ARCHITECTURE 101

- Up all night? - Morning, Chief

Tired?

Ow, my back

Gotta let the world know you worked all night?

Pretty clever

You changed the floor plan?

Isn't it a bit too flashy?

I designed it pretty, didn’t I?

Pretty isn't everything

Clients love this kind of stuff

The design has to be flashy to look good

Go to a sauna, The meeting is at 2 P.M.

Why do I have to meet the clients?

You're the designer

Let me get off work

Haven't been home in 2 days

No smoking in the office!

Second-hand smoking is bad

Think of how much worse it is for me then

You have a visitor

Me? Who?

A friend of yours

My friend? Who?

How would I know!

It's been a while

The alumni directory is good I'm glad I found you

How've you been?

Who… may I ask?

You don't remember me?

Well…

1st year in college Yang Seo-yeun

Back in Jeongneung…

The music major

Oh, right! Yang Seo-yeun!

Jeongneung…

What brings you here?

How can you forget me?

I didn't, it's just been so long

Ages

I didn't change much

Still, we got older

Where do you live?

Gaepo-dong

Married?

3 years ago

What does your husband do?

A doctor

What's his specialty?

What is this, census?

It's Jeju-do

When can you start?

Start what?

What?

Why would I come to you?

You build houses for a living

Build me one

Come on

I can't

Why?

I've never done this

Good, then start with mine

Look

I'll refer you to someone who can do it

A close friend will be better than us

Why?

Is it the money?

Of course not

Then, do it

That's not it. A company has rules

Look

The CEO's at the top

Then, the manager

Then, there are employees like me

Salary men

I can't take just anything

The company won't do it

Of course well do it. We appreciate it

Lee Seung-min

It's your first house

Do a good job

If we start soon, will it be done before winter?

Let's go down look around

Before that

Why are you building it?

What do you mean?

A rich woman like you?

Why insist on building a house down on an island?

For what?

The air is nice

Your husband must make a lot to build a house anywhere

It's investing?

Right, Jeju-do is a hot spot

You can make tons

You talk so nicely

So I'm flaunting money

Still, I can rebuild a house

If you don't want to, don't

I'm not begging anyone for anything

What a waste of my time

Here

And this

Why's the reason so important?

Think I won't pay up?

It's not that

I should know so I can build a house that suits

I have to know you better

to make a suitable house

So, you want to know more about me?

Curious about me?

After college I tried to become an announcer

but failed

So, I just got married

And you?

Do you still live in Jeongneung?

Yeah

How many kids?

None yet

Why?

Just somehow, I guess

This is my dad's place

When he comes out I want him to live here comfortably

Is that reason enough?

It's a mess

The framework is fine

But it's over 30 years old

Houses are strong like that

What's this?

Someone worked on it?

Dad wanted to expand but never finished cuz he got sick

It's been like this since

I want it all down

and built new, properly

This is still here?

Dad measured my height here

I was so small

My dad made this, too

When I was 6

I stepped on it before it hardened

I grew so much

I designed it very flexibly

with the sites shape in mind

By putting an atrium inside the house,

the living space becomes more dynamic

with the skip floor

the levels are amplified

It adds rhythm to the boxy shape

and draws in the landscape

Know what I mean?

I think this is the solution

- By dividing the space - But…

What?

Why's everything in English?

You don't know

but this design is…

I said, I don't like it

Don't try to change me

But I liked your clothes today

Except for the tie

Really? Don't like my tie?

So, my design was like this tie?

Show me what a good tie is then

Still, you've improved a lot from the old days

What was Mr. Lee like?

Ghastly

Not popular with the girls at all

- He’s still like that - Really?

You two dating?

A duo?

How did you two meet?

I'm curious

You had different majors

Did you meet on a blind date?

Oh, he didn't tell you?

He chased me around campus

What creative story is that?

Let's think about Seoul,

the city we live in

We eat, drink, go to school

and do everything here

But do we really know this city well?

It's a big place

So, I prepared a map to

Whose beeper is that?

Turn it off during class

Look. Mark it off like this

As for me

I take bus 38from here

To here

Then here

- Focus! - Then I transfer to bus 143

Like this

Then arrive here

Come up one by one

and mark your routes to school

You live in Seocho-dong?

Yes, right here

- Then, where’s Bogwang-dong? - Bogwang-dong?

Is that in Seoul?

It's here, north of the river
