It is Herzog &amp; de Meuron\u2019s first completed project in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatlerasia.com\/lifestyle\/arts\/joel-mesler-paradise-art-night-south-korea-interview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">South Korea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The building has 11 storeys above ground, with five underground levels. Its volume is sharply triangular from one angle; from another, it reads as more compact. The south fa\u00e7ade is mostly concrete, interrupted by two long vertical windows. The concrete itself is textured: formwork of rotated wooden boards was used to create wood-grain imprinting on the surface, a motif tied to the name \u201cSongEun\u201d which means \u201chidden pine tree\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The interiors are mixed-use: art studios and galleries at lower levels, office space above ground, and publicly accessible cultural spaces. The building includes a ramp or triple-height void acting as a threshold and a kind of public auditorium-slash-gallery. Its design responds to plot regulations, zoning constraints and the commercial context of Cheongdam-dong, which has high land value, dense buildup, and significant prestige.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ST International HQ &amp; SongEun Art Space, or \u201c473 SongEun\u201d, in Cheongdam-dong (Gangnam, Seoul), opened in 2021.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72933,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[51833,51837,51820,51847,51824,51853,51845,51846,51838,51821,51834,437,434,435,436,51840,51827,51829,51828,51818,51841,51835,51823,438,51822,51851,146,51815,51836,51844,51850,51807,51805,51806,51808,51852,51809,51810,51830,51825,85,51848,46,51816,51811,51817,51826,51819,51842,51843,51813,51804,51831,51812,51814,51832,51849,51839],"class_list":["post-72932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-architectural-highlights-asia","tag-architectural-icons-asia","tag-architectural-landmarks","tag-architectural-masterpieces","tag-architectural-tourism","tag-architectural-travel-itinerary","tag-architecture-destinations","tag-architecture-guide-asia","tag-architecture-lovers-travel","tag-architecture-travel-guide","tag-art-and-design-travel","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-asia-architectural-guide","tag-asian-design","tag-best-architecture-in-asia","tag-building-design-asia","tag-contemporary-architecture-asia","tag-contemporary-buildings-asia","tag-contemporary-museums-asia","tag-cultural-buildings-asia","tag-design","tag-design-destinations-asia","tag-design-travel-asia","tag-entertainment","tag-famous-architects-in-asia","tag-famous-architecture-hong-kong","tag-famous-swiss-architects","tag-global-architecture-icons","tag-herzog-de-meuron-architecture","tag-herzog-de-meuron-asia","tag-herzog-de-meuron-buildings","tag-herzog-de-meuron-hong-kong","tag-herzog-de-meuron-projects","tag-herzog-de-meuron-seoul","tag-herzog-de-meuron-tokyo","tag-hong-kong-museum-architecture","tag-iconic-architecture","tag-il","tag-innovative-architecture","tag-israel","tag-landmark-buildings-asia","tag-m-museum-hong-kong","tag-modern-architecture-asia","tag-modernist-architecture","tag-museum-architecture","tag-museum-design-asia","tag-notable-architects","tag-prada-aoyama-tokyo","tag-seo-herzog-de-meuron","tag-seoul-architecture","tag-songeun-art-space-seoul","tag-swiss-architects-asia","tag-tokyo-architecture","tag-top-architectural-firms","tag-urban-design-asia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
