Abstract

The first Christian temples in Korea were built on the basis of traditional architecture, and were mainly influenced by the architectural and construction concept of the 'hanok' (traditional Korean house). This architectural and construction principle aims to adapt the building to the natural environment, as well as to the entry of sunlight. Early religious architecture, mainly Protestant, was also characterized by a spatial organization that reflected the Korean culture of distinction between men and women. This article, in addition to presenting some of the principles that formulated South Korean Christian religious architecture, aims to point out in contemporary production the dialogue between traditional principles and new approaches to worship space.
