鸟叔PSY跳着骑马舞的《江南style》在全球一举成名后,韩国江南区的公司便成新贵,其中Woon Nam公司委托MVRDV把自己建于上世纪80年代的老旧总部改建一番,仅仅9个月,这栋建筑面目便焕然一新的出现在已经拥有众多旗舰店的时髦大街上。立面上大小不一的整面窗户可以让商户尽情展示自己的商品和海报,窗户玻璃上在必要的地方进行了丝网印刷,印刷图案与马赛克图案统一:大小不一的圆形泡泡。这栋建筑有着苛刻的施工现场,5层高度中最宽的施工宽度仅2.5米。但是当一切结束后,这栋建筑便突出的展现在大众的视线中。窗户内部装的LED照明,在夜间发出变幻诱人的
光芒。24小时的全天候闪耀。新立面和原有外立面陈旧的米色石材和被租户贴得乱七八糟的窗户截然相反。新立面有着
白色的,亮眼的马赛克贴面,这些贴面近看像泡泡,远看如同整体光滑的石材,而且能做出完美的曲线过渡造型。
Just before a Korean pop-song became a global success on YouTube for the first time in history, and Gangnam became world famous as the nouveau riche hangout of the South-Korean capital Seoul, MVRDV was commissioned by Woon Nam Management Ltd. to redefine a building on Gangnams chic Apgujung Road. Even though the Chungha building was completed in the 1980’s it was already outdated in a street dominated by flagship stores. The transformation, which added an extra level, was completed in just 9 months.
