**2.4 Experience of housing in Korea "HANOK"**

A "HANOK" is a traditional house using traditional Korean architecture. It is a traditional house of the Joseon Dynasty that reflects the ideal of building with the mountain facing the back and facing the water in the south. It is a traditional house of the "JOSEON DYNASTY".The origin of "HANOK" is a hut in the early Neolithic period around 6,000 BC, and it is considered that traditional "HANOK" was completed in the late Joseon period [42]. During this period, the ondol, floor, and kitchen, which are the basic units of space composition, were wholly combined to form a close relationship with each yard, and "HANOK" was differentiated into various regional types.

It has various characteristics that have been developed according to the environment of the Korean Peninsula and the traditional food, clothing, and shelter patterns of Koreans, and although the wooden structure tiled house in the photos is often thought of, thatched houses made of rice straw and ocher also fall within the scope of "HANOK". In modern Korea, the number has decreased due to Westernstyle buildings, but it continues to exist through the construction of temples. There is a theory that the word "HANOK" itself was derived from the opening of the door in the late Han Dynasty and modernization after liberation and the rapid spread of 'western-style houses', which is a contrasting meaning to traditional houses called 'HANOK' [43]. From a foreigner's point of view, it refers to a house in which the Koreans living on the Korean Peninsula live (see **Figure 11**). Originally, "HANOK" itself was a form of residence, so today, it was called "JUJU" and "JETAEK" as if it were just a house. It would have been divided into tile-tiled houses and thatchedroof houses as if they were divided into houses. The essential materials are the window and square that connect the front and rear columns in a straight line, the beam that connects the front and rear columns back and forth, and the rafters and the ribs that support them. When you think of "HANOK". that you can see often, you think of a "HANOK" house with an octagonal roof.
