D-Cube City
D-Cube City, a complex of shopping malls and other facilities located in Seoul’s Sindorim-dong, was named among 12 winners of the 2013 Urban Land Institute Global Award for Excellence.
Designed by Jerde Partnership, a California-based architecture and design firm, D-Cube City opened in September 2011. It is outside one of Seoul’s busiest metro stations, Sindorim, and includes an extensive department store, art center, park, academy, apartment, and the Sheraton Seoul D-Cube City Hotel.
“The design and development of the project is an innovative transformation of the site into a mixed-use catalyst that establishes a place where Seoul’s public culture is deeply rooted, and generates a vibrant new identity for the surrounding community,” said Eun Jeong, senior project designer for Jerde.
