This issue of En Blanco recounts a journey of discovery about the work of the Korean architect ByoungSoo Cho, founder of the BCHO Architects studio.

Through this monograph, the sensitivity of this architecture studio is made known by the physical visit to a series of houses integrated into the landscape, of which the abstract designs mirror the nature in which it is inserted. The houses that go under the name 'Earth Houses', make up the beginning of a process of analysis and materialization of exposed concrete architectures, conceived based on tradition and constructive experimentation.

The journey took several days and takes place in different cities in Korea. This issue takes a closer look at understanding and experiencing a diverse set of projects; for example, excavated spaces that show the different ways of relating to the most elementary elements of nature, such as earth, air, sky, sun, rain, wind, trees. Or another example is the outstanding conceptual designs with great symbolic and sensory meaning to those who inhabit them.

BCHO Architects has its studio in the city of Seoul, in a building on several levels. ByoungSoo Cho's constant trajectory and attitude of exploration throughout thirty years of activity as an architect, combining the profession and teaching in schools of architecture in Korea, Europe and the United States, has made ByoungSoo Cho a prestigious architect in his country. This is not only verified by the awards granted to him, but also by the role of the firms' architecture and urban planning in South Korea.
