초록
The aim of this paper is to clarify spatial conceptions of Japanese and Korean aristocratic residences built during a 250-year period since 1600, in order to interpret meanings of these built forms. The first topics of discussion are the materials that surround the spaces and, second, the elements that are not only space dividers, but also reflections of social order. Finally, the layouts and spatial layers of Korean and Japanese houses are examined in terms of linguistic and ‘non-verbal’ aspects of the ‘language of architecture’ in both cultures. Throughout this interpretation, special attention is paid to the continuous space of Japanese and Korean architecture, in which of most importance are the distinctions of multipurpose rooms, ‘inside’ and ‘outside’, as well as private and public areas, defined by such features as behavior and language, besides architectural expressions.
