TRUTEC Building
Seoul, Korea

In the centre of the new "Digital Media City" district in the South Korean capital Seoul lies the TRUTEC Building. It offers European SMEs a joint representative representation in South Korea. Besides large showrooms for large machinery in the lower floors, multi-purpose office space can be found on the upper floors.
The façade of the just on 55-metre-high cube consists almost exclusively of crystalline glass elements that, as well as reflecting the environs of the TRUTEC Building, also refract them like a kaleidoscope. This striking effect is achieved by means of storey-high discs measuring 4.20 by 2.70 metres that are divided up into polygonal segments and add up to 20 cm to the outside of the space. The three-dimensionally folded shell is thus turned into an abstract projection surface that seemingly breaks the adjoining building up into pixels.
The structural system consists of composite beams and steel columns in the upper floors, an eccentrically arranged concrete core and a reinforced concrete structure in the basement.
The building was completed after 3 years of construction, June 2007 and handed over for use.
HALFEN delivered special cast-in channels for the flat slabs and provided engineering services, also HALFEN HBT Rebend connections were delivered for constructive connections onto the core walls.
