Seoul City Hall Final Design Released - Page 2

Il_Milanese · January 29th, 2008, 09:35 PM

How is the construction going?
The last two proposals are horrendous! Glad they picked a nice one!

waterloo · February 18th, 2008, 03:58 AM

This is THE final design selected today.

I really like it, more than previous designs. I like the way how the top part curves down to the old city hall.

Sister Ray · February 18th, 2008, 04:42 AM

Inside looks cool. I do not like the buildings external aesthetics though. This is really what they chose?

GaryinSydney · February 18th, 2008, 04:45 AM

Looks like a wave about to crash?

princeofseoul · February 18th, 2008, 04:49 AM

I think it's great they didn't try to integrate the two city halls together and keep them visually separated. It has a look!

I'm with you there. But I prefer several of the other designs on the first page to that "wave" one.

My pick out of the designs shown here would be:

princeofseoul · February 18th, 2008, 06:01 AM

I prefer the wave!! LOL... It's less 'classic' thus.. Hmm. If they use some high-quality reflective material on the surface, it should blend in quite well I think (better than on the render).

waterloo · February 18th, 2008, 06:08 AM

Cool~ I just noticed that they did something to the grass in front to make it look like a wave also. The city hall looks like a giant tidal wave hitting the water.

Fair enough.However I've always been a sucker for a big, angular, reflective wedge.

This plan adapted the shape of eaves from traditional Korean houses... I think the Cultural Heritage Administration cannot reject it any more since their incompetence has been revealed through burning down of Namdaemun.

서울시 새청사 '처마모양' 확정【뉴시스】2008-02-18

서울시가 '아까운 시간과 예산만 허비하고 있다'는 비난을 감수하면서 마련한 새청사의 여섯번째 설계안이 확정됐다. '처마 모양을 현대적으로 재해석했다'는 새 디자인의 작가는 유걸 ㈜아이아크 대표다.

서울시는 지난해 11월 새청사 디자인 재설계를 위해 국내 대표적 건축관련 협회에서 선정한 작가 4명의 작가가 제출한 작품 중 유걸씨의 작품을 새 청사 디자인으로 최종 확정했다고 18일 밝혔다.

'전통, 시민, 미래'가 핵심키워드인 유씨의 작품은 지하 5층 지상 13층 연면적 9만4100㎡ 규모의 건물로, 전체 연면적 중 30%를 다목적홀, 스카이라운지 등 시민문화공간으로 만들었다.

특히 우리 전통 건축 양식의 저층 수평적 비례 요소와 처마 지붕의 깊은 음영 및 곡선미를 현대적으로 재해석해내는 지혜를 발휘, 옛것에 대한 친근감을 독보이게 했다는 평을 받고 있다.

또한 전면의 오픈광장에서 시작돼 본관건물을 통해 후면의 신청사로 이어지는 연결브리지 등에서 적용하고 있는 순차적 진입방식은 전통적 이동기법을 현대적 공간으로 전개한 새로운 체험공간.

아울러 서울시 직원들의 사무공간으로 신청사의 주 공간이 될 에코플라자(Eco Plaza)는 투명성과 접근성이 뛰어난, 수평적 서울광장의 흐름이 건물 내로 유입돼 수직적으로 변화되는 모습을 형상화했다.

외부가 투시되는 최상층의 다목적홀과 전망휴게실 등은 형이상학적 사이버공간을 추구하고 있고 지붕과 벽면이 서로 감기고 넘어가는 유기적 형상은 미래 IT, 디지털기술을 상징하는 서울 건축을 표상하고 있다.

또 여름에는 태양광의 유입을 막아 건물 온도 상승을 저지하고 겨울에는 태양광의 유입을 늘려 건물을 덥히는 등 태양광, 태양열, 지열 등의 자연에너지를 최대한 활용한 미래형 친환경 건물로 지어진다.

시 관계자는 "지하 5층 지상 13층으로 구성된 신청사의 지하층은 이미 설계 완료 단계에 있어 내달 준비가 완료되는 즉시 바로 기초공사에 착수할 것"이라며 "이를 시작으로 약 36개월 후 완공될 예정"이라고 말했다.

오세훈 시장은 "백년 후를 내다본 자랑스러운 서울의 상징으로 건립하겠다"며 "신청사는 독창적인 디자인과 기능을 갖춘 세계적 관광명소이자 누구나 즐겨찾는 시민문화공간으로 자리잡게 될 것"이라고 말했다.

I like the new design!!! I think Seoul can differentiate itself from other world
cities by constructing buildings that have unique designs. Some of my favorites are this new city hall building, the Boutique Monaco, S-Trenue, etc
I think Seoul needs more "less-boxy" skyscrapers or buildings >_<

Depotmaster · February 19th, 2008, 01:05 AM

Oh no! It really becomes worse! The top can be glassy, but the facade should be classical style.
This metal and glass is this corporate style without soul, not good for a public governance building.

BOM · February 19th, 2008, 04:04 PM

I'm actually not very fond of this design, but I hope my opinion changes when it is completed.

Almenac-SS · February 21st, 2008, 11:57 AM

i think its alright...
can't really say anything definitive about it as the renderings are crap
still, i have a feeling that it'll become a significant landmark for Seoul if it turns out good

Locust · February 21st, 2008, 07:18 PM

I support ANY design... as long as it is fire resistent....

Il_Milanese · February 23rd, 2008, 03:23 PM

It's creepy!

efesese · February 26th, 2008, 03:38 PM

are they trying to flood the Japanese-built old city hall? If they hate it so much why don't they just demolish that old ugly building?

flymordecai · February 27th, 2008, 04:56 PM

They'd rather do it in a subtle way, well, if you consider a giant tsunami shaped building looming over the old city hall building subtle.

Ellatur · February 29th, 2008, 05:47 AM

i think its because of the old city hall's historic values
when the krn government was getting rid of the 조선총독부, i remember a lot of people complaining that a big piece of korean history, however painful, was being forever demolished.
