Designs like these are beginning to look boring.

another project in Korea?.
i doubt many of these will be built. :D

looks great

post some renderings:crazy:

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/8462/24887507ec0.jpg


Maybe the rendering is not doing the design any justice; otherwise, this is one boring looking project...

hope they'll really start with it in 2008

doesn't look bad, though it could look better
But good for seoul!

I like the design, simple yet impressive.

Hope this gets built!

Nice height...

very boring and it wont get built...so who cares how it looks!?!?!?!

It's good filler when they get taller buildings around it.

this project was proposed several years ago
im disappointed by the new design.. the previous one was much better

they don't look that bad

it is boxy but it looks still very good i think

It's good filler when they get taller buildings around it.

WOW this one is already damn tall ! Some 700 m ,900 m skyscraper are welcome around this one :lol:

i hope they can do it...

Nice design!

please Change 540m into 650m(150 floor)

not yet. ^^
not finalized yet which will be chosen between one 640m and twin 330s

i hope they'll go with the 640m tower :)

Nice, nice, very nice project ! claps !!!

minimal yet classic, its ok for me.

i hope they'll go with the 640m tower :)

no, that's taking it to far, the design is shitty. 540m is just fine

Taller = Better :D

true, but if the design is not great there's no point going higher

nice

deleted

Not very original.As someone said,these kind of buildings are begginig to look boring.
It doesn't look like it has more that half a kilometer in the renders.

I absolutely love Seoul.

for me the design is normal but anyway i like the height!!

http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/8300/20080111104520811051gz1.gif
서울시가 상암 디지털미디어시티(DMC) 개발 촉진을 위해 랜드마크빌딩 용지 3만7289㎡(1만1299평)을 동시에 공급한다.




서울시는 상암DMC 랜드마크빌딩 용지에 대한 자세한 사업설명회를 오는 18일 오후 3시에 상암택지개발지구내에 있는 DMC홍보관에서 개최할 예정이라고 11일 밝혔다.




공급신청자는 사업신청서류 접수일 현재 '지방자치단체를 당사자로 하는 계약에 관한 법률'에 의해 입찰참가 자격이 제한된 자를 제외한 국내·외 개인, 법인 또는 설립예정법인이어야 한다. 단독 또는 컨소시엄 형태도 사업 신청이 가능하다.




사업신청자가 컨소시엄인 경우 컨소시엄에 건설회사를 포함하는 경우에는 건설교통부가 공시하는 종합시공능력평가순위 10위 이내 2개사까지 포함할 수 있다.




제출된 사업계획서는 심사·평가 후 우선협상대상자를 선정, 5월 말에 발표할 예정이다. 사업계획서 제출은 4월30일까지 제출하면 된다.




이번에 공급되는 랜드마크빌딩 용지는 최고 640m까지 건축 가능하다.




시는 상암 DMC를 세계 최고의 첨단정보단지로 조성하기 위해 초고속 통신망 구축, 교통체계 개선(인천공항철도 개통, 경의선 연결, 신교통수단 도입 등), DMS(Digital media street) 거리조성, R&D 센터 유치 등 인프라 구축 작업을 적극 추진하고 있다.




시 관계자는 "상암 DMC는 디지털기술과 미디어 산업, 연구소가 집적된 첨단산업 클러스터로 조성될 것"이라며 "자족기능을 가진 미래형 도시이자 차세대 미디어 산업의 메카로 만들어질 것이다"고 말했다.

640m :banana:, please let this be the final height :)

A 640m-tall building, the Landmark Building, is going to be built within Digital Media City(DMC) in Sangamdong, Seoul. once the project is completed, the new structure is going to be the tallest building in Korea.

Seoul Metropolitan Government said Tuesday that the Capital Defense Command(CDC) has recently approved of the city government's plan to construct a 100m-tall spire on the top of the building(540m).

In fact, the Landmark Building to be built in Sangamdong is 20m taller than the one expected to be erected in Yongsan International Business District. The spire will pick up broadcast signals to air TV and radio programs.
After thorough consideration, the CDC has concluded that the spire wouldn't cause problems for it to use air routes and radar.

SMG selects priority bidders in the middle of this month. The project on the site of 30,443㎡ is scheduled to break ground in 2009 and be completed in 2013.





The spire size seems a bit too exaggerated :ohno:

And the International Business Center ?

상암DMC 랜드마크 설명회 열기 ‘후끈’

145개 건설업체 참가…활발한 합종연횡 예고


용산 이어 이번엔 상암DMC 랜드마크?


서울시가 지난 18일 개최한 마포구 상암동 상암 디지털미디어시티(DMC) 랜드마크 타워 사업설명회에 국내 초대형 건설업체를 비롯해 무려 145개 업체(관계자 350명)가 참가해 뜨거운 열기를 내뿜었다. 이날 설명회에는 국내 ‘빅10’건설업체 가운데 대우 삼성 현대 GS 대림 등 9개 업체가 참여했으며, 은행.보험.종합금융 등 재무적 투자가도 상당수에 달했다. 이에 따라 오는 4월 30일 우선협상자 선정을 위한 공모 마감일까지 컨소시엄 구성을 위한 업체 간 합종연횡이 치열하게 전개될 전망이다.


상암DMC 랜드마크 타워는 3만7289㎡의 부지에 용적률 1000%(인센티브 포함 최대 1200% 안팎)를 적용해 130층 내외(100m 첨탑 포함 640m)로 지어지며 호텔, 오피스, 상업시설, 주상복합이 들어선다.


서울시가 공모지침을 통해 시공능력 10위권 업체 중 2개사까지만 한 컨소시엄에 참여할 수 있도록 제한함에 따라 10위권 건설업체를 중심으로 3~5개의 컨소시엄이 구성될 것으로 전망된다. 현재 대우건설과 GS건설 등이 적극적인 참여의지를 보이고 있다. 이처럼 건설업체들이 상암 랜드마크 타워 수주에 관심을 갖는 것은 사업비가 2조~3조원에 달하는 데다 초고층 실적을 쌓을 수 있는 좋은 기회이기 때문이다.


