Han River Art Island, Seoul by designcamp moonpark
I found some interesting design in Korea. It location is heart of korea which is Han River. It means like Thames River in Uk. It is very important part of city.
The Designcamp moonpark has designed an arts complex in Seoul which features a flowing cantilevered roof based on the movement of traditional Korean dancers. It is the Korean practice’s winning entry to create a landmark on the South Korean capital’s Nodeul Island, which is currently divided by an eight-lane motorway that spans the Han River.
