Abstract

In 1916, the Japanese Government General of Korea initiated the construction of a new government building and concurrently released 'The Site and Layout of the Official Residence in Gyeongbokgung Palace.' This announcement, part of a broader new building development plan, outlined a long-term master plan for the complete transformation of Gyeongbokgung Palace into the Japanese Government General Building over the following 30 years. The plan notably proposed the development of Gyeongbokgung Palace as a multifunctional site, encompassing a government building, park, and official residence. This study compares and analyzes various layout drawings to investigate the effectiveness of the master plan's characteristics. Findings reveal that these characteristics were effectively implemented through the destruction of Gyeongbokgung buildings, the Joseon Product Evaluation Expo in 1915, and the Joseon Expo in 1929. The following chapters examines the implementation of the Gyeongbokgung Palace under the influence of this master plan.
