Korea directed all its energy into successful national modernization with a sense of mission and accurate historical awareness around the 1970s to lay the foundation for self-reliant defense and economy. The first and second economic development policies contributed to an increase in export and industrialization, which served, in turn, to expedite sustainable high-speed growth and urbanization. Seoul took the initiative in all the rapid changes, which resulted in a severe deficiency in supply of houses and infrastructure in and around the capital city. On the other hand, that phenomenon served to inject unprecedented vitality into the construction sector. Yet there was room for improvement in the relevant law, and some institutional measures were taken to systemize the law in a modernistic way by rearranging the construction act and the urban planning act, by introducing an architect certification system and by setting up the association of architects. Buildings constructed at that time exactly represented contemporary social characteristics affected by the unique governing ideology of Korean society. Two different types of buildings were constructed at the same time. One was high-rise buildings that were the symbols of national modernization and economic development, and the other was traditional buildings constructed to ensure the orthodox of the political power. Modern buildings involving high-rise ones in downtown areas were used as national symbols of growth and prosperity, as the products of the introduction of advanced foreign civilization, and as a means to show off the visible outcome of modernization for political purposes. Monumental public buildings that had nationalistic characteristics were played up as combinations of modern function and ethnic representation. This study is meaningful in that it attempted to examine the construction background and architectural characteristics of Samilro buildings, which were typical major buildings to symbolize development decade, in an effort to discuss the social meaning and roles of contemporary buildings. |
