Design for all! - Seoul Design Fair

About a week ago, I visited a grand design exhibition called 'Seoul Design Fair' organized by Seoul Metropolitan Government. :)

It is an annual event since 2008 and this year's theme is 'Design For All' - indicating design as an enhancement of quality of life for human and faciliation of communcation to make the world harmonious.

Thus, rather than professional or profound, it is more accessible to see and understand all design concepts and to expand one's horizon. Lastly, it's a great opportunity to access to the main stadium of Jamsil Olympic Stadium, the homeground for Olympics 1988.
Here are some pictures I took with iPhone 4 :-)
Enjoy and visit http://sdf.seoul.go.kr/ for more detailed information.

South Gate of Main Stadium, this place is the core building of Jamsil Olympic Stadium. Definitely it was the official place for all ceremonies in 1988 Olympics.

Varifying the way to tie clothes can make a huge difference.
