Dongdaemun Design Plaza

동대문디자인플라자

Dongdaemun, Seoul · 서울

A vast curved aluminium building with no straight lines, holding exhibition halls, design shops and a park built over excavated sections of the old city wall.

Why it’s worth it

It is best at night, when the panels are lit and the surrounding market is running. The LED rose field returns periodically and is worth checking for.
