The Beauty of Traditional Korean Architecture

This paper explores the beauty of Korean traditional architecture from acontemporary viewpoint. Because the practice of modern architecture inKorea is based on the Western model, this paper discusses the topic inrelation to the Western perspective of architectural beauty. Also, becausethe beauty of architecture is very closely related to cultural views of archi-tecture, this paper also discusses the beauty of Korean architecture inrelation to the general views of architecture. The issues addressed in thepaper are as follows: 1) the object of the beauty of Korean architecture, 2)the beauty of architectural form, 3) the beauty of architectural space, 4)the experience of beauty, and 5) the purpose of beauty. In short, thebeauty of traditional Korean architecture is not necessarily expressed inbuildings as independent units, but in the totality of the architecturalsite. The form and space of Korean architecture are not the goal ofarchitectural expression but simply form the backdrop of everyday life.Thus, the beauty of form and space should also be observed accordingto inherent cultural view of them. The way to experience the beauty ofKorean architecture is not necessarily through the visual experience of aspatial setting, but the continuous, temporal experience of responsivebodily feeling. The purpose of beauty is not to achieve a transcendentalideal through rational appraoch, but to vitalize lively quality of energyand to harmonize with the existing order of nature.
