Abstract This study compares and analyzes examples of Ctesiphon construction methods from domestic and international sources, focusing on the characteristics of suspension arches to elucidate the planning characteristics and transformation process of the Ctesiphon method in Jeju. It was found that Ctesiphon construction spread actively in Europe, Oceania, and Jeju during the 1950s and 1960s. While it was primarily used for military and religious purposes abroad in the 1950s, in Jeju, it was mainly applied to industrial purposes such as houses, pigsties, warehouses, and factories in the 1960s. The spatial planning characteristics of Ctesiphon buildings in Jeju showed that residential buildings preferred square-shaped plans for effective space utilization, while non-residential buildings favored rectangular plans with high aspect ratios and large spaces achieved through physical additions or B series. The transformation process of Ctesiphon buildings in Jeju was traced through their spatial planning characteristics and historical context. This analysis confirmed that the Ctesiphon method spread globally during the 1950s and 1960s, was introduced to Jeju in the 1960s, and has since evolved to suit the island's specific purposes and conditions.
