Romina Carpentieri

The project is a 300 meter high tower, ' the blade', that with its rombodaile shape and its sharp edges it is slender contrasting the urban landscape.

The project sculpts the void space, offering views of the Grand Seoul landscape.

The edifice is in a dialogue of light and reflections with the neighboring skyscrapers as its facade fragments and reconstructs the perspective like an optical instrument.

The skin of the tower is clad with glass, which allows the exterior to release luminous halos which envelop the outline of the structure.

This vibration creates a sense that the architecture is living, transforming itself with the movements of the sun and the changes of light.
