J. Mayer H. Architects has won the Seoul City Urban/Architecture Creation/Innovation Design Project contest for its “Cheongdoam Tower” design in Seoul, South Korea, Arch Daily reports. The design was chosen from numerous submissions and six shortlisted projects. The tower features winding paths through open green spaces with water features. The paths include cultural event spaces and commercial zones creating public spaces and serving as peaceful oases in the busy city. Boasting a unique sculptural form, The Cheongdam Tower is a green structure that looks organically evolved. Acting as a distinctive focal point in the urban landscape, it is clad in a thin protective louver. “Cheongdam” means clear water, and the design scheme features organic movement and symbolizes natural cycles essential for growth and culture. Incorporating flowing, organic lines, with green terraces and a protective façade mimicking the ripples of water, the structure creates a “living, breathing organism within the urban landscape.” Seoul is the largest metropolis in Korea, characterized by modern skyscrapers, high-tech subways and expressions of Korean pop culture.
