ArchitectenConsort have completed the GT Tower East in Seoul, South
Korea. With its elegantly undulating glass facade, the new high-rise
brings a fascinating change to the angular architecture of the Korean
capital. The form and positioning of the 130-metre-high building are the
impressive result of the vision of architects Peter Couwenbergh and
Edgar Bosman of ArchitectenConsort. They chose a uniform, glass finish
for the facade, which has resulted in an organically pure form. The
undulating motion of the facades provides an optically changing primary
form when passing the building. Combined with the reflection of the
light in the glass, this gives the building a special, iconic
appearance. The dynamic appearance of GT Tower East is reinforced by the
sight of the building, that seems to be dropping down below street
level. As it were the building rises out of the Korean soil and then
reaches upwards in a dancing movement, up into the infinity of the sky.
Gudmundur Jonsson Arkitektkontor designed this vacational house
respecting the landscape that surrounds the house. The concept of Casa G
is based on reading and feedback to the landscape it exists on. The
characteristic landscape situation and view differences distinctively in
each direction. Towards south the view to the sea and islands, towards
north the characteristic triangular mountain, towards east the glacier
and towards west the river and canyon.
