Often called the Republic of Apartments, Korea is full of them. An apartment, to many Koreans, is the most sought-after item, with more than 60% of the population living in one. My book is a six-chapter exploration of this phenomenon. In it, I discussed the history and attributes of Korean apartments.I used raw materials such as hardboard, naked binding, and plate imaging on the poster, and I used uncoated paper to evoke the image of a concrete building in construction. I also created a new grid system of uniform rectangles that was intended to mimic the look of apartment windows view.
