The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the architectural characteristics of Catholic cathedral Hanok distributed in Jeollabuk-do and seek sustainable utilization in modern society.
Jeollabuk-do is an area where the religion has spread since the early days of Catholic missionary work in Korea, and wooden hanok-type cathedrals such as Wanju Dewjae Cathedral, Jinan Eoeun Gongso, Jangsu Waterworks, and Jeongeup Shinsung Gongso exist.
These buildings are a compromise between the spatial composition of Western religious architecture and the structure and material techniques of traditional Korean wooden architecture, showing the process of indigenousization of Korean Catholic architecture.
Catholic Catholic churches have important architectural and cultural values as a central space for local communities, and wooden architectural Catholic churches, in particular, have formed their own spatial beauty through structural characteristics and traditional architectural techniques using natural materials.
As a research method, a literature survey and case analysis were conducted in parallel to analyze the flat composition, structural system, material characteristics, and spatial directing techniques of Catholic wooden architectural churches at home and abroad. Through this, it was confirmed that the variability and eco-friendliness of the wood structure, the sense of space on a human scale, and natural lighting and sound characteristics were closely related to religious behavior. In addition, it was intended to reveal that architectural styles have been changed in various ways according to the climatic and cultural context of the region.
In addition, this study suggests the possibility of expanding into a cultural, educational, and community space while maintaining the function of a worship space in terms of preservation and utilization of the existing cathedral. This is significant in proposing a sustainable utilization model for wooden Catholic churches in the direction of harmonizing the preservation of historical values and modern needs. The results of this study can be used as basic data for future religious architecture preservation and regeneration plans.
