2024, MSARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
In the whirlwind of South Korea's rapid modernization from the 1950s to the 1980s, one architect's story unfolds as a dramatic clash against the erasure of cultural identity. Chung-Up Kim, born in Pyongyang in 1922, was a leading architect in South Korea from 1956 to 1971. Kim did not only localize international modern architecture but also modernized vernacular architecture. However, the South Korean government only wanted fast and rapid ways. Kim criticized this against autocrat President Park; eventually, Kim was endangered due to the lack of democracy at that time. Kim had two choices, going to prison, or being expelled from Korea. Kim chose the latter thus he could not come back until Nov. 1978. After returning to Korea, Kim practiced architecture as much as before the exile. Some scholars criticized that the architecture of Kim was not as elegant as that of Kim before the expulsion. Indeed, the architecture of Kim after the expulsion became magnificent. This thesis aims to dissect Chung-Up Kim's audacious stand in the later period, and his deep-rooted connection with the ancient Koguryo kingdom. Although many scholars do not advocate the built works of the later period as much as those of the earlier period, this thesis will prove that the works of the later period also play a crucial role in preserving local Korean identity against rapid modernization.
