RE: What Happens When a Superficial Society Designs Buildings? [Part 2]
I think that the DDP should have drawn more from the surrounding area. It's smack dab in the middle of the fashion center of Seoul and yet the amount of fashion events it holds are very few. It should have been a place where small businesses could show off their new styles and fashions. Being used as a way to promote Korean fashion to both travelers and locals. Instead as you said it is mostly empty.
That's a great idea @atlantictech and speaks to a problematic attitude that Korean administrations have of "go big or go home." There are thousands of young talented designers in the immediate area and because of the unsustainability of the project, the institution has to focus on big-budget big-brand projects.
