Namsan High School Library, Chaekmaru, was transformed in 2024 through a school space innovation project into a multi-purpose cultural space that goes beyond a traditional reading room.
Its open layout, with wall-to-wall shelving, creates an immersive reading environment while encouraging interaction between teachers and students as well as among students. Soft, natural lighting further enhances the welcoming atmosphere.
A flexible stage area supports a variety of events, including student-led book concerts and humanities talks. Cozy group seating areas also provide a space where students can exchange ideas and foster creativity through discussion.
Located in a scenic setting near Beomeosa Temple, Chaekmaru provides a welcoming environment for relaxation.
