The Urban Hive is a building designed by architect In-Cheurl Kim, located at the address of 200-7 Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu in Seoul, Korea. The building is called the Urban Hive because of its unusual honeycomb exterior structure. This honeycomb motif is not simply aesthetic, this unique method of supporting the structural weight of the building with the honeycombed concrete exterior imparts unique benefits for the interior spaces of the building. There are no columns and or load-bearing framework inside of the building. Due to this unique construction, the Urban Hive is able to have a unique exterior motif and bigger spaces inside of the building than other buildings built in Korea, using more common curtain wall techniques of construction. Commonly, when high-rises are built, architects and engineers use steel framed foundations on the ground and build up using concrete with constructive materials in the interior of buildings to support the weight of a skyscraper. However, In-cheurl Kim, the architect of the Urban Hive, tried to make other types of buildings not like others which are built as the conventional ways. With his effort of three-year-designing, a new concept of building a skyscraper has been yielded in Korea. With the new structural way of construction, the Urban Hive obtained the grand prize in the Seoul Architecture Award in 2009. It was 27th of the mater pieces which were awarded the same prize. ==Summary== 〔(AURIC ), Architecture and Urban Research Information Center, OCt 28th, 2009〕 *Architect: In-Cheurl Kim, Archium *Address: 200-7 Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea *Plottage: 1,000.90 m^2 *Floor Area: 584.78 m^2 *Total Floor Area: 10,166.89 m^2 *Floor Space Index: 798.69% *Build Space: b4/17f *Structure: Reinforced concrete (RC) + T-type Steel composite beam (TSC) *Design Period: June 2004 ~ April 2007 *Construction Period: February 2006 ~ September 2009 *Client: Urban Hive Inc. 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「Urban Hive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
