The renovation of the Asan Medical Hall began with a close reading of the building’s existing structure and the traces of long-term use embedded within it.
Instead of repositioning the facility entirely, the project reorganizes circulation and spatial clarity to meet the demands of contemporary medical education.

Primary axes are reinforced, visual connections are opened, and material decisions are reduced to essentials, establishing a calmer and more coherent order.
Subtle interventions—such as the ceramic louvers and the adjusted interior flow—give the building a renewed identity while maintaining its original scale and character.

This process involved balancing the integrity of what existed with the functional precision required of an academic environment.
The design approach focused on aligning structural rhythm, program flow, and perceptual continuity so that changes remain measured and integrated within the building’s established framework. The goal was not to introduce a new aesthetic agenda, but to refine how the building performs and is experienced in daily use.

Inside, light, texture, and calibrated transparency shape the spatial experience.
Warm whites and restrained wood accents temper the institutional atmosphere, while reorganized sequences of movement support both focused study and informal interaction.
The project avoids erasure and excess, aiming instead for a balanced environment in which teaching, circulation, and everyday use form a coherent whole.
Through this restrained approach, the Medical Hall functions as a steady and adaptable setting for education, grounded in continuity rather than display.
