Haeinsa Temple Janggyeong Panjeon ( The Depositories for the Tripitaka Koreana
Woodblocks)
 Haeinsa Temple is originated from the Tripitaka Koreana on Mount Gaya, which is made
of the 80,000 woodblocks that is made of complete collection of Buddhist texts.
 They used the Buddhist texts as a woodblock to portray the authority of Buddha from the
Mongol invasions and to provide a natural ventilation which helps to control the
temperature and humidity of the country and other climactic conditions, which has been
effective for over 500 years and was conserved from rodent and insect infestation.
 It is also discovered that the woodblocks are valuable and was carved of Chinese
characters, which means that it is made of a single hand.
 The architects help the Temple by means of preserving it by utilizing its nature and build
a storage complex.
 The storage complex was built 655 meters above the sea level at the highest point of the
temple to avoid being damp as the wind was blocked by the valley below and mountain
peaks.
 The architects installed windows in every single hallway using hydrodynamics principles
for its ventilation and temperature.
 The clay floor was made to maximize the humidity from rains as it could be used to
absorb the excess moisture as it is also filled with charcoal, salt, lime, sand, and calcium
oxide.
 The roof was also made of clay, bracketing, and wood rafter which they think could
prevent the sudden changes of temperature.
 The whole Storage complex was made with no part being exposed to sun which helps to
preserve it and survived fantastic condition to this day.

surrounding walls which the statues are being considered as a masterpiece of East Assian
Buddhist art.

animal designs. Bronzesmiths of Unified Silla produced temple bells, sharira boxes, and
Buddhist statues. Iron statues were used as bronze dwindled. One Buddhist painting
survives.
Jongmyo Shrine
 Outstanding examples of Confucian royal ancestral shrines can be found at Jongmyo

Shrine, which has been around since the 16th century and is still largely intact. Its
significance is increased by the fact that traditional ritual practices and forms, a
significant component of the intangible cultural heritage, are still practiced there.
 The property is surrounded by a forest, features a major ritual space, buildings, facilities,
and auxiliary structures, surrounded by a buffer zone.
 Jongmyo, the oldest Confucian royal ancestor shrine, is a symbolic building that
communicates the legitimacy of the royal dynasty. Built in the late 14th century, it was
destroyed in the 16th century by Japanese invasion and restored in the early 17th century.
 Jongmyo, a Confucian shrine, has two main shrines, Jeongjeon and Yeongnyeongjeon,
and features a wooden Mangmyoru, Gongmingdang, Hyangdaecheong, and Jaegung.
Built under royal supervision, it adheres to ancestral worship and ritual formalities, dating
back to the Joseon Dynasty.
 Korea's historical structures are primarily from the Joseon Dynasty which prioritize open
areas, graceful lines, and harmony with the environment, with larger buildings adopting
Chinese styles and lower-class homes using thatch and mud walls.
 Korean architecture is also favored with stone, wood, and paper over brick, with
dancheong patterns and white plaster walls in lower-class residences. It had modest
proportions and emphasized natural beauty over perfect symmetry in gardens and towns.
Amorepacific Headquarters ( Pritzker Architecture Prize 2023 winner David Chipperfield
Architects)
 The Pritzker Architecture Prize, the top accolade in architecture, has announced Sir
David Alan Chipperfield CH as the 2023 laureate. "Building structures able to last,
physically and culturally," while "embracing the preexisting, designing and
intervening in dialogue with time and place,"
 Amorepacific is considered as Korea's largest beauty company and it is located to
Seoul's Yongsan Park, near a high-rise building and a former US military zone,
marking a significant shift in the city's urban fabric.
 The building features a gestural, abstract design with a central courtyard for efficient
natural ventilation and illumination. Its surrounding area features three urban
openings, known as "hanging gardens," providing scale and allowing natural elements
to permeate the structure.
 The design integrates work and group activities to achieve the company's social,
cultural, and professional goals. Elevated façades open the city, while gardens and
courtyards serve as recreational areas. Public facilities like museums, theaters,
libraries, and childcare centers enhance the building's public image.
 The building's diaphanous brise-soleil coating improves its environmental
performance, providing shading and reducing heat load. Its coherent, strong, and open
form mirrors contemporary organization goals, fostering a dynamic character.
 Chipperfield's restorations of historic buildings preserve ecosystems and adapt to
climate change challenges. His architectural language balances design principles with
local culture, and his cuboid for Amore Pacific building encourages sharing.
 The judges said his "architectural language balances consistency with the
fundamental design principles and flexibility towards the local cultures." They added
that Chipperfield's works "help preserve and extend an eco-system into the coming
decades even in the face of the challenges of climate change."
