The Haeundae Udong Project in Busan Korea

This is a unique icon expressed in a dynamic volume on the Busan waterfront. Studio Daniel Libeskind will create five new towers sculpted in order to express the dramatic beauty and power of the ocean. The development is composed of three residential towers, an office building, a hotel, convention center and sport facility. The design aims to take advantage of the shape of the site to provide the most desirable apartments. The curvilinear geometry of the buildings plays with concepts of traditional Korean architecture.

The development creates new icon for Busan. These buildings radiate a new spirit for condominium living within a vibrant mixed-use development. The space in the buildings is meant to enhance the life of its inhabitants inside and outside.

The Haeundae Udong project provides so many exciting new perspectives and city contexts for Busan. From this building we can see the beautiful panorama from the ocean, the marina, the mountains, the Gwang-An bridge and the city of Busan.  This project has carved out its own skyline, an imprint on the city in order to create the iconic image of the project.

The varied sculptural forms can create exciting spaces between the buildings, inviting residents and visitors to enjoy a unique outdoor experience. The development of the towers also allows for a generous park to be developed within the site. Some of the non-residential program could be integrated into the park space in order to maximize the park space and openness of the landscape.
