    Bulguksa Temple, South Korea Bulguksa is often regarded as the 'Museum Without Walls' Very few structures around the world can match the architectural beauty and aesthetic appeal of the Bulguksa Temple in South Korea. Located in Gyeongju city, often referred as the 'Museum Without Walls', this 8 th-century Buddhist temple is a delicately constructed masterpiece. The temple is known for its immense religious significance. The wooden structure of the temple rests on a raised platform of stone. At this temple complex, you experience the spiritual enlightenment your soul yearns for. History The construction of the Temple started during the reign of King Beop-Heung of Silla Kingdom in 5 th century AD. It was completed in 774 AD under the dominion of King Hye-Gong and got its present name – Bulguksa Temple. Several renovations took place over the next few centuries. Bulguksa is believed to be designed by the legendary architect Kim Daeseong. UNESCO enlisted this temple and the Seokguram Grotto as a World Heritage Site in 1995. What to Do at Bulguksa Temple ? Visiting Bulguksa Temple is akin to witnessing the richness of Buddhist art along with the ancient culture and architectural assets. The temple complex houses relics including Seokgatap and Dabotap (two of the most valued pagodas in the country), the Golden-seated Amita Figure, and the Vairocana Buddhist Figure. Theses two relics were designated as the national treasure of Korea in 1962. The Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas stand at a height of 10.4 meters and 8.2 meters respectively. These two relics separate the Mauve Mist Gate called Jahamun and the hall housing the Sakyamuni Buddha known as Daeungjeon.

  • Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages
    Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages Chan Hee Lee Department of Cultural Heritage Conservation Sciences, Kongju National University, Gongju, 32588, Republic of Korea Keywords: Korean stone heritages, Conservation, Weathering, Damage, Environmental control. Abstract: In Republic of Korea, a peninsula country located at the eastern region of the Asian continent, is mostly composed of granite and gneiss. The southern Korean peninsula stated approximately 7,000 tangible cultural heritages. Of these, the number of stone heritages are 1,882 (26.8%), showing a diverse types such as stone pagoda (25.8%), stone Buddha statues (23.5%), stone monuments (18.1%), petroglyph, dolmen, fossils and etc. Igneous rock accounts for the highest portion of the stone used for establishing Korean stone heritages, forming approximately 84% of state-designated cultural properties. Among these, granite was used most often, 68.2%, followed by diorite for 8.2%, and sandstone, granite gneiss, tuff, slate, marble, and limestone at less than 4% each. Furthermore, values of the Korean stone heritages are discussed as well as various attempts for conservation of the original forms of these heritages. It is generally known that the weathering and damage degrees of stone heritage are strongly affected by temperature and precipitation. The most Korean stone heritages are corresponded to areas of middle to high weathering according to topography and annual average temperature and precipitation of Korea. Therefore, examination of environmental control methods are required for conservation considering the importance of stone heritages exposed to the outside conditions, and monitoring and management systems should be established for stable conservation in the long term.

  • Evaluation of Geometrical Characteristics of Korean Pagodas
    Evaluation of geometrical characteristics of Korean pagodas *Fahimeh Yavartanoo1) and Thomas Kang2) 1), 2) Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea 2) [email protected] ABSTRACT One of the most popular monuments in Korean architectural heritage is multi-story stone pagoda. This study indicates detailed description and geometrical proportions of Korean pagodas. To evaluate geometrical characteristics of Korean pagodas, several cases were investigated and finally 60 of them with data that are more accessible were chosen. The pagodas are classified into different groups such as 3-story, 5-story and 7- story pagodas and different materials such as stone, wood and brick, though most of them are 3-story and stone monuments. The structure of pagodas is divided into four parts to evaluate geometrical features: base sty lobate, body, roof and head. This study has been focused on two sections, body and roof in detail. Using existing database, they were modelled in AutoCAD software to compare their proportions more accurately. Then the height, length and width of body part as well as the length and width of roof were investigated. According to the results, it is found that Pagoda structure follows a certain pattern with specific geometrical proportions. 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to define different structural forms of pagodas, which are one form of stupas, and to evaluate proportions of these historical monuments in Korean ancient architecture. In the fifth century BCE, the historic Buddha Sakyamuni died and was cremated, and the sarira found in his ashes were divided into eight portions.
