This study attempted to examine the relationship between traditional architecture and its corresponding modern architecture by using the dynamic characteristics of text linguistics. The study assumed that past and present buildings, which maintain some kind of relationship, were a single text, and explored its internal structure that generated continuous textuality. As a case study, the buildings by Wang Shu and Kuma Kengo was reinterpreted using the techniques of cohesive structure to analyze their continuity with each tradition. The results showed that both architects used a variety of strategies to inherit tradition, but there were also differences in applying expressive and semantic aspects. Wang Shu attempted a modern reinterpretation of its architectural expressions at various levels, while Kuma actively borrowed traditional materials, structures, and patterns allowing various alteration in their meanings. We found that some concepts of text linguistics could be applicable as a meaningful perspective for analyzing and evaluating modern architecture that inherits tradition. We hope that our approach will develop into a comprehensive methodology for architectural analysis through more diverse attempts in the future.
This study examines the Banja Dancheong style of traditional Korean architecture, with a particular emphasis on the lotus pattern found among the Woomul Banja ceiling patterns. The genesis of Korean ceiling decoration motifs can be traced back to the Goguryeo mural tombs of the mid-4th century. The oldest known examples of Banja Dancheong styles in Korean traditional architecture are Beomja lotus pattern decorated in well-shaped Banja of the Daeungjeon Hall of Bongjeongsa Temple in Andong (1435), the Geungnakbojeon Hall of Muwisa Temple in Gangjin (1430) and the Guksajeon Hall of Songgwangsa Temple (15th century). This Beomja lotus pattern, adorned with the ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ mantra, emerges as an almost definitive example. Therefore, it is evident that this decorative element stands as a quintessential exemplar of the early style among well-shaped Banja decorations in Korean temple architecture. The Ohwayeonhwadangcho pattern, encapsulating the essence of the lotus motif, is a Dancheong pattern with a lineage that stretches back to the early Joseon Dynasty, where it was initially employed in the Banja wells. This pattern exhibits design characteristics that are perfectly suited to the square Banja wells. The lotus pattern, thus, has been extensively utilized as a decorative motif in palaces, temples, and Confucian architectural structures, evolving continuously from Korea’s Goguryeo period Dancheong patterns to the present day.
중국의 고건축물(古建築物)은 인류문명중의 걸작으로 고대인 의 출중한 지혜와 정밀한 기예 및 장인정신의 결정체이다. 이 들 건축물의 기세는 성대하며 건축양식의 풍채 또한 독특하며 정교하고 섬세하였다. 특히 중국 강남 지역의 고건축물은 원림 (園林), 수곽(水廓, 水鄕) 등과 청와(靑瓦)와 백벽(白壁)으로 이 루어진 독특한 풍경을 지니고 있다. 또한 그 청와와 백벽으로 이루어진 고건축물 중에서도 강남지역의 독특한 예술매력을 보 여주는 휘파(徽派) 건축이 가장 대표적이다. 오늘날 현대 장신구 디자인에서는 전통문화에 대한 전수와 계승, 그리고 정감 및 예술에 대한 사상의 구현을 더욱 중요시 하고 있다. 이에 본고에서는 강남지역의 청와와 백벽 건축물의 요소를 현대 장신구의 디자인에 유입함을 연구하였다. 휘파(徽 派)건축의 수묵(水墨)양식 건축은 청신하고 아담하며 고풍스러 운 느낌이다. 이는 현대 장신구의 수수하고 진중하며 개성적인 모습으로 전개되어 전통적인 장신구와의 귀족적적이며 화려하 고 고루함 등과 상대적으로 차별이 되었다. 이들 휘파(徽派) 건 축물과 현대 디자인은 예술형식의 융합이며 전통에 대한 추억 이다. 그러므로 본고는 현대 예술 디자인의 창조적인 탐색이다. 이를 바탕으로 장신구 디자인을 탐구하는 동학들에게 새로운 디자인의 창의와 폭넓은 사고에 도움이 되길 바란다.
Traditional Korean architecture and traditional ships maintained a close relationship with carpenters and tools because wood, the material, was common. This close relationship may have been from the time of ancient architecture and ancient ships. In previous studies, researchers proved the relationship between these two sides through historical records of traditional architecture and traditional ships. This study attempts to prove the structural association using existing remains. As a result, three structural similarities between traditional architecture and traditional ships could be found. First, the types of wood used are similar, and the tools and terms used are similar. Second, the method of distinguishing horizontal and vertical materials and the structure of wood and the method of forming wood are similar. Lastly, the ship carpenters mobilized for the construction of the palace mainly worked on long and curved materials such as the eaves and the ridge of a roof, because this was the work done when the ship was built. Therefore, it can be assumed that the roof structure they created resembles that of the ship.
It can be meaningful that this study attempted to analyze the use cases and forms based on the literature on the painting walls of the Joseon Dynasty, and attempted basic research to prevent disaster damage using traditional elements. This study summarizes the use of the Hwabangbyeok wall of J oseon Dynasty as follows. First, Hwabangbyeok wall was used from the early J oseon Dynasty and was adopted by palaces and other major state facilities to cope with fire and theft. Second, the Hwabangbyeok Wall was also referred to as the wall below the lower part of the wall, and was constructed with the purpose of preventing disasters from outside. Third, in an analysis of the Daeseongjeon shrine of Hyanggyo, many construction cases were identified mainly in the Gyeonggi area, which is assumed to be based on production and construction conditions along with local climatic factors. Fourth, it can be said that the Hwabangbyeok wall was basically adopted to prevent comprehensive disaster risk reduction in case of external intrusion and fire.
