4차 산업기반의 불교건축 활용방안

Abstract

In the construction of the traditional Buddhist temple architecture, its function as the space for Buddhist practice has been expanded into various functions, reflecting the trend of the times and the characteristics of local cultures. As the number of the visitors increased, accompanying their diversity, the Buddhist temples have accommodated complex functions. In addition, as each of the Buddhist denominations has developed its own unique doctrines, the temple architecture has been transformed accordingly. With the formation of their own independent system and doctrines, for example, the Faxiang School (法相宗), the Yujia School (瑜 伽宗), the Huayan School (華嚴宗), the Jogye School (曹溪宗), and the Linji School (臨濟宗) have formulated their own new theories of temple architecture. With the expansion of the Buddhist temples’ function from the space for Buddhist practice to the space for popular cultural performances, beyond their originally expected functions, their development in the industrialized metropolitan areas has been accompanied by the accommodation of various functions. Especially, in order to meet the needs of the trends of today’s digitalization, the architecture of the Buddhist temples has to utilize the cutting-edge information and communication technology. As the 4th industry era is approaching, the most advanced technology is being reflected in the construction of buildings, nearly without exception. Accordingly, even in the construction, maintenance, and repair of the Buddhist temples, the composition of the temple architecture should utilize the systemic innovation by superintelligence that facilitates the super-connection between people and things as well as among things, regardless of the inside or outside of the temple architecture. We need the Buddhist temples that meet the standards of smart city, smart farming based on IoT, and innovative space management by big data. Further, in the new construction of Buddhist temples, AR / VR can be utilized in various aspects, even within the limitations of their possibly narrow spaces. Since the essential function of the Buddhist temples should be focused upon Buddhist practice and education, however, if the indispensable acceptance is not premised on appropriate fusion and utilization, the technologies by the 4th industrial revolution may have a negative influence.
