Abstract This studies come from the thinking that if we can apply another standards but to classify or compare the length in studying Da-Po syle architecture. This studies are mainly about the measurement of Chum-Cha and the distance of Chul-Mok. Instead of only arranging data about length, this studies discuss how the other materials interact with the measurement of Chum-Cha and the distance of Chul-Mok and review the width of materials. The applying period is limited from the late Goryeo Dynasty and to the early Chosun Dynasty because narrow limits are better for detailed analysis and it’s not to classify the periodic characteristics. Analysis progress by three classes and the results are as follows. 1. To build a building with edges perfectly, it’s important to match the length between the distance two bracket sets located at a right angle. 2. In architecture from the late Goryeo Dynasty to the early Chosun Dynasty, the width of Soro(0.6Cheok) has a significant effect on the length of Chum-Cha. The length variation between small Chum-Cha and large Chum-Cha is same as the width of Soro. 3. In the late Goryeo and the early Chosun Period, the distance of Chul-Mok was closely connected with the width of Soro(0.6Cheok). The width of Soro by two makes the distance of Chul-Mok. And the width of Soro is equal to the distance between other Soros located on adjacent Chul-Mok. Finally, it is concluded that the width of Soro was an important factor to determine the measurement of Chum-Cha and the distance of Chul-Mok in the late Goryeo and the early Chosun period.
