Former Main Building of Pusan National University

The former main building is a work by Kim Jung-eop, an architect of great significance in the history of modern Korean architecture, and it is valued as one of his representative works, well illustrating the characteristics of his early architecture. On the steep slope, pilotis — ground-level supporting columns that leave the space beneath a building open — are used to ease the flow of movement to other buildings, linking the various spaces around the main building. Characteristic features include a floor plan built on a regular module, high ceilings, a panoramic view through the large glazing of the front stairwell, and the mosaic-window composition on the rear facade.
