Last week one afternoon, I visited Hongeun-dong village located in Seodaemun-gu, not so far from my office. Many parts of the village already holds designated apartment reconstruction district by Seoul Metropolitan Government.

For urban sketchers Hongeun-dong is an interesting village, where modern buildings and demolition sceneries are mixed together naturally.
