| Abstract |
Buddhist temple in mountain area in Joseon dynasty usually had a court-concentric layout with four pavilions on each side of madang.
However in the latter half of the 20th century, many buddhist temples showed aspects of transitions on the course of modernization. This
study tracked the modernistic changes, found three types of shifts and considered its features and cause of formation. Throughout
modernization, these types expanded in size, altering their square footage, relationship with nearby structures, and the purpose of the madang.
This underscores that the court-concentric layout, though appearing traditional, has a confined role as the main Buddha hall's front courtyard. |
