Place story

Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), designed by Zaha Hadid and opened in 2014, is a design and exhibition complex. Its flowing exterior contains art halls, a museum, design shops, and public paths used for exhibitions, fashion events, markets, and festivals. At night the illuminated architecture connects naturally with the wider Dongdaemun shopping district. Exhibition hours and admission rules vary by program.
