North Korea (the Democratic Peoples Republic of
Korea) After the cease fire, the North Korea was
still governed by IlSung Kim and he strictly
imposed one man rule. After he died in 1994, his
son, Jungil Kim inherited the power from his
father. In the North Korea, there is still
dictatorial regime and they have had to make
people respect Jungil Kim and his father, Il sung
Kim.

South Korea (the Republic of Korea) After the
cease fire, there were democratic vote and people
made democratic government in the South Korea.
However, there were some revolutions by military
people and ironically, the military people
developed the economy of South Korea. In fact,
before 1969, North Korea was more developed
country than the South, but after that time, the
South Korea becomes the twelfth developed country
in the world. Especially, after the Seoul
Olympic Games in 1988, Seoul is one of the
international cities in the world.

Architectural strategy in Korean peninsula Even
though North and South Koreans is the purely same
ethnic people, due to the different system,
there are totally different style cultures in
each side. In the case of architecture, there
were also very different style architectures in
the both sides. For example, during their
compete period from 1960s to 1970s, if North
Korea built 60 stories hotel, South tried to
built over 60 stories building and in order to
advertise each others advantage, they tried to
make exaggerated shape and use the materials
which can show the authority. Thats why they
intentionally tried to make different things
against the opposite side. After 1969, the
economy of South Korea becomes more ten times
developed than the North. Moreover, Seoul
Olympic Games held 1988, and South Korea doesnt
care about the competition with North except
military. These days, finally, they are trying
to recover their identity because South Korea
has kind of confidence.
