Imsisudo Jeongbucheongsa, Busan

This building was constructed as the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Office when the provincial capital was moved from Jinju to Busan, and it was used as the temporary government building during the Korean War. When first completed, it had a straight, "一"-shaped plan, but extensions and renovations in the 1960s changed it first to a "ㅁ" shape and then to a "日" shape. An entrance porch projects from the centre of the front façade, and the centre and both ends of the building project forward with gable roofs above them, giving the whole an imposing elevation. A historic building that embodies the political and social changes of Korea's modern history, it is, together with the former Official Residence of the Governor of Gyeongsangnam-do (now the Memorial Hall of the Provisional Capital), one of Busan's representative modern public buildings. It is currently used as the museum of Dong-A University.
