There have been DDP architecture tour every year, but in this year 2024, DDP presents renewal version of the tour. That includes the walking on rooftop of the DDP equipped with safety gears. This year’s tour will run for four weeks from October 25 to November 17 as a pilot operation for full-scale operation in 2025.
In particular, on the first day, participants are recruited from citizens with special stories.
A total of 20 participants will be selected, 10 per session. From October 7th to 13th, DDP plans to receive stories about ‘special anniversaries’ such as marriage, starting a business, etc. and then draw a drawing. DDP especially expects a lot of participation from citizens who dream of a new future at a turning point in their lives. The winner will be announced on October 14th.
