Another trip, another tower with an observation deck. Seoul is a vast city spread across more than 600 square kilometers (or 234 square miles for us Americans) so naturally a view from above felt like a great way to get my bearings. Lotte’s jewel, which would easily fit in among Dubai’s modern skyline, looks oval in nature at the base, but tapers to a circle at the top.

As you may be able to tell from the content here, I’m a big fan of seeing form and function coming together. Reading is fundamental, and having books displayed as the centerpiece of their own artistic space was inspiring in many ways. Mix in a touch of holiday spirit, and you’ve got a recipe that will bring in the masses.
