I'll be in Shanghai in a couple weeks and thought I'd take a moment to see it. Can any of the architecture buffs here tell me the address of the Korean Provisional Government Building in Shanghai?

Oddly, for all the time I've spent in Daegu over the years, I've never seen a single one of these buildings up close. I've spent more time looking at older ones, like the Joseon-era 경상감영광원 (Gyeongsang governor's residence, a couple of hundred yards/metres southwest of Daegu Station) and the 대구향교 (Confucian school, southeast of Downtown). You've given me a lot to look at on my next trip! That Kyungpook National University School of Medicine is a mighty fine piece of work. Great photos.

I couldn't tell you why, except for perhaps that's what the Chinese brickmakers in Korea were good at, the pool of architects was quite limited, and there was a tendency to "standardize" back then. Local resource availability is usually a factor, too. Grey brick might have been cheaper than granite, for instance. bulgasari — I believe that is the old Seoul City Hall.
