I whole-heartedly congratulate the commencement of the 12th International Society of Ondol Symposium!
This symposium is a very meaningful event being held for the 12th time since the birth of the society on an excellent topic ‘Sustainable Architecture and Healthy Living Environment.” I believe that through this symposium we will be able to increase the opportunities for inter-regional exchanges, examine the culture of environment friendly architecture and ondol’s healthy residence, and further the development and succession of the great invention invented by our ancestors, the ondol culture, by combining the ondol technology and culture succeed for thousands of years with the modern.
I would like to thank the presidents JuneBong Kim and ShinHo Rhee, board of directors, other secretariats for their efforts in holding this symposium. I would also like to thank the governor of Jin Cheon-gun, Young Hun Yu, for providing the space for this meaningful gathering!
I have continuously argued that, like the traditional culture is argued to be the solution to the current human culture, future human culture’s topic should also be searched within the traditional society. More specifically, the solution is in mankind escaping from a human centered mindset and switching to life centered mindset. The biased narrow-minded self-centered philosophy makes people live in a cage made of nationalism, racialism and culture centralism. The results of these conditions these types of point of views are the severe problems we face today.
This type of mindset has influenced the way people consider the environment, and at it’s extreme making the environment ancillary to mankind. It can be said a different form of nationalism has been created through the self-centered mind set making mankind the center of the ecosystem instead of being one of the links of the ecosystem chain. If we do not break this self-centeredness it will be impossible to find the stable equilibrium of the ecosystem.
The ancient animism that considered every organism as a living thing has hidden itself beneath modern science, and the respect for nature has been replaced with conquest and exploitation. The solution to environmental problems is only possible when the self-centered mindset is broken and the human disposition that seeks to coexist with other species is restored. The restoration of ecological ethics is the only solution for mankind to live on earth forever.
Only when the understanding that, things we use have been borrowed from nature and the future is shared, will we be able to solve the current environmental problems. Only when we look at the ondol culture from this point of view, are we able to get a new perspective on the ondol culture and ondol cultural areas that contribute to mankind’s ecology preservation, peace, and coexistence.
The research on ondol culture is not simply on culture preservation or education but in the process of recognizing ondol as a cultural asset, understanding ondol culture’s changing pattern, and ondol’s cultural and economic approach. Thus, productive heritage movement is needed. It is great that the variety of activities and academic research of International Society of Ondol’s is not only in cultural asset protection and succession but also in worldwide aggressive cultural asset protection based on environment friendly advancement of mankind’s life quality.
From what I have observed of the International Society of Ondol I feel that it has kept the primordial philosophy of ondol culture and has established the identity and symbolism nested within the Korean peninsula. In other words, it has produced results not only in preserving the original form of the culture and managing the certification of ondol technicians but also in ensuring the broad popular appeal of ondol.
I would like to praise the efforts and service of International Society of Ondol fortified by advisor Yubok Hwang, president JuneBong Kim, and president Shinho Rhee. In addition, I believe that the following types of efforts are needed. First of all, an academic system based on natural science and humanities of ondol. More specifically there is a need for the expansion and concentration of researchers and experts to explain the ondol culture’s value and meaning quantitatively and through humanities.
Secondly, there is a need for the establishment of the ondol culture’s system and management plan. Namely managing resources by ondol securing the original form of ondol culture and technical certification holders, policy based protection and advertisement. Only then will the regional residents that have ondol cultural asset have the pride to voluntary protect and be in the forefront of the cultural movement.
Thirdly, by connecting the ondol cultural asset with policy, contribute to regional economy. This process must be done carefully so that it does not destroy the regional culture and it also the process that protects the natural heritage. A tourism policy and sustainable ondol cultural asset conservation strategy must be established.
Finally, a strategically promoted administrative support must be secured. Through long-term administrative support with a vision, a unified regional cultural identity must be established through community services of regional culture lovers, such as teens and historians, and alternative movement and community education on cultural asset succession and protection.
For continuous cultural development, there is always a need of awareness and behavioral transition. Thus, the modern understanding of the conservation of culture is not in perfectly conserving it in its original state but the process of keeping its original essence and adapting to the developing times.
