Untitled
[edit]Note: This is another contribution to the wikipedia by the Press Office of Yi Seok, and with hope it will allow useful information for those attempting a fast accurate guide to Korean architecture. Users are encouraged as well to see the Korean art entry for a subdivision of other important Korean art forms.
Updated, any comments post to POofYS Dated 04:05, 8 April 2005.
Updated, substantive editing; will cut down repeated elements in the next edit and clarify this complicated subject to focus more on individual buildings and architects. Urban architecture in Seoul looks as if it needs devolve another entry; as Busan and perhaps other cities. There might as well be a requirement for an entry on Sports architecture to be generated.

Multicolored 'Day Glo' Stripes In Korean Temples Shrines and Elsewhere
[edit]This is a very obvious Korean architectural detail. McDogm
The Influence of Frank Lloyd Wright In Ordinary Architecture
[edit]It is as though Koreans decided that FLW was really good, and made a lot of good looking apartment buildings that emulated that style. Korean American Ska music in Southern California and Manhattan Fruit Stands follow a similar template. I suppose it is a 'template' template. It is a very good method that is easy to adapt to one's life; is there a Korean word for it?McDogm Dated Apr 28 2005 0318 est usa
Early Architecture
[edit]Is there any way we can get more information about pre-1900 architecture in Korea. There is plenty of stuff on post-Soviet and post-World War II and a lot of referencing to earlier sytles, but no mention of what these earlier styles are. --Kerowyn 10:05, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- Chief editor is working on it; we have been getting information in on Korean swords, and Korean flower arrangement, and Righteous army movements; expected to get more information on architecture over the next while, and add more on earlier times. Sorry for the delay. I will be filling in Goryeo temple architecture next, and related information to Japanese temple architecture originated by Koreans; and as well the Confucian styles. It's a very big subject, and the initial thrust was to talk about the new wave of atelier architects, and then go retrograde. Thanks for the encouragement.

Tagged Section's Title
[edit]Please clean it up. The ==Sports architecture: transition to a Korean style== is against wikipedian style. What kind of title is that.100110100 01:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Korean castles
[edit]I see no mention in this article of Korean castles or fortresses. Certainly they existed, and certainly many are still extant, no? Wikipedia:WikiProject Castles has recently come into existence, and could use the help of experts on Korea to expand Wikipedia's coverage of castles and fortresses around the world. Thank you.

Korean architectural influence on Japan.
[edit]Someone should make put architectures like Kudara-ji, Kudara Odera, Horyu-ji, Asukadera, etc. Baekje impact on Asuka period architectures. Also, Japanese Yayoi-Kofun architectures was greatly influenced by Southern Korean proto-types. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.15.7 (talk) 18:41, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Colonial Period Architecture
[edit]It feels like that this particular section mentioned in the header is biased and takes on a specific POV. In the entire subsection, there are only 2 sources for this very contentious period of Korean history. There is a section that reads "This ruthless execution of systematic colonialism left important Korean buildings neglected" that honestly reeks of pro-Korean bias by use of words such as ruthless when it adds nothing but personal opinion.
Likewise, another section reads "Korean architectural schools were subsequently closed, and Korean architects were required to train only in Japan " without nary a source mentioned. In fact, the only points the writer of this section can back up are fairly obvious statements that can be found in many scholarly works - while other accusations against Japan are uncited.
What do others think? 96.55.109.61 (talk) 10:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- No response to this very serious issue? I have taken a look at the past of this article, dating back to its infancy in 2005 and found that the Japanese colonial architecture section was mostly, if not always, very biased - and seemingly written by those with anti-Japanese bias. Thankfully mentions of genocide has been removed (what it has to do with architecture, I will not know) but in its current shape and form the Colonial section is still biased and not backed with sources.
- If no one else replies, I will take it upon myself to do some research and possibly rewrite the section.
- To elaborate, I'd like to identify just some of the problems with this section of the article.
- 1. Lacks sources for virtually all of the text, except in 2 locations.
- 2. General flow issues (as if written by someone with English as a second language).
- 3. Unnecessary use of words that convey emotion such as ruthless.
- Additionally, this article faces many issues in general. For instance, this article has only 7 references, while a shorter article on Japanese Architecture features no less than 70. Even the article on Chinese Architecture, which really is only a summary of links to full articles, feature 14 references.
- Due to these issues I'd like to call for an expert to contribute to this article. At the least, it needs an overhaul and see the number of sources doubled or more.

- I'd hesitate to label content regarding Japanese colonial rule as anti-Japanese or biased, as a lot of horrible things did in fact happen during that time period. As far as architecture goes, palaces were razed (Gyeongbok and Changyeong palaces, notably - the Japanese General Government building was pretty infamous for having been built inside the Gyeongbok palace grounds), artifacts were stolen (e.g. the stone lion statuettes from Bulguksa), and so on. The facts exist, although one can't be certain how accurately they are represented in this article without proper citations.
- If emotionally charged text existed, it seems to be gone now, thankfully. The article as a whole is, however, still rather lacking in citations, so I think it would be appropriate to replace the disputed tag with a cleanup tag and attach a refimprove tag to the entire article.

Argh
[edit]It's so close. Detailed but poor sourcing... At least it'll be informative to people, but it's still not a "good" article. toobigtokale (talk) 00:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
Korean Empire architecture
[edit]Though it was a fairly short period, I feel like the 13 years of the Korean Empire warrant a mention, a period when Korea was modern but not under Japanese occupation. As of now, it goes from Joseon dynasty architecture directly to Japanese occupation architecture without the mention of the Korean Empire. I feel like there is enough architecture during the Korean Empire era (case in point, the Deoksugung) to warrant it it's own section, given that it's a fairly unique period in Korean history.
