I hope that Seoul can financially keep pace with these "renovations". I'm glad to be visiting/studying here, and it definitely has its pretty spots, but most of Seoul strikes me first and foremost as a bit gritty. Understandable for a fairly new city of 10 million, but still;). I'd love to come back here in 10 years and be amazed at what a place it's become.

^^ Dear aquaticko. I'm agree with you. Seoul have a two different face. Beauty and chaotic(pretty ugly). I like Seoul but frankly there is disorder coexist(illigal street vendors and Noise, comi-blocks) with splendor.
Right seoul need to Renovation.not only building but also citizenship. I'm also looking forward to after 10 years:lol:

Construction of Hangeul Museum to Start in Seoul
A museum devoted to the Korean alphabet will open in Yongsan, Seoul in the first half of 2013 in the compound of the National Museum of Korea.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will break ground for construction on July 13. Designed by architectural firm Dosiin, the new museum will have three floors and a basement and measure 11,322 sq.m. It will sit east of the main gate of the National Museum.

The layers of the building will feature Hangeul characters symbolizing the "harmony among heaven, earth and man," the script's philosophical principle. It will feature a modern interpretation of traditional eaves decorated with dancheong or traditional colorful paintwork.

There will be three exhibition areas -- a permanent exhibition hall, a hands-on experience area, and a computer room.

Exhibits will include a commentary on Hanguel, "Hunminjeongeum Haerye" by King Sejong of the Chosun Dynasty, published in 1446 to promulgate the Korean alphabet, which was invented in 1443; a copy of "The Tale of Hong Gil-dong," the first novel written in Hangeul; a copy of the Tongnip Sinmun, the first privately managed modern daily newspaper in Korea; and rare Hangeul-related materials published during the Japanese colonial period and under the U.S. military government.

The Cloud: MVRDV’s Luxury Twin Towers for Seoul are Joined by a Funky Pixelated Cluster

MVRDV recently unveiled their plans for a new luxury residential complex in Seoul, Korea, which features two twin skyscrapers joined in the middle by a pixelated cluster. Named The Cloud, the luxury high rises would be located within the Yongsan Dreamhub project. The cluster of blocks in the center provides space for public and private gardens, green roofs, and other amenities for residents. Moving the leisure areas off the ground floor up to the middle frees up space on the street level for public gardens and more green space. Natural daylighting, cross ventilation and green roofs also differentiate this project from other luxury high-rises.

Located at the entrance of the Yongsan Dreamhub, designed by Daniel Liebskind, the Cloud will be a unique high rise in the new business district. The residential complex is formed out of two skyscrapers – one 260 meters tall tower and the other – 300 meters tall. Starting at the 27th floor is a 10-story tall pixelated cluster that serves as the “cloud”. This area provides space for an atrium, a wellness centre, a conference centre, a fitness studio, various pools, restaurants and cafes. On top of the cluster is series of public and private outside spaces, patios, decks, gardens and pools. Special express elevators allow fast and direct access to the cloud.

Most towers feature a plinth located on the bottom floor, where most of the residential amenities are housed, but this tower moves those more private amenities to the middle. This frees up the ground floor for public space and gardens designed by Martha Schwartz. The Cloud offers luxury apartments ranging in size from 80m2 to 260m2 with penthouses occupying the floors above the cluster and townhouses on the floors below. Natural daylighting and cross ventilation play an important role in all of the apartments. Construction of the towers is expected to be completed by 2015.

This is a great example that a boxy building can be beautiful. :)

WOW...

current situation of (possible) future 400m+ buildings in seoul:

1. Seoul Light - 640m

disputes about the final height are not solved yet and are expected to come to a solution on May 31th. the final height may be decreased from 133 to 70 floors. inno expects a solution in between of maybe 100 floors or a cancellation of the project. if the project gets a go though, it will start rather soon with preparations already on going.

2. Triple One - 620m

The final renders of the project just got released and it is looking good for it to be built. The project is approved and preparations already started

3. Lotte World Tower - 555m

Extremely fast the core is rising and this project will soon tower above the city.

