Rethinking the Proportional Design Principles of Timber-Framed Buddhist Buildings in the Goryeo Era

This study examines how the wooden architecture of the Goryeo Dynasty in Korea evolved in an original way while incorporating Chinese architectural principles. For the Goryeo Era’s timber-framed buildings, eave purlin height was determined according to √2H times the eave column height (H), while the...
