Department of Architecture

“Learn from everything you see.”

"If you love something, you will be able to know it, and it will seem different from how it was before."

Hyang(香) is a society in the School of Architecture at Pusan National University, founded in 1988. It can be interpreted in two ways with Kanji, 香 which means fragrant and 向 which means to direct, meaning the fragrance spreads out. As architects, we are to go forward into the future with aspiration.
Students who are interested in architectural design will hold different seminars, visit important architecture, and learn graphical tools in graphics courses in this society. Home Coming Day is held once a year to invite seniors in the society and learn from them. The society has a system for juniors to received help through communication with seniors, so that they can ask practical questions on design and get advice on school life easily.
