Traditional Korean temple buildings feature grey-tiled, curved rooftops known as "giwa," integral to traditional Hanok architecture. These roofs, with their distinctive, smoothly curving lines, demonstrate intricate craftsmanship and are designed for weather resilience. The elevated eaves and interlocking clay tiles enhance both aesthetic appeal and functionality in rain dispersion. The visible wooden elements highlight the harmonious integration of natural materials typical of traditional Korean construction, reflecting a deep cultural and spiritual connection with nature often associated with Buddhist temples.
