The Joseon Industrial Exhibition was a colonial fair held in 1915 to mark the 5th anniversary of the establishment of Japanese Korea,and was the first official event of the new government. [1] It was held in Gyeongseong (Seoul) [2] at Gyeongbokgung.
The exhibition was held in the grounds of the Gyeongbokgung palace [3] and took place in both existing buildings,and newly constructed ones. [3] The layout was designed to contrast historic Korean architecture with modern Japanese architecture and visitors entered through the existing Gwanghwamun gate,before the new Illhogwan (First Exhibition Hall),which stood in front of the Geunjeongjeon throne room. [3]
There were over 40,000 exhibits,mainly Japanese and Korean,with some Taiwanese exhibits. There were agricultural objects in Illhogwan,and further objects in the Kigyegwan (Machinery) and the Ch'amgogwan (Reference) halls. [3]
Over 1 million people attended the exhibition before it closed on 31 October 1915. [1] [2]

The International Style or internationalism is a major architectural style that was developed in the 1920s and 1930s and was closely related to modernism and modernist architecture. It was first defined by Museum of Modern Art curators Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson in 1932,based on works of architecture from the 1920s. The terms rationalist architecture and modern movement are often used interchangeably with International Style,although the former is mostly used in the English-speaking world to specifically refer to the Italian rationalism,or even the International Style that developed in Europe as a whole.
