With its stacked, interconnected masses, and glass facade what makes this tower so interesting is the 100-meter tall sky bridge connecting the two towers.&nbsp;</p> <p>Designed for the Doosan Corporation James von Klemperer, KPF President and Design Principal explained, "The Bundang Doosan Tower represents the latest example of KPF&rsquo;s work in Korea. The design strives for rational simplicity while being highly expressive and impactful. By using office building masses to define a large rectangular void, the composition affords striking views from the highway. The architecture conveys qualities of solidity and strength, and by organizing itself around a central space, it also communicates the value of community."</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/29/29c01eaba9f8e504aa64ca6509815f79.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/29/29c01eaba9f8e504aa64ca6509815f79.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>"In order to construct the skybridge, the 1,500-ton structure was preassembled on site at ground level and then lifted into place over the course of 24 hours."
