the community of each location and served a bigger purpose to society. The details of the creative and constructive processes highlight the hard work and coordination behind each pavilion, which are even more impressive given the positive contribution of each finished structure. The six pavilions have not only improved the everyday lives of people, including children and the older generation, but they have involved student architects who have gained valuable experience.
