- Introduction
- Asia Culture Center is a core facility of the Asia Culture City Construction Business located in the last protest site of the former Jeollanam-do provincial government building. It was built to commemorate the 5.18 democratic uprising by elevating it to cultural and artistic values at the national level. ACC becomes the background of the historical buildings which kept the memory of the past and plays a role to connect the past memories to the present and the future. Transparency and light were proposed as a symbol of Gwangju and the future of Asia, the building actively brings in the natural lights that divide the interior space of the ACC building and forms a spiritual connection to Gwangju - a 'the city of light'. The interaction between light and the space provides directionality and at the same time communicates with inner and outer spaces. The concept of "Madang" - Korean traditional courtyard was reinterpreted on an urban scale to create the Asia Culture Plaza and 100,000㎡ sized public park on the roof was designed at the same height as the horizontal level. The mass of ACC Creation and ACC Children were designed at higher level than the park in order to show the identity of culture center to the surrounding area.
