Gwiraejeong Pavilion, Gyeongju

Gwiraejeong Pavilion, Gyeongju, is valued as an important source for studying the structural techniques of traditional architecture. This is seen in the skilful division of its hexagonal floor plan into a wooden-floored hall, an ondol (underfloor-heated) room and built-in cupboards; the harmonious use of round and square columns together; the way differences in floor height were used to link the interior naturally with the outside space; and the distinctive timber-frame joinery method used to fit a hipped-and-gabled roof onto a hexagonal plan.
