The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) stands as a seminal example of contemporary architecture influenced by parametric design principles within the 21st-century urban fabric. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and completed in 2014, the complex occupies the former site of the Dongdaemun Stadium. Its design departs from the orthogonal geometries present in the surrounding urban fabric, replacing them with a fluid topography that integrates infrastructure and landscape.
The building’s envelope is composed of over 45,000 aluminum panels of unique shapes, achieving a continuous surface through advanced digital fabrication. In the nocturnal context, the facade’s perforations interact with ambient and internal light, creating a dynamic illuminated surface. This photographic study captures the DDP beyond its programmatic functions, emphasizing its scale and material articulation.
The juxtaposition of the vertical, anthropomorphic sculpture against the sweeping, horizontal curvature of the plaza establishes a formal contrast between human scale and the precision of the built environment. By minimizing visible joints through complex geometric engineering, the DDP presents a monumental intervention that engages in a dialogue between public space and contemporary architectural form.

As part of the Open House Melbourne day we were allowed access to the roof area of this amazing building. There were so many angles, lines, shadows and shapes it was a real challenge to photograph. I ended up with over three dozen shots from various spots, some with people in the frame and some without. I quite like this one with the figure at the end of the alley.

RMIT’s Design Hub is being developed to support and expand the University’s position as an internationally renowned leader in design education and research. Construction of the 12,000m2 facility will also strengthen Victoria’s global reputation as a centre of design excellence and carve out a distinctive niche for Australian design in the global economy.
