Seoul in the Future

I’ve always been a fan of futuristic architecture. These are some of the most radical designs I’ve seen. Bravo!

The Seoul Commune 2026 project by Mass Studies is just sheer genius. Covering 393,400 square meters of land and bound by the Han River on the northern side, 15 towers of varying height -from 16 to 53 floors-function like one giant house in this park-like setting.

The towers’ functions are separated into public, private, and commercial, offering purely-private rooms called “cells”, communal spaces for public activity and welfare/medical facilities. The base of the 15 towers, where the park merges with the towers, creates the widest spaces of the site. Above, the first floor is 75 meters wide and extends up to the height of the first five stories. The ground floor space is reserved for pedestrians. Three walkways converge there and circulate around each tower’s elevator core.

Second link works, thanks. Don’t know why the first won’t. Could be the crappy hotel server, perhaps…

While these designs are pleasant to the eye and conserve space, with North Korea as belligerent as it has been lately, I can’t help but wonder what an artillery barrage would do to the area. Seoul is too close to the DMZ.

Did you watch those North Korea docs I posted last week? If not, you should. That country is on the ropes. If not for our aid, they would be dead meat. The west and China are keeping them alive. They lack the power to invade the south. The troops? Sure. But hey could not sustain a war. Not at all. 

They are lucky to be alive. They are like Zimbabwe, a complete disaster.
