From the Architects:

"The Cross # Towers constitute a three-dimensional urban community of interlocking horizontal and vertical towers.?Three public bridges connect two slender towers at different levels ? underground, at the street and in the sky.?Catering to the demands and desires of different residents, age groups and cultures the bridges are landscaped and?equipped for a variety of activities traditionally restricted to the ground. The resultant volume forms a distinct figure on the?new skyline of seoul ? a ?#? that serves as a gateway to the new yongsan business district signaling a radical departure from the crude?repetition of disconnected towers towards a new urban community that populates the three-dimensional space of the city."?- Bjarke Ingels, founding partner, BIG
