Initiated as part of the redevelopment of the Myeongdong area in Seoul, the project was completed after a series of design phases: Junglim Architecture winning the design competition in 1973, followed by design modifications in 1977 and expansion design in 1979. This project was crucial in Junglim Architecture\u2019s growth into a mid-to-large sized firm and served as a model for early urban redevelopment projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 24-story building\u2019s exterior is characterized by a massive brown tone, differing somewhat from the original lighter and sleeker design. The use of Brazilian granite and azalea-colored tile finishes give the building a gentle impression, while the podium\u2019s banking halls and a sunken garden facilitate smooth public access, contributing to a dynamic urban atmosphere. The architectural configuration with a low-rise podium dedicated to banking facilities and a high-rise tower for offices pioneered the dominant typology of bank headquarters in Korea thereafter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Archive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/junglim.info\/archives\/365\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/junglim.info\/archives\/365\" target=\"_blank\">Junglim People &amp; Works Korea Exchange Bank Headquarters<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Korea Exchange Bank Headquarters symbolically reflects the growth of the financial industry and the spread of bank and office building architecture during a period of rapid modernization in Korea.
