It looks like some developer tried to dress up a high density scheme with a few gimmicks. I don’t see any underlying architectural idea here. Libeskind, as usual, resorts to formal novelty at the expense of regional sympathy or substantive ideology.

Constructive criticicm always has a place, but this type of drivel is a waste of space, its as useful as me asking:

It looks like Daniel Libeskind was so impressed by the low-brow, populist crap he saw in Las Vegas that he decided to design some of the same theme park drivel for Seoul.