4. Hyundai Global Business Center - 540m

The project isn't confirmed to be on ice, but it looks like it is at least on hold for some more months or even cancelled already. I would be surprised to hear about it again in the near future.

5. IBD Boutique Tower - 450m

As part of the yongsan masterplan with triple one, this tower is looking good. It is approved and the final design was chosen even before triple one already. I hope to see preparations for this tower to start soon.

BIG contributes to winning design in Seoul

AS+GG unveils design for supertall mixed use towers for Seoul

The Chicago-based design firm, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, unveiled today its design for Dancing Dragons, a pair of supertall mixed-used towers for the new Yongsan International Business District in Seoul, South Korea. The buildings, which include a mix of residential, ‘officetel', and retail uses, consist of slender, sharply angled mini-towers cantilevered around a central core. This design, as described in a press release, is "contemporary yet informed by aspects of traditional Korean culture"...http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=19777

I made an SSP style diagram of Seoul:

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4zwoqOC7x1rxxjflo1_r1_1280.jpg

the tallest is now missing =( too bad it got cancelled, but even without seoul light, this city will be one of the most impressive ones in terms of skyline

I commented on this thread just the other day yet my post seems to have been removed. Why?

Actually, this thread is quite successful with lots of participation from many forumers in the world, compare to other korean buildings or cities.
Because this tower is tall enough to click and reply while the other buildings are simply ignored. Look at the other forums.
Many korean buildings on the other threads easilly dissapear soon after updating by korean forummers without replies.

Also, there are a great change on SCC
There has been significant decrease of malicious comments or replies about Korea or korean proposal of supertalls. in recent years :cheer:

I vividly remember that so many forummers came to mock korea as if nothing will turn out right anyway.


It is unfair that anybody would criticize South Korea's skyscraper ambitions. Seoul has one of the most precarious security situations in the world, and yet retains its goals for a very bright future. I think the Lotte Jamsil will be a great tower to showcase the Korean people, and as a New Yorker, I am jealous that Seoul is able to get such a huge skyscraper icon bigger than anything in the USA.

In the past, I think some of the criticism of SK's supertall skyscraper ambitions was justified, as none of the numerous proposals had panned out. Now that some of the super talls are finally rising, those criticisms are no longer valid.

so, do you think the plot will still be occupied by a megatall, or do you think they will propose a smaller building now that seoul lite got removed

Amazing projects! :drool:

Pentominium / Murphy/Jahn

Chicago-based architects Murphy/Jahn have unveiled their design for a 320-meter-tall skyscraper in the Yongsan International Business District of Seoul. Designed as two-towers under one roof, the steel and glass lattice structure is one of fifteen skyscrapers planned for the global city that was master planned by Daniel Libeskind and commissioned by South Korean developer DreamHub. Consisting of mostly high end residential units, the two Pentominium towers will provide residents with exclusive city views and four-storey skyparks, while attempting to recreate the spacious and private feel often associated with detached housing.http://www.archdaily.com/237820/pentominium-murphyjahn/

Block H of the Yongsan International Business District (YIBD) / Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates

Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) shared with us their design proposal for Block H of the Yongsan International Business District (YIBD) in Seoul. The goal of YIBD is to create a new symbol for the 21st Century city; a new urban center that will include international business, living, entertainment, and shopping. Scheduled for completion in 2016, Block H consists of a luxury 5-Star hotel and high-end serviced residential building containing 167,225 square meters of space. http://www.archdaily.com/242045/block-h-of-the-yongsan-international-business-district-yibd-kohn-pedersen-fox-associates/

Diagonal Tower / SOM

SOM’s new 64-storey Diagonal Tower to be located in the developing commercial and mixed-use Yongsan International Business District in the heart of Seoul, South Korea, exudes a modern take on structural expressionism. The tower progressively addresses the critical issues associated with skyscraper design in an iconic and refined manner. From structural and energy efficiency to reduced construction costs that the tower must meet, SOM have strove to integrate these aspects holistically into the overall aesthetics.

