The Architectural History and Urban Heritage Laboratory at Yonsei University, following the legacy of Professor Kim Sung-woo's laboratory, established in 1986, continues research in Architectural History. The laboratory conducts research on tracing the past of architecture and cities, discovering their contemporary significance, and exploring the process of heritagization that leads to the creation of heritage for the future.

By listening to the story of time, encompassing the past, present, and future of human existence, and striving to preserve valuable memories for future generations, the laboratory envisions a sustainable future where diverse layers of time coexist, based on historical research to discover the value and significance of heritage.
