The Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park (DDP) is a large urban development project under construction in

Dongdaemun, Seoul. It will contain of a multi-use park, a fashion plaza, an underground mall, and a restoration of a number of items of national heritage. Perhaps it will be completed next year.

I used to sketch this attractive subject several times recently. Owing to the hot weather, I sketched this magnificent structure looking over the window, within air-conditioned buildings on the opposite side.
