Continuity and Consistency of the Traditional Courtyard House Plan in Modern I{orean Dwellings
نویسنده
چکیده
The courtyard plan provides the basis for a traditional house type that is deeply associated with the Korean way of life. The first part of this paper discusses concepts and characteristics intrinsic to traditional Korean house plans and introduces various examples of courtyard house layouts. Thereafter, it selects several examples of modern Korean dwellings and compares them from the point of view of plan and layout. The investigation discovers that the idea of the courtyard is still relevant to modern Korean dwellings. Transformed and/or retained, the courtyard idea still provides one of the prototypes of the modern Korean dwelling. The various forms it has taken serve to promote the continuity and consistency of traditional Korean architecture. They also lend credence to arguments that architectural tradition involves more than style and technology.
