- Abstract
- During the Japanese colonial period of Korea(1910-1945), the Japanese colonial government built Korean style buildings using Western timber truss. Although these buildings look like traditional Korean pavilions in terms of exterior form, they have significantly different structural frames. The architectural features originated from Korean tradition, such as protruding eaves and curved roof shape, were achieved by different structural system and methods which were developed from late 19th to early 20th centuries in Japan. In this study, we analyzed the hybridized roof structure and how the prototypical methods and their variants were implemented.
