The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) was designed by Zaha Hadid with the concept of "Metonymic Landscape." Designed as a cultural hub in the historical district of Seoul as well as Korea's largest fashion district, the DDP is composed of undulating surfaces that resemble the flow of liquid and allow the flexibility in space. According to Hadid, the fundamental features of her design were "transparency, porousness, and durability."