The academic establishment of ondol leads to the establishment of the ondol culture. Furthermore, links within the concept of ondol cultural areas conservation and development, awareness, practice, education and policy.
The problems we face today are not independent of the past. The long gone past has provided for us, who live in the modern, wisdom. In addition, it has opened the intelligent knowledge report that allows for the future. Hence, I have great expectations for the International Society of Ondol since it allows for the experience of the environment friendly lifestyles that our ancestors had.
Thank you!
세상에는 다양한 난방방식들이 존재한다. 그리고 대부분의 난방은 열의 복사나 대류를 이용하여 방 공기를 데운다. 실내 온도가 유지되어야 하기 때문에 이들 방식들은 보온과 단열을 매우 중요하게 여긴다. 반면에 온돌은 열전도 즉 접촉으로 난방하기 때문에 방바닥의 축열 능력이 강조된다. 이러한 온돌 방식은 특유한 실내 환경을 조성한다. 즉 바닥에 저장된 열기에 직접 접촉하기 위해 사람들의 일반 활동들이 방바닥 가까이에서 이루어지게끔 한 것이다. 또한 온돌은 실내의 상부가 더 따듯한 다른 난방방식과 달리, 실내의 하부가 따뜻하고 상부가 차가운 환경을 조성한다. 이러한 환경은 한국 사람들이 추구하는 최상의 건강 환경인 두한족열(頭寒足熱)과 일맥상통한다. 이렇듯 온돌은 한국 사람들의 생활 문화와 그 발전에 많은 영향을 미쳐왔다.
There are many different types of heating methods in the world. Most of these heating methods are through radiation and convection. These heating types emphasize insulation because it is important to maintain the indoor air temperature. In contrast, the ondol, emphasizes thermal storage in the floor because it heats conduction. In other words it heats through direct contact. This unique heating method has created a unique interior environment. Activities have to occur close to the floor so that people may come in direct contact with the heat, thereby influencing the cultural development of the Korean people. The ondol has also created an interior environment where it is warmer near the floor than the ceiling in contrast to other heating systems where the area close to the ceiling is warmer. This environment is inline with the optimal healthy conditions the Koreans prefer, the warm feet cool head environment.

The design tries to use High-tech building materials, and shows the building texture with the Combination of ETFE (ethylene-tetra-fluoric-ethylene) and steel skeleton, which appear the structure and the form of the building in the new period with the eco-friendly style. At the same time, the design discusses the way of Subway Entrances and the ventilation pavilion in central plains under the constraints of geography, climate and function.
With the rapid development of the rural economy and vigorous promotion of energy-saving technologies, it is found through a field investigation that the new rural housing in the northeast of China shows new changes on green, energy-efficiency, health, comfort and beauty. The new rural housing mainly applied the technologies of composite energy-saving wall, double or three layers of glass energy saving windows and the roof benzene board insulation, heated in winter by Kang with the fuel of straw, corn stalks and other bio energy, which brings prominent energy-saving effect and the improved indoor environment significantly. The only or main function of the Kang is no longer the heating facilities in winter, but to play its unique benefits of comfort and health for sleep as a bed. the highlights of cultural traditions and customs in Cold rural area, the changes of the Kang are smaller and more exquisite. In the future, northeast rural housing should integrate the technolgies of residential structures, materials and kang further to promote rural sustainable development of society, economy.
This paper gives a definition of the heating facility-Heated Kang and its primary form in northeast Asia using the method of typology. It also analyzes the origin and development of Heated Kang based on archaeological traces and literature materials, and traces back the word "Kang" from the viewpoint of linguistics, in order to make clear the origin time, place and development of Heated Kang.

The core of vertical space greening of urban architecture which is an effective approach to build the green healthy living environment and to increase urban green space, is the ecological planting epidermis design. By means of learning the experience of international ecological planting design of construction epidermis, the paper reviews principles of ecological planting design of construction epidermis and the relationship between this and planting design, which bases on the concept of BBL, the bioclimatic buffering layer. Furthermore, it aims to find new creative ideas of the combination of green plants and construction epidermis design, in order to provide references for Chinese construction epidermis design practice.
