Daewon Park Observatory – Cloud 360, with the following headline, Kyungam Architects Associates Ltd., describes their Daewon Park Observatory “The dream of flight is blissful. Just the thought of floating in the sky brings enough motivation to attempt to achieve the dream. However this dream is now a reality. The observatory otherwise called cloud 360 set in the Daewon Park will contain a restaurant and a special media-tech.
The main volume is mounted on a double set of pilotis, which serve also as the vertical circulation to the upper block overlooking the city. The glass-panelled façade made from U-glass allows for the 360 view on the park and city.