Rising to 343 meters, the diagonal structure serves more than visual stimuli. Somewhat similar to Norman Foster’s Hearst Tower in New York, the diagonal megaframe reduces the amount of steel required by over 25% when compared to conventionally framed buildings. In addition the non-linear vertical surface mitigates wind loading and vortices. Primary structural support is achieved via 4 piers at the corners of the building – which in turn opens up the interior lobby and atrium.

Passive environmental control strategies employed within and on the façade of the tower include sunshades that are positioned according to their orientation – horizontal, vertical, and diagonal – thus, mitigating heat gain in the summer and permitting direct sunlight during winter months. Atypical of skyscraper curtain walls is the triple pane glazing utilized, instead of the standard dual pane seen on the majority of towers. A critical decision in choosing this type of glazing stemmed from SOM’s goal to meet Seoul Green Guideline criteria. Internally, the building incorporates a chilled beam system whereby, thermally active hydronics transfer heat and cooling instead of air. The resultant system surpasses traditional air driven systems both in efficiency and human occupant comfort.

The interesting mixed program, which includes retail, amenities and 700 compact living spaces, has resulted in a textured facade that responds to contextual issues such as sight lines and expose to natural light.

Site strategy and building placement were of utmost importance for the project, as the surrounding buildings and natural terrain pose opportunities for the designers. Since the project rests upon a hill, JDS has allowed the building to define a courtyard that opens toward the natural terrain, allowing the nature qualities to become an integrated part of the site as well as the new building.

The building’s shifted facade creates a special identity for the whole building complex – “a lively and exclusive appearance that becomes the trademark for this unique building.” The shifting also affords each unit space for a terrace, and the cascading effect of the offset space encourages communication between the neighbors and strengthens the feeling of community within the building.

Pair of Velo Towers in Seoul design revealed by Asymptote Architecture

Yet another ambitious project at the Yongsan International Business District in Seoul has been unveiled. New York-based Asymptote Architecture has revealed its plans for a pair of residential towers. The two buildings will sit neatly at the Yongsan Dreamhub development site, arranged as a series of stacked and rotated volumes angled specifically to take in the best views over the Yongsan Park and Han River.

The two towers are connected by a skybridge which is suspended 30 storeys above ground level, providing the residents of both structures with fitness and recreation centres, communal lounges, pools, spas and eateries, as well as a landscaped sky garden. A raised plinth at ground level also offers communal facilities in a light-filled atrium. Residential communities are grouped in six- to eight-storey sections in rotated units which Asymptote Architecture suggests separates The Velo Towers from the typical residential skyscraper concept.

The practice explains: “By breaking down the scale and massing of the two distinct towers into interconnected circular and oblong volumes, the Velo project proposes an alternative architectural and urbanistic response to the repetitive and monolithic austerity of conventional tower design. The recombination of the typical tower form into a new horizontal and vertical configuration enables the formation of a socially engaging and dynamic environmental response.”

Each of the 500 individual apartments vary in size from 45 sq m to 82 sq m and have been deliberately designed to enable the integration of prefabricated plug-in interior components. The external facades have also been conceptualised with prefab parts, including custom moulded composite shells coated in pearlescent automotive paint.

Several other designs for structures at the Yongsan International Business District suggest similar concepts, with BIG’s Cross # Towers and MVRDV’s The Cloud both proposing a pair of towers with connecting skybridges. The latter has attracted large volumes of negative publicity as many critics and members of the public suggested that it was reminiscent of the Twin Towers during the 9/11 attacks in New York.

NADAAA interprets unique building typology as civic pavilion and landscape threshold

In South Korea, the majority of housing is developed by one of five corporate families. Apartment buildings are not designed as individual structures but as multiples, such that a new housing project may be conceived as 20 or 30 towers forming an entire neighbourhood. Thus, the study, design and sales of housing have developed into a discipline serving a growing middle class with amenities and technologies that are significantly sophisticated.

The client wished to invest in a centre that not only contains sales offices with full-scale construction model units, but also a variety of public amenities that are purposed for the use of the community, including: art galleries, restaurants, cafés, auditoria and other functions that can become part of the public realm.

Distinguishing their brand among other model home galleries, they wished to create an iconic spectacle within the urban landscape, evoking a status more commonly held by public institutions such as museums or libraries. From an architectural perspective, a model home gallery balances two forces; the first, a public ground that activates the street; the second an economical black box above that houses the model homes.

