The Lotte World Tower is Seoul\u2019s tallest skyscraper. It is the fifth highest in the world, according to the CTBUH list of the world\u2019s ten tallest buildings. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Lotte World Tower is a record-breaking\nbuilding that opened in April 2017. At 555 m\ntall, it features on the CTBUH (Council on Tall\nBuildings and Urban Habitat) list of the\nworld\u2019s ten highest buildings, \u201ctaking\u201d fifth\nplace from One World Trade Center in New\nYork. Located in a matchless position, it is\nAsia\u2019s third-highest building… and Asia has\nmore skyscrapers than any other continent.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KPF\u2019s design has added to Seoul\u2019s panorama.\nThe skyscraper\u2019s slender form rises high\nagainst the city\u2019s hilly and mountainous\nskyline, enhancing the conurbation with a\nunique landmark inspired by the forms of\nKorea\u2019s applied arts, most notably ceramics,\nporcelain and calligraphy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to talking about skyscrapers, the numbers always count: this building has 123 floors above ground and 6 basements, all served by 58 elevators. The tower is part of the Lotte World Mall complex, a public space also designed by KPF, which was inspired by the same concept as the Rockefeller Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mall offers green spaces, stores, open-air and covered pedestrian walkways and, on the roof of the Lotte Concert Hall, a 2,000-seat concert hall. The tower contains a wide variety of functions and uses: it houses office space, retail stores, a 260-room luxury hotel, a panoramic observation deck and many bars, rounding off the attractions and amenities the Lotte complex provides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The architects focused meticulously on environmental sustainability: the building is seeking to obtain LEED Gold certification through a number of features, ranging from photovoltaic panels to wind turbines, rainwater collection and passive glass shading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
