Abstract The Cow-shed housing was built as a cow-shed, which was the site of exploitation of Japanese colonial era, and after that, it began to be used as evacuation housing by the refugees at the time of the Korean war. Also, cow-shed housing has important historical value as the background of modern korean history, such as being used as a residence space for low-income urban workers during economic growth. In this process, wooden structural columns were cut or replaced for spatial efficiency. In the long run, the structure of this building is characterized by a complex structure because part of the wooden structure has been replaced by a masonry wall. Also in the roof structure, many structural members have been cut and used for the efficiency of the attic space. These structural changes are quite absurd in the structural aspect. But these architectural activities were valuable in terms of life history in that they were carried out in a limited and special environment by refugees who are nontechnical architects in accordance with the spatial demands of evacuation life at the time.
