In the location where the Seoul Dongdaemun Stadium once stood, Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) now stands tall. DDP, short for “Dongdaemun Design Plaza,” was constructed after the demolition of Dongdaemun Stadium in 2007 and began in 2008, opening its doors in March 2014 after six years.
Designed by the renowned British architect Zaha Hadid, DDP serves as an exhibition space and shopping mall. It is globally recognized as the largest 3D irregular structure.
