The space plan has been changed by the current mayor Park but it is getting closer to finishing the exterior. According to the new space plan, 11 special zones for convention / exhibition / experience will be created. On the first floor, "Information Forest" will provide general information about culture / fashion / landscape. "Design Library" will be available here too. Convention halls and design markets will be built in the second basement-level. They say, "DDPP will be a market, a factory, and a plaza, where the design industry is combined with culture.

I'd rather call it art. And it really is. We know it as Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park (DDPP) but its original design is called "Metonymic Landscape" designed by a famous Iraqi architect, Zaha Hadid. Dongdaemun History & Culture Park (DHCP) is open now and you can go and check the relics which were found during this construction. The below four pictures are DHCP and its museum.
By every second, I can feel that the development of Seoul is moving forward, but I still can't remove the idea that Seoul doesn't have a real landmark..especially artwise. Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park (DDPP) might make a difference but the complex will be mainly used for exhibition purposes. Then, have a look at the Nodul Island Opera House. The architect of the National Museum of Korea and the Songdo Art Center, Seung Hong Park has visualized the waves of the Han river. The gigantic stainless steel roof has an image of the Korean traditional dance and the exterior elevations go with the flow of the river. Plus, tens of thousands of LED lights will make it look different by every second, every minute, and every time you look at the building. Its location is quite unique so wherever you are in this complex, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset of the city. On the east side, it will be occupied with an opera theater (1,751 seats), a symphony hall (2,100 seats), and a multipurpose theater (400 seats). On the west side, more static facilities as an observation cafe, museum will be constructed. The main opera theater will have two basement levels and eight ground levels. So, you can take a bus to the island and escape from the crowded city and have a pleasant, relaxing time. If you can't wait for it, why don't you have a look at the video and some photos? |
