Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)
동대문디자인플라자 (DDP)
Zaha Hadid's seamless silver curves — the most future-facing architecture in Seoul.
Zaha Hadid's fluid, non-linear building on the site of the old Dongdaemun Stadium. By day its aluminum panels flow into a silver ridgeline; by night, façade lighting and rotating media installations light the plaza. 'Vincenzo' borrowed it as a slice of the future.
