A study on the spatial characteristics of Traditional Pavilions architecture through visual perception -Focusing on the Gwangpunggak in Soswaewon -

The traditional pavilion in the Joseon dynasty was a place for scholars to discuss and reflect on lofty principles and philosophical ideals because the traditional pavilion functioned as an architecture where a person could stay temporarily in a beautiful landscape of hills and rivers and contemplate deeply the relationship between human being and nature. So the traditional pavilion plays a kind of role as a point of intermediation between human beings and nature. As in modern times, architecture adapts to and accepts nature, also pursues the availability of mutual reaction between a human being and the nature with the act of architecture being united with the nature completely through linkage to surrounding contexts by adapting it to surroundings due to linkage to surroundings not a single space. This study seeks to conduct basic research on the method of intermediation with nature represented in the internal and external space of traditional pavilion architecture and architectural characteristics as a visual structure through the harmony between nature and an architecture based on an analysis of spatial characteristics represented from the visual perception of traditional pavilion architecture.
