architecture day
Architectural Day was established in 2005 to celebrate the founding of Gyeongbokgung Palace, which represents the long history and tradition of the Korean people, to promote harmony and unity among architects and present a new vision for future architecture. Through the Architecture Day event, we aim to inspire the pride and ethical awareness of architects as experts in architectural design and construction technology, and fulfill their role and mission as leaders in developing architectural culture and national development.
