About this audio guide
This guide to BUSAN X the SKY starts with your feet on the Shocking Bridge, a glass floor cut into the hundredth story of Busan's tallest tower, more than three hundred meters above Haeundae Beach. It traces the ride up via the Sky Cruise elevator, whose LED-wrapped walls simulate an ocean descent instead of showing you a real view engineers weren't ready to risk. You'll hear how Skidmore Owings and Merrill designed the tower, South Korea's second tallest, to survive earthquakes and typhoon winds on coastal ground, and how long it took to build. Look down again at the glass underfoot, doing the same quiet job as every beam beneath the tower.
