Trutec Building, Seoul Korea

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.
