AC06h. Hanok – Evolution of Korean traditional housing culture (5 hour tour)
Hanok is a form of residential architecture built with the goal of achieving harmony with nature while only using traditional Korean technology and style. It has distinctive spatial elements such as Ondol, floor, kitchen, and its space is planned and composed in a way that conforms to nature. In recent years, efforts to modernize the Hanok have continued as the issue of ‘conservation of traditional architecture’ and ‘eco-friendly architecture’ has emerged.
