Abstract
This paper analyzes characteristics of architectural design of existing wooden architecture built in the 15th century, focusing on its joints and decorations of framing components and their positions. Representative buildings of the first and second half of the 15th century were considered respectively. This study focuses on interpreting architectural characteristics inherited or changed from the late Goryeo dynasty and those settled as main features of architectural design during the Joseon dynasty period and scrutinizing the rationale behind the emergence and transformation of these features. Two buildings discussed in this paper inherited and developed the traditional orders of two bracketing styles, the simple-bracketing style and the multi-bracketing style, while adopting each other’s trimming techniques and some decoration features. These transformations appeared in soeseo decoration techniques, roof structure supporting system, and integration of framing components. Also, their recessed canopies attested how the visual impression of the multi-bracketing style was dominant. On the other hand, buildings of the late 15th century display changes such as the expansion of soeseo-decorated parts and differentiation of the elevations or smaller sections through flexible utilization of original orders and the transformations appeared in two bracketing styles during the early 15th century. This transition period can be read as the preliminary phase of independent simple-bracketing style and multi-bracketing style being converged after the mid-Joseon dynasty period. These two bracketing styles began to be situated harmoniously within one whole boundary of the Joseon architecture, only being differentiated in its hierarchy.
