Dongdaemun Design Plaza

I was never a real fan of Zaha Hadid. I mean I admire her extremely but she wasn't my architect idol. She was the first woman to received the Pritzker prize back in 2004, a very honoured and most well-known prize for an architect given to a single architect each year.
I had a chance to visit some of her works few years ago and I felt a little scared and intimidated by her spatial architecture. But as far as I know, a lot of people feel the same way since her building stand out from the context so much. However, she was admired by many, too. Her works are unique, from exterior to interior, the spaces are flowing in and out, everything are speaking the same language.

This one in Seoul has made me in awe.
I was impressed by the flowing spaces, architectural details, finishing patterns, the construction, how neat and fine they've built it, and beyond.
The place is kind of a tourist spot there, in Seoul. There is exhibition halls, shops and restaurants, huge design-goods shop, and huge outdoor public space. A lot of activities were going on in the same time.