하지만 사업성이 불투명해 실제 공모참여 컨소시엄 수는 이보다 적을 수도 있다. 사업설명회에 참여한 한 업체의 관계자는 “상암DMC 랜드마크 타워의 경우 3.3㎡당 분양가가 2000만원은 돼야 수익성을 맞출 수 있는데 상암DMC 내 기존 오피스 분양가가 1000만원 선이어서 여의치 않은 실정”이라고 설명했다.


앞서 서울시는 당초 800%였던 용적률을 1000%로 상향조정하고 20%는 주거용으로 지을 수 있도록 했다. 또 공모심사 시 땅값 비중을 10%(사업계획 90%)로 제한해 땅값 부담을 최소화했다. 랜드마크 타워 부지 예정가는 3049억원이다. 나머지 90%는 기업평가, 사업의 실현가능성, 개발계획, 완공 후 활성화 계획 등을 평가한다.


서울시는 오는 4월 30일 공모를 마감한 뒤 5월 30일 우선협상대상 사업자를 선정할 예정이다. 완공예정 시점은 2013년이다.

Last year, a consortium of Hyundai Industrial Development sipyeong rank among the top seven companies, except for six large construction companies are pojindwae. Since last year, the joint participation in the recent mosaekhae on these companies, including Daewoo Construction and Daelim, only two companies participating shares, the remaining four companies in the post-construction company and seolyeonhyu shortly before chamyeoki reportedly signed the relevant agreement.




Sangam DMC profitable companies are small enough, the performance of a skyscraper, let's go for it without any competition to build consensus. In particular, "After the establishment of a special purpose corporation (SPC) is a private business enterprise sigonggwon general form of a private dogeup collusion is not a problem" authoritative interpretation of the law firm associated with the city of Seoul is also reportedly obtained.




The Seoul Metropolitan Government has selected operators in the form of equity participation dogeup simple construction without a regulation to limit the eopchesu until he explained that he could not consider.




The Seoul Metropolitan Government to promote economic hanmuncheol coffin, "SPC is responsible for carrier selection, because after all the rights (of the large construction companies) to stop participating in the construction dogeup no legal basis for sanctions," but "the selection of poems bidder gwajeongman first place, but (whether collusion a) The government shall follow the relevant regulations, "he said.




The Fair Trade Commission is "participating in a consortium of two companies with a simple dogeup competition between the four companies that do not participate in the pre-condition for appointment (conditional), and in return receive shares traded future construction activity to identify possible collusion." he said.




The FTC decision is just fixing and fixing the problem after the first bidder chosen in order to formulate relevant evidence has to be a priority.




The FTC said, "to know whether it applied to construction companies are fixing arrangement or related materials disposed ³ rihal hyeopyakseo such grounds is highly likely," "collusion with the regulations in order to secure a key piece of evidence," he said.




Construction experts say the collusion of the pre-construction costs associated with the increase of its bid price hikes caused harm fairness said.




One expert "Sangam DMC project is an important project to build domestic choegocheung landmark buildings, as has been customary in a bid to break up more advanced system that needs to be settled," "" collusion and monopoly, dongnamgwon development issues, such as lobbying for a bid The government is a fundamental measure to be prepared, "he emphasized.




Landmark Tower is 37,289 ㎡ Sangam DMC (11,279 pyeong) 1000% of the land in the floor area ratio (up to 1200 percent, including incentives) is applied, and around 130 floor jieojinda (100 m steeple included 640m).

The city opened April 18, a business briefing on April 30 and May 30 magamhu conspiracy operators to select priority will be to negotiate. The plans are to be completed in 2013.

The "Old Design" please let it be true!!!:cheers: built it!

yes let hope we'll have a good design

can't imagine any better design for it than the old!

Sorry, I'm saying in korean a little while,..
this poster is not good at English..

아래 포스팅을 보세요. 님을 비꼬는 거 보이지 않나요?
차라리, 한글 원문을 올리고 그 중 핵심적인 몇 문장만이라도 님 스스로 영어로 번역해보세요. 그럼 님 영어 공부에도 도움 될거고, 아래 포스팅처럼 비꼬는 일도 당하지 않을겁니다..

Wow! Despite all the rotdedeung, did they eventually ttanaegi the deadline? Now who would have expected THAT?

@ Peloso ; you're cynical. lol, anyway, don't misunderstand me for this quoting,.. I just advised korea2002 about his english,.

@ Peloso ; you're cynical. lol, anyway, don't misunderstand me for this quoting,.. I just advised korea2002 about his english,.I was just joking. Actually I understand not everyone has the spare time to learn english, also I don't believe english should be THE "lingua franca". I'm hoping Esperanto will have more chances in the future, or better, other medium-languages that are more acceptable to different cultures, Asian ones included. I also hope to get to learn Korean one day...
To get back to the topic: so the date for the start of the construction will be determined end of may? Did I get it right?

Seoul landmark building projects sangamdong DMC consortium between the two strands are caught in the competition.

Construction and Daelim is mainly treated as a large construction companies' consortium, Seoul landmark 'Macquarie Bank and Kookmin, Shinhan Bank and Samsung Life Insurance, mainly composed of US-Korea are preparing to Parsons' National Bank - Macquarie Consortium (tentative name)' challenge pushed.

Geumyungsa act of domestic, construction companies, hotels and retailers, design firms, and whether to participate in the two consortiums which side is fierce hapjongyeonhoeng and singyeongjeon being.

◆银people - Macquarie Consortium inauguration =

According to the related industry, and the 27th National Australia Macquarie Bank, KorAm Bank Parsons, mainly old people - Macquarie Consortium was recently launched.

Construction firm did not participate live. Seoul is currently being considered whether a landmark participation in a consortium with 10 major construction companies pursuing ways to attract them to the sources. Parsons will be responsible for managing the construction of the Korea-US.

Consortium official said, "The ratio of financial investors led by construction companies to increase landmark construction projects led by non-financial plans," "Construction costs are relative to the proposed consortium ㎡ 3.3 per 900 million won to 12 million won less possible," said business confidence in the selection .

