Jeonil Building, located in the heart of Gwangju\u2019s old downtown area at Geumnam-ro 1-ga, has been a symbolic building of the area for over 50 years. It is historically significant as the site where journalists covered the May 18 Democratic Uprising and where helicopter gunfire damage was found. However, the relocation of the Jeollanam-do Provincial Government Office led to the decrease of downtown population and the decline of functional and symbolic roles of the building, which was since neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the opening of the National Asian Culture Center (ACC), a turning point for the revitalization of the old downtown, there arose a civic consensus to use Jeonil Building as a cultural complex linked to the ACC. A remodeling design was proposed under the concept of \u201ccoexistence of old and new.\u201d Leveraging its location adjacent to the ACC \u2014 the nationally significant cultural powerhouse \u2014 the building aims to host cultural creation community facilities that connect, develop, and support cultural contents produced at the ACC, thereby renewing the building\u2019s growth potential and restoring its symbolic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
