Set for completion in 2015, the multi-billion dollar development project will include the Guri World Design Center, an exposition center, hotels, retail, condominiums, single-family homes, foreigners’ commercial zone, design graduate school, cultural centers, and much more. The primary purpose of the NIAB is to provide the Korean government with insight and guidance on the development of the Guri World Design Center and architecture and development from a global perspective. In addition to the board, which is made up of a number of hospitality design professionals, in attendance and presenting on the project were Guri City mayor, Young Sun Park, Chang Kuk Ko, president of K&C Associates, who has been instrumental in the development of the project, and a number of high-level Korean officials. “We intend to transform Guri City into Asia’s leading destination for design and architecture and meetings and conventions. Sustainable design will be an overriding initiative as we build for the future,” says Park. 8 fall 2011 www.newh.org tel 800.593.NEWH http://www.iidexneocon.com http://www.BDNY.com http://www.iidexneocon.com http://www.ihmrs.com http://www.BDNY.com http://www.ihmrs.com http://www.hdboutique.com http://www.hdboutique.com http://www.newh.org