◆ large construction companies in the consortium tension =
Daewoo Construction and Daelim 10 domestic construction companies, including most of the doctors participating in the consortium, said Landmark National Bank says in Seoul - the inauguration of the Macquarie Consortium giulyimyeo tactics to attract large number of domestic and foreign famous geumyungsa them to financial investors.

Landmark consortium initially treated with Daelim Construction Seoul shares this investment, Samsung, POSCO Construction, GS Construction, Hyundai Construction and rumors of a post-mortem dogeup turn agreed to leave.

Once the consortium has the same suspicions uisikhae treatment towards strands to participate in the construction and daerimsaneopman reportedly caught.

Seoul ball to seal the landmark consortium also attract financial investors.

, As well as domestic financial companies Lehman Brothers and Morgan Stanley, Standard Chartered Bank and other foreign investors, and also participate in the Marriott and Ritz Carlton plan, Lotte Shopping also being considered.

Consortium official said, "compared to a consortium of financial investors due to the number of competing companies are responsible for large-scale construction can be completed because there is a lot more competitive," he said.

Meanwhile, the consortium until recently participated in the landmark consortium sihaengsa Bridge City National Bank - to join the Macquarie consortium's sensitive to react. Within the consortium plans to promote various important information about the various competing with a consortium of omgyeogan apparent claim of a breach of contract.

Seoul next month, 30 carriers and conspiracy after May 30 plans to select the priority bidder. Sangam is a landmark tower by 2013 sangamdong 37,289 ㎡ 1000% in the floor area ratio (up to 1200%), 130-story home and abroad applied jieojinda height. 100m spire containing a height of up to 640m, the highest domestic choegocheung expected to be written into the buildings. No hotels, office towers, residential facilities, and commercial facilities will attract. Cost an estimated three trillion won.

Maybe the rendering is not doing the design any justice; otherwise, this is one boring looking project...

Maybe so, but in Seoul a lot of the buildings are look-a-like clones or similar, and are verrry boring but it seems to work for the city, so i think this will fit in well.

World famous architect of the complex development of the local governments are increasingly participating in the design and baljucheo raendeumakeuseong is to give high scores, but also because the design itself is a factor that also works to improve feasibility.

Interesting backround information.

But do you think that all these Projects ever gonna be build, Korea2002.
It would be great though and I would be happy about it, but I'm sceptic.

http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/9641/sdfsdfwy1.jpg

wow, looks really great......maybe it looks similar to sears but that doesn't matter to me :)

I always loved the Sears Tower, And I love this design.. But Sears Tower = Sears Tower.. No one can beat it.

i'd rather choose the old rendering though.

I agree. This one looks like a mixture of the Sears and the Burj, not very original.

I would like to see an actual building go up first before I see another render from Korea, but this is a very nice design

Older one is much better. This one looks smaller because of wider base. But hope the president doesn't make one of those stupid decisions again

http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/9641/sdfsdfwy1.jpg

Any more info on this? Did the location change or new height added?

Hope the tower gets 11 metres added on to it. It will beat the shanghai centre by 1 metre in height to become the tallest skyscraper in east asia.

Awesome, but this design deserves some lower neighbours.

^^I think its okay this way. It might become the symbol of the city if it stands alone. :D

yes, agree....will look even better without towers arround it

from 130 to 133 floor

From the seoul digital media city main website (06/12):

A 640m-tall building, the Landmark Building, is going to be built within Digital Media City(DMC) in Sangamdong, Seoul. once the project is completed, the new structure is going to be the tallest building in Korea.

Seoul Metropolitan Government said Tuesday that the Capital Defense Command(CDC) has recently approved of the city government's plan to construct a 100m-tall spire on the top of the building(540m).

In fact, the Landmark Building to be built in Sangamdong is 20m taller than the one expected to be erected in Yongsan International Business District. The spire will pick up broadcast signals to air TV and radio programs.
After thorough consideration, the CDC has concluded that the spire wouldn't cause problems for it to use air routes and radar.

SMG selects priority bidders in the middle of this month. The project on the site of 30,443㎡ is scheduled to break ground in 2009 and be completed in 2013.

it looks like one big dick

it looks like one big dick

well if anyone had dick like this, you wouldn't need ribbed.

I am a new rookie on this forum and I am looking forward to sharing thoughts with you.

Any towers with the "land mark" status should not only inspire visual awesomeless but also reflect the culture in which it is being built. The rendering has enough visual intrigue but fails to harmonize itself with its culture or the surroundings. This design seems to have come from nowhere.

I have been informed that the city of Seoul is on a big plan to attract more foreign tourists. My question to the desginer is, what does this rendering says about Korea and Seoul? I do not see any at all.

I have been informed that the city of Seoul is on a big plan to attract more foreign tourists. My question to the desginer is, what does this rendering says about Korea and Seoul? I do not see any at all.

this is only the beginning...

actually this is not the big plan to attract more foreign tourists. This project has been around for a while and thank God it is finally in the stage of starting!!

Anways, the Han River Renaissance project is the real big project that Seoul is undergoing which will change Han River's riverfront into a multi-purpose area with residences, landscaped parks, opera houses, river taxis, landmarks, etc. I think Seoul already has a lot of foreign tourists coming in and out, it's just that it hasn't gotten much attention yet in the "western" world (thanks to American TV like CNN ALWAYS talking about nuclear boms in North Korea around the clock -_-). It's so irritating for me to go into a bookstore (Barnes and Nobles, Borders) in the US and I find like only 3-4 books on South Korea and like 20+books on Japan and Tokyo...sometimes the USA needs to understand that there is much more to Asia than China and Japan and that Mexico and Europe is not the only place to go on a vacation in today's world. To sum it up, Korea is a pretty popular destination for people in China, Taiwan, Japan, and other southeast countries for the Korean Wave, Food, Shopping, Sightseeing, and the general atmosphere.

I also agree, brian.
In my opinion, the Han River project is more admirable than the several landmark towers planned for the city. Also, the funny thing is that I like the surrounding green area of the DMC tower more than the tower itself.

wooo looks like a big d&ck cut the two balls jaja just kiddin is a espectacular height good for SEOUL

Stunning high tower but... i miss the top. This desgin asks for a top or spire!

