| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of the legal facilities under the Japanese occupation with drawings by Joseon Government-General. From 1906, Japanese was intent on propagating the modern legal system and the facility. Especially, from 1908 to the early 1910s, many local legal facilities were established in two ways. One is the new construction with a few prototype, which showed the chronological change. The other is the repair of the traditional building in cases of the small branch office. Since 1912, the Joseon Government-General provided the newly modern legal facilities step by step. With plans of the branch offices of a district court, we identified some features; they were constructed by wood instead of brick until the early 1930s, reinforced concrete have been used since 1934, the width of them got bigger from 18 to 24 cheok since 1918, the 'J' shape plan was turned to the 'E' shapes since 1923, the facade design had been changed in 1930s, and the interior space had been enlarged and unified in 1930s. |
