The POSCO Center, a landmark at the POSCO Intersection in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, has been reborn as an open complex cultural space called 'POSCO Square Garden.'

'POSCO Square Garden' is composed of a space where two walking paths and three gardens harmonize. The newly created cultural art walking path and public walking path around the POSCO Center extend a total length of 990 meters. Various tree species have been planted on both sides of the paths to give the feeling of walking through a forest in the city, and 13 resting areas have been provided along the paths.

Additionally, the 'Busking Garden,' which allows for regular performances and citizen rest, the 'Sunken Garden,' where various exhibitions and performances take place, and the outdoor art gallery 'Gallery Garden,' which blends with nature, have been created to offer abundant attractions and enable citizens to heal and communicate.

In particular, the landscaping area has increased by about 13% compared to before, and the number of landscaping species has been significantly expanded from just 10 to 27. Native Korean species such as Korean nut pine (Bunbina tree), Korean evodia (Gwirung tree), and Korean dogwood (Nogak tree) have been intensively planted to preserve biodiversity.

Moreover, an eco-friendly design has been incorporated inside the POSCO Center to give the feeling of a forest, and a large 16-meter-high media wall extending from basement level 1 to the 3rd floor has been newly installed, along with stairs that allow direct access from the ground level to the POSCO Center Art Museum and the underground shopping mall.

Going forward, POSCO Square Garden will be open at all times to the general public as well as amateur performers. In addition to busking performances, it will be available for various uses such as wedding photo shoots and daycare walking paths, providing convenience and attractions simultaneously to many visitors to the POSCO Center.
