Daebang Hall of Heungguksa Temple, Goyang

Daebang, a large multi-purpose hall, of Heungguksa Temple is a uniquely configured composite hall reflecting the conditions of the modern period, when the Pure Land chanting tradition flourished widely. It combines a space for chanting practice with ancillary spaces such as a pavilion, monks' quarters and a kitchen, and is arranged so that chanting practice is carried out with the Daeungjeon Hall serving as both the actual and symbolic Buddhist altar. Departing from existing traditional methods, it shows the emergence of a composite and functional modern architecture, embodying not only historical value but also a distinctive architectural form, spatial composition and the spirit of its age.
