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.

On Chuseok holidays I went there not far from my house twice. As the name of the area, Digital Media City shows leading media companies such KBS, SBS, MBC, YTN, Nuritkum Square started to locate. Buildings are so big and attractive that it will be necessary to go there often to capture the changing shapes of buildings during construction.

around Dongguk University, Pil-dong 3-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul
Rusty colored red buildings in a row across the Donguk university was very inpressive. Those buildings were just amazing by contrast of light and shadow with the depth of color. I feel like going there again for more drawings.

The day was wonderful with autumn weather. I enjoyed sketching at Dongguk Universityj. The campus was beautiful with young students here and there. And the scenery surrounded by urban buildings was fantastic too.
