Reconnecting North and South Korea a Win For Foster+Partners
With a startling green master-plan that will one day connect North and South Korea, Foster+Partners has won an international competition to design an extensive mixed-use scheme for two Korean islands near Seoul.
That it is bold, green and innovative is no surprise. Foster+Partners is known for visionary sustainable architecture - such as their Teatro Del Agua. It harvests sea spray and wind to naturally cool an outdoor amphitheater.
But this is perhaps their most extraordinary scheme ever. How often does an Architectural firm get to connect a communist and a capitalist country? With the world’s longest bridge? Incredible.
