| Abstract |
This study classified the plan type of Korean Protestant churches by analyzing church architectures which have been reported in Architectural magazines since 1960. Also, the study analyzed relationship of 'the year of construction -denomination- arrangements of pews. From this study, we reached into conclusions as follow: First of all, plan types can be divided into classes: a quadrangle, a fan shape, a circle, an octagon, a symbol type, and an irregular type. Also, each class can be divided into a various of shapes according to its type. Second, a plan type of a quadrangle type showed the highest distribution rate, but as times went by, the rate has been decreasing gradually. The distribution rate of a horizontal rectangle, a irregular quadrangle, a acute fan shape, a circle, an octagon, a oval type has been increasing. Third, a plan type of a rectangle type in most denominations was most preferable one. Also, the distribution rate of preference was the highest in the Holiness Church, and the rate tends to decrease from the Baptist Church to the Methodist Church, Full Gospel Church, Presbyterian Church, and independent churches. Finally, specific seat arrangements of church attendants vary according to each plan type. However, seat arrangements making the central axis worship were shown in a rectangle type, such as types of church procession ceremony. |
