This project examines hanok as a spatial intersection of Neo-Confucian philosophy and aesthetics on the Korean Peninsula. Hanok, which are vernacular wooden structures developed during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), emerged in an era where the ruling ideology shifted from Buddhism to Neo-Confucianism. Despite preconceived contemporary notions of what virtual space is, we already see experimentation with creating alternative spatial experiences within a hanok through the use of philosophy and aesthetics. Through visual and spatial analysis of hanok, and textual analysis of Neo-Confucian philosophy from the Song Dynasty in China and the Joseon Dynasty in Korea, I aim to elucidate the aesthetic taste of the elite, and present a better understanding of what is now a virtual aesthetic experience in the physical space of a hanok.
