Features of Gwangju Regional Government Complex

Exterior design representing the light rising onto a wide field

With the design concept of “light on the field,” horizontal emphasis expressing the fields of Gwangju and Jeonnam provinces and vertical emphasis on the image of light were symbolically used in organizing the building’s mass. Fragmentation of the mass relieved the feeling of overbearing, and roof windows facilitated lighting and ventilation.

Energy-saving, eco-friendly offices

Extensive roof greening prevents the direct contact of sunlight with the surfaces of buildings; thus resulting in energy saving. The indoor atrium induces natural light to create a vibrant interior space. It also features thermal ice storage systems using the electricity generated at night, ubiquitous facility management system using wireless PDA, pollution-free, clean energy facility producing geothermal and solar power, waste heat recovery system on air handling units, utilization of effluent ground water, and LED street lighting for the security of pedestrians.

Barrier-free design for people with disabilities

It features detectable tactile paving to assist pedestrians who are vision-impaired, elevator system with speech synthesizer, wheelchair storage at the information desk, stepless passage for the disabled and the elderly using wheelchairs, and accessible toilets to accommodate people with physical disabilities.
