Jacques Herzog on the design of ST International HQ and SONGEUN Art Space in Seoul

Herzog & de Meuron’s ST International HQ and SONGEUN Art Space building, takes the form of a sharp right-angled triangular volume. The structures form is a result of a site study as well as a creative approach to abiding by the regulations of the site. The form allowed Herzog & de Meuron to respect the permitted volume limit specific to their site while maximizing the allotted floor area. An experimental and unexpected mix of gallery spaces, offices, and public areas creates a new dynamic of how mixed-use structures can be designed. With gallery spaces unfolding both above and below ground. The core idea of the building’s inception was to create a complex that inspired the public to engage with contemporary art in Seoul.
