There are several places you could see the place in where they had lived. Through those places you could estimate how Koreans had been living in the past.
Among those places, Seongbuk Dong is very excellent place you can visit easily. There is not far from the downtown. Besides there are plenty of restaurants of the locals’ favorite.
In this posting, I’d like to introduce you the traditional house of famous writer.
This house had been estimated to be built early 1900 years.
It shows the traditional architecture of the novel family.
This house have been preserved well, and it turned into the traditional tea caffe.
I dropped by this house with my younger brother.
He is half specialist on the traditional culture in Korea.
He recommended me to stop by.
At the entrance, it was something special. The gate was so beautiful. It showed the beauty of the traditional view of point. In Choson dynasty, even the novels could not built the extravagancy architecture.
The name of this house is Soo Yeon San Bang.
In Choson Dynasty each house has had it's own name.
The novels needed to enjoy the moderate beauty. The luxury house could be blamed.
In this respect the writer’s house would be believed as the representative architecture of early 1900 years.
As passing through the main gate, you can not see the main building directly. The road to from the gate to the main building was not straight, it was bend over. Indirectness is a key concept of the traditional architecture in Korea. You could notice this tendency of indirectness in Buddhist temple. I hope to explain this concept of Buddhist architecture next chance.
So you could see the side of the main house , when entering into the house.
In front of the main building, there is a small garden. The Garden in Korean Architecture is nature friendly style. In Japan, the garden is apt to be artificial than Korean.
The one characteristic of the novel’s architecture is the pavilion. The paivilion had played very important role in the past. The novels had used to enjoy the poem and the brush writings together in the pavilion.
So for the novels, the pavilion was very important to show their level of the culture.
We sat in the room and ordered tea. I took some photos of inside
There were windows having interesting patterns.
I hope you to understand the korean traditional architecture with this posting.

Thank you for sharing this @slowwalker, it is very interesting to see how this house of famous writers has transitioned in to a traditional tea cafe - it's always great to see historical places being used like this.
I am fascinated by Korean (and most of Asia's) architecture - having studied engineering, and having worked in modelling structures too, I have always had an interest in architecture. Thank you again for sharing this excellent piece.
I thought that I would let you know that I have just started a project called the "Steemit Success Initiative". It is a project that aims at growing Steemit, growing the amount of daily active users on the platform, and of course helping beginners grow. This is how we plan to do it:
We run advertising campaigns for Steemit that are done professionally.
We provide a guide for all Steemit beginners on How To succeed on Steemit (putting this together by talking to many successful Steemians about how they became successful).
Provide a manual curation service for 5-10 undervalued posts per day
Provide a bank of free graphics for all members of our incubator, and once a month give 1-2 Steemians access to a graphic designer for free. I already have a Graphic designer on board for this.
I am currently seeking delegating Steem Power in order to increase the value of the project's vote on beginner's posts, as well as seeking feedback on how to improve the project. I would really appreciate any support that you can give, and I am happy to tell you more about the Steemit Success Initiative. I have some presentations done, as well as a recent post on my page which explains it in more detail.
Thanks again for the great post!

@slowwalker I am inviting you to Pakistan and specially to my city Larkana. We have an archaeological site near to Larkana Sindh Pakistan. A few days ago i visited it. Today i have posted few images of that. If you are in asia then must visit it. Thanks
Always fascinating to learn about different cultures especially things like this :)
Beautiful Pictures and I like the designs of the architecture. It would be nice to see a contrast of what a newly built property in Korea looks like versus this 1900 century property.
great ..

your photography is very beautiful and you know how to and when to capture. This post is very informative. Thank you for taking us all to this magistic tour.
Hi slowwalker. This is very beautiful place. You visited this place. Thanks for sharing.
Wow this is superb and quality in Korean. But my question is, did you pay for this before they allow you to enter those houses?
Please in last post when you visit kang kyeong city, what is the name of this museum? Thanks
Really nice write up @slowwalker. Thanks a lot. Interesting to see the difference between Japanese and Korean architecture. I learnt a lot. Keep up the good work and travel safe :)
I wish to have a chance to study comparative architectures between Korea and Japan
It looks rather pretty in the snow.
Lol
Thank you for introducing Korean culture.
WOW this is best example to use unused place.
I think so
I can't believe the house is estimated to be built since 1900 but it's still this artful
I love the view of it
Thank you for dropping by
Beautiful architecture. In my own opinion, I think Asian countries have one of the best architectural designs for buildings..
Even when old, they still look amazingly beautiful.
Thanks @slowwalker
Hahaha
Each country has it’s own architecture which is the best in their circumstances
Hope I can travel there soon
