back in 2007 it was announced that zaha hadid would redesign a central area of seoul
'the design plaza and park' for the world design capital 2010.

consisting of 6 areas:
1 - dongdaemun design plaza
2 - restored castle wall (seoul seonggwak)
3 - event hall & cafe
4 - dongdaemun stadium memorial
5 - dongdaemun history museum
6 - design gallery
the park spans an area of approximately 85 400m2

on a recent trip to seoul, designboom had the chance to see the progress of the
dongdaemun history and culture park. the DDP (dongdaemun design plaza) team gave
us a tour of the construction site as well as a walk through the current exhibition.
initially construction was planned to be complete. in march 2010, however
the park is now due to open in 2011.
