Designed by OMA/Chris van Duijn, the Galleria shopping center in Gwanggyo located about 25 kilometers south of Seoul, features a mosaic facade of neutral-toned stones cut into exact triangles. A series of geometric, opal windows offer those passing through the dome-like hallways a look at the burgeoning city’s activities.
OMA said in a release that the building is inspired in part by the nearby Suwon Gwanggyo Lake Park, an urban green space that surrounds a small body of water. The structure which completed with a rooftop garden has designated space for consumers to shop and for cultural activities that are open to the public.
