본 논문에서는 외래 문물의 유입이 본격화되었던 조선의 개항 이후 한국의 궁궐건축에 유 입되어 공간을 구성하고 장식했던 청(淸)의 공예품들을 파악하고, 이들의 유입 정황과 양식 특성을 고찰하였다. 조선과 청의 무역은 조청상민수륙무역장정(朝淸商民水陸貿易章程, 1882년)의 체결, 기선회사들의 경쟁, 화상(華商)의 활동 등에 의해 1880년대 이후 크게 증가하였으며, 궁궐 에서 사용될 물품들은 중국 상해와 조선의 인천을 잇는 항로를 통해 청으로부터 유입되었다. 1891년 건립된 경복궁 집옥재(集玉齋)는 건축의 재료(벽돌)와 축조법, 기둥과 현판 그리 고 실내 공간의 문과 격단(隔斷) 장식 등에서 중국 건축의 장식 요소들이 반영되었다. 집옥재 는 청의 영향을 확인할 수 있는 궁궐건축으로써 청의 공예품 유입도 촉진하였을 것으로 판단 된다. 이와 관련하여 현전하는 청의 가구, 도자기, 금속공예품 등을 종합하여 양식 특성을 비 교한 결과 창덕궁에 전하는 중국 가구 일부와 도자기들은 페라나칸(Peranakan)을 대상으로 판매되었던 가구와 법랑자기(琺瑯瓷器)였으며, 청말 광동성(廣東省)을 중심으로 제작되어 전 세계로 판매되었던 광동 가구와 법랑기였다. 조선의 궁궐에 유입된 청대 공예품들은 19세기 이후 중국의 무역항을 통해 전 세계로 확산되었던 중국의 미술품 수출 산업과 밀접한 관련이 있었으며, 판매 대상과 지역에 따른 독특한 양식을 확인할 수 있어 의미가 있다.

A major performance stage carpenter, Jang Insang led performance stages from the 1719 Sukjong Royal Banquet and was confirmed by historical records to be the first craftsman. Lee Wandeuk led the Hwaseong Fortress performance stages of the Jeongjo period and Gichuk Jinchan performance stages of the Sunjo period. The carpenter techniques he used during the Jeongjo period were succeeded to the Sunjo period. Ahn Sungil was the head craftsman who led the performance stages of Jagyeongjeon Jinjak, Muja Jinjak, and Gichuk Jinchan of the Sujo period, under which the foundation for court palace performances was laid. The progression of major carpenters includes Jang Insang of the Sukjong period, Jeon Yoochu of the Yeongjo period, Ahn Sugil of the Sunjo period, Yoon Seoksin of the Heonjong period, Kim Yoonsik of the Gojong period, Lee Jongyoon, Kim Soongil, Seo Sangmook, and Han Sujoon. In addition, the Major Repair of Injeongjeon Hall (1857) of the Cheoljong period was the most important palace construction project for transferring the carpenters’skills. Through this project, Ahn Sungil of the Sunjo period, Kim Myeonggap, Yoon Seoksin of the Heonjong period, Kwon Deuknyang, and Kim Sungil of the Gojong period were able to interact with each other. That is, this major repair project of Injeongjeon Hall reflected the major carpenters’best techniques through performance stage construction, showing the progression of Ahn Sungil, Yoon Seokshin, and Kim Sungil, who led the constructions of Gichuk Jinchan of the Sunjo period (1829), Mushin Jinchan of the Heonjong period (1848), and Jeonghae Jinchan of the Gojong period (1887), the most impressive performance stages of the late Joseon period. The carpenters of the court performance stages participated in important construction projects of the royal palace, reflecting the superior technical skills of the carpenters in the construction of court palace performance stages. The carpenters who played a leading role in the construction of performance stages were able to interact with one another and transfer their excellent technical skills, providing the driving force that allowed court performance stages to blossom into splendid and high-quality court stages in the late Joseon Dynasty.

The 1960s in Britain was the period of rapid economic and social change. Under this circumstance, the visionary architect Cedric Price designed the Fun Palace, of which idea came from the theatre producer, Joan Littlewood. They hoped this place to be an improvisational learning space, so Price proposed the building as ‘kit of parts’ which can respond to programmatic indeterminacy. Cybernetics was introduced to control this flexibility dramatically changed the character of the project from ‘theatre of people’ to ‘interactive machine’. That resulted in the change of the status of user from subjective human beings to abstract data in the cybernetic algorithm as well, and led the project to a completely opposite direction from that Price intended. After Fun Palace, cybernetics technology could still be found in his other projects, and it can be assumed that this was because the algorithmic system of cybernetics were on the same line of thought of Price’s idea ― anti-building or ‘kit of parts’. The effects of cybernetics varied in projects; Similar negative effect in Fun Palace can be found in Generator project, but on the other hand, in Potteries Thinkbelt project, cybernetics showed a positive aspect by contribution to the development of project on the formal analogy of algorithmic network.

It could be said that the Kyongbok Palace, the main palace of the Chosun Dynasty which built in the early years of the Dynasty, had two main architectural characters. One ; the entire building complex was arranged under the influence of ancient Chinese building principle based on the Confucian ideas. Two ; building compositions and shape of each buildings were succeeded from the palace of the former Koryo Dynasty, especially on the latter periods of it. The architecture of the Kyongbok Palace had formed its own uniqueness by developing these two characters.
