New Year's remarks

2024 New Year's Kickoff Ceremony was concluded with the New Year's remarks from CMO and CDO representatives.

"We must become architects with insight who inspire others in the society. We need the strength to lead the architectural market with a new perspective. Let’s be a group who can define our own future by taking new approaches we haven't taken before." 

- Muchan Park, CMO

The architecture industry is expected to face significant challenges this year, but challenges come with opportunities. By strengthening our capabilities through internal efforts, we can seize the opportunities. We need to create overwhelming differences in various aspects including design, through change and innovation. Let's make this year an opportunity to move forward rather than cowering in crisis.
