The Sky Tower, the tallest structure on the Expo site was innovatively created by renovating an abandoned pair of cement silos into a cultural landmark. It is one of the most attractive visual and conceptual symbols of the Expo.
The Sky Tower transforms a culturally low-valued heritage from the industrial era into a useful structure embodying the Expo theme of “The Living Ocean and Coast.” As a model case of green growth which should be pursued for the well-being of our offspring, it deserves to become a monument in the history of Expos.
* The sounds Wave
The Sky Tower plays the most beautiful music at the sea. The exterior of the structure will feature a fully functioning pipe organ, the shape of which will resemble a harp and symbolize the undulating waves of the sea.
The organ will actually be able to produce melodies and even the loud sound of a boat horn. And as an additional surprise, visitors will be able to play the organ using their smartphones.
Since the Sky Tower will be continually used after the Expo, an observation deck will be built that will span the entire rooftop of the twin silos. Visitors will be offered a panoramic view of the Expo site, downtown Yeosu and the nearby Odong Island.
