Concrete Wall

Concrete Wall, located at the foot of Cheongpungho Lake where the mountains and water of Jecheon meet, is a building that won the Korean Institute of Architects Award. The origin of the name ‘clear wind and bright moon’ implies the tranquility of a land surrounded by nature. This place, which boasts a beautiful scenery where mountains and lakes meet, was a site that was damaged by developers and neglected for over a dozen years. Although it faced Cheongpung Lake, trees were blocking the view of the lake. Although they attempted to remove the trees, space was created while preserving the acacia forest. Various spaces were created by the concrete walls laid one on top of the other, creating room for light, wind, birdsong, and the scent of acacia to seep through the cracks in the concrete. Due to the nature of the space, it is fully exposed to changes in the weather and may seem uncomfortable due to the many stairs and rotating circulation, but it is a space where you can fully feel the rawness of nature.
