Houses that Breathe, Hanok [The Wonders of Korea 2 / 2016.10.21]

[@yeyo9404]

Korean culture is so inspiring and innovative and interesting I love it

[@geminatesource1891]

OMG Peter's accent is amazing. Also Hanoks rock, a few of my family and friends in korea live in them. Building one in the states is one of my dreams.

[@dudadeda1234]

You only can do it off grid. No counties in US will ever let you deviate from their matchbox building codes.

[@Fektthis]

@@dudadeda1234 building codes are not written in stone. if you can get an engineer to sign off on the plans and say it's structurally sound then you shouldn't have any issues. The biggest issue would be what is the climate you plan to build it in. There is a reason that you see a lot of adobe style clay houses in the south west but not in the north east. As much as I would love a house like this, I don't see it lasting long where I live in Ohio. Nature would decide to not live in harmony with it and destroy it.

[@philkwon81]

@@Fektthis the climate in korea is very similar to the US, especially the midwest. winters in south korea are just as brutal as the winters here in michigan (38 years here). you'd be surprised at how efficient hanok are in the winter. and the cold air circulation actually helps with respiratory infections and illness.

[@黃少文-j4k]

They really shot the process of building the heating system, how incredible!

diversity /multiculturalism will turn far east into another Europe---being USED, TORN and BROKEN.

[@sharonkeith601]

All of my life I have had dreams of this type of living but never knew that it existed! The ondol makes such good sense! It's the sensation of lying on a warm beach with a cool wind crossing your body, creating a blissful peace around you. And, scene....

[@sharonkeith601]

I want my own Hanok!

[@noseefood1943]

hate to burst your bubbles, but hanok in summer you need mosquito nets and insect repellent incense, in winter, stoking the under ondol hearth is a hassle when outside temp is -10C. - i stayed in hanoks in my youth.

[@heavenhaven7254]

yes it maybe not so convenient to set a fire, but I still missed the authenticitic, ecological, genius, healthy living !

[@mikek1635]

heaven haven I lived in hanok for 4 years. It was great! Living in hanok in nature is something that has to be experienced. It's only spoiled city Koreans who complain about hanok.

[@heavenhaven7254]

lol;;; .. so true. I missed the hanok lifestyle in countryside especially smell of making fire with dried rice straws and clay rustic natural smell... My dream to smell that again... !

[@modoo_happy]

The current hanok is a place where only rich people could live in in the past. In the past, ordinary people used to build houses made of straws.

[@delmont2793]

yes. but it was all same throughout the world in the past.

[@여니-f8t]

Hanok is a traditional architectural style that represents Korea. Tile and ondol highlight the scientific design that cannot be found in other countries. If you look closely at hanok, you can see that it is a building that can live in harmony with nature. It is a beautiful building where you can feel the beauty and culture of Korea and get a glimpse of the ancestors.

[@csg2601]

Being a fan of korean culture and an interior design student, this video was so interesting to wacth. Hanoks are so well made and are so beautiful and peaceful. I wish I could renovate one some day, but living in Spain..... not likely xd

[@jonctmaga1486]

Soil rocks woods Hanji (Korean papers) Maybe you feel peaceful.

[@philkwon81]

they have to be built corredtly, though. poorly built hanok and ondol can cause carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide poisoning. my mom had to deal with this growing up in rural south korea. i live in the US now, and want to build a modern home that is inspired by hanok. it will have clay heated floors and clay mudding in the living quarters for sure.

[@Ch-ch-ch-chia]

At this point, Peter is Korean. Expression and accent. When you can feel in that language, its real. But these house are ❤❤❤❤

[@paullee9160]

we consider who understand and live the daily nuances to be korean. we have a saying, "you have finished becoming a korean"

[@christiena3318]

Peter is a white man, he is not Korean

[@Ch-ch-ch-chia]

@@christiena3318 I mean of course. Im talking about Nationality and not ethnicity.

[@catgrrrl6302]

It would be so wonderful to visit Korea and stay in a hanok!

[@premiumdoorgift5051]

Very good documentary! I can put "staying in Hanok" in my wishlist when I visit Korea. Good work guys..

