内容提要：

这是一次穿越北朝鲜的乌托邦式“模范”建筑的摄影之旅。平壤的故事在模范城市和现代主义乌托邦的历史上是独一无二的。北朝鲜首都在朝鲜战争后全部重建，其规划和全面推行体现了单一意识形态之下的国家愿景。这本非同寻常的著作以图文的方式，带领读者在北朝鲜乌托邦式“模范”建筑中畅游。

平壤作为其公民的意识形态指南，展示了独特的建筑凝聚力和叙事。从这座城市的大型纪念轴线到其象征性的体育馆和实验性住房，“模范城市”为人们提供了进入平壤受限制建筑的全面视觉通道。平壤的建筑存在于一种偏爱建设和更新而非历史保护的文化中，近年来，许多建筑被重新装修，去除过去的内部特色装修或使建筑外墙去特征化。平壤的建筑通常整齐划一、色彩丰富、富有戏剧性，这使得人们很难区分身处现实还是戏剧之中。为了更好地呈现这种精心打造自身叙事的文化，《模范城市》书中每张照片的背景都被渐变色所取代，颇有一种北朝鲜宣传海报中用色粉笔绘制的天空之感。

《模范城市》展示了两百幅在北朝鲜境外罕见的彩色建筑插图、图表和建筑图纸，揭示了该城市精心设计背后的规划象征意义，另外，书中还收录了朝鲜建筑专家撰写的文章，包括现任领导人金正恩之父金正日的《建筑论》摘录。作者的研究得到了高丽工作室和朝鲜城市联合会的支持。

A photographic journey through the architecture of North Korea's “model” utopia. The story of Pyongyang is unique even in the annals of model cities and modernist utopias. Entirely rebuilt after the Korean War, North Korea's capital city was planned and fully implemented to embody a single ideological vision. This extraordinary, richly illustrated book takes readers on a photographic journey through the architecture of North Korea's “model” utopia.

Built as an ideological guide for its citizens, Pyongyang displays a unique architectural cohesion and narrative. From the city's large-scale monumental axes to its symbolic sports halls and experimental housing, Model City offers comprehensive visual access to Pyongyang's restricted buildings. The architecture of Pyongyang exists within a culture that favors construction and renewal over historical preservation, and in recent years many buildings have been redeveloped to remove interior features or render facades unrecognizable. Often kitschy, colorful, and dramatic, Pyongyang's architecture makes it difficult to distinguish between reality and theater. As befits a culture that has carefully crafted its own narrative, the backdrop of each photograph in Model City has been replaced with a color gradient, evoking the pastel skies of North Korea's propaganda posters.

Model City features two hundred color illustrations of buildings rarely seen by non-North Koreans, diagrams and architectural drawings that reveal the planning behind the city's elaborate symbolism, and texts by experts on Korean architecture—including an excerpt from On Architecture by Kim Jong-Il, father of the current leader Kim Jong-un. The authors' research has been supported by Koryo Studio and Korea Cities Federation.
