Education Museum of Gwangju National University of Education

The Education Museum was built as the main building of Gwangju Normal School and was designed by the architect Kim Han-seop, who was active mainly in Gwangju, South Jeolla Province and Jeju. Its exterior is rhythmically composed by alternating windows and brick piers based on the basic module of each classroom, and it is distinctive for using masonry construction and a timber roof frame as its main structural system while, at a time when cement and reinforcing steel were scarce, reinforcing against lateral forces with brick-formwork concrete columns.
