In an alley in the city, on a small piece of land, the [horn] has risen. The width of the land facing the road is 6 meters, and the depth 10 meters. 60 square meters of land was what I had to work with. The pre-client, who is the representative of Galmuri Publisher, is also a writer, and political philosopher. He wished to build an independent space for his publisher on this small piece of land, and was looking for an architect who could help him fulfill his wishes. (?Galmuri? in Korean means reaping harvested grain or crops for food and to use as seeds. Thus the name ?Galmuri? implies that the publisher intends to carefully reap the intellectual and practical achievements of humanity, while sowing the seeds of intelligence proper for our new era.)
