This research aims to investigate Park Kilyong's architectural theory and critique of Gyeongseong (Seoul) buildings, expressed in his 'Overview of Modern Buildings in Gyeongseong' and 'Critique of Gyeongseong Buildings' (Samcheolli, Sept. and Oct. 1935); and 'Architectural Form of the 100% Function' and 'The Modern and Architecture (1)-(4)' (Dong-A Daily, 28 Jul. to 1 Aug. 1936). As a result, it is confirmed that Park had the functionalist theory of modern architecture, which suggests that Korean architects of the Japanese colonial period were accommodating the contemporary trend of world architecture. However, Park shows his fundamental limitations in the fact that the main content of his articles was a verbatim translation of two Japanese references (Kurata, 1927; Ishihara, 1929) without proper indications. Despite the limitations, his texts are still meaningful since he formed his own architectural theory on the basis of what he translated; and indeed his critique of Gyeongseong buildings, however simple, was based on the theory. This research makes a critical analysis of Park's functionalist theory from both the 1930s' and present points of view and compares his commentaries on Gyeongseong architecture with those by Ko Yu-seop (1932) and Hong Yunsick (1937), illustrating how Korea perceived architecture and modernism in 1930s.

1965년 건축사 자격증 제도가 생긴 이래로 내년이면 대한건축사협회도 50주년을 맞습니다. 긴 여정의 건축계를 돌아보니, 앞서가신 원로 건축사들의 여정이 궁금해집니다. 60년대부터 현재까지 세계가 놀랄 만큼 눈부신 발전을 한 우리나라를 둘러보니, 경제 성장만큼이나 성장한 건축물들이 우리 주변을 둘러싸고 있습니다. 그 현장 곳곳이 선배 건축사분들의 발자취가 아닐까 합니다. 오늘 이 자리에는 70, 80대 건축사분들이 함께 했습니다. 함께하는 자리에서 선배님들의 주옥같은 역사를 들어보겠습니다.

역사적으로 우리나라의 전통건축은 중국건축과 밀접한 관계를 지니고 있다. 그래서 중국이 자본주의 경제체제를 수용하면서 개방되자마자 중국건축에 관심을 가지고 있던 많은 사람들이 중국을 방문하게 되었다. 그리고 여러 사람들에 의해 중국건축에 대한 소개가 이루어졌다. 그러나 중국은 워낙 방대한 영토를 지니고 있고, 아직은 중국을 여행하는데 교통이나 안전 등 많은 문제가 있어서 국내에 소개된 중국건축은 빙산의 일각에 불과하다고 할 수 있다. 필자는 지난해 9월 28일부터 10월 25일까지 산서성을 중심으로 한 중국의 일부를 답사한 바 있다. 이번 답사 지역 중에는 기왕에 국내에 잘 알려진 곳도 있고 그렇지 않은 곳도 있다. 이번 기회에 그 답사내용을 사진과 평면 스케치를 곁들어 소개하고자 한다. 중국건축에 대한 이해와 연구에 조금이나마 도움이 되었으면 한다.

Unlike the extrinsic Modern Functionalist, Louis I. Kahn, a modern American architect, had been pursued intrinsic architectural nature based on historicity; The Essence of Architecture, during his lifetime. That is the reason why he is generally called as one of frontiers toward Post-Modern Architecture. However, the actual meaning of his 'The Essence of Architecture' is so vague and unclear until today, because not only his complex personal thought and career but various and subjective interpretation by so many later architects and architectural theorists. In the context, this paper attempt to reanalyze and clarify Kahn's idea of 'The Essence of Architecture' with the deep and objective view of aesthetics focused on a distinguished contemporary German philosopher, N. Hartman's idea of phenomenological relation and the stratified structure of a work of art.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between conservation activities and the development of tourism in the modern period in the Korean peninsula. The main building of Jangansa Temple, located in Mt. Geumgang, was repaired in the 1930s. During the repairs, the Japanese General-Government actively engaged in the development of Mt. Geumgang and raised funds for the operation of the Korean Peninsula through tourism revenue. The repair work was carried out under the influence of the Mt. Geumgang development project. And its influence is revealed by reviewing official documents recording repair work. This study tried to clarify the relationship between development and repair work through official documents.
