Abstract

In this paper, the process of building and transforming the large-scale authoritative buildings of Jeseoksa Temple Site was reviewed by tracing the construction process according to the stages of planning and designing, construction and completion, and reconstruction after disposal. In the planning and design stage, the location of the temple was selected, and the lay-out and size of the temple was determined. Through topographic analysis and survey data review, it was found that the Jeseoksa Temple Site was located in the most optimal location, considering environmental conditions such as flooding and future spatial expandability. In addition, it was estimated that the temple had been built as part of a large-scale urban planning project in Iksan, based on the accessibility and spatial arrangement of the remains of the Wanggung-ri Site. It was understood that the temple layout reflected the aspect of maintaining the ‘one pagoda and one golden hall’ tradition and changes accompanying the expansion of scale. At the beginning of construction, areas of high ground were cut down and soil was piled up at areas of low ground in order to flatten the land; this was likely done in order to secure a wide and solid land plot. Subsequently, in order to build solid foundations for the individual buildings, plate construction was carried out above ground or underground. Finally, roof tiles and walls were utilized to form a temple landscape. In this way, the stage at which the landscape of the entire temple was finalized can be seen as the point of com-pletion. It is estimated that the temple layout featured in a wooden pagoda, golden hall, and auditorium surrounded by a middle gate, corridors, east-west buildings, and monastic buildings. Jeseoksa Temple Site was destroyed by fire in 639, and the temple was subsequently abandoned. After the waste was removed to the Jeseoksa Temple Site waste site, the re-construction stage began. It is estimated that the landscape of the rebuilt temple was trans-formed, with the use of new styles such as convex roof-end tiles with lotus design, con-cave roof-end tiles with arabesque design, and dtamped roof-tiles.
