During the period of the Japanese Empire, many cultural artifacts and ancient books were taken from Korea, and Japan has yet to return them to Korea. Unlike the British Museum in the UK, which displays such artifacts, Japan keeps them hidden away in storage, showing them to no one. This secrecy leaves us unaware of how much Korean culture Japan has appropriated and rebranded as its own to present to the world. Even the ceramics, such as tea cups and dishes that Japan popularized in Europe, trace their origins back to Korean ceramic techniques

I get that a lot of Asian cities strive for the "tradition mixed with modernity" (imagine "moduuuhnhity " said with an exaggerated British accent) motif as a way to put up a progressive facade, but I really started hating this architectural style when Saudi Arabia put up that atrocious clock tower in Mecca - that just brought it to a whole new unnecessary level of kitsch. Now having a Hanok with contemporary elements is the right way to do it. I just hope Korean cities start building more in their traditional architecture rather than just putting up absurd modern architecture because that's supposed to be high-brow.

There's a long historical background why Korea, with its thousands of years of history, seems to have popped up out of nowhere in the 21st century. Firstly, from ancient times until the Middle Ages, trade and exchange between the West and the East required the use of the Silk Road, which was monopolised by China and China blocked access to Korea. The English name Korea is derived from the Islamic transliteration of the country's name at the time, Goryeo, which was used by Muslim merchants trading by sea with the Korean peninsula around the 12th century. This meant that the West had no access to Korea except by rough sea, except via the Silk Road, which was monopolised by China. Secondly, in 1543 a Portuguese merchant ship bound for China ran aground in Japan, marking the first direct contact between the West and Japan. This gave the Japanese access to muskets, and the introduction of this new weapon technology eventually led to the Imjin War, an invasion of Korea by Japan. It was also around this time that the Lead-silver separation method leaked from the Korean peninsula to Japan, which Japan used this method to become the third largest producer of silver in the world. Its vast silver production allowed Japan to greatly increase its power by trading with the West, which was eager for trade during the Age of Sail. Of course, even during this era, China and Japan blocked direct Western access to the Korean Peninsula. If the 20th century was a period of recovery for South Korea from the devastation of Japanese occupation and the ashes of the Korean War. It wasn't until the 21st century internet age, when people could easily access news and culture from other countries without having to travel by land or sea, that Korea was finally started to step out of the shadows of China and Japan and able to show the world the cultural soil it had been building for thousands of years. So that's why you feel like all the K-things is suddenly coming out these days. Finally, Every time you explore in Korean culture, you will see endless denigration of Korean culture by Chinese and Japanese nationalists who want to push Korea back into the shadows.

[@noclipmod]

⁠ Japan's ancient history has been copied directly from the history of the Korean Peninsula. Todai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan was built by Korean carpenters, and the Horyu-ji Temple was also built by Baekje people. The basic history of Japan was established by Koreans, and the Japanese developed their own with Korean design aesthetics.Without the role of Koreans, Japan would not exist today.

[@user_20s1kz22xf]

Where's 'harmonization with surroundings' in Korea??? there's only apartment dystopia

[@iamsheep]

That's not true. The Korean buildings were all copies of Chinese buildings from the Tang and Song dynasties, which were much more minimalistic in style. The palaces of Kyoto and Nara were scale replicas of palaces from the Tang era. The reason you believe there is a difference is those buildings in China were all destroyed or renovated into the later styles of Ming and Qing dynasties. Remember Asian palaces are made mostly of wood, so they need to constantly maintained to last 1000 years. You can search for "Daming Palace" during the Tang dynasty to see how it is similar in style to Korean ones. The palace itself is gone, but main paintings from the era exist showing what it looked like. The other reason the Japanese and Koreans don't have the more decorative architecture of the Chinese from say the Ming dynasty is because they couldn't make them. The craftsmen were from China and during the Ming, they started to be closed off and didn't allow things to be exported. In ancient times, complexity was seen as the highest form of art and craftsmanship. Times have changed and our current tastes have changed to prefer more minimalistic and simple designs, instead of those that expressed wealth and complexity.

