Architecture of the Korean confederacy

The Korean Confederacy, established in the late 7th century during the Silla kingdom's expansion, was a loose alliance of smaller states. Its architecture featured a mix of military and civilian structures, including fortresses to defend against invaders, temples for spiritual practices, and palaces to reflect royal power. The design emphasized harmony with nature, using wooden beams and tiled roofs, and often incorporated intricate carvings and tiled decorations. This architectural style showcased the cultural identity and governance of the confederacy, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal while promoting unity among the diverse regions of Korea.
