From the Architects:

"The Cross # Towers constitute a three-dimensional urban community of interlocking horizontal and vertical towers. Three public bridges connect two slender towers at different levels – underground, at the street and in the sky. Catering to the demands and desires of different residents, age groups and cultures the bridges are landscaped and equipped for a variety of activities traditionally restricted to the ground. The resultant volume forms a distinct figure on the new skyline of seoul – a “#” that serves as a gateway to the new yongsan business district signaling a radical departure from the crude repetition of disconnected towers towards a new urban community that populates the three-dimensional space of the city." – Bjarke Ingels, founding partner, BIG
