Abstract

The purpose of this study is to classify the types of pillar-wall building confirmed to be from the late Baekje (from Sabi period), examine the characteristics and changes of each type, and conduct a preliminary review to reconstruct them.
 The pillar-wall building is one of the main buildings built in the late Baekje and is intensively identified in Gongju and Buyeo area, the royal capitals of Baekje, and related research continues as the number of recent investigations increases. According to this, various types and formations of the pillar-wall building are classified by researchers, but inferring the upper structure of the building, there are many cases that could be reconstructed to the same type of building. Therefore, for the pillar-wall building investigated so far, the classification criteria is set in consideration of the upper structure.
 As a result of the review, the pillar-wall building is divided into three types and special type, and the architectural structure for each type is divided into type 1 (wall type + furniture type) and type 2·3 (wall type). Among them, type 3 is the most common type, and the possibility of type 1 being a building with a high hierarchy is raised when reviewed archaeologically and architecturally.
 As for the upper structure of the building, when looking at type 1 as the center, entrance facilities are placed on the long side of the plane square, and the building pillars are placed in the center of the left and right short sides, and it is judged as a building of the type with a gable roof whose building pillars are supporting the ridge purlin of the building. However, since the building pillar protrudes from the building wall to the outside, the roof shape may be a square, but the possibility that it is a plane hexagon can not be ruled out. In addition, it is confirmed possible that the buildings seen in house-type earthen wares in the Gaya region, have a slightly different shape from those of Baekje, judging from the location of the entrance facilities and the overall arrangement of the pillars of the building.
