Abstract A modern and highly-sustainable addition to the skyline of Seoul, South Korea has been completed; the Federation of Korean Industries Headquarters (FKI). The signature saw-toothed exterior wall of the 245-meter tall tower and the contrasting smooth nature of the pipe-shell structured podium "egg" gives this project and site a unique identity in the city.
