TRUTEC Building

Seoul, South Korea

Barkow Leibinger Architects

The TRUTEC Building stands in Digital Media City, a government-initiated business-development project in one of the last undeveloped sections of North Seoul. Mirrored fractal glass articulates a series of crystalline-formed bays that undulate across the 11-story structure. The pattern of the dynamic glazing refracts light and image, which abstracts both the building's surface and the views out of the building, creating an interplay with its surroundings and its future neighbors, whoever they will be. The architects established a relationship with a park kitty-corner to the site by setting the main entrance diagonally, at the building's corner.
