Abstract

This research aims to examine the architectural system and spatial hierarchies maintaining the universality of central government office architecture. It analyzes the types and procedures of attendance rituals (坐起) performed at the central government office around Yukjo Street, based on the legal codes and gwanseoji in the Joseon Dynasty. The legal codes from Gyeonggukdaejeon to Daejeonhoetong record the positions and actions of officials greeting and facing each other. Additionally, Gwanseo literature from the late Joseon Period documents regulations for each government office, applying them to the attendance rituals, which are rituals for superiors to go to work. The spatial elements such as the main gate (大門), middle gate (中門), courtyard (庭), stylobate (中階), exterior column (楹), and wall (壁), along with the hierarchical order according to the level of members, are significant factors that contribute to the universality of the architectural system of the central hall, which varies in function and condition.
