Lotte World Tower (Korean: 롯데월드 타워) is a 123-floor, supertall skyscraper currently under construction〔 in the second-generation Lotte World complex in Seoul, South Korea. 〔 Once completed, it will be the tallest building on the Korean peninsula, a title currently held by North Korea's Ryugyong Hotel, as well as the sixth-tallest building in the world. After 13 years of planning and site preparation,〔http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/news/news_Dm_detail.htm?No=77118〕 the tower gained final approval to start construction by the government in November 2010〔 and the first groundbreaking activities of piling and frame assembly was observed at the construction site on March 2011.〔http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=474259&page=19〕 The conceptual design calls for a slender cone with convex, gently curved sides. An exterior of pale-coloured glass draws inspiration from Korean ceramics and features accents of metal filigree.〔http://www.skyscrapernews.com/news.php?ref=2338〕 Located near the Han River, the tower will contain retail outlets (floors 1-6), offices (7-60), residences (61-85), a luxury hotel (86-119), and public access floors (120-123) with an observation deck. The tower is located next to the existing first-generation Lotte World complex, which opened in 1989, accessible via Seoul Subway Line 2 and Seoul Subway Line 8 at Jamsil Station. Starting in June 2014, residents in surrounding neighborhoods began to notice small sinkholes forming and a nearby lake had been shrinking. The cause of this is unknown but authorities have said they are unrelated to the construction of the tower. However, an advisory team of lawyers, engineers, architects, environmentalists and university professors were asked to submit their opinions on the construction site, if there are any dangers to the tower, and to see if indeed the sinkholes are caused by the tower's construction.〔 As of March 2015, 100 of the projected 123 floors have been completed. The building is projected for completion in October, 2016. ==Gallery== File:Site of Lotte World 2.jpg|October 2005 File:Lotte World Prem Twr construction.jpg|October 2010 File:Lotte World Tower, Seoul, Korea, under construction 2013-12-04.JPG|December 2013 File:Lotte World Tower, Seoul, Korea, under construction (zoom) 2013-12-04.JPG|December 2013 (zoom) File:Lotte World Tower 123 2014 05 06.jpg|May 2014 File:Lotte World Tower 2014-07-04.jpg|July 2014 File:Lotte World Tower 2014-07-04 (zoom).jpg|July 2014 (zoom) File:Lotte World Tower at sunset.jpg|August 2015 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lotte World Tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
