| dc.description.abstract | Early Western architecture generally refers to buildings shaped by Western influences built during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when Korea opened its doors to the West and confronted Western culture for the first time. Compared to traditional Korean architecture, early Western architecture is not yet fully accepted as a part of Korean culture, partly because of its bad association with the colonial period, 1910-1945. However, this architecture represents characteristics of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Korean society. To understand the development of modern Korea, early Western architecture deserves more attention. This thesis can be regarded as a preliminary proposal for a new national register system which advocates the preservation of early Western buildings in Seoul, Korea. This proposed new national register system is coupled with analysis and suggestions for legislation, administration, implementation, and incentives of the existing register system. The thesis, which focuses on the preservation of early Western buildings, can be directed toward the preservation of other significant cultural properties of the modern era and recent Korean history. The role of the private sector in preservation and structure of preservation education that produces future preservationists should be further investigated. | en_US |
