Peace House

Peace House is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Peace House rather than just read about it. In short: The Peace House (House of Peace or Home of Peace) is a venue for peace talks between North and South Korea. The building is situated in the Joint Security Area on the south side of the Military Demarcation Line bisecting the area.

Key takeaways

  • Peace House belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Peace House to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Peace House from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Peace House (House of Peace or Home of Peace) is a venue for peace talks between North and South Korea. The building is situated in the Joint Security Area on the south side of the Military Demarcation Line bisecting the area. It is under the jurisdiction of the United Nations Command.

The Peace House is a three-story building whose construction completed on December 19, 1989. The floor layout, which adds up to 998 square metres (10,740 sq ft), is as follows:

First floor: a pair of rooms used mainly for press conferences and lower-level meetings. Second floor: dedicated, for the most part, to an elaborate conference room Third floor: two rooms, one dedicated for luncheons and dinners The building is intended for non-military purposes, with the most notable usage being the April 2018 inter-Korean summit. The building is equipped with closed-circuit television and microphones, allowing real time audio and video monitoring of the facility at the South Korean presidential office in Seoul.

Notable usages The building has served as a venue for the following events:

August 25, 2015: Kim Kwan-jin, South Korea's Chief of National Security Council, and Hong Yong-pyo, South Korea's Minister of Unification, met with Hwang Pyong-so, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of North Korea's Workers' Party, and Kim Yang Gon, a senior official of the Workers' Party of Korea. January 15, 2018, Kwon Hyok Bong, director of the Arts and Performance Bureau in North Korea's Culture Ministry, and Hyon Song-wol, North Korea's deputy chief delegate for the talks, met with their South Korean counterparts to discuss inter-Korean participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics. April 27, 2018: April 2018 inter-Korean summit

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Peace House

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Peace House claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Peace House before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Peace House ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Peace House

In research
Peace House appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Peace House in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Peace House is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1989 establishments in South Korea, 20th-century architecture in South Korea, Buildings and structures completed in 1989, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Peace House outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Peace House in simple terms?

The Peace House (House of Peace or Home of Peace) is a venue for peace talks between North and South Korea. The building is situated in the Joint Security Area on the south side of the Military Demarcation Line bisecting the area.

Why does Peace House matter?

Because it connects several engineering ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.