In concept, this building, an evocatively rendered black box perched atop of a dynamic glass plinth, responds to both its physical setting and the client’s desire to evince a brand that is inspired by nature. Located at a significant vehicular intersection to the northeast, the transparent plinth displays the spectacle of the activities within, while creating a threshold to the park to the southwest. Continuity of the ground plane is established through the extension of the city’s granite sidewalk into the building.

The reading of this public space gains expression through an undulating ceiling that demarcates various programmatic and infrastructural logics of the amenities. The auditorium not only hosts closed events – plays, cinema, and symposia – but also more open events. Flexibility of programmatic use is achieved through vertical layers: a diaphanous metal curtain, a plywood sheathing, and a large sliding door that produces a large proscenium. The voluminous and elusive black box atop is established as an iconic landmark in a developing part of the city.

Requiring very few openings, the interior is in dialogue with the exterior world only through the 'slit-windows' encrypted within the horizontal louvers, further softening the figure of the volume. The building base ascends and descends according to the programmatic logic of the public amenities and its roof’s folds harvest rainwater that recharges the adjacent pond. From a distance, the overall image evokes an echo of the unique skyline of Seoul, a syncopated composition of staggered buildings and mountains.

Status: Concept design

This project is Restoring Kungbok palace of Seoul

5+ design provides new public area in Dragon Valley Retail District, Seoul

The Dragon Valley Retail District, planned by 5+design, provides an inviting public environment filled with outdoor gathering places, shops and entertainment at the centre of the Yongsan International Business District (IBD). The ambitious 34 million sq ft, mixed-use district in Seoul is being developed by Dreamhub. “The design carves a canyon into the district to create an uninterrupted, subterranean, pedestrian thoroughfare from the Yongsan Train Station to the Han River,” said 5+design partner Michael Ellis. “With its diversity of environments and offerings, its sense of scale and connection, Dragon Valley balances the iconic singularity and verticality of the overall district.”

Masterplanned by architect Daniel Libeskind, the Yongsan IBD encompasses ten city blocks and includes a collection of high-rise residences and commercial buildings designed by a host of renowned international architects. The skyscraper-filled district is organised into neighbourhoods centered around and connected by an urban public space animated by retail, entertainment and leisure - Dragon Valley Retail District. The underground city of retail, restaurants and commercial spaces is presented as individual districts of distinct character linked with lushly landscaped gardens and fountains and a network pedestrian-friendly passageways.

“While the most impressive image of the Yongsan IBD may be its incredible high-rise skyline, the project will be truly experienced by the public at the ground plan and within the below-grade shops and restaurants of the Dragon Valley,” said Tim Magill, the 5+design partner responsible for the design of the project. “In order to navigate such a huge project, the design is divided into a series of unique districts, accessed by a hierarchy of outdoor arcades, indoor malls and courts, to create a memorable,human scale.”

Dragon Valley Retail District comprises three main areas - Platinum Street Collection, University Department Store Zone and Sports Active Life District - all surrounding a dramatic 10,000 sq m sunken garden of lush landscape, water features, outdoor restaurants, amphitheaters and public gathering areas. Each district is expressed as clusters of buildings nested together with individual facades that give identity and distinction. The eclectic hill town character of the district, with both contemporary and traditional buildings integrated into a dramatic vertical landscape, invites exploration.

Seoul Memorial Park / Haeahn Architecture

Architects: Haeahn Architecture
Location: Seoul
Project Year: 2012
Photographs: Park Young-chae
Project Area: 18,000 sqm
Site Area: 36,000 sqm
Client: Seoul Municipal Facilities Management Corporation

Secluded by mountain hills from a bustling highway gateway, Seoul Memorial Park rests in a serene valley area of the Woo-Myun Mountain on the outskirts of Seoul, South Korea. Seoul Memorial Park is a crematorium constructed in harmony with the natural terrain of the site, which previously lent calming scenic views to meditative passing-by hikers, and is now converted to a sanctuary for solemn rituals concluding life’s journeys.

