Dongdaemun Stadium

동대문 운동장

the graveyard foundation for the DDP

The DDP, a futuristic building designed by Zaha Hadid, stands tall as one of Seoul's prized landmarks. Yet, few may recall the erstwhile Dongdaemun Stadium, which used to be the mecca of Korean sports. This building serves as a reminder for a past that has been replaced by the legacy of the future.