Since ancient times, the civilized countries of East Asia were China and the Korean Peninsula, and the only Asians who could make porcelain, an ancient semiconductor, were the Chinese, Koreans. Since China has been conquered by foreign peoples for over 3,000 years, it is unclear how much of China's history is Chinese, but the Han, Song, and Ming dynasties can be clearly seen as Chinese history. Ancient India, unlike today, had hundreds of kingdoms divided into, but it was definitely a civilized region that spread Buddhism, and Thailand and Cambodia were also centralized civilized countries ruled by kings. Although Japan received advanced civilization from the Korean Peninsula and China, Japan was an isolated island that had not been exposed to continental civilization until the 1400s, and when Portugal and Spain opened their ports, it was able to absorb Western civilization and awaken, and using that power, it invaded the Korean Peninsula, which had been a leading country for generations, and even dreamed of conquering China and India. I think the rapid changes in GDP of S.Korea's the process of countries that had been wealthy civilized countries since ancient times but temporarily became impoverished after experiencing colonies and wars regaining their original positions.

Very little architecture in China is of world class design quality. Most of the architecture that pushes boundaries is designed by foreigners.

I'm curious to know what the authentic South Korean culture is. Does KPOP play a role in your culture?

[@kfx3907]

@@RachelAdam-h1h KPOP is not only about idols so there are quite many genres in there😅.. But i would say Korean musics in general indeed play a role in our culture but also the foods and many other things just like any other countries.

I wish Korea has much more Hanok like Japan, could reserve their old architecture. But Korea has lost so many traditional house through frequent attacks from outside and war.

The hateful and hostile comments from Korean history to the present day are heartbreaking.

[@davieee1168]

It's really pretty but I think Korean architecture wouldn't work in Western countries. To put this in baby terms, I feel like like it all looks like 'Samsung' design? Modern but a bit different. On the other side, 'Apple and iphone' design embraces western design values: Modernism, Bauhaus, Helvetica. Which is what is popular since decades in the West.

Isn’t it great how internet-doco’s tend to say the same thing over and over again? In the old days, doco narration would say something only once, but that isn’t a problem anymore. Thanks to innovative technology (chatGPT) cheeply produced internet docos can create content filled with lots of banal ways of saying the same thing over and again (but with slight variation, so that’s ok). Because when you spend 3 mins saying exactly the same thing over and over again (with lots of stock footage overlaid) it really gets the message across, while the subject might possibly be interesting, we are going to explore every other possibility available. Maybe we might stumble into ‘interesting’… but probably not.

Lt. Rhee Jhoon founded martial arts in USA. At age 80 he demonstrated 100 pushups in 50 seconds and splits with his head touching the floor. He DEMONSTRATED youthfulness in front of reporters. Was it Korean traditional diet? "The Longevity Paradox..." By heart surgeon and scientist Gundry hypothesizes youthfulness and longevity flow from fermented foods. Check the facts and the science so South Korea may export youthfulness and longevity. Fact checking: When I lived in Seoul there was no obesity and the beauty of Korean women has been famous for centuries. BTW Why don't you help us commercialize 340,000 kilometers of Canadian coastline and a forest up to 5,000 kilometers east-west and 1,000 kilometers north-south. All the engineered timber you need to build entire nations. Talk to us about CPTPP or mutually beneficial arrangements...

The characteristic of Korean design is its emphasis on bold lines and large contours, evident in everything from clothing to cars to buildings. At first glance, it’s quite striking, but after a while, it can feel monotonous.

@business, this is really not understanding the industry AT ALL. Unfortunately, architecture and spatial design is very slow. It has a delay of 5-10 years over the finalised design (ie, the aesthetics of it). All the mentioned characteristics are present in all top tier architectural design countries (Spain, Netherlands, Japan). _Korean architecture reflects a mindful blend of tradition and nature: As do all the rest of architectural practices around the world. _Korean architecture embraces tradition with modern technology. That has been proven to be a BIG mistake: technology DIMINISHES value of real estate, on average a 10% of the total real estate value. _ Korean architecture emphasizes harmony and balance with nature and people: As do all the rest of the architectural practices that are given the chance to do so. _ Korean architects blend modernity with tradition in creating spaces for current lifestyle: As do all the rest of the architectural practices that are given the chance to do so _ Korean architecture reflects cultural identity through flexible and communal spaces: As do all the rest of the architectural practices that are given the chance to do so _ Korea's architecture reflects its diverse history and evolving influences: As do all the rest of the architectural practices that are given the chance to do so _Korean architecture fosters togetherness and individuality: As do all the rest of the architectural practices that are given the chance to do so This is a VERY BAD video. More of an infomercial, to be honest. It shows that Korean architecture is WELL BEHIND THE CURVE, to be honest. And fostering international architecture adoption (it has taken China 25 years to have a world mid tier architectural practice recognized, MAD architects) is not as fast as exporting cars or exporting visual culture.