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8820/ccccgk2.jpg

The building is little to bulky, a littlebit more refined end it will be perfect! :cheers:.

I don't mean to be cynical against artist's originality and effort but there seems to be a couple of issues with this design. The cost per space efficiency seems to be the biggest issue with this one. Secondly, the building seems to be no more interesting than the Washington monument in DC. Personally I would really love to see the first proposed rendering made to reality.

I have to agree with you here too BOM. I also like the surrounding green areas around the towers lol. The Yongsan Dream Tower's surroundings (from the renderings) look pretty good too. I also like how Seoul has a mix of very "countryside-like" atmosphere (around far western and far eastern Seoul near Sangam (small islands with trees, birds, greenery) and W Hotel Seoul area (plenty of trees, mountains, flowers, parks) with combined with a vibrant modern megacity atmosphere of Gangnam and CBD. :banana:

Yeah, Yeah, I like it too, But strictly speaking, I feel koreans love such "countryside-like" atmosphere feeling too much,.. they even plant trees at every corner inside city core obsessionally,.. and don't clear sands on the road and sidewalks cleanly, I guess it's heritage of agricultural era sentiments.

BTW seoul is one of the least green city in the world, I mean that there are least amount of content of vegetation in the city. You hardly see any trees and no grass to play football on, mostly sand.

please no spire on this one, would destroy the design IMO

BTW seoul is one of the least green city in the world, I mean that there are least amount of content of vegetation in the city. You hardly see any trees and no grass to play football on, mostly sand.

True, I couldn't see a green field either football (soccer for Americans) or just open field in high schools...just sand @_@

BTW seoul is one of the least green city in the world, I mean that there are least amount of content of vegetation in the city. You hardly see any trees and no grass to play football on, mostly sand.

According to the 2006 environment white book released by the Seoul Metropolis government, as of 2005, total green area (or 'park area' as written in the text) of Seoul is 164.22 sq. km, which is 27% of the total city area (605.40 sq.km). Per capita, it is 15.95 sq. km. How do you compare that with other cities?

By the way, those numbers above include green areas naturally formed, that is, mountains and riversides. Also the books says that "the majority of the green area (76%) is of forests, so there certainly is some limits in accessibility."

I whole heartly agree with your points on the minimal green areas in Seoul and other cities in SK. Although it may cost some for Koreans to expand and maintain turf areas, the added pleasance to their city living will offset the cost by many times over.

That fits much more with my expereince visiting, not many "parks" of areas of grassland but alot of mountainous forrested areas close to the center of the city.

hey why did they change the towerdesign the first 1 was slightly better than this

The design is very nice and clean. The renderings are very beautiful.

... and this:

Probably designed intentionally by the architects.

lol.. but that's canceled design.

Which is the actual project?

lol.. but that's canceled design.

I am so happy it was doomed already. Now, they need to come up with something more purposeful design that reflects Korean culture and is awe-inspiring to the eyes of beholders.

^^ The Korean culture?!

Then you should not build skyscrapers! :)

I mean... all this "things" are very inn and when you try to apply the "national culture" they became a little bit... bizarre!

I am so happy it was doomed already. Now, they need to come up with something more purposeful design that reflects Korean culture and is awe-inspiring to the eyes of beholders.

Hmmm...I dunno about that...I mean if it has a "Korean" design to it, I mean you wouldn't want to see a skyscraper that looks like a giant traditional hat do you? @_@ I know that many Chinese cities have a distinct "Chinese" design but I think Koreans tend to like the more "Modern" designs than traditional designs...hopefully the new designs turns out great tho lol

this one,..


In this "final competition", Seoul Landmark Consortium has been selected as the preferred bidder just today(5.30.2008). This is the proposed design from Seoul Landmark Consortium:

Well, I am glad you took the bite on that. I am not talking about a building reminiscent to the Taipei101 which certainly has the Chinese architectural influence. Sorry to say but Taipei101 looks a bit ackward and out of place.
It is not hard for you to imagine what I am talking about. I am neither hoping for embodiment of 100% traditional Korean style architecture nor the futuristic free style of the buildings we often see in the UAE into the new building. What I would like to see is a building that is modern but gives off the aura that is unique to Korea. In the way I see it, the city of Seoul lacks a unique style or the Charisma that it badly needs.

this one,..
but not finalized yet, though...

Please, tell them to hire me. I can come up with something better than that boring. In another softer terms, I believe they can come up with something more interesting than that.

I just saw a different close up render of this new design, and it looks much better. It's sleek and slightly dull except for the fact that it's 640 M. This new design suits the height well IMO.

true...I really want the supertalls being planned in Seoul to have a bit of a Korean look...I'm sure it will be a clean-cut high-tech design.

I read an article about New Seoul City Hall now being built, and there they say its curved line was adopted from the beauty of curved line which applied to the eaves of traditional rooftop houses, ceramic wares, sleeves of Hanbok, etc.. actually many scholars say such beuty of curved line is one of traditional beauty elements.
I guess such embodiment/realization of traditional beauty is possible plentifully into new modern architectures..

Glorious Tower!!!

OK a millionth design again. Is that the contender design or new render?

^^ that is the selected one.
but some renderings at the previous pages are about the canceled one. I don't know why those canceled renderings are displayed at this thread.

looks good so far, but they should let out the tall spire, and make the roof taller :)

ey korea 2002, is that new tower still 640 metres in height???

It will then become tallest one in asia.

BTW is shanghai centre 650 metres high or 580 metres? According to skyscraperpage, the diagram show 650 but it says its 580 which is misleading.

^^ its 580m, not 650m

^^ its 580m, not 650m

No, this height is 640m....

No, this height is 640m....

