Cheongdoam Tower by J. Mayer H. Architects, Seoul, South Korea
J. Mayer H. Architects has just won the competition for their "Cheongdoam Tower" design in Seoul. As part of the Seoul City Urban/Architecture Creation/Innovation Design Project contest, the competition was initiated by the city of Seoul, aiming to enhance urban qualities and improve the quality of life for residents. The tower features winding paths through open green spaces with water features. Additionally, the paths include cultural event spaces and commercial zones that are embedded within the scheme. Offering views of the city and the Han River, these paths form newly created public spaces, serving as peaceful oases in the busy city. The design also seeks to provide a backdrop that is ideal for the documentation of K-culture, broadcasting the latest trends globally.
