Social Contribution in Harmony with the World

Junglim Architecture has improved local communities and marginalized groups’ spatial environments through pro bono design, supervision, and construction management. From supporting overseas educational facilities to disaster recovery and improving housing environments for people with disabilities, we connect the inherent value of architecture with social responsibility. Through employees’ voluntary participation and partnerships, we practice a culture of sustainable sharing.
