Former Church of the Korea Air Force Academy, Seoul

The Former Church of the Korea Air Force Academy, Seoul was designed by the architect Choi Chang-gyu and built in 1964. It stands within Boramae Park, which was created after the Air Force Academy relocated to Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, in 1985, and it symbolically represents the history of the former Air Force Academy. The building is notable for an unconventional architectural approach that departed from the typical church-building style of its day, including a steeply pitched roof and an interior space that emphasises verticality. It is now used by the Dongjak District Office of Seoul as a cultural and arts space, the Dongjak Art Gallery.
