In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, designers are called "political artists".
Because every dot and line of their designs reflect the ideas and policies of the Workers' Party of Korea.
On February 27, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un gave precious instructions to be regarded as guidelines in architectural design.
He said: The design of an architectural structure should properly combine modern character with national identity while prioritizing the defending of people's life and safety and the promotion of their well-being, and reflect the great ideology and ennobling political creed of our times that aspire after higher ideals and civilization. In this sense, it can be said that designers are "political artists" who draw the ideas and policies of the WPK in reality.
Construction is an essential work to create material wealth and lay a foundation of life. Therefore, it is considered to be important and carried on dynamically in every country. But the architectural structures reflect the political idea of a country concerned according to whom the party and the state carry on the construction for.
In our society where the people are masters of everything and everything serves them, the construction of public buildings, industrial establishments and facilities is consistent with the efforts to provide the people with more wonderful working and living conditions and realize their cultural and aesthetic requirements.
Today, our Party and government expend a large share of the state budget in major construction projects for improving the people's living, and build monumental structures across the country.
On April 15, the inaugural ceremony of 10,000 flats at the third stage in the Hwasong area took place with splendour.
As a result, the Hwasong area, a new urban district making modernized Pyongyang of today give a striking contrast to itself of the past which had undergone changes for several decades since the founding of the state, has presented its full appearance as a centre and model capable of leading the existing areas of the capital city to civilization and efflorescence by providing it with the political, economic and cultural functions befitting a fully-fledged administrative district.
The high level of urban culture intended by our Party is reflected on the blueprints drawn by "political artists".
