The spatial composition of Korean traditional houses is based on the relation of spaces in the background of humanism, society, and composition. According to the analysis of it in this study, we make conclusions as follows; 1) Two compositive axises are formed according to age, sex and status which are the main factors of society and culture in the traditional society. 2) The house of '口-shaped' type in the traditional houses concentrates to the interior. To the exterior, it has the closed and conservative system. The wall in the outside of An-Chae intercepts the sight outward and the extension of space, while the wall in the inside is composed of doors and windows which make the sight and space concentrate to the interior. On the contrary, the doors and windows of Sarang-bang and Nu-maru of Sarang-chae open and extend to the exterior. 3) The spatial composition of the traditional houses is composed of geometrical order system and organic order system.

Hakbongjongtaek(The head house of Uisong Kim family, 鶴峯宗宅), firstly built in the early 17th century, was moved to its neighboring place in the late 18th century. The man who led the relocation(移建) of the house was the eldest grandson of the family, Jong-soo, Kim. He made and overall plan and also participated in building the house. There remain four Gados(family paintings, 가도(家圖)) related to the relocation plan. This paper aims to make an analysis of these Gados, and through analysis, to find what was the essential poing of the relocation plan and how the point was represented in the paintings. The result of analysis is as follows: 1. The main focus of relocation plan was the form of Anchae(the inner house). Anchae was designed as asymmetrical form, and restricted to four kan. Only Andaechung needed to be 6 kan size for religious ceremonies. 2. For the design of Sarangchae, the displacement of large Sarangbang and small Sarangbang was an important issue. There were two ways of layout: parallel type and facing type. The latter was chosen. 3. The representation and techniques of Gado is quite concrete, in spite of differences among them. The expression of doors, windows, attic and kitchen was based on the understanding of space. Also the spatial division, which was expressed line on the grid, was based on the scaled ruler. As we've seen before, painting the relocation plan was a kind of endeavors to make the housing type as a realization of Garye. Also, we can find out that role of the eldest grandson of the family was quite important to carry out the plan. As well as, it was meaningful to examine Sadaebu (the aristocrat of Chosun)'s perception of housing.