Helgast was talking about Shanghai Center. They were comparing Sangam DMC Landmark Tower and Shanghai Center.

wooooow

the new design is more better

summary:

Sangam DMC Landmark Tower: 640 m (as its written on the bar on top of the page)

Shanghai centre: 580 m

New design will look shorter with spire on top decreasing the roof height. But hopefully they don't change mind on the render again.

summary:

New design will look shorter with spire on top decreasing the roof height. But hopefully they don't change mind on the render again.

SORRY, BUT the selected design is also not finalized yet..
the design was just for contest between two consortium applying for the project. so now new step for finalyzing the design,,. so the design on the pics will be changed quite a bit... MUHAHAHA.... sorry...mm.

'서울랜드마크' 상암DMC 초고층 빌딩 사업자 확정

asiaeconomy.co.kr 2008-05-30 18:38

서울 상암 DMC(디지털미디어시티) 랜드마크빌딩 건설 사업의 우선협상대상자로 '서울랜드마크 컨소시엄'이 최종 선정됐다.

서울시는 30일 상암 DMC 랜드마크빌딩 용지 공급(3만7280㎡) 대상자 선정을 위해 열린 DMC 기획위원회에서 이 같이 결정했다고 밝혔다.

이에 따라 서울랜드마크 컨소시엄은 오는 9월 중순까지 토지매매 가격 등 제반 사항에 대해 서울시와 협의 한 후 최종 계약을 하게 되고 내년 착공해 2014년까지 높이 640m(첨탑 100m 포함)로 국내 최대, 세계 두번째로 높은 빌딩을 랜드마크 빌딩을 지을 계획이다.

서울시는 서울랜드마크 컨소시엄에 DMC 기획위원회심의 결과 선정조건 및 권고사항으로 △세계적인 건축물이 될 수 있도록 건축디자인, 설계 등을 보완하고 국제 공모 실시는 검토할 것 △ 공공성 등을 확보할 수 있도록 관련전문가로 이루어진 MA(총괄조정)위원회를 구성해 사업추진 전반적인 과정에 참여시킬 것 △ 토지제공가격은 제안입찰가격이지만 추가 협의가 가능하면 제안입찰가격보다 더 높은 가격으로 받을 수 있도록 검토할 것 등을 요구했다.

이번에 우선협상대상자로 서울랜드마크 컨소시엄은 한국교직원공제회가 최대 출자자(20%)로 국내 금융권과 대형건설사가 주축으로 뭉쳤다. 금융투자사는 교원공제를 비롯해 우리은행, 산업은행, 기업은행, 하나은행, 농협 등이 6%씩을 출자한다.

건설업체로는 대우건설(10%), 대림산업(5%), 두산건설(3%), 동부건설, 쌍용건설, 경남기업, 한진중공업, 태영건설, 삼환기업((이상 각 2%), 한일건설(1%) 등이 속해 있다. 전략투자자로는 한국토지신탁(5%)과 IT인프라넷(4%), 코암인터내셔날(3%), 밀레니엄빌더스(3%), CJ(1.5%), 대우정보시스템(1%), 지세야파트너스(1%), 오션앤랜드(1%) 등이 포함돼 있다.

입찰 제안 당시 서울랜드마크 컨소시엄은 서울시에 총 사업비 3조4000억원을 들여 '새 천년을 향한 빛(Seoul lite)'이라는 주제로 이곳에 지하 9층, 지상 133층, 높이 640m의 백화점과 컨벤션센터, 호텔, 주상복합아파트 등이 들어서는 빌딩을 짓겠다고 제안했다.

한편 이번 심사에서 탈락한 글로벌랜드마크 컨소시엄은 평가 결과에 반발하고 심사과정의 문제점, 담합 의혹 등을 제기하며 법정 소송을 준비하고 있어 사업 추진에 차질이 빚어질 가능성도 배제할 수 없다.

and planned to start construction next year..

DMC랜드마크 하늘향해 '스타트'
상암 디지털미디어시티 사업자 선정
IT첨단시설 등 17일부터 본격적 홍보 축제

news.hankooki.com 2008/06/02 03:01:39

서울시가 첨단IT(정보기술) 도시 조성을 위해 추진 중인 마포구 상암동 'DMC(Digital Media Cityㆍ디지털미디어시티)'의 위용이 하나씩 드러나고 있다.
국내 최고 높이의 640m 랜드마크 빌딩의 우선협상자가 확정됐고, 최첨단 IT시설 등도 속속 들어서고 있다. 시는 17일부터 DMC 일원에서 '서울디지털컬쳐 오픈' 축제를 열어 첨단 디지털기술의 현주소를 보여준다.

■ 국내 최고층 랜드마크 주목

서울시 DMC기획위원회는 지난달 30일 DMC 랜드마크 빌딩 건립 우선협상 대상자로 '서울랜드마크컨소시엄'을 확정했다. 내년에 착공돼 2014년 완공 예정인 이 건물은 '새 천년을 향한 빛(Seoul lite)'을 주제로 지하9층, 지상133층, 방송용 첨탑 안테나(100ｍ)를 포함한 높이 640m의 국내 최고층 빌딩이다.

지하1층에는 아쿠아리움, 디지털미디어 체험관 등이, 지하1~지상8층에는 백화점과 쇼핑몰, 컨벤션센터, 지상 9~45층은 오피스 빌딩, 46~84층은 주상복합 아파트(296가구), 85~108층은 서비스드 레지던스 호텔, 109~127층은 일반 호텔, 128~133층은 전망대 등이 마련된다.
(the rest omitted)


news says that 133floor, 640m height
and its use of shopping + convention center + office + residential + hotel + sky lounge(observation)

so 640m is with the 100m spire or is it 640m+100m spire ?

another news :

it says that construction starts next year, and complete in 2014
floor : -9~133fl. / height : 640m / total floor area : 724,675m²
and the core of mass will be empty for sun lighting through the building.
and on the sky observation lounge, north korea also will be seen..

detailed use :
-1 : aquarium, Digital Media & Ubiquitous network showcase,
1 ~ 8 : premium outlet, department store, shopping mall,
9 ~ 45 : office (including Oracle, Google, MS, IBM as well as Local IT/Media Firms)
46 ~ 84 : residential,
85 ~ 107 : Serviced Residence Hotel,.
108 ~130 : Hotel
131 ~ 133 : observation lounge + restaurant.

an interviewer says the height excluding antenna is the heighest one around the world.

http://www.donga.com/photo/news/200806/200806250043.jpg

서울시는 지난달 30일 마포구 상암동 디지털미디어시티 랜드마크빌딩의 용지 공급 우선협상 후보 사업자로 서울랜드마크 컨소시엄을 선정했다.

