Located in South Korea, the apartments are built using oblique lines in which each unit consists of a terrace.

It sort of makes me feel drunk… I like the way they’re using those sections of protuding space as gardens.. The section cutaway sort of looks like a maze game.

very low quality ripoff from BIG’s way of thinking, cheap!

@as it is: and even a lower quality ripp-off from MVRDV’s way of designing.

what are you guys [j, as it is] thinking? Large scale architecture that pushes the boundaries for healthiness should be happening everywhere. the more the better. BIG and MVRDV shouldn’t be the only ones.

Looks like a verticle wave.

Similar design to Dubai’s Dancing Towers (which will never be built) or The Pad in that the tower won’t bend more than what the centre core pillars will allow.

They seems have a very good sun study, but the fascade is ugly, the combination beetween rigid box and wave form are not match.

it doesn’t consider how the tree grow, that it doesn’t have enough soil.

sure looks nice but how will trees sprout without soil?
dumped!

Joe says:

Terrible…and as already pointed out the trees could never work with that slim section for soil and structure…very young student?
