Kim, who was chosen in the competition with globally renowned architects, has led a number of architect projects to build landmark office buildings, including SK Group’s headquarters building, and museums like Seoul Museum of History nationwide.
He was taught by German-born American architect Mies van der Rohe, one of the great figures of 20th-century architecture, the company added.
