The new art museum of Jeonnam Province proposes a symbolic solution that is inspired by local culture to enhance the community feeling and to rethink the traditional craftsmanship. It is an interpretation of the vernacular blended into the modern construction method to create a new city landmark. The proposal reinforces the identity of the region through culture and artistic values. Taking the advantage of the site location, the new building will be an economic and social motivation for the neighbourhood, and the infrastructure connecting the region to the new green belt. The museum will be a cultural and public platform hosting a wild range of activities to guide the community to appreciate the dialect of Art.  Hence, this building not only functions as a museum, but also an artistic park which serves different purposes. Exhibition, conference centre, outdoor space, park, shops, and workshops will be the space to fuel knowledge, sociability, learning, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and exchange. Embracing this purpose, the museum is composed by the multiplying of modules with flexible spatial organization.  The modules are connected together through indoor and outdoor public spaces. The strategy is inspired by the Hanok village, the traditional cultural pattern, and the beauty of the forest.
