About

Situated in the heart of Seoul, Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) is a futuristic piece of architecture designed by the world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, and is a work of art in itself. Made up of elegant curves and atypical forms, this massive cultural complex constantly provides new inspiration. Inside, a variety of design exhibitions, fashion shows, and international forums are held year-round, stimulating the creativity of visitors.

At night, tens of thousands of LED lights wrapped around the exterior of the building create a fantastic night view, boasting a different charm from the daytime. Beyond being a simple building, it is a center of innovation where design, art, and technology meet to create a new culture.
