Jangseong-gun Transforms Government Office Main Gate into 'Golden Gate' Landmark

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] The main gate of the Jeonnam Jangseong-gun government office has been newly transformed into a landmark that reveals the beauty of the ‘Yellow City Jangseong’.

According to the county on the 1st, the main gate of the government office is a ‘public art piece in the city center’ that introduced the media facade technique, securing both functionality and safety.

The media facade is a term combining ‘media,’ a medium for delivering information, and ‘facade,’ meaning the exterior wall. It goes beyond the method of attaching LED panels to walls to display videos, projecting images directly from the wall surface itself.

The building itself functions as a single screen. It also achieves an urban landscape improvement effect similar to a ‘media art’ piece.

The existing main gate of the government office, built in 1992, was already deteriorated, and the entrance and exit roads were narrow, increasing the possibility of safety accidents when large vehicles such as fire trucks and buses moved. It also caused considerable inconvenience to local residents visiting the government office.

The newly constructed main gate measures 29m in length, 7.7m in height, and a maximum width of 5.4m. Inspired by the legend of the Hwangryong ‘Gaon’ living hidden in the Hwangryong River, the dragon’s head is expressed in a curved form. The color and design were carefully considered to harmonize well with the surrounding living environment.

On the front side where the media facade technique is applied, videos featuring Jangseong’s four seasons, tourist attractions, and the Hwangryong River Yellow Flower Festival are displayed, along with various lifestyle information such as weather and fine dust levels.

Inside the sculpture, the government office management room is placed to utilize the space, and the sculpture was named ‘Golden Gate’ to signify the beginning of a new golden era for Yellow City Jangseong.

County Governor Yoo Doo-seok said, “We plan to widely promote Jangseong’s development and beauty through the Golden Gate,” adding, “We expect it to captivate visitors’ attention and serve as an opportunity to boost the pride of county residents.”
