The Rodin Museum in Seoul, Korea, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox to house two sculptures by Auguste Rodin, has been hailed as an architectural tour-de-force. Its undulating walls, entirely made of translucent glass, create a jewel like, serene space far removed from the bustle of the Seoul business district, instead creating a place that blurs the differences between West and East, between art and commerce, and between the 19th and the 21th century. This book outlines the creative design process, from conception through realization, involved in creating this unusual museum. It includes numerous preparatory sketches, detailed technical drawings of the complex metal and glass wall system, and color photographs of the finished structure.
