Seoul City Hall. so amazing

DO YOU KNOW???

Seoul City Hall has played an important role in modern Korean history. Designed by German architectGeorg De Lalande for the Japanese colonial administration, the building was a symbol of Japanese imperialism.In 1995, 50 years after Korea had gained its independence, the building was demolished and “moved” to its current position.A massive swell of glass now looms over the older, stone colonial section. The symbolism is clear; rather than trying to forget its past by erasing the colonial traces, modern Korea will riseup and over it.
