SPACE
May 2026 (No. 702)
For over 50 years, the Jeonil Building (currently Jeonil Building 245) stood as a landmark in Geumnam-ro, Gwangju, and a historic site for the May 18 Democratization Movement. However, it gradually lost its prominence following the relocation of the provincial office and the building’s deterioration. The 2015 opening of the Asia Culture Center sparked a public consensus to revive the building as a complex cultural space. Under the concept of ‘coexistence between old and new’, the design team focused on inheriting the spirit of May 18 and restoring the building’s symbolic value.
