The 85,000-square-meter Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park, expected to open in 2010 on the site of a former municipal stadium in north central Seoul, will “include a multi-purpose park, a design museum, a library, and other educational facilities. The impressive 30,000 square meter park will both give homage to and re-interpret traditional Korean gardening design with reflecting pools, lotus ponds, pebble beds and bamboo grooves.”
