Public Library of Eastern City of Jinju 

[International Design Competition]





Year: 2021

Area: Site. 7,970m²  Gross. 4,600m² 

Client: Jinju City Hall

Status: Competition, 5th Prize

Location: Chojeon-dong, Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do

Located to the east of Chojeondong, the lower stretch of the Jinju Namgang River features wide, calm waters and sandy shores, creating a distinctive natural panorama. To the west, Seonhaksan Mountain frames the site, positioning it between the river and the mountainous landscape. The stable horizontal alignment of the mountain and river is a key environmental asset. Thus, integrating the vertical order of the residential complex with these natural vistas is a central design consideration.


The main access to Jangjae Park has a steep incline with a 26m height difference. As one ascends, a gradual promenade unfolds. The library serves as a key element, connecting the apartment complex’s vertical structure with the park’s horizontal spaces. It rises around an atrium, linking to the external courtyards and walking paths. Layered bookshelves create a space that integrates seamlessly with the community’s daily life.
