The last religious architecture series was Guinsa Temple in Danyang, the headquarters of the Cheontae Order of Korean Buddhism.
The picture is of Daejeon Sanseong Church, and the bell on the bell tower is impressive.
Religious architecture series to be introduced today is located in Sejong City Korean Methodist Church Daejeon & Sejong Sanseong Church Sejong Chapel (Sejong Temple, Sejong Campus) am.
Daejeon Sejong Sanseong Church is an individual church with two or more branches. It is said that a new chapel was built this time to accommodate believers in Sejong City.
However, this is the work of Professor Hyeonjun Yoo that has recently emerged as an issue. Let’s take a look at the photos to find out what aesthetic elements there are.
I think it also won an international architecture award.
It is beautiful compared to the mass-produced glass palace (curtain wall) new city chapel construction.
It appears to be a chapel that was redeveloped and rebuilt between the Matchbox apartments, but what is unique is that the front part is transparent.
Was it created to emphasize that it is a transparent church?
As the light passes through, the cross pattern is reflected on the stairs leading to the second floor. I think this was intentional as well.
Looking at the entrance, there are ugly sidewalk blocks, which are very aesthetically disappointing. It doesn't match the church building at all.
The path leading inside and the entrance to the first floor are transparent, giving the feeling that anyone can see and enter. (Advantage to missions and evangelization)
The sunset or night time has its own charm.
A decent new town chapel that fits well with the urban atmosphere.
Perhaps the building owners wanted this feeling.
There seem to be many positive reviews saying that the front panel reflects light and is beautiful. (In an article in a Protestant newspaper, it appears that a passing shaman also gave a favorable review)
The interior of the chapel seems ordinary, but the light, nature, and brick cross that gives off an obelisk-like feel are impressive.
The attractive point seems to be that it can create an impressive presentation for believers who receive Holy Communion around noon on Sunday morning.
Next Religious Architecture Series The architecture to be discussed is to maintain religious balance.
It is located between Seoul City Hall, the British Embassy in Korea, Deoksugung Palace, and the Seoul City Council. This is the Seoul Episcopal Cathedral of the Anglican Church of Korea (Seoul Cathedral).
-> Next, we will deal with Geumsan Church (Presbyterian Church of Korea), Dudong Church and Jacheon Church (Presbyterian Church of Korea), and Ganghwa Cathedral (Anglican Church) in that order.
After covering some Christian architecture, I will cover a lot of Cheondogyo, Buddhism, etc.
However, in order to ensure a balance between denominations, we need to introduce the architecture of the Baptist Church, but I wonder if we can just introduce the Gangnam Baptist Church.
If anyone knows of a church with traditional Baptist church architecture rather than a curtain wall, please let us know in the comments.
This is because from now on, Catholic and Orthodox architecture must be treated with the utmost respect... (Myeongdong Cathedral, monasteries, Orthodox St. Nicholas Cathedral or Jeonju Cathedral of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, etc.)
If that doesn't work, I think I'll have to bring something decent from the missionary's house in the late Joseon Dynasty or the mission school chapel (chapel, chapel).
