10 classics read by design critic Choi Bum

The design critic Choi Bum wrote this book based on his lectures on reading design classics, and has introduced 10 classic books. These books embrace design, arts and liberal arts, and they are the books we should have read “in those days” when we had to face our reality and show creativity. Choi naturally brings today’s discourses out of classics and leads readers to have a point of view for looking at our reality and thinking about it precisely. “Classics are not to be respected blindly. They should become materials for sympathy and regeneration.”
