The rippled structure is sci-fi inspired and takes on a futuristic theme among its urban Seoul surroundings. "Across the river from Seoul’s glamourous Gangnam district, the dense city spreads out as a network of busy, congested boulevards, elevated freeways and buildings with little architectural merit." The HANDS Corporation Headquarters by The System Lab aims to change this notion with its stimulating and artful workspace structure. Defying convention, the architecture studio creates a [sculptural building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ragon-intitute) that is the opposite of traditional. The piece follows their client's request demanding an uncommon and exciting building environment that is set to stand out against its surrounding urban backdrop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Rippled Facades:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of rippled facades in architectural designs to create unique and visually striking buildings. - **Sci-fi Inspired Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate sci-fi elements into architectural designs to create futuristic and awe-inspiring structures. - **Artful Workspaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design workspaces that prioritize creativity and stimulate employees through artful and stimulating structures. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unconventional building designs that challenge traditional architectural norms and create visually captivating structures. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the use of unique materials and techniques to construct buildings with rippled facades and sci-fi inspired aesthetics. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create artful workspaces that incorporate unique and visually striking elements to enhance employee creativity and well-being. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Facade Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-facade-house.md) - [Water-Inspired Sales Building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cifi-group.md) - [Industrial Waterfront Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nderkleiva.md) - [Steel Facade-Wrapped Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bomun-house.md) - [Office Building Rainbow Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-rainbow-office.md) - [Pier-Side Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-hq.md) - [Steel Structural Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylab-office.md) - [Perforated Brickwork Office Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premier-office.md) - [Glass Facade Premium Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-office.md)
