Korean Cultural Center of New York
The new 37,000-square-foot Korean Cultural Center building, Designed by Seoul-based Samoo Architects and Engineers, is located in Mid-Town Manhattan. The design centers around a 120-foot-high atrium that encases three sculptural, culturally-referenced figures within. The building is considered to have three distinctive zones, comprised of public spaces, semi-public, and private programmed spaces, including exhibition space, gardens, a library, artist’s studios, and administrative offices.
