UNESCO World Heritage. Hwaseong Fortress

Hwaseong Fortress challenges conventional perceptions of military architecture by showcasing Korean fortification techniques such as the 'Gongsimdon' and 'Jangdae.' These structures reflect unique cultural adaptations to warfare, diverging from European models. The study emphasizes that the design and construction of fortifications are deeply rooted in societal values and strategic needs, illustrating how different cultures manifest their military ethos through architecture. This insight is drawn from an analysis of Hwaseong Fortress's historical and architectural significance, supported by John Keegan's theoretical framework on warfare as a cultural expression.
