Seoul｜From the present to the future-Dongdaemun Design Plaza Zaha Hadid leaves the world with a sense of wonder about the future

The Dongdaemun Design Plaza, which looks like a spaceship, was designed by Zaha Hadid, an Iraqi-British designer who excels in using fluidity to present the beauty of weightlessness and is known as the queen of curves. She was also the first female designer to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Taiwan's soon-to-be-completed Tamkang Bridge, Beijing Galaxy Soho, Daxing Airport and other famous buildings were all her works. Unfortunately, she passed away of a heart attack in 2016. Dongdaemun is not only a mecca for fashion wholesale and shopping for tourists, but is now gradually transforming into a design center and a bridge that connects young designers with market opportunities. The Dongdaemun Design Plaza, which covers an area of ​​6.3 hectares, was formerly a stadium, and a huge spaceship connects the design center, art gallery, and design museum from the subway exit. Among them, it is worth mentioning that Dongdaemun has a developed fashion industry and the design center has booths for brands to display, becoming a place for global buyers to match works. Taobao also sees the opportunity to find live broadcasters to broadcast and promote. There is also a magazine library upstairs, which collects design books and Japanese and Korean fashion magazines. 📍Address: 281 Eulji-ro, Jung District, Seoul, South Korea #2月好去2025
