Dancing Towers by Daniel Libeskind, Seoul, South Korea
Dancing Towers, a project that is part of the new Yongsan International Business District YIBD development in Seoul, is a mixed used development that consists of three 41 story residential towers,( a total of 834 total residential units) with amenities, retail, parking and a connecting commercial podium base.
The design for the Dancing Towers is inspired by the traditional Korean Buddhist Dance known as Seung-Moo. The towers are engineered with a unique structure of a central concrete core and alternating cantilevered fin walls to support the floors that create column free buildings that allow the forms to 'dance' and twist while opening up panoramic views from the apartment interiors.
