Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Zaha Hadid

At this time I’d like introduce you DDP in Seoul
DDP is Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
Dongdaemun means East Gate. I already had posted about East Gate.
https://steemit.com/culture/@slowwalker/east-gate-of-seoul-flurish-perfect-virtue-gate
Area around the East Gate was supposed as a underdeveloped place in Seoul. East Gate was believed far from the center of Seoul. I have lived all of my entire life in Seoul. But East gate area seemed to me somewhat underdeveloped area.
I was surprised when I look around the East gate area in this time. There have been still old buildings and old styled marketplace near the East Gate. But this area is changing very quickly compare to other places of Seoul.
You can enjoy historical place. I already posted when it comes to the Walls which was well preserved. Of course you could look around old market place where was not so much changed.
You will understand how koreans were getting through difficult times after Korean war.
What I’ like to introduce to you is the DDP. New York Times had select the DDP the best 52nd place you ever have visited in the world before you die.
DDP was designed by Zaha Hadid. She was one of the great British architect born in Iraq.
DDP was her masterpiece. She show us all her talent in DDP
It is amazing DDP have changed the level of this area dramatically.
I suggest you look around the DDP. You can enjoy the contrast and harmony between the Old and the New.
Here let me show you some photos. But I am sorry I could not take the photos of the DDP properly.
It was out of my ability to draw her masterpiece.
I need to take the photo more times.
Anyway I strongly recommend to look around here, when you visit korea.
