Whole Lotte Love

Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates announced it has completed conceptual design for Lotte Super Tower 123 in Seoul, South Korea.

Read all about the announcement on:

Arch Daily

What makes this project special to me?  For one thing, it is slated to be the world’s second tallest tower to SOM’s Burj Dubai, but it was a lesser known fact that SOM actually designed an earlier version of the Lotte Tower in Revit as a follow up to 1WTC.

 

In the Lotte World Tower design, we were able to build on the BIM pioneering achieved with WTC. The complex diagrid and curtain wall were designed and optimized through scripting in AutoCAD and Excel, modeled and tested in Digital Project and composited for documentation in Revit Architecture.  It was quite an amazing project with an equally amazing team.

We even had started to coordinate structure and MEP systems in Navisworks for the first time on this project (see below).
