Buildings preserving the regional and topographical features spring up one after another in the country where the capital and provinces change their looks at the same time.

Construction itself is creation and originality and non-repetition are the nature of creation.

It is the reality that there are clear differences in the natural and geographical conditions such as climate and natural features between regions.

In the places where there are heavy rain and snow or strong wind, roofs are designed well and the structure of walls formed against them to ensure the security and practical use of the buildings.

In designing, great attention is directed to enhancing the aesthetic beauty and formative artistic qualities to make structures blend in well with the surrounding environment while preserving the regional and topographical features.

As far as the colours of final paints are concerned, natural colours like those of trees and stones are used to ensure that the structures go well with the physical features of the places in mountainous areas, soft colours in plain areas and white, blue and other colours in a fine mixture suitable for the seaside landscape in coastal areas.

Ponnamu, Chongbong and other streets in the City of Samjiyon are the creations which embody practicality, diversity and formative arts on the principle of giving priority to convenience and aesthetic beauty while preserving the natural and physical features of the mountainous area.

Fantastic are the scenes of Myongsasimni on the Kalma peninsula which fully revealed its imposing appearance as a world-class marine park and coastal tourist city.

Relevant regions work to strengthen construction forces and foundations in order to preserve their characters.

They strengthen the designing forces and constantly improve their level to ensure that they deeply study the construction projects and geographical features from the design and ensure good artistic reciprocity, compatibility and connectivity between buildings.

They also build solid foundations for producing finishing building materials which are helpful in preserving regional features.

While diversifying building materials in kind, shape and colour, they are keen on developing building materials to highlight regional features by relying on locally available raw material resources.

New architectural forms and styles are constantly created to show their regional features in all parts of the country, changing the appearance of the country more splendidly.
