Concept

my concept is to create a clip that shows the formative beauty and spiritual values behind Korean architecture.

As Korean's wooden architecture developed under strong influence from the Chinese, it can be observed not only on architecture but also other fields of culture centering around Buddhism. However, gradually, architecture harmonized with the taste and climate of Korean ancestors came into being; an architectural style which was distinctively Korean developed with their unique sense of beauty. Unfortunately, after the Japanese invasion, many buildings were reduced to ashes.Wooden structures which remains in their country show features which are typically Korean, different from that of Chinese or Japanese buildings. The Korean buildings are different form Chinese buildings which, ignore the surroundings, showing off their pompous dignity and boast unbalanced and false proportions which tend to press the viewers to suffocation. They are also different from Japanese buildings, which lost the original function and beauty of composition required of architecture as a result of too much standardization of parts and became degraded into insipid and academic structure. Despite their shortage of precision in minute of lumber, the Korean buildings form a complete whole with the surroundings.
