Korean Traditional House: Grass Roofed House

It is made of red clay so it was cool in summer and warm in winter. Also it was really easy and cheap to get those materials so many poor people used to make Choga house.

The roof was made of grass so it was easy to get it, and it was good in both summer and winter because it protected hotness in summer and it protected people from cold air in winter. But it was easy to burn and people need to change their roof once a year.

I have no idea what they have thought for Choga house in the past but I think it also looks beautiful. It harmonizes with nature. Nowadays they are gone but some Korean designer used Choga house’s outlook to modern buildings. In Choga house, there is Korean ancestors wisdom,

    Due to the 50-fold increase in the amount of workers working in Hulme in the 1950s, the government had to find a cheap, quick way of making houses. They resorted to terraced housing. They had to knock down the old bombed out houses that were a result of the German bombing raids in the Second World War, these were dilapidated and wasted useful space. Terraced housing was ideal at the time because it was cheap, quick to make and didn’t require much space. T followed a “grid iron pattern” However it did create some disadvantages. It caused diseases and fires to spread quickly due to the cramped conditions; each house didn’t have many amenities which wasn’t very helpful.

Though the area may appear unsuitable for habitation, the Anasazi were able to adapt to this environment by building homes using materials found in abundance around the Chaco Canyon region. (Fig. 1) The apartment style of building of great houses, "multistoried communal strongholds"1 , began to appear during the late ninth century, dying down into the twelfth century A.D.2 While wood usually had to be imported from a distance, sandstone was readily available and used primarily in this geometric style of architecture. Although no one knows the exact reasons why, the Anasazi moved to create these large complexes now known as great houses, breaking away from previously more traditional pithouse communities. Perhaps it was safer to commune as a large group, protecting themselves from enemies. Another possibility can be seen through examination of the heating and cooling benefits of the Chaco Canyon great house style of architecture.…

They did this in order not to waste time in building, and not to want food the next season. Also in order not to discourage poor laboring people whom they brought over from the Fatherland.…
