Herzog & de Meuron unveils monolithic Songeun Art Space in stark contrast to Seoul’s urban fabric

International practice, Herzog & de Meuron has completed Songeun Art Space, located in the south of Seoul. Conceived as a monolithic structure, the building aims to become a cultural anchor for the city and its emerging artists.

The 59-metre-high building holds eleven floors above the ground and five below, offering non-commercial space within one of the most commercial areas of Seoul. Renowned for its international flagship stores, restaurants and bars, the neighbourhood’s zoning laws allow for higher density along the main street. Sitting among its neighbours, the Songeun Art Space is distinguished by its sharp triangular volume.
