Architecture: Harmony Tower by Studio Daniel Libeskind for the Yongsan International Business District: ?The design for the [sustainable office] tower is inspired by YunDeung, traditional Korean paper lanterns. The concept is to create a tower as a faceted lantern, whose multiple planes reflect the sky and the earth and capture the light on its differing angles, creating a glowing gateway and beacon..?located in the north-eastern corner of the new commercial district next to?another skyscraper designed by architect Dominique Perrault?and will contain offices on 38 of its 46 floors..Sheltered gardens will line the southern and eastern facades, offering views out towards the nearby Han river..The base of the building will also taper inwards to create a larger area of landscaping around the entrance..? ?Another impressive addition to the?Yongsan International Business District..
