| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of the normal school main building in 1930s-40s with drawings made by Joseon Government-General. In general, the scheme of the main school was persisted irrespective of ages. It was used that the size of a building, a classroom, and a corridor and the linear floor plan with a side corridor as ever. However, Changed features with the passage of time were also identified; these were the introduction of the new material like the reinforced concrete, the appearance of the asymmetrical plan, and eroded concept for the centrality and verticality. In addition, on the change of the staircase plan, we could find that structural rationality was more reflected than the others. Elevation plan also began to be changed close to the functional modern facade; that is, diminished use of the typical elements like pediments, the plain facade without protrusion or decoration, and the bigger windows for the well-lighted inner space. |
