BUSAN X the SKY

Madness on the sea, Busan skyscrapers - There is a city very similar to Busan in South Korea. Chicago, USA. The shape of the land and the arrangement of the water are the same. Busan is on the Korea Strait, and Chicago is on Lake Michigan. It's similar in the context of a physical piece of land that has its limits and will one day have to lift a building into the sky. Of course, Chicago is a city that has already had many skyscrapers on empty land since the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The city of Busan was relatively safe and well-preserved in the war, so there was no such development. This is the reason why satellite cities were created as the territory of the city behind the sea. As time passed and Busan ran out of land on which to build something new in 2020, they began to cut mountains or raise the height of buildings. Among them, L City in Haeundae and Lotte Tower in Nampo-dong are such examples. In Korea, skyscrapers are concentrated in Seoul. This is because these skyscrapers, which are originally created only in large cities, are overcrowded. - But the difference from Seoul is that Busan faces the sea. The sea is windy and salty winds continue to blow. Elevating and maintaining buildings takes a lot more skill than you think. Nevertheless, there are 100-story residences in Haeundae. A hotel and a water park are included, but the attraction of this L-City apartment is the observatory, which is ranked on the 100th. Maybe it's interesting to give back to some degree the public attitude of the ocean view, which is only allowed to those who spend a lot of money on this building as a residence or a hotel. The same is true of Lotte Tower in Jamsil, Seoul, but since this place was originally built for the purpose of shopping and tourism, the observatory is plausible. - But not on the sea. - However, when you go up to the 100th floor of this L-City, you can see the sea, not the city. It is as if Chi-Won Choi recalled the sentiment he felt when he gave the name “Haeun” to the present day. - The sea under your feet, and the sea and the horizon in front of your eyes, an imaginary play that becomes a reality. - The spatial composition of this place is close to an experiential exhibition. Who's been up to the 100th floor above the sea? Everything is new. - The reality you are experiencing now turns into a madness of pleasure with a sense of heterogeneity that you have never experienced before. - Madness on the sea runs towards its peak with sunset. - This is the #xthesky #Lcity Observatory, a space filled with madness above the sea in Haeundae, Busan. - Location _ 30 Dalmaji-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan - Business hours _ Saturday 10-23, rest 10-22 - Parking _ Use of Lcity parking lot - Admission _ Adult 27,000 won, Children 24,000 won, Busan citizens 20% discount, 99th floor Sky Lounge Coffee 9,000 won, today's cake 10,500 won, beer and food.
