Philosophy
50 Years Righteously, 100 Years Together!
Junglim Architecture, established by two congenial brother architects in 1967, has played a pivotal role of developing Korean architectural culture as 50 years of time has flown. On the background of making Junglim Architecture into what it is today have been ceaseless interest and affection, enthusiasm for architecture, and a number of invisible helping hands, any of which has been indispensable to make the company sustain to date. Therefore, we cannot but think about our responsibility for and obligation to society beyond our company.With the mission of making sound spatial environment towards the world where all live together, we are endeavoring to become a happy workplace where individuals can elicit their best abilities, an healthy architectural group that creates and shares sound spatial environment, and an imitable company which is socially honored with sound business ethics.This philosophy of Junglim Architecture leads to the world we all dream of. As has always been the case, Junglim Architecture will build the best-fit spatial environment for people living in this era and leave an architectural legacy for the generations to live in future.
Mission
Vision
Core Value
Junglim Architecture has designed a number of buildings representative of Korea, such as Incheon International Airport, Sangam World Cup Stadium, COEX, KINTEX, Times Square, Blue House, and National Museum of Korea. Every Korean national, or even every first visitor to Korea, has already experienced Junglim Architecture. We do not simply make buildings. The values we pursue do not stay at a slogan, but materialize into real buildings. Our architecture includes the values we pursue and must keep necessarily.

Human
We Take Care of Human Beings
Our works have direct influence on the thoughts and actions of human beings. For this reason, our works revolve around the human beings. At the center of our works are those who make a space and those who enjoy the space.
We are architects for the people.
Junglim Architecture ponders on and considers both of them, where we honor each other and make architecture for human beings. -
Trust
We Keep Building Trust
It is rare that only an architectural firm takes on almost all projects of a client company whose CEO has changed even five times for about 30 years. The power of maintaining this relationship is trust.
We practice responsible architecture based on trust.
The clients that have long relationship with us say they cannot rely on anyone but Junglim Architecture. So do we work with sound principles and pursue righteous architecture. -
Teamwork
We Work in Collaboration
Complex buildings, airports, and museums, measuring millions sq. m., are not created by one person’s brilliant inspiration and innate talent. Only when a number of architecture-related experts’ ideas and abilities are organically combined, a high-quality building is brought to life.
We collaborate with clear communication.
The driving force of embodying the needs of clients and society into the best works is the very teamwork and collaboration. Junglim Architecture is a group of architectural artisans, but nevertheless recognizes what synergy arises by working “together” and believes that “together” is our power.
Therefore, we work in collaboration. -
Excellence
We Pursue What Excels
Junglim Architecture has been ranked No. 16 in the world and No. 1 in Korea as an architectural practice on the World Largest Architectural Practice 100 2017 list, and won more than 200 architectural awards including the Korean Architecture Awards.
We create the highest quality architecture for our clients and society.
Grateful to these appraisals as we are, we think the true appraisals will be made in the distant future.
That’s why we cannot be satisfied with these present appraisals.
In this way, we strive for the best-fit architecture for clients and society. -
Sustainability
We Keep Innovating
In 1985, Junglim Architecture introduced the CAD system for the first time in Korea. All started from the computers that filled up a room. A couple of years later, we published Architectural Details with CAD drawings for the development of Korean architecture. This is also the case with BIM. We published BIM Guidebook in collaboration with Autodesk in 2016, and now are distributing its free copies.
We continually grow and expand into the next century.
The on-going research on environmentally friendly architecture is also at the center of Junglim’s innovation.
We are to share its findings as well. We regard true sustainability come from innovating for the future and sharing its fruits with Korean architectural industry so as to grow together. In this sense, Junglim Architecture is building its 100 years of future history with the blocks of steady growth.
