Seoul, South Korea | C.2017
After nearly twenty years in the making, the 555 meters of soaring glass that is Lotte Tower finally opened its doors in 2017. It is Seoul’s first building over 100 stories, with an observation deck located on the 123rd floor.
Want to engage in a staring contest with the clouds? Hop a ride on Seoul Sky’s double-decker elevators, which can carry more than one hundred passengers to the top in a single minute, reducing everyone below to tiny size figurines. If you happen to bring your regular-size bathing suit, you can head down to the 85th floor and take a dip in the world’s highest swimming pool.
By night, the skyscraper shows off a massive lightshow display, turning the tower into a gigantic canvas for digital art. Though enormous and unabashedly flashy, the building has been very intentional about its footprint: recycling rainwater, going easy on energy, and using its double skin glass to keep everybody cool—particularly useful if you’re sweating from a fear of heights.

A candy-colored DREAM! Seoul is a place that upon initial view doesn't seem to lend itself to AWA scenes. However, when you find the right vantage point, as Mr. Hiller has done here, there is magic to be shared. Excellent image!
