Former Jungangjeongbobu Lecture Hall of Uireung Royal Tomb, Seoul

This is a lecture hall built in 1962 together with a conference room added ten years later; it was the venue where Lee Hu-rak, director of the Jungangjeongbobu (the Central Intelligence Agency), announced the July 4 South-North Joint Statement in 1972, following an agreement between South and North Korea. The building was designed by the architect Na Sang-jin (1923–1973), who at the time was designing highly aesthetic buildings with a bold, experimental spirit.
