Abstract

This OECD Territorial Review examines how Seoul – a city of 10.3 million people at the core of a capital region of 22.5 million people – is striving to upgrade its positioning from a gigantic national capital towards a 'world city' and a business hub in Northeast Asia. This quest for international competitiveness fits within a complex national agenda that gives priority to balanced development across the country, notably via the central government’s project to relocate administrative functions outside Seoul.

Abstract

"A local guide to the hottest city in Asia. What's the best way to tour around a foreign city? Unless you want to pilgrim through the obvious landmarks and take typical vacation shots at tourist restaurants, the best and the safest way would be to get help from a reliable local friend, especially if you plan to explore a newly emerging city in constant change like Seoul. But what if you don't have a reliable friend in Seoul? A CURATED GUIDE: SEOUL, put together by a local editor and expat authors, will gladly be your friend."--Amazon.com. "Seoul -- huge, diverse, ever-changing ... Put together by Seoul Selection's seasoned team of editors, writers and photographers, this guide shares the very best Asia's hottest metropolis has to offer, from time-forsaken alleyways and ancient palaces to the city's trendiest hangouts. Curated selections of hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars and clubs help you decide where to sleep, eat, drink and party. But don't just take our word -- essays and interviews with locals provide deeper insight into one of the world's most exciting cities."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

A book about a large building (216,000 m2) recently built (between 2010 and 2018) in East Asia (Seoul) for a Korean beauty and cosmetics company (Amorepacific) as their headquarters (encompassing a museum, library, auditorium, kindergarden, restaurants, laboratories and offices for 7000 employees), designed by an international architectural firm (David Chipperfield Architects Berlin) following clear design principles (simple form and organisation, connecting with city and nature, real materials), situated between different urban fabrics (a new business district, a large park and a small-scale mixed-use neighbourhood) and built from various materials from the region and all over the world (concrete, aluminium, glass, granite, textile, wood). The book compiles 860 documents that were generated during the planning and construction process of the Amorepacific headquarters in Seoul. The artefacts are complemented by two image series by photographer Laurian Ghinitoiu.
