The purpose of this article is to disclose the hidden architectural proportions and true nature of the Korean national treasure in Seokguram Grotto, Gyeongju. The authors compare its features with those of other ancient hypogeal or ashlar constructions with the intention of rediscovering its relevant configuration and latent structural properties in order to demonstrate its uniqueness. The methods employed in the research belong initially to architectural design and composition to advance in the later stages to the nuances of stone masonry, lighting effects and especially cohesive construction. In this discussion and thorough analysis diverse philosophical and scientific subtleties are brought to the surface. The results demonstrate significant potential thanks to recent architectural developments, such as Tadao Ando’s Buddha Hill in Hokkaido (2017) and the authors’ own proposal for a Buddhist monument ; F. S.-A. dedicates this article to his beloved son Francisco Salguero Jiménez. I. R.-C. wishes to recognize Maria Luisa Rodriguez Cunill and Antonio Maestre Cernadas. J. CabezaLainez feels indebted to Tomomi Odajima for offering sustain in endless travels and recognizes the indefatigable work and help of Lorenzo Muro. F.P.-H. wants to dedicate his work in this article to his master Alain Kermorvant, from the University of Tours, for the moments they shared in the islands of Malta. The endurance of Juhyung Lee is much appreciated by the authors ; Ingeniería Minera, Mecánica, Energética y de la Construcción
