Changes of Use and Urban Isolation of the Gate Pavilion with Walled City in the Japanese Colonial Period

일제강점기 도시 성곽 문루의 변용과 도시적 고립

The purpose of this study is to clarify the process of change in the method of using gate pavilion and perception during the Japanese colonial period. After 1905, the city walls were deconstructed. And the gate pavilion of the early colonial period was used for a different purpose than before. Japan used it for administrative facilities, exhibitions, and lectures through the pre-modern symbolism and geographical advantages of gate pavilion. Depending on the city, it was divided into using the gate pavilion as it is or transforming it into an internal space. Since the 1930s, there have been no cases in which gate pavilions have been used. In this background, there was the situatioin of gate pavilion, which is becoming isolated from urban organizations, and the securing of local administrative facilities after the 1920s. Eventually, with the enactment of 'Law for Conservation' in 1933, the gate pavilion was completely converted from the object of utilizaion to the object of appreciation. By analyzing this process, it is significant in that it improves the understanding of the gate pavilion divided into pre-modern and modern times.