Canvas for Land Art

To overcome the unwelcomed response from the community, this crematorium was sought to be a “non-erected” building. Instead, Seoul Memorial Park emerges as a form of “land art” sculpted into the existing topography with a flowing array of architectural forms and motifs. Concaved at the center of the Park, lies a courtyard encompassed by a series of ritual spaces devoted to separate functions. These spatial layers bordering the courtyard resonate from a distance with the surrounding mountain trails and ridges. The 2-storey high crematorium facility configured in the curvilinear belt along the courtyard has roof structures linked in the way flower petals pinwheel one another, punctuated by a reflective pool at the very heart of the courtyard.

Comfort in the Final Journey

Families in bereavement take the final journey of parting as they encircle the courtyard along a path reminiscent of spiritual spaces with vaulted ceilings and indirect lighting. Towards the cremation alcove, the ceiling rises drastically as a clearstory above a triforum. Upon completion of the path, a meandering garden comforts the bereft. As the water from the mountain flows down and gives life to the garden, one might be reminded of the transfiguration of sorrows in praise of the harmony in nature. The garden shimmers with sunlight, whispers with snowfalls, and dances with spring rains. Season by season, tranquility is discovered and the spirit is renewed. Just as nature was dissolved into a building to rest in the valley, Seoul Memorial Park was embodied in a piece of land art to celebrate life and transfigure sorrows.

In South Korea, the study, design, and sales of housing has developed into a discipline serving an ascendant middle class with amenities and technologies that are significantly sophisticated. The “model home gallery,” a nexus for consumerist desires and corporate strategy, not only contains sales offices with model homes, but also a variety of public amenities for the adjacent community. Art galleries, restaurants, cafés, auditoria, and other publically open spaces foster favorable relationships with area residents, thus expanding the customer base and fueling the housing economy.

An active housing market has produced a competitive frenzy resulting in architectural spectacles as the dominant approach to these initiatives: highly themed icons and surfaces that masque what are otherwise typologically simple diagrams. The organizations of these buildings normatively require a public base, supporting a black box of exhibition space for full-scale models above. The design of this model home gallery is an evocatively rendered black box perched atop of a dynamic glass plinth. The transparent plinth displays the spectacle of the activities within, while creating an enclosed public space with views into the park.

Continuity of the ground plane is established through the extension of granite sidewalk into the building. The reading of this public space gains expression through an undulating ceiling that demarcates various programmatic and infrastructural logics of the amenities. The voluminous and elusive black box atop is established as an iconic landmark in a developing part of the city; its interior in dialogue with the exterior world only through the “slit-windows” encrypted within the horizontal louvers, further softening the figure of the volume. From a distance, the overall image evokes an echo of the unique skyline of Seoul, a syncopated composition of staggered buildings and mountains.

Mine too. I work around there and live in Anguk. Great part of the city with so much construction happening now but so little information available in English.

I can think of at least 5 large under construction projects in the immediate vicinity of Gwanghwamun Stn. but none of the sites display any renders or info (either in Korean or Eng.)

Any info you can provide on the Gwanghwamun projects much appreciated :cheers:

I see. Thanks. But between this building and Kyobo Building there is another large construction site which is just starting to rise. Steel at about level 4 maybe? Seems to be called D Tower but no renders available on site. Any ideas what that will be, inno?

Last sunday i go to the Gwanghwamun then i saw that tower up to 7floors!!!

:banana::banana:

^^ Wow, another big, fat twin tower. That will be three twins in a row lined up down Jongnoro behind Kyobo building? The completed older looking one, the new twin nearing completion now and this one just starting to rise? Fantastic. :cheers:

I might try and grab some snaps tomorrow on my lunch break. As you mentioned this one is really starting to grow.

Snapped this with my phone a few mins ago from around Jonggak Stn. We can see the near completed twin in the foreground (hard to tell it's a twin though.) The older looking completed twin behind. Then in the background between the second twin and Kyobo Bldg we can see the crane for the new D Tower. Should be one dense stretch of road when completed. Looks like they're also constructing a park between the nearest twin and the second, older one? Anyone have details on this?

