SHINSEGAE CANOPY

Seoul – South Korea
Design: 2008

This project concerned the transparent roofing of the pathway separating the Shinsegae Department Store historical building from the modern one in downtown Seoul.
Two solutions were suggested: either a light tensile structure made of glass and steel or a system of glass sheets-supporting trusses. The project involved also the redesign of the flooring and an air-conditioning system in order to ensure adequate thermal comfort both in summer and winter.
