    o Course Overview:

    This course aims to understand the architectural culture of Korean Buddhism by examining its historical origin and tradition, as well as the nature of the spaces within each temple. By focusing on three historical scenes of Buddhist architecture, namely the early Buddhist architecture in India, the establishment of Zen temple architecture in East Asia, and the development of temple architecture in Korea during the Joseon Dynasty, we aim to explore the history of Buddhist architecture. Based on this, we seek to preserve it as a cultural heritage and observe the distinct aspects of Korean Buddhist architecture categorized into entrance spaces, worship spaces, and meditation spaces.

     

    o Course Objectives:

    - To explore the original characteristics of Buddhist architecture through the religious aspects of Buddhism.

    - To examine the characteristics of Seon temples that originated in East Asia.

    - To understand the process of the formation of mountain temples through the historical background of the Joseon Dynasty.

    - To comprehend the diverse spatial compositions in Buddhist architecture.

    - To identify religious symbols present in various architectural structures of temples.
