F1963

“Memories of places that are newly engraved with time that accumulates one after another”
-
As the layers of time pile up, the traces are engraved on the building as it is. The paint peels off, and the piles of dust make tear marks along with the rain. Just as the rising young generation threatens the older generation, old and torn buildings become shabby under the pressure of new and splendid buildings. Buildings that once received attention and once reached their heyday are no exception.
-
Can such a building regain its reputation at that time? Looking at 'F1963', it doesn't seem like a possibility.
-
The Suyeong Factory, located in Mangmi-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan, is the first factory that became the birthplace of Goryeo Steel. As they were the ones who made it possible to successfully complete major projects such as Gwangan Bridge and Yi Sun-sin Bridge while producing wires for 45 years, they developed at an unpredictable speed for a short and long period of time. Its enlarged size and ferocious age made the factory no longer able to fulfill its role, and it was literally abandoned and neglected, degenerating into a neighborhood abomination.
-
It was an abomination in the eyes of strangers, but it was a grateful place for giving me a job so that I could make a living in response to the rapidly increasing population of Busan after the Korean War. Therefore, this must have been a very meaningful space for the citizens of Busan, and for the first time, the government and companies joined hands to recreate the factory as a complex cultural space.
-
The existing building shape and frame were maintained as much as possible, and only necessary parts were added. The exterior of the old and demolished building is partially hand-painted and the front door is painted with expanded metal in a color suitable for Busan, showing neatness and sophistication comparable to that of a new building that comes up.
-
The book tower of wisdom was built in the place where the large crane used to be, so you can feel the various senses of space created by the space in the space. Part of the ceiling of the factory was torn off and a courtyard was created to create a place for people to gather, and materials from the process were recycled into benches and signs.
-
The space that had to be wide enough to operate the machine has provided a space where people of all ages can enjoy together. From libraries, exhibition halls, cafes, restaurants, and concert halls, the Suyeong Factory, which has changed according to the times rather than staying in the past, will leave memories for Busan citizens again with 'F1963'.
