Situated to the north of the Sangmu Cultural Park and south of the Gwangjucheon Streams, the City Main Library of Gwangju together with the Sangmu Incinerators Regeneration Project will form the north gateway of the civic parks complex, which attracts cyclers from regional bike trail along the River. The form of the library literally takes up the shape of the site and each façade is in concave shape to greet its neighbours and to portrait an extrovert and inclusive image.
