[Cook Folly] Congzib
본문
Cook Folly Cook Folly, in a nutshell, will function as a restaurant. As a work of art, however, it is expected to become a bottom-up model for urban regeneration in a run-down part of the city in desperate need of revitalization. With young food-related entrepreneurs as partners, the project will also promote social events. The architectural planner will be Chef and entrepreneur Jang, Jin Woo who has become one of the most-talked about and celebrated names among young people for creating dynamic culinary and cultural experiences including Spindle Market, a food-court-like restaurant in Itaewon, and the Jang, Jin Woo Street in the nearby up-and-coming Gyeongnidan-gil area of Seoul. |
In the 1960s when everyone was poor, Hwanggeum-dong was a warmhearted, generous neighborhood. ‘Congzib Stand Bar’ at Chungjangno 3-ga, selling side dishes made of bean and re ned rice wine by the glass was the beginning of Gwangju style stand bar. Gwangju Youth Union aims at succeeding the spirit and meaning of it through the new modern Congzib.
Towards social issues such as revitalizing the old downtown, youth unemployment, balanced regional growth, establishing tourism infrastructure and city-branding, Cook Folly adopts a somewhat light, fun and tasteful approach. Taking the format of a ‘select-dining’ place, the platform gathers Gwangju and Jeollanamdo’s representative ingredients and food together with young locals. Through this, it proposes a small but strong model of a virtuous cycle. Cook Folly consists of a greenhouse café & bar Congzib and Chungmijang which is a hanok offering Korean Food, both named after the oldest and most popular café and restaurant in the history of Gwangju.