[@rosesantiago-lee2051]

Actually Only Rich people here in korea who want to live in a natural and traditional hanok can build a 100sq meter hanok with court yard,why? Because building a hanok is actually EXPENSIVE than building a western style house... the needed wood especially pine trees is actually so expensive here.. korea actually import woods from eastern europe, canada and russia.. for 100sq meters hanok, you need minimum amount of 600,000,000₩on for bungalow 5type only..

[@tufluxed3293]

pegan farm well said

[@HS-sr9ww]

@pegan farm i know what you mean, and we need to keep our legacy but we have already taken by Chinese! what a shame. focking china wants to take over my country. There is no hope at all when the democratic party hold the this nation. That's why i am about to leave this shitty country soon before change to communist country.

[@I2345-t9e]

@pegan farm I can agree that islamism is bad, only because it is what radical ideological fanatics are doing by forcing and harming other people. Not what normal human beings, including muslims, are doing. But I don’t understand what that has to do with mosques? It’s not like you have to visit them. And I cannot agree with an anti multicultural lifestyle. Because without it I would have never been able to discover my love for so many aspects of the Korean culture. Preserving history, keeping records to display, and keeping traditions that are distinct for a certain population is wonderful snd soo important! Because variety and uniqueness are great. But since the beginning of human existence, exchanging knowledge, cultures and influencing each other has always happened. No country today would be able to exist the way they are now without it. Even Korea hasn’t always been just one country. And isn’t it fascinating how often neighboring countries have been inspired by korean ideas and made a new thing out of it? Or vice versa, how Korea has been inspired by ideas of other places and made their own unique version of it? I think that what’s happening today is no different. No matter how many influences from other cultures may come to Korea, Korea will always adapt it into something uniquely their own. Same for all other cultures. Because every country has different living conditions to adapt to. And hello? We are no longer in the colonial era! Invasions used to happen a lot around the world in premodern era. Every bit of South, Middle and North America has been born from Europeans invading the local societies, forcing them into labour, oppressing their culture and wiping out entirely an enormous variety of cultures. And that is tragic. Equally as tragic were all the times the Korean Peninsula had been invaded. Both are inexcusable and cannot ever be undone. And I very much condemn nations that try to pretend like they were not responsible for their crimes. But there is no way that will repeat today. The people who did that are mostly not even alive anymore. I am German. But I wasn’t even born yet when the war happened and no way would I ever wanna conquer the whole world like the nazi regime did.

[@I2345-t9e]

@pegan farm How would you know what religion I follow, if I follow one at all (Spolier: I am an atheist, so yeah no)? I have no idea what exact ethnicity, never cared about that... There are so many out there. Well I’m from Germany, so I’m German I guess.

[@I2345-t9e]

@vitalviews views That does not change the fact that with that logic, no country in the world is really original. Because they have never developed completely separately. Hanok like we know them today haven’t been born only from no foreign influence either. And still they are THE traditional Korean architectur “everyone wants to see”, as you say.

[@nicolettaciccone8869]

Korea and Japan my favourite countries! I love everything there from their cuisine to the houses.💚

[@emilyx5182]

I really want live in one or experience living in one for couple months. This video/documentary needs more views

[@SomeSomaek]

Assuming you don’t live in Korea already, I’d recommend to pick your timing carefully and opting for late summer or autumn: despite what’s been said in the video, it can actually be uncomfortable during cold winters or hot summers in Korea. I also wouldn’t recommend spring as the air pollution tend to be too high. Choose your location wisely too, hanoks are not the best at keeping the noise out, but obviously you also don’t want to stay in a remote area if you are a woman travelling by herself. Best of luck on your adventure, hope you’ll have a great time!

[@teejah7785]

beautiful!!!

Aw so beautiful thanks for sharing

if you really love us, don't destroy us by coming here, thanks

[@avalonjustin]

Wow Hanok are so beautiful.

[@wendybabbi]

i love the design and construction of honok, is it beautiful n meaningful, but the space is maybe too much for me, in Australia i can not live one day without the window, cuz there are just tooo many insects and spiders.......

[@juliafried4756]

Hanok, une beauté exceptionnelle, je suis ensorcelée.