시가 30일 서울랜드마크를 우선협상 대상자로 최종 선정하면 내년에 착공한다. 완공은 2014년.

랜드마크빌딩의 주제는 ‘새 천년을 향한 빛(Seoul Lite·조감도).’ 지하 9층, 지상 133층, 높이 640m이며 연면적은 72만4675m²이다.

용산 국제업무지구에 들어서는 랜드마크빌딩(620m)보다 20m 더 높은 국내 최고층이다. 아시아에서 가장 높다.

○ 개성까지 보이는 전망대

지상에는 백화점과 쇼핑몰, 컨벤션센터, 사무실, 아파트, 호텔, 레스토랑, 방송스튜디오, 전망대가 들어선다.

지하 1층에는 아쿠아리움, 디지털미디어 체험관, 유비쿼터스체험관을 짓는다. 전망대(132∼133층)는 아랍에미리트 두바이에 짓고 있는 버즈두바이의 전망대(124층)보다 높다.

호텔은 지상에서 가장 높은 최고급 호텔과 레지던스 호텔을 계획하고 있다. 현재 세계에서 가장 높은 호텔 객실은 중국 상하이 진마오타워의 하이엇 호텔로 54∼87층이다.

리츠칼턴과 메리엇 같은 세계적 호텔체인이 85∼108층에 입주한다. 109∼127층은 레지던스 호텔로 채운다.

지하 1층∼지상 8층에는 미국의 사이먼 첼시, 샌즈 등 프리미엄 아웃렛 매장과 백화점, 쇼핑몰을 유치한다.

일반 사무실에는 오라클과 구글, 마이크로소프트, IBM 등 정보기술(IT) 미디어기업이 입주한다. 128∼130층에는 공연 레스토랑, 131층에는 방송스튜디오가 들어선다.

○ 원통형 구조 모든 층에 자연 채광

주상복합아파트는 46∼84층이다. 78평짜리 단일 평형으로 296가구를 배치한다.

분양가 상한제를 적용하면 랜드마크 아파트의 3.3m²당 분양가는 1000만∼1100만 원. 토지매입비용이 워낙 적어 더 높게 책정할 수 없다.

그러나 초고층 건물은 일반 건물보다 건축비가 1.5배 이상 들어간다. 서울랜드마크는 분양 시기를 2014년 완공 이후로 늦추기로 했다. 분양가 상한제가 없어지기를 기다리기 위해서다.

분양가 상한제를 적용받지 않으면 3.3m²당 5000만 원 이상 책정할 수 있다. 지금까지 분양가가 가장 높은 주거시설은 3월에 분양한 성동구 뚝섬 상업용지 1구역 내 주상복합아파트로 3.3m²당 4598만 원이었다.

건물을 가운데가 뚫린 원통형으로 지어 모든 층에서 자연 채광이 가능하게 만든다. 아래에서 위로 올라가는 바람을 이용해 풍력발전도 한다.

○ 금융기관 지분 30%

3조4000억 원짜리 빌딩 사업에 수많은 기업과 금융기관이 참여했다.

금융기관(30%)으로는 우리은행과 산업은행, 기업은행, 하나은행, 농협이 6%씩 출자했다.

건설투자자(28.5%) 가운데서는 대우건설이 가장 많이 출자한다. 대림건설 두산건설 쌍용건설 동부건설 한진중공업(건설부문) 태영건설 삼환기업 한일건설 경남기업이 1∼5%씩 맡는다.

시행사 등이 참여한 전략적 투자자(41.5%)로는 교원공제회가 약 20%를 출자한다.

또 한국토지신탁과 IT인트라넷, CJ, 밀레니엄빌더스, 코암인터내셔날, 지세야파트너스, 현대해상화재, 삼성SDS, 산은자산신탁이 1∼5%씩 담당한다.


▼“한국 대표빌딩, 경제수요 창출” 변창흠 세종대 교수▼

“100m짜리 방송 송수신탑을 빼고 전망탑만 비교하면 세계에서 가장 높아요. 서울 용산 잠실, 인천 송도에 짓는 초고층 빌딩과 비교해도 초고층 건물의 맏형으로 상징적인 의미가 있지요.”

변창흠(사진) 세종대 행정학과 교수는 서울 디지털미디어시티(DMC)의 랜드마크 건물이 대한민국을 대표하는 건물로 새로운 경제 수요까지 만들어 낼 것으로 기대했다.

“고급호텔은 공급이 수요를 창출하는 측면이 있어요. 더군다나 인천공항과 김포공항에서 지리적으로 가깝죠. 고급주택도 강남 지역에 한정됐으나 서북부 지역으로 분산시키는 효과가 있어요. 세계적인 추세를 보면 과거에는 뉴욕의 엠파이어스테이트빌딩처럼 사무실만 지었지만 요즘에는 버즈 두바이처럼 초고층 건물에 주거시설을 넣고 있습니다.”

전문가의 시각에서 DMC 자체에 대해서는 ‘합격점’이라고 평가했다.

변 교수는 “DMC가 도시의 부심으로는 규모가 작은 편이다. 그러나 첨단도시 모임의 전문가들이 봤을 때 성공작으로 인정하고 있다”고 말했다.

so 640m is with the 100m spire or is it 640m+100m spire ?

including 100m, totally 640m.

roof is 540m + 100m antenna, so someone change the title to 540m

roof is 540m + 100m antenna, so someone change the title to 540m

how do you do that way?
then Burj Dubai?
including 100m was just my guess..

can anyone says about this exactly?

well if the 100m antenna is included with the final height then u - 100m from 640m and you get the structural height of 540m. but i didnt know it was your guess

relating to antenna, the height calculation method seems to be quite complicated as i read somewhere.. it's not so simple thing..
so I understand that generally the total height including antenna is commonly used.. actually, any other supertalls including Burj Dubai are such titled with the total height at SSC also.. am i wrong? how can you say to rename the title just with rooftop height?
srry, I'm novice.. I wait any good advice from someone who knows about it well..

