Timbercraft: Lost Tectonics from East Asia
We are looking back on the book presentation of Timbercraft last week. Author Jae K Kim succesfully presented his book in Topohaus in Seoul. In thanking everyone for coming to the event, he writes: ‘Although I poured a great deal of time and effort into preparing this book, even now that it has been released to the world, I do not feel that this is the end.’ And that’s how we feel as well.