[@aaliyah2067]

[@RomyIlano]

It’s so beautiful !

[@tinadreamtheater]

I like this home traditional hanok❤️

[@gohazard4284]

Rest in peace Peter :(

[@SkiWonify]

Looking forward to more episodes in this series!!

[@teresajenkins9056]

I think living in a Hanok also cleared their son's skin...and I agree with the monk who think Ondol is the heart of the Hanok...plus I would all the monks there for their prayers to ensure my Ondol was constructed correctly...I could never make out what the flooring was in a Hanok...until they said red clayplaster...even with the doors open summer is awful due to the humity...

[@바보Queen]

wow so the hanok is like the japanese architecture where they dont use a single nail.. yet its strong enough to last hundreds of years

[@forrestkim3718]

온돌 아궁이 불을 때면 불길이 아직 차가운 온돌 통로 속으로 빨려들어가는 이유는 열은 차가운 곳으로 이동하는 물리적 현상 때문 입니다. 그리고 굴뚝으로 더운 공기가 위로 상승하는 원리 또한 마찬가지 원리 때문 입니다. 아궁이와 굴뚝으로 향하는 온돌 통로가 약간은 경사지게 하면 그만큼 열기가 상승하며 열기의 순환 흐름을 돕지 않을까요 ?

[@geminatesource1891]

Also, the only time ondols suck is when you pass out on one after drinking 7 bottles of soju. I woke up feeling like death.

[@DomenicaJosefina]

Ugh the beauty that REALLY sticks out to me as an american, is that our country is about as old as one of these buildings LOL

Love. They should not abandon cultural ways of building human-centric houses. Unfortunately for us, we embraced totall and completely the western cement architecture in Africa which does not work for homes.

It is the Hanok's fengshui that cure the son's condition.

[@sjjj3564]

It’s materials the Hanok built with like natural timber, clay, stone and hanji (paper for window), of cause we looked for good 풍수지리 (fengshui) for location to build a house in general.

[@savantianprince]

Has a hanock house survived earthquakes? If so, is there a science for that too.

[@tufluxed3293]

Kim Lowe the foundations are wooden poles on rocks that move with the ground almost when there is an earthquake.

[@sahngseoklee6943]

It's a flexible architecture so it can withstand earthquakes to some extent, however, what matters is the roof. The roof with ceramic tiles is so heavy that it can collapse when the earthquake's very strong.

[@jonctmaga1486]

Kim r u Korean? Ever seen hanok? Ever been to Korea? ㅎ

[@savantianprince]

@@jonctmaga1486 no I have never been to korea

[@AnxiousCowboy]

is the red clay they use just straight clay? do they add any sand or lime?

[@kanyonhagg3812]

I’m wanting to build a hanok in America. Specifically I live in Missouri. Does anyone have advice for how to go about it? I’m having a hard time finding anyone that builds these. If I were to build it myself(I have a background in construction, mostly drywall but I have learned a lot by working around others) I can’t seem to find the roof tiles for sale anywhere. It will be modern, stucco on the exterior, probably drywall on the interior(where it’s needed). If anyone has any advice or information, please let me know! Thanks

[@JirkaDobrodej31]

Someone who knows how to build it in Europe?Thx.

[@jonctmaga1486]

Invite a hanok master or hanok company.

[@paullangford8179]

Ondo is NOT "the world's only floor heating system" The Romans had the hypocaust, and a similar system is used in various places wh cold winters. The acronym UFHC is well-established worldwide. For example, my "summerhouse" in London has a system of pipes in the concrete floor that hooks up to the combi-boiler for the house, and was put together using standard, readily-available components.

[@rosesantiago-lee2051]

Ondol(floor heating system) practiced in korea 5,000 of years ago up until now..

Anyone know the name of the background music starting at 9:10 ?

[@CountessCulhame]

The melody is definitely the same as "When I survey the wondrous cross", so it is maybe a Korean trad. instrument version?

[@HeldInAbeyance]

I know this is old, but it definitely reminded me of the melody of The Water Is Wide! It's a great song~

[@joshuawong9157]

Of course it's desirable. It's rich people's housing.
