Part of the corporate headquarters for LG Corp, a major Korean conglomerate, the building was completed in 1997 and is a mixed-use facility consisting of an art hall, performing arts theatre, corporate exhibition hall, offices, retail, restaurants, health club and parking.
Given the LG Arts Center's location within the building and urban neighborhood, close to the Seoul subway lines and major roads it was designed to provide a soundproof space.[2]
Structural System
The building is engineered by SOM. The lateral system consist of a combination of braced frames and perimeter moment frame.
