To many Koreans, an apartment is the most sought-after item, with more than 80% 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 apartment living. I used raw materials such as hardboard and naked binding to evoke the image of a concrete building. I also created a new grid system of uniform rectangles intended to mimic the look of apartment windows viewed at a distance. The uniformity in the grid's design reinforces the fact that apartments are where people share the same equally divided space.
