 |
|
Near the Sinsa subway station. A building designed to look like a coffee maker. Talk about Koreans leaving things to the last moment. I can envision the architect being like "holy crap the client is coming to see the design today?" And then sketches the building to look like the first thing he sees, namely the office coffee maker. |

| It could be worse. I'm surprised it wasn't designed to look like one of those little packets of "coffee powder" that Koreans stir into hot water. |

| I think it looks somewhat like the newer style of toilets without a tank at the back. |

| At the University of Alberta there's a building that looks exactly like a toilet bowl. |
