| Abstract |
This research compared the homeowners, functions and architectural characteristics of 36 pavilions built before 1945 in Sangju with literature and the pavilions in the Gyeongsangbuk-do area. The results are as follows: The functions, sizes, floor plans and forms of the pavilions constructed in Sangju tended to reflect the strong personal preferences of the homeowners by location before the 18th century with the functions of education, training, tranquil life after retirement and enjoying sceneries, sizes of 3×1.5kan and 3×2kan and shapes of '一', 'ㄱ', and 'T' shapes. Since the 18th century, as the clan activities have started to be carried out in a competitive manner to honor the famous ancestors after the death of the homeowners or destruction of the pavilions, it is regarded that the pavilions have been transformed into the houses with hipped and gabled roof as the universal and practical '一' shape and the form of ondol rooms on both sides with the main floored room at the center, side access, Ikgong style and Mindori style was promulgated. The literature described that Sangju had a higher number of pavilions, a faster construction period and more named scholars and homeowners of the Seoyae School than other areas in Gyeongsangbuk-do. This is regarded as the result of the role of a provincial man(governor) who took the lead in spreading Neo-Confucianism in a city where there was a provincial office of Gyeongsangbuk-do, continued activities of the Seoae School Ties and the natural and humanistic environments including the picturesque places of Nakdonggang River and Baekdudaegan Mountain Range. |
