They have been using the fast-track construction method, and the core of the tower has finally come up on the ground. Soon, every three day, one floor will be finished.

Now construction workers are working on the curtain walls of the new city hall building. The new Seoul City Hall is the symbol of 'Less Carbon, Green City' and the renewable energy utilization rate of the building is up to 11.3%, which is the highest among general buildings in South Korea. The construction is expected to finish in May 2012.
It has been two months since the construction started and it seems to start accelerating. The ground-making of Super Tower 123 is going swimmingly, and the basement stories of Lotte shopping centers seem pretty massive too. Let's keep our eyes on it.
People say "A picture is worth a thousand words". It's getting close. (Not reached 270 meters yet though)
As you know, Dureraum (Busan Cinema Center) will hold the 16th Busan International Film Festival (aka BIFF) on September 29. And the cinema complex is 95 percent completed. The completion of the Big Roof will make a great contribution to the history of architecture. Dureraum (Busan Cinema Center) and its Big Roof The big opening ceremony will be held in Sky Theater, and then there will be a LED light show on the Big Roof (162.53m x 60.8m) with 42 thousand LED lights. The following concert along the Suyoung river will make this special night more romantic. The exterior wall & roof construction of Three IFC will be finished soon and they will put a heliport up there. According to Nexus Realty Inc, ING Investment Management, Deloitte Korea, Daiwa Securities, Asahi Kasei and LG Hausys will be using up 70% of One IFC. Even I didn't have any idea about what had happened to the USKR project for a long time. But yesterday (July 7), Korea Water Resources Corporation and USKR PFV (Project Financing Vehicle) made an agreement on the price of the land, and the construction will start in the 2nd half of 2012 and finish in 2016. Universal Studios Korea Lotte will be the main anchor company of this project and they said that it will be twice the size of Universal Studios Singapore. USKR PFV will invest USD 2.8 billion. In the east Asian culture, Phoenix is the symbol of "a reign of peace", "the harmony of Yin Yang". On Yeongjong island, the meeting of two Phoenix birds will mean something special. The construction of Terminal 2 is a part of the expansion work level 3. Terminal 2 will be about 11 kilometers away from Terminal 1 and it will be connected by the underground monorails. It will be slightly smaller than the previous terminal, and it will have 65 passenger gates and 21 cargo gates. Between the two wings, a park and an airport hotel will open. The construction will start in May 2013 and the terminal will fully open in early 2018. When it opens, experts expect that Incheon airport will be able to hold 2.5 times more passengers than Kansai airport, which is one of its competitor in the East Asia. These two full curtain-wall residential complexes are formidable competitors to each other. The Zenith is 8-meter taller (80 levels) but I'Park Marina has a better harbor view. The Zenith Square will be a brand new luxury hall representing the luxury market in Busan, and Park Hyatt Busan in I'Park Marina will be one of the trendiest hotels with its luxurious interior and breathtaking ocean view rooms. Personally, I prefer I'Park as it is the masterpiece of the great master of this era, Daniel Libeskind. Anyhow, they are changing the skyline of Busan totally. We have three more months to see the whole complex to be finished and the process seems totally fine so far. Soon they will cover the ceiling of the Big Roof with 42 thousand LED lights. The upcoming BIFF (Busan International Film Festival) will be totally epic. This year, it will be pretty difficult to get tickets, so you'd better hurry. |
