Other Projects by The Jerde Partnership
Mecenatpolis
Seoul, South Korea
YEAR
2012
Mecenatpolis, a nearly 300,000 square-meter mixed-use, transit-oriented project in the evolving Hapjeong neighborhood in downtown Seoul, is the second major Jerde mixed-use project to open in the city in less than a year.The mixed-use district sits adjacent to the Hapjeong train station and provides a dynamic, cohesive gathering place for the resurging neighborhood’s diverse community of business professionals, residents, university students, and tourists. Developed by GS Engineering & Construction Corp, Sejin, the 295,615 square-meter Mecenatpolis features three high-rise luxury residential towers and one high-rise class-A office tower above the Jerde-designed open-air mixed-use public realm with retail, dining and vibrant communal spaces. The project’s towers were executed by local Korea firm EAWES.Anchoring the soaring landmark towers, and providing a new social destination for people is an open-air village comprising nearly 90,000 square meters of retail and dining, as well as an events auditorium and public park for recreational and cultural activities where visitors and residents can gather and engage. The park will serve as an outdoor garden where sculptures from local students will be displayed. Terraced balconies, glass bridges, landscaped roof gardens, open-air spaces, mesmerizing water features and a grand central plaza all reinforce the idea of a fluid and choreographed circulation system at the core of the retail complex. The high-rise towers include over 160,000 square meters of luxury housing units and nearly 50,000 square meters of creative office space. Aesthetically inspired by the elegant form and curve of a natural canyon, Mecenatpolis’ design captures a free-flowing rhythm from top to bottom. Jerde incorporated the region’s age-old concept of a ‘unified well’ to shape the main central plaza that is Mecenatpolis’ core gathering area. It showcases an active water feature and an abundance of open-air public space and restaurant seating areas, designed to draw people into the center. There is also an eye-catching multi-purpose hall, designed as an iconic lantern piece with beautiful wood paneling that sits
adjacent to the cultural park and will host frequent events such as concerts and other special performances. A highlight of the property is the large green park which Jerde incorporated into the design after seeing that parks were noticeably absent from the area.Mecenatpolis completes a trio of key destinations ringing one of Seoul’s major transit lines that is stimulating investment and revitalization. The others are Daesung’s D-Cube City that opened in September 2011 and Star City that opened in 2006.