Housing problem is one of the most basic human problems. This paper refer to primary ecological concept of the traditional local-style dwelling houses, try to find a way, put the traditional ecological concept into use for modem residential buildings, study the applicability between traditional local-style dwelling houses and modem residential buildings.
온돌은 동북지방주거에서는 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 약 2천 년 남짓 유구한 역사 동안, 독특한 온돌양식과 온돌문화를 형성하였으며, 아파트온돌, 라지에이터, 공기조화 난방 등으로 발전하였다, 온돌은 동북 대가족 문화의 주요한 요소일 뿐 만 아니라, 농가의 공간형성과 구축에도 중요한 단서이다. 온돌은 자연형 에너지사용으로 고효율 방식이다. 전통의 온돌-일반적으로 흙 벽돌과 벽돌을 쌓아서 만들고, 음식을 할 때 사용되는 그 여열을 통해 외부와 연결된 부뚜막을 통해 내부와 연결된 고래가 있는 방구들을 지나 굴뚝으로 열을 전달한다. 오늘날 동북의 신농촌은 아주 빠른 건설개발단계에 있다. 기술의 발전과 관념의 변화에 따라, 사람들은 전통온돌을 기반으로 한 혁신적인 시도들을 선보이고 있다. 새로운 온돌을 만들어 내기도 한다. (뜬바닥온돌,에너지절약온돌 등.) 신형온돌은 전통온돌의 모든 기능을 계승할 뿐만 아니라, 지속가능한 발전의 요구와도 맞는다. 즉 전통문화에 현대적 기술을 결합한 형태이다.
본 논문은 동북지역농가를 연구대상으로 하였으며, 온돌의 내포된 함의, 형식과 종류, 난방방식
및 기타 신형 온돌의 발전과 변천에 대해서 다루고 있다.
This is a research on the Korean immigrant village and house in Y eonbyeon Long-Shan village in China. The house (so called Minga in Korean), which was studied in this paper, is the vernacular architecture of dwelling for the rural people in this area. It is the most common dwelling type.
We can find Korean vernacular influences on the architecture in this area by the Korean-Chinese people. Long-Shan village is laid out with the so called Bae-san-im-su way which means that to the north of the village are mountains, Moa mountain a branch of Baekdu Mountain ( R *I I 1), water, Haeran river (/Bi.~}[) to the south. The main axis of village layout is made of two roads. The village is mainly developed along the east-west main road follows the southern creek. The other axis is north-south main road and other sub roads branch out from it. The sub roads serve as the transition between main road and the allies, which are the access to individual houses. The main building is usually laid on the northern side of the individual site with garden attached in south. The main entry is usually on eastern side of the main building and the separate service buildings are between the main building and the entry. This also relates to the kitchen location in the main building. Usually the kitchen is on eastern side of the main building and most frequently related with separate service building in function
Heated Kang as one of the most important elements of the northeast rural residence, formed a unique " mode of heated brick bed " and " culture of heated brick bed " in the long history of more than two thousand years. Kang bed-stove has many functions, for example, heating residential, communication, emotion and so on. Not only it is the carrier of the northeast family’s material culture, also it plays a major role to spatial organization and building of the rural housing. Kang bed-stove is a way of the repeated skillful use of energy. The traditional heated brick bed built with mud and brick. It connects heat able adobe sleeping platform in its outside and links chimney in its inside. The quantity of heat of Kang bed-stove comes from the waste heat of cooking .In recent years, the new rural construction of northeast is in the stage of development of high-speed. With the progress of technology and the renewal of the concept, based on the traditional heated brick bed, people have made some beneficial attempts to change and have introduced some new heated brick bed: Suspended Kang, energy saving kang and so on. All new heated brick beds both retain the traditional heated brick bed’s functions, and conform to the requirements of sustainable development planning. new heated brick beds are the combination of traditional culture and the new technology. This paper bases on rural housing of northeast area as the research object, discusses the connotation、forms and types、 heating means of traditional heated brick bed and the evolution of new type of Heated Kang.
