?The museum is given a birth and breathes as a piece of the nature lives in it.?Kim Jong-bok Art Museum in Daegu Catholic University is built to commemorate the artist Kim Jong-bok and her works. It opened with 100 pieces of donated Kim?s masterpieces and now is a great archive where history of art in Daegu and Gyeong-buk region from 1940?s to 2010?s is reserved. Also, the museum provides high level of art education to students and develops the regional culture.

The architectural structure of the museum on the original plan had a strong but smooth flow in its overall shape, implying the nature of the artist. A part of the exterior that was to be newly added, however, was cut off due to budgetary deficit, and therefore it now seems like the outer surface of the building is being squeezed into the inner space. In other words, the museum is designed to be a distinguished architectural layer that slides into the existing building.
