To sidp.
First of all, South Korea is already a developed country.
Second, your criticizm is very blunt and discriminatory. Explain to me exactly what defines this as “American”. And this project in particular definetly does not “discard notions of cultural and contextual relevance”. The majority of this project is already complete and I have been there myself. It is a very fine piece or combining traditional landscape and eco architecture

its amazing how most of the developing world is starting to look ‘american’ in feel and approach. Most of these new-age master planning exercises seem to completely discard notions of cultural and contextual relevance. Dubai, Shanghai or as this korea bit illustrates, seem merely fragments of a larger blueprint of preconceived american architectural thought on what works. Or is global business looking for the same references to space. Crisp; hence, immensely maketable, but perceivably no soul..!

How does a 100 acre park help make the city pedestrian friendly?

After living in Seoul for a couple months I find it refreshing that Korea is opening itself to more quality architectural design since as it is right now 95% of the resedential buildings look almost exactly the same. Its great to see these new designs and only countries like Korea can pull it off. However, I look at these renders and don’t really see Korea in it. Where are all the Korean signs? all the lights? Korea is a night country, why not a single night render?
And another thing, what is with the ripoff of the Shanghai Financial Center?
