Setting a New Standard
Seoul, REPUBLIC OF KOREA
The original Korea International Trade Association headquarters is part of a mixed-use development located near the former Olympic Stadium in downtown Seoul. The project converted the trade mart for convention and assembly uses, expanded the exhibition and plenary halls and added divisible meeting rooms to host the ASEM event in 2000. Additional facilities include a 1.0 million square-foot office tower and 400-room Intercontinental Hotel.
Conventional Wisdom served as operations and technical consultant to the architect/engineer, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Services included formal plan for convention center features and operating efficiency reviews with the architects and the Owner, and design workshops with systems engineers for electrical service, lighting, audiovisual and telecommunications.
