‘Regenerated Construction’ means to change existing building into new and attractive space without damaging its own identity. ‘Tate Modern’ of London, England changed from thermal power plant to modern museum with maintaining its original form, and ‘High Line park’ of New York, America regenerated as a park from elevated railroad, are the representative examples of ‘Regenerated Construction’. In Korea, there are ‘Cafe Daerimchango’ being used as cafe and cultural space renovated from old rice mill and warehouse, and Culture Station Seoul 284 transformed from the former Seoul Station to new multiple cultural space. Recently, multipurpose spaces starting from ‘Regenerated Construction’ are increasing constantly An old four-storied building built over 40 years ago became new company building of Apparel B, a company to produce, distribute and sell men’s wears. It was in the state of total neglect from the basement to the fourth floor without being used as anything except the first floor used as store for cars.
