Julpo Regeneration Series - Hub & Public Restroom / Narrative Architects
The Julpo Regeneration Series represents an experimental approach aimed at revitalizing a declining town and exploring new possibilities. Julpo, once a thriving port over the past century and the birthplace of renowned politicians and literary figures, bears traces of its former glory in its urban fabric. However, after the port's closure due to natural sediment accumulation, the region shifted to an agriculture-based economy, gradually losing its vibrancy as young people migrated to cities. As echoed in the dialogue from the film Byeonsan, "All we have to show here is the sunset," we sought to inject new publicness and emotional energy into the town's urban structure by employing architectural language that contrasts with its existing context.
