National Heritage Administration to Hold Awards Ceremony and Academic Conference on the 5th
Twenty-six Works Selected from 126 Entries
The National Heritage Administration will hold the awards ceremony for the "2025 Modern and Contemporary Architectural Cultural Heritage Revitalization Contest" at 10 a.m. on November 5 at the Seoul Museum of History. Out of 126 entries submitted by 175 teams of university and graduate students nationwide, twelve winning works and fourteen honorable mentions have been selected for awards.
A significant number of the winning entries propose ideas for utilizing the Gunsan Inner Port historical and cultural area. The Grand Prize (Director General of the National Heritage Administration Award) went to the "Chachum" team from Gyeongsang National University, whose project aims to revitalize the area by creating exhibition spaces and local shops in and around the former Jeil Feed Company factory in Gunsan. The Excellence Award was given to the "Strange Heritage" team for reimagining the building as an exhibition, cafe, and observatory space. The Special Award went to the "Chaeum" team from Gyeongsang National University for their proposal to develop modern architectural structures and unused spaces in connection with each other. The winning works will be exhibited at the former Chosun Savings Bank executive residence in Seoul from November 5 to 9, and at the Gunsan Modern Architecture Museum from November 11 to 23.
