Korean Architecture : news + key projects (this page) Korean Building Developments : A-E Korean Building Designs : F-O Korean Buildings : P-Z South Korea Building - Latest DesignsArchitecture News - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically:Kangneung Speed Skating Arena & Sports Complex, Gangwon-do, east coast of South Korea Architect: Samoo Architects & Engineers  picture from Samoo Architects & Engineers Kangneung Speed Skating Arena - 27 Mar 2013 Located on a 440,000㎡ site that was once used for garbage disposal, the site is now covered with abundance of pine trees. The main concept of the masterplan was to utilize nature, arena, and the plaza as ‘three layers’ to produce a layout that would communicate and harmonize with the surrounding environment. The masterplan would link the arena with the various sports facilities such as figure/short-track skating arena, ice-hockey arena, and a park that will be located north of the site. The Presidential Archives Korea in multi-functional Administrative City, South Korea Architect: Samoo Architects & Engineers, Seoul, Korea South  picture from Samoo Architects & Engineers Presidential Archives Korea - 31 Jan 2013 The Presidential Archive conveys a sense of rigidity and authority due to the seriousness of its purpose. Therefore, the project aimed to be an archive where people could visit comfortably without feeling intimidated. People can enjoy viewing the historical records from nearly a century ago, and experience the history of former Korean presidents by walking along the hills and the waterside park. H House, Seongbuk-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul BANG by MIN emerging design group  photo : Joonhwan Yoon New Korean House - 9 Jan 2013 Located at the alley of Seongbuk-dong where community of village has formed for a long time, ‘H-House’ is a house to keep the meaning to show the virtue secretly. This house reveals itself without clumsy and stimulative feeling in the scenery of old alley, suitably for its name. French Restaurant, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul BANG by MIN emerging design group  image : Choi, Jungwoo French Restaurant in Seoul - 5 Jul 2012 ‘La Ville de Pins’ is a French Restaurant Remodeling project in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, which is the hottest district at metropolitan area in the city of Seoul, Korea. I thought that the conciseness might tell the message more strongly in the age when the extraordinary designs are rampant formatively and visually. Therefore, I designed this space only with white color and shapes of extremely moderated straight line on the whole. Velo Towers Seoul Design: Asymptote Architecture  image © Asymptote Architecture Velo Towers Seoul - 13 Jun 2012 Asymptote Architecture principals Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture are pleased to announce the launch of the Velo Towers, within the Dreamhub development in the Yongsan District.

The new building greatly expands the gallery’s programming possibilities with the addition of a 16 x 9 x 6m day lit gallery space, a 60 seat auditorium, offices and art storage spaces. Diagonal Tower, Seoul Design: SOM  image © SOM/Crystal CG Diagonal Tower - 1 Jun 2012 A case study in efficiency, SOM’s design of the 343-meter (1,125-foot) tall Diagonal Tower successfully integrates massing, structure, and performance to minimize wind loads, reduce construction costs, provide dramatic views, and meet strict energy codes—all while maintaining an iconic skyline presence. Archipelago 21 Seoul Studio Daniel Libeskind  image © © Ray-us corp Seoul Masterplan - 31 May 2012 Archipelago21 - a masterplan for the major redevelopment for the Yongsan International Business District - dramatically reinvents the landscape of Korea’s historic capital city. This sustainable urban development is made up of over 30 million square feet of built area and will include a new international business district, world-class shopping, residential neighborhoods, cultural institutions, educational facilities and transportation, all sited in a large urban park along the Han River. Dancing Towers, Yongsan Business District, Seoul Studio Daniel Libeskind  image © Crystal Dancing Towers Seoul - 30 May 2012 These Korean skyscraper buildings form a mixed-use development that consists of three 41 story residential towers, (a total of 834 total residential units). The design is "inspired by the traditional Korean Buddhist Dance known as Seung-Moo. The subtle rotation of the towers creates the illusion they are dancing, as inspired by the long sleeves of the Seung-Moo dancer’s traditional costumes, gracefully propelled by the dancer’s movements". Harmony Tower, Yongsan Business District, Seoul Studio Daniel Libeskind  image © Crystal Harmony Tower Seoul - 30 May 2012 This Korean Skyscraper Building is part of the new Yongsan International Business district (YIBD) development in Seoul, is an iconic, 21st century sustainable office tower that is 46 floors. The design for the tower is inspired by YunDeung, traditional Korean paper lanterns. The concept is to create a tower as a faceted lantern, whose multiple planes reflect the sky and the earth and capture the light on its differing angles, creating a glowing gateway and beacon in the YIBD site. Daeyang Gallery and House, Seoul Design: Steven Holl Architects  photograph : Iwan Baan Daeyang Gallery and House - 29 May 2012 The private gallery and house is sited in the hills of the Kangbuk section of Seoul, Korea. The project was designed as an experiment parallel to a research studio on “the architectonics of music.” The basic geometry of the building is inspired by a 1967 sketch for a music score by the composer Istvan Anhalt, “Symphony of Modules,” which was discovered in a book by John Cage titled “Notations.” Three pavilions; one for entry, one residence, and one event space, appear to push upward from a continuous gallery level below. Yongsan Tower Building, Seoul REX  image : Luxigon Yongsan Tower Building - 17 May 2012 Another intriguing building located in the Yongsan International Business District, alongside a series of major new buildings designed by world-famous architects. The building forms a gateway to YIBD from Hangang-ro. South Korea Building - Recent DesignsThe Blade, SeoulDominique Perrault Architecture  image : 2012 © Luxigon / DPA / Adagp The Blade Seoul Dominique Perrault has been selected to build a tower within the future Yongsan International Business Center in Seoul, whose masterplan was designed by Daniel Libeskind. "It is not a square or a round building, but a rhomboid prism, arranged in a way that makes it look different depending on the angle of approach. Inspired by its slender shape and sharp edges, the tower has been named The Blade". Cross Towers, Seoul BIG  image : MIR Cross Towers Seoul - 3 May 2012 BIG’s residential towers in the Yongsan International Business District revitalize the Han riverfront into a new commercial and residential center for the citizens of Seoul. Situated at the south-east edge of the Yongsan master plan designed by Studio Liebeskind for the Korean development group Dreamhub, BIG’s Cross # Towers will contribute to the developing skyline of Seoul and become a recognizable marker of the new cultural and commercial center of the city.
