Kim Jung Chul Award was established in 2011 with funds donated by the late architect Kim Jung Chul to honor individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the advancement of architectural culture across various fields related to architecture. Grounded in his philosophy of embracing diverse perspectives within architecture, respecting a wide array of stakeholders, and nurturing the next generation, this award serves as a token of appreciation for those fostering the evolution and enrichment of contemporary architectural culture, facilitating dialogue between architecture and society, and broadening the horizons of architectural culture. Our objective is to acknowledge their invaluable contributions to the architectural community and to extend our support for their future endeavors.
