Reviving culture is not limited to preservation or reconstruction; it requires revealing its values and engaging the public, thereby establishing communication between the past and the present. A decade has passed since the fire at Sungnyemun, and citizens’ memories of the event have gradually faded. Although the gate has been restored to its place within the daily fabric of the city, its painful history is slowly being forgotten. This study seeks an architectural approach that reconnects citizens with Sungnyemun through spatial narrative and feng shui interpretation, emphasizing the historical and geomantic meanings of the site. Here, place is defined not as a physical environment but as a living space composed of human behavior, relationships, and accumulated time—an intersection of history and memory. Recognizing indifference as a key cause of the fire, this research proposes a memorial space as a medium to reawaken public awareness and revive the cultural value of Sungnyemun, enabling citizens to reflect upon history through collective experience.
