| Abstract |
In modern Korean architecture, some of school buildings have been referred to as Tudor Gothic style by its design elements. But, to be
more exact in detail, they have to be interpreted as a Collegiate Gothic style that has occurred in the United States since the mid-19th
century. Therefore, this study explains the progress of Collegiate Gothic style in the United States through the literature published since the
19th century, and examines the adoptation process of Korea. In addition, this thesis analyzes the characteristics of American Collegiate Gothic
style and the elements of Collegiate Gothic style universally adopted in Korea, and then attempts a new interpretation on the representative
Collegiate Gothic architecture in Korea. The results of this research are as follows. The Collegiate Gothic style in the United States caused
by the change of educational environment in the 19th century was accepted for religious purposes by foreign architects such as Henry K.
Murphy and W. Vories, and was also accepted by domestic architects who were directly influenced by Western architecture such as Park,
Dong-jin. In addition, the accepted Collegiate Gothic style shows common features not only in the decoration of Tudor Gothic but also in
the material and compositional aspects such as the quadrangle plans and the rock-faced exterior facades. From the point of view of the
Collegiate Gothic style then in vogue at many schools and universities, further researches will be needed to interpret modern school
architectures in Korea. |
