Barkow Leibinger of Berlin designed the TRUTEC building in Seoul’s new Digital Media City. The 55ft high exterior glazing refracts in geometric patterns that project outward. The interior view is a unique perspective of the urban environment, and the street view is a fractured reflection of the sky. It could be a digital interpretation of its surroundings. Emphasis on sunlight is apparent, even leading to the design decision to move the elevator shaft in the farthest north corner. The vertical ascent to a roof garden affirms an aspiration to the sky and sunlight. |
