[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Shinhan Architects' design was selected in the design competition for the Miryang branch of the National Intangible Heritage Center under the Cultural Heritage Administration. With a total floor area of approximately 10,000㎡, it will include research rooms, a performance hall, startup support spaces, storage, exhibition and library facilities, and is scheduled to be completed in 2025.

The winning design was highly praised for ▲ maximizing the view towards Yeongnamru through large windows and an outdoor terrace, ▲ opening the space from the main entrance on Arirang Street to the Miryang River embankment to revitalize the surrounding streets, and ▲ modern interpretation of traditional spatial elements such as eaves, wooden verandas, and gardens.

The National Intangible Heritage Center plans to accelerate the revitalization of intangible heritage transmission in the Jeollabuk-do region with the establishment of the Miryang branch. The Miryang branch will be responsible for expanding registered intangible heritage items through systematic investigation and research, as well as discovering and preserving modern and contemporary intangible cultural heritage.

The National Intangible Heritage Center stated, “Facing Yeongnamru, a representative space of Miryang, and the Miryang River, it is expected to become a modern landmark together with the Intangible Cultural Heritage Transmission Education Center currently being built on the same site.”
