Equipped with a total of 1,700 rooms and various facilities related to international events and conferences, Yongsan Tourist Hotel is a project that revitalizes Yongsan and provides the city with an urban image as the center of Northeast Asia. The hotel consists of three towers and a mass on the lower levels connecting them together. The partitioned masses, the facade design, and diversity of materials serve to reduce the pressure exerted by the mega-sized building. Furthermore, the building is the result of Junglim’s design intention of pursuing a low-carbon, nature-friendly building that simultaneously considers design and function, which serves as an impressive landmark and presents a new typology of a megasized public space.