^^ As far as I know, it'll be another new building, not park.

anyway, keep it up Sister Ray, I'd like to see more!

Looks like they're also constructing a park
Nah, parks in Korea are only ever on land too steep to build on :-P

Four season hotel in Seoul. In front of Gwanghwamun Now U/C

Great set of updates and another mystery solved. Have been wondering about this one for a while. Looked like a big site and always walk past it to go to Homeplus Express. Looks good and pleased to see it looks like it involves a street upgrade too. :cheers:

Also, good to see a render for the 26fl hotel next to Signature Tower by Cheonggyecheon. I was walking up the stream yesterday afternoon and noticed what a fugly old tower was on site at present. This will make a great replacement.

Was walking around Gwanghwamun this afternoon. Took a few more phone shots.

Here is a shot of a new Xii apartment block which seems to be rising right next to the previously mentioned D Tower we can see in the background.

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m280/photosage/IMG_20130504_131335_zps51bbd5ae.jpg (http://s106.photobucket.com/user/photosage/media/IMG_20130504_131335_zps51bbd5ae.jpg.html)

Here is the D Tower's current progress.

Also managed to get a peek at the current state of the Four Seasons Hotel site Inno mentioned as they had opened the gate for a concrete pour. Security guard shouted at me when I took this. :lol:

Mussoda, here is the park I was talking about. Looks like a big underground development with a park at street level? Gwanghwamun Underground Plaza? Is that right? Just my guess.. :)

Finally, we have the Yonhap news agency tower just opposite the Japanese Embassy (Hence the police bus)

Beautiful Spring day in Seoul today, btw :cheers:

^^
Appreciated Sister Ray
These are breathtaking shots! What a amazing compliation photos.
All of them my best favorites U/C project in CBD.:lol:

btw security guard shout to you? What a ruddness. Why korean easily angry against to others.
That is not either "area51" or military post!

thank you for the great pics, SR, I waited!! :banana:

mm, I guess you read the advertisement of Xii apartment on the fence. but afaik it's not Xii apartment, but 'olleh-plex' which is the second office of KT, right behind the original office on the Gwanghwamun plaza,
actually olleh-plex is quite famous because the architect is Renzo Piano, if you know korean language, this article will be helpful. http://www.etoday.co.kr/news/section/newsview.php?TM=news&SM=2308&idxno=579632
but frankly it's not my taste, kk.. rathely, the former renderings were better.

I think it's an advertisement or promotion of Gwanghwamun plaza with Underground development, actually, for the right info, you'd better take a look at the notice panel on the fence. like this : http://gall.dcinside.com/city/405778
(or search "청진 8지구" at naver.com)
ps. the render is like : http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=102&oid=003&aid=0003063564 (don't know how it is going now, maybe changed or not)



anyway, there are so many developments on the CBD area as citizens can't keep up with,
so your pics are very helpful! thanks again. :cheers:

btw security guard shout to you? What a ruddness. Why korean easily angry against to others.

lol, inno, how do you know that the security guy got angry or not just with 'shouting'?
It might be just warning, otherwise, if he really got angry, the guy is assh*le.

very very nice!! :)

I think it's an advertisement or promotion of Gwanghwamun plaza with Underground development, actually, for the right info, you'd better take a look at the notice panel on the fence. like this :

Really? You mean the Plaza connected to the Gwanghwamun subway stn.? That's weird. Then does anyone know what this site will be? It's just next to the twin tower nearing completion in front of the D Tower site. It has many images of a plaza/park area and some underground development on it. So, I assumed that's what they were building. It is under construction now. What does 지하공공보도 translate to in English? I just guessed "underground plaza" but my Korean is poor. Anyway, I hope it is the park/plaza in the images. It'd be a really nice urban rest spot in the heard of downtown.

I wish Korean construction companies would put more info up on their sites. At least a render of the project.

Today CBD of seoul.

GS Tower looking great. Does anyone know what is happening next to this site? There is a construction fence up with Shinsegye Construction written on it but there seems to be a small black glass tower already in place. Again, the fence has park-like renders on it but I don't know what this means as there is no actual information, just images.
Any ideas, guys?
