| Abstract |
This study examined how Western-style housing culture was accepted and changed in Korea through the analysis of the reception room of
houses during the Japanese colonial period. The reception room was a typical Western-style space, with carpets on the floor, imported
wallpaper and curtains on the walls, Western-style furniture and a fireplace. It was made not only as a public space for welcoming guests,
but also as a conspicuous space and a space for appreciation of a house owner. However, due to the circumstances of the Japanese colonial
period, Japanese and Korean elements such as Dadami, Dokonoma and Ondol were mixed in the Western-style reception room. As time
passed, the size of the reception room became smaller or combined with other rooms, and the decorations decreased, and it is now a space
that can no longer be found in Korea. |
