The primary materials used in its design include Glass Fiber-Reinforced Gypsum (GRG) and natural gypsum boards. Unlike regular gypsum boards, which can compromise molding capabilities due to the presence of sawdust, the natural gypsum boards produced in the Netherlands offer superior performance. The GRG is reinforced with fiberglass, allowing complex, atypical shapes that are finished with refined coatings.

The construction of the DDP, which began on 23 April 2009, used a 3D design technology called BIM (Building Information Modeling) which helped with the accuracy of its 3D curvature in construction. Exposed concrete techniques and the use of a high-quality concrete mix also contributed to the building\u2019s striking form. Each of the 45,133 aluminum exterior panels is unique, with individual markings indicating their installation details. This level of detail demonstrates the complexity and engineering excellence behind the DDP\u2019s construction.<\/p><p>Lighting plays a vital role in enhancing the DDP&#8217;s beauty, with perforated panels incorporated into the fa\u00e7ade serving multiple functions, including aesthetic lighting effects, drainage, and structural integrity. The thoughtful integration of these elements contributes to the overall experience of the plaza. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f0f414 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"7f0f414\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;image_spacing_custom&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:20,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 4\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/DDP-9.jpg\" alt=\"An image capturing the entire scale of Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s construction site for the DDP in Seoul as building preparations begin.
