Borrowing landscape of Joseon architecture

[kenny]

Borrowing landscape is “technique to create a landscape that is harmonized between the surrounding landscape and the building by bringing the surrounding landscape into its inside.”

In Joseon, people thought that it is important to build structures that harmonize with surrounding landscape when seen from inside. The landscape seen from inside is called “the borrowing landscape”.

Many believe that the Geunjeongjeon is most beautiful when viewed at 45 degrees from the left. From the left side, you will see the curving lines of roof ridge and the mountain ridge behind the buildings. It’s perfect harmony between the nature and architecture.

From here, we can take in entire view of palace buildings with Bukaksan mountain in the background.
