| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to understand the variation characters of the Protestant worship space after the Korean war which classified by evaluation of its period, type, denomination, and scale.??The results are summarized as follows: (1) Postwar Korean Protestant worship space can be classified as 8 different shapes- rectangular, square, cross, trapezoid, circular, fan-type, elliptical, and irregular shape. (2) A rectangular type was traditional plan until 1968 before Je-Am church plan was introduced with a circular shape to furtherance??diversification of the space plan. (3) The Presbyterian church dominated in adoption of a rectangular shape and the Methodist for a square type. This is an evident to make assumption that the Methodist is less conservative and open-minded to new forms. (4) Frequently as well, square, fan-type, and circular form is adopted in a small scale church. This phenomenon was not intended to shorten the distance between altar and nave, but rather related to exuviate from conventional form, pursuit symbolism, and imitation of an aptitude of a large scale church. |
