where is the location of the tower in seoul? ... also on the island of the 63-building?

...it looks like a metallic mesh smoke stack, unfortunately.

I agree. Or a decorated, exploded grain storage stack. SOM has done better projects than this one.

LeCom · July 27th, 2007, 06:36 PM

I was on the design team for this big guy last year.

NEWUSER · October 4th, 2007, 04:40 AM

got info to share with us? Maybe some sketches or renderings?

Both the old and the new tower designs look nice...

Sentient Seas · October 4th, 2007, 09:17 AM

I was hoping this thing would get built...

ZZ-II · October 4th, 2007, 09:31 AM

not sure but i believe the construction start will be next year

I'm sorry that this comment might be arriving a bit late but I cannot not say that this is SUCH an outrage to see Foster's NY Hearst tower being copied and pasted like this!! An extra thousand feet is good but still... If I were him, I would sue.

Lattice towers aren't exactly new...

Guess what? There are hundreds of thousands of towers in the world. Some of them will have similarities. Sue because a tower resembles another tower? Please. The vast majority of skyscrapers are a box with windows. Is someone going to start an international class action suit to pay royalties to some guy who built the first one 150 years ago?

Cidade_Branca · December 18th, 2007, 11:25 PM

I don't like.

Pinkie · December 18th, 2007, 11:46 PM

Norman Foster should sue!

ZZ-II · December 18th, 2007, 11:55 PM

foster would create a fantastic design without any doubt but for me SOM did a wonderful job with that design

***VelesHomais*** · December 30th, 2007, 06:07 PM

It's very distinct, instantly recognizable.
