Autumn on the campus of Korea University.

Korea University’s historic main hall was completed in 1934 and designed by Park Dong-jin, one of the fathers of Korean modern architecture. In the late 1920s, the owner of the university, the businessman Kim Seong-su, went on a fact-finding trip to universities around the world. He was reportedly impressed with the newly built West Campus of Duke University. It’s said the Tudor Gothic architecture of Korea University’s campus reflects this.