If it's a permanent part of the building, then it counts.

This debate still goes on... Look at petronas VS sears theory.

http://www.yangsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/petronas7.jpg

Sears tower has much higher roof than petronas plus looks taller but petronas' spire is part of the tower's structure and therefore its tip of the spire beats the roof of sears tower. But sears tower's spire don't count because its only stuck on the roof.

I think it would be much better if skyscrapers were ranked by their roof height.

yep,, thanks good tip..
but it's still some hard cuz,, there aren't enough informations about the antenna's structural aspect for the lastest being built supertalls, for me.. on internet... Who knows those? and how about at SSC forums?

* frankly, as for the body itself, Sears Tower looks the biggest of any other buildings, even rather than Taiper 101. on the diagram... hmmm..

I like this building a lot. The observation deck is going to be off the hook...something like Roppongi Hills observation tower or Park Hyatt Tokyo restaurant in the top floor where you can see the entire city of Tokyo. Now we can enjoy the entire city of Seoul through this supertall tower...so excited!! hopefully yongsan dream tower can start construction soon as well!!

This tower will be dwarfed by that tour financial hub centre right?

Which I haven't heard for long, probaly forgot about it...

do you mean the 900m+ proposal? don't think it will ever get build.

back to topic now ;)

^^ I already posted those pics above, man...
you'd better see the above posts before your post...

It is a welcome news that the building may finally get started. However, here is my question. If they are gonna build one, why not a building that stands out from the rest. Something more interesting and beautiful to look at. A tall chimney isn't exactly exciting or unique, although it may be space efficient. I don't quite understand what their motive is behind this project.

^^ as I already said at a former post, the design is not finalized yet.. It's just a genereal concept for now. Seoul mayor put the condition of design revision on the bidder, 'Seoul Consortium'. so they'll change the design a little bit, or even they'll hold a new international design contest again.. Of course, even after the change, I don't know whether the chimney style will change or not.

If the design retains it's 'chimney' shape, I hope the tower is at least fluorescent or something.

but is the height going to be the same with any new concept's ?

^^ donno yet... Let's see later then..

Which is exact?　640 m ? 656m ?

Recent News,Sangam DMC Landmark's height modified from 540m to 656m.
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=139445

when was this ever 540 metres? I always thought this was 640 metres project.

Is this project dead or alive?

^^ neither

All korean projects confuse me with millions of contender designs behind the final one, and even then they still modify the chosen one. I'll just wait for Korea 2002 to come in peace and bring update.

^^great info that one. btw I have forgotten this one long time ago :ohno: and that guy has gone somewhere. perhaps for vacation lol

I like the initial renders, and I'm sure it will look much better when it's built also. Looking forward to this.

Above 4 proposals fail to ignite excitement or passion for being a landmark tower. Please, forget all the aboves and go with the initial proposal which looks unique and stands out. I am thoroughly disappointed by the ones suggested there after. Their ideas don't seem to fly at all. Sorry to be negative but I am speaking of the truth. I went to the city of Chicago recently and found some remarkable landmark towers that have inspired me.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3283/2934614196_94611dfd22.jpg

the design isn't original enough.

a couple of those new ones were really nice...one that looked like the peachtree tower and one that looked like sears tower...if your going to copy...they should at least copy a good design

Taiwan need to work harder to have supertall!:bash:

Isn't that what happens with every significant project, everywhere in the World. :lol:

Now this is one nice looking building, could be a mixture out of sears tower and burj dubai! :applause:

Taiwan need to work harder to have supertall!:bash:

from where did Taiwan come into picture here :?

^^ he meant that Taiwan is running behind other asian countries in building skyscrapers. Taiwan has one lonely tower in the middle of low city, then there;s one other supertall far away and that's it.

Now this is one nice looking building, could be a mixture out of sears tower and burj dubai! :applause:

Really? Sears tower reminds us of Chicago. Empire state reminds us of New York. Does this building remind us of Seoul? I think this one reminds us of Chicago instead. Seoul needs a landmark tower that reminds us of Seoul.
The chimneny design reminds us of what?
If you are going to build one, build one that is representative of Seoul Korea.

The DMC Tower is set to be the World's 2nd Tallest Skyscraper by 2015 at 690 meters

i read this article on The Korea Times that was released today.

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/03/117_42267.html

^^the tower itself is only 540 or something. The rest will be a spire.

I'm not so sure about the current proposal however. The project consortium proposed lots of grandiose visions about the new design, such as a hollow center and an exterior covered with LCD panels. I'm rather skeptical, so I'll just wait for the final design.

http://i39.************/28s58jc.jpg
So the tower in this rendering is not the Final design???

^^No, it's not. It's a concept design the consortium made up to win the bid to this project. According to news reports, an international bid will begin for a new acutal design. The proposed name, "Seoulite", will also be changed to better "resemble" Seoul.

Ohh okay good!
I never really like that design anyway.

Start of construction is in september !!

http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200904/200904010028.html

lots of good news from korea today :cheers:

Excellent news! I've updated the title. Can we confirm the new name too?

i read 640m in the article ^^

I also read 640 in a recent Korean newpaper artcle.

BTW - I olike that design ... it's sleek.

taller than Pingan finance centre, 100m taller than SWFC and taipei 101... WOOW.

the spire is like 100m right? roof must be near 600m, and looks like the width of base of the tower is same as the width of the roof area. Should look pretty tall.

Although I'll be surprised to see this go on without any trouble. Korean economy is rock bottom at the moment...

cool 690 meters is tall

looks like the peachtree plaza

Yeah but the Seoulite looks much more better.
=]

The design could be better IMO..

The design could be better IMO..

Yeah haha.
I hope they change the design to something more unique like the Millennium Tower in Busan.

crazy in a good way?

there are still shred loads of resources sayin that this tower will be 640m in height...

