About US
This center was established to conduct research on urban architecture and to offer practical methodology in terms of architectural engineering. Public policy and regulations are scrutinized, as well as the planning of complex urban facilities that require professional counsel, wherein specific design alternatives are offered and produced, such as urban housing design. In addition, research and analysis of traditional architecture in Korea is conducted, especially in Seoul, with an eye on the preservation of structures of historical and cultural importance. With regards to architectural engineering, research focuses both on new structural systems, and on evaluations of the structural maintenance of existing buildings using modern equipment, which examines the thermic and sonic energy of building environments. Research on constructional business management and the computerization of the construction process is also part of the mandate.
