The natural environment control system of Korean traditional architecture: Comparison with Korean contemporary architecture

Modern architecture does not have the capacity to control its environment without resorting to methods involving high energy consumption, and these have caused many environmental problems. Architecture needs to recover its capacity to control its environment in an environmentally sustainable manner. Korean architecture has developed systems to control its environment in an environmentally sustainable manner from longstanding experience. This study examines methods used to control the architectural environment in Korean traditional architecture and compares them with Korean contemporary architecture.
