The Hanok contains the seasons. Hanok is a space in harmony with nature. It is a space with the sound of water, wind, landscape, and birds. If you enjoy the sound of book turning here, you can probably say, 'I thoroughly enjoyed this fall.' I did 'Fall Leaves, Reading' all at once. - We cannot hear the sounds of nature. - As of 2018, 91.8% of the population lives in cities. Can we hear the sounds of nature? Most of the population lives within the city, and the residential space is adjacent to the driveway. Open the window and let in the wind, but at the same time you can hear the sound of cars and construction sites at the same time. Wait, I think we should look into the lives of our ancestors long ago. - Can't we live in a hanok now? - Not true. There may be a clear gap with modern technology, but with a little tweaking, you will be able to live well. As such, a hanok is an 'architectural style' in which the environment is well-contained as an architectural space. In particular, 'Ondol' is a building system in preparation for winter, and the daecheong floor and eaves for summer. In addition, hanok is the culmination of technology that hides many details in preparation for the four seasons of Korea. In such a space, at the same time, the appreciation of the lyrical space may be superior to that of the current space. - In hanok, when it is hot in summer, all the bars are lifted. The eaves create a shadow, and the open space back and forth moves outside air and creates wind. And with those open windows, the noise of the city is not heard as it is now. You can hear the sounds of nature riding in the sunlight in the wide yard. Such is the case with hanok, which is closely related to the land. Looking at the layout of the hanok where nobles lived long ago in the village range, the better the hanok, the more it is located on a hill in the mountains. The reason can be interpreted by the social background at the time, but in the light of modern times, this is also in line with the concept of a 'penthouse'. height. high space. nice space. That's what our ancestors were on the hillside in the past. A little bit more natural. It is secluded here. Surrounded by forests, it is a pro-natural arrangement closer to the sound of nature rather than the sound of a marketplace. If you have been to Hahoe Village and Yangdong Village, you may be familiar with this story. - Gakseol, today's space is located on Inwangsan, a hill with clear clouds. If you go up the hill after passing through the literary center of poet Yun Dong-ju, you will see a hanok built in the mountains. Today's space has to go down stairs like this. As you try to move from the top of the hill to the hollow terrain, you will feel more secure and protected. And the moment your feet touch the ground. On the human scale, we are surrounded by nature. You can hear the trees rustling in the wind. A splendid hanok greets visitors with its eaves raised high in the corner and dignified appearance. - When entering a hanok, take off your shoes. A cool breeze blows through the open doors. All you can see are trees and sunlight, and all you can hear is the sounds of nature. There is the sound of water dripping from somewhere. Without realizing it, I move along with that refreshing sound. There is a small annex at the very back of the space. It is a space that is just right for 4 people to sit around the table, and water is dripping through the window. I put it in my bag and take out the book I've been reading whenever I have free time. Somehow, reading seems to work well here. - I read deeply without realizing that there were people waiting, so I had to come back. It was only a few minutes, but it was a very refreshing time. The wind blows and the scenery resonates. I looked up and looked down at the sunlight, and there is a basement in a hanok. - Out of curiosity, there is a modern space in the underground space I went down to. Instead, 'Courtyard' and 'Bamboo Garden' considered vertical connection with hanok. This is a library oriented towards Korean literature. Although it is a small space, the library contains a variety of atmospheres, and a moderate number of people who have chosen a space according to their taste are enjoying reading. The sound of bamboo is heard through the open garden door. - You can hear the sounds of nature continuously in this space. - Here we can hear the sounds of nature. - This is #Cheongwoon Literature Library located in Inwangsan Mountain, Jongno-gu. - Location _ 40, Jahamun-ro 36-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Parking _ Available [Narrow] - Opening hours _ 10-22 [Monday closed] - PS.
