| Abstract |
The overall structure of the Samaso architecture which started to be established in most districts during the Chosun era was determined, and from the results of the examination of the construction features , the following conclusions could be obtained. The construction location of Samaso was mainly within or near a Confucian school. From this, we know that it had been influencing the arrangement formation of Confucian schools during the late Chosun era. Secondly, they were builted near a government office. Mostly, the Honam province's Samaso were builted within or near a Confucian school. But the Yeungnam province's Samaso were builted near a government office. The scale of the Samaso consists of 2~5 Kans (an enclosure with predetermined measurements), and amongst them 4 Kans was mostly adopted. For the floor plan, a structure with the verandah floor in the center and rooms on either side consisting of a 4 Kan frontage was mostly adopted. Samaso's features (in roof, Gong-Po and structure) in Ho-Nam province were more sprendid than those Yeung-Nam province. |