Yeah but most of those articles or resources are outdated. =]

Here is another article that was released March, 2009.

that's good, obviusly i hope it will get built to 690m high. Only if BD wasn;t built, this tower would seem so so immense..

ARTICLE:
What if ever built will be the second tallest building in the world, is finally being fleshed out to stand in a new emerging commercial zone in the Korean capital of Seoul, Digital Media City.

The project formally announced by local government in Seoul, is being developed by a wing of Samung, C&T and is intended to stand 690 metres tall with 133 floors. The design has yet to be publicly finalized and has changed substantially since it was last featured with the current version being resplendent with curves, a far cry from the angular twin towers that were previously mooted.

It will contain not only a luxury hotel, grade A offices, retail outlets, a convention centre and an aquarium but also a viewing platform where visitors will reportedly be able to see the border of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. How the secretive communist regime reacts to this remains to be seen.

The Mayor of Seoul, Oh Se-hoon, has recently devoted much of his time to secure the finances for the $2.4 billion dollar project and yesterday finally managed to achieve from 23 collaborating Korean property companies a memorandum of understanding that the funding will be forthcoming and the project can finally get off the table.

Driving this politically is the desire to engage in a massive job creation scheme with Samsung C&T promising that up to 80,000 new positions will eventually be created by it in a country that is now headed into recession. In Korea, Keynsian economics clearly includes skyscrapers meaning that at least Koreans will have something to show for their spending splurge in the future.

It should be interesting to see which other municipal authorities around the world try and take the same approach to help stimulate their local economies.

The Sangam DMC Landmark Tower has an estimated completion date of 2015, a number that has slipped by two years since 2008, but Korea long has a reputation of dreaming big, and then waking up to the harsh light of day.

really cool
nice to know that its gonna be 690m tall

why not make 700m, would sound better IMO :)

^^ they can't be arsed to put 10m more concrete onto the building. haha

simple design, meh, so 90s.

^^lol. Nice tower Btw, Seoul is getting pretty tall

After politically sorting through many abstacles, what they might end up with is something so boring and mundane.
I hope they will come up with something more awesome than Burj Dubai. My question is why not.

wow nice one...

The 63 Building in Yeouido, overlooking the Han River in southern Seoul, for decades has stood as the country's tallest structure. One of the city's main sites of attractions, the gold-tinted skyscraper holds symbolic status, but it won't be long till the landmark tower is pushed to give up its throne.

In just a few short years, more than half a dozen super tall buildings will shoot up beyond Seoul's current skyline, slowly chipping away the iconic status of the 24-year-old attraction.

Most of the new constructions ― designed to be well above 100 stories ― are springing up along the Han River with completions targeted within the next two to seven years.

Some of the fiercest projects include the 133-story tower in Sangam Digital Media City (DMC), the 152-story Dream Tower in Yongsan and Lotte's 112-story skyscraper in Jamsil.

Although the ongoing credit crunch has slowed down many of the lucrative undertakings, no major changes are expected to be made to the original blueprints and scheduled completion dates, according to developers and industry insiders.

``The tough economy subsequently tightens finance conditions, but most developers are likely to deliver high-quality buildings one by one in the coming years,'' said Angela Kim, a value and strategy manager of Savills Korea, a local affiliate of the global real estate service provider.



The up and coming skyscrapers aren't simply grand in size and design, but also over the top in function and efficiency.

Their design blueprints show that the high-rise towers will provide column-free space, high ceilings, state-of-the art telecommunications services and a full range of the most up-to-date tech tools.

They will eventually dull the shine from today's top-notch office spaces, such as Seoul Finance Center, Hungkuk Life Insurance Building, Gangnam Finance Center and the 63 Building, plus fan rent prices in line with the monumental construction costs.

Each giant project typically costs anywhere from 1 to 3 trillion won, developers say, which means that rental rates must be set accordingly to buffer the bottom line.

Although the building boom will radically transform Seoul's skyline, local real estate experts also talk of concerns that the sudden influx of outstanding buildings is going to lead to an expensive supply glut.

``A bunch of buildings may end up empty with not enough tenants to go around,'' said Kim Tae-ho, an analyst at R2Korea, a local realty firm specializing in commercial buildings.

I'm glad this one isn't so much of a tower in a park as most of the other proposals.

SKorea starts work on world's second tallest building

Monday, 19 October 2009

South Korea on Friday held a groundbreaking ceremony for what developers say will be the world's second tallest building.

The 133-storey, 640-metre (2,112 feet) DMC Landmark Building is due for completion in western Seoul's Mapo district by May 2015 at a cost of 3.3 trillion won (2.9 billion dollars).

When completed it is set to be the world's second tallest building after the Burj Dubai now under construction in the United Arab Emirates, developers said.

"Differently from skyscrapers in other countries, this is a town within a building that has urban facilities under one roof," said Kim Wu-Seok, president of Seoul Lilte Tower Asset Management, a consortium constructing the building.

It will house not only luxury hotels and business offices but an observatory, broadcasting companies, restaurants, apartments, department stores, medical clinics, a multiplex cinema and an aquarium.

"From the sky lounge on the highest floor, you will be able to take a glimpse of Kaesong," a North Korean city near the border, he told Yonhap news agency.

The building is modelled on communications facilities on Korean mountaintops in past centuries, which used fire and smoke signals to relay urgent messages between the capital and the countryside.

It was designed by US firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP.

Also Friday the country's longest bridge opened off the west coast.

The 18.4-kilometre (11.5 mile) bridge connects the western port city of Incheon with Yeongjong island, where the main international airport is located.

It is expected to cut around 40 minutes from journeys between the airport and southern Seoul, while saving about 473.1 billion won in logistical costs annually, the transport ministry said.

"The bridge lays the groundwork for our drive to become a logistical hub in northeast Asia," it said in a statement.

This will look stunning! :cheers:

I like the design a lot.

Too bad it will stand alone like Taipei 101

Being a S.Korean project, i have good hopes this will be under construction soon. They don't mess around.
