“Seoul’s Nodeul Island Unveils Innovative Building Designs for Potential 2026 Construction”

Blueprints were presented to transform Nodeul Island in Seoul into an innovative design space.

Unconventional buildings are expected to be available from 2026, three years later at the earliest.

There are floating offices in the Netherlands.

Inside the huge glass building, the market and houses are in harmony.

The exterior of this mixed-use building is unconventional.

The outside terrace is jagged, giving it an open feel.

[박혜리 / 건축가 (10월) : 7층까지 사무실 공간인데 거기까지 일반 대중이 올라갈 수 있는 계단을 외부 공간에 만들었어요. 지역사회 소통하고 열린 모습을 (보여) 준다는 게 건물이 독특한 만큼 메시지를 주는 것 같고.]

Unconventional buildings are also appearing on Nodeul Island.

A huge ring-shaped pedestrian bridge between Nodeul Island and Yongsan-gu.

There is also an aerial walking bridge that can be climbed up and down by erecting poles of various heights.

There is also a wavy roof over the island, as well as a water cascade tower.

This is the future of Nodeul Island, freely envisioned by architects.

[오세훈 / 서울시장 : 오늘 발표해 주시는 아이디어를 어느 하나를 채택할 수도 여러 개를 조합해서 혹은 융합을 해서 시너지가 날 수 있는 형태로…. 함께 노들섬을 작품으로 만들어가는 그 과정을 함께 즐겼으면 좋겠습니다.]

The city will listen to citizens’ opinions and finalize the basic plan for the project in June.

It is expected that construction will start at the end of next year at the earliest, and from 2026, you will be able to see the unconventional building.

However, significant construction costs and complex regulatory issues seem to be challenges to be addressed in the future.
