Panorama Walk, an experiential cultural space created by POSCO in partnership with the city of Gwangyang. /POSCO
POSCO is seeking to expand cultural tourism in Gwangyang with a panorama walk on Mount Gubongsan that takes the shape of flames from a traditional beacon tower.
POSCO said on the 8th that it held an unveiling ceremony with the city of Gwangyang for the panorama walk, an experiential structure at the summit of Mount Gubongsan.
About 100 people attended the ceremony, held to mark Gwangyang Citizens' Day, including POSCO President Lee Hee-keun, Gwangyang Mayor Park Sung-hyun and Gwangyang City Council Chairman Lee Ki-yeon.
The panorama walk is a free-form steel structure with a total track length of 365 meters. It measures 13 to 21 meters wide and stands 27 meters tall. The design draws on the beacon tower, which in the past served as a place to send word to the outside world and greet visitors, and takes the form of a flame. Visitors walk along a structure that turns seven times, with suspended stairs and glass floors, taking in views of Gwangyang Bay and the surrounding mountains.
Designed under the theme "Eternal Beacon Tower," the panorama walk was created with the participation of internationally known artist Manuel Monteserin and the architecture firm I&Architects. POSCO used high-corrosion-resistant stainless steel to improve the work's durability and visual quality. The panorama walk will be transferred to the city of Gwangyang following the unveiling ceremony.
In 2022, POSCO signed a memorandum of understanding with the city of Gwangyang to develop Mount Gubongsan as a landmark, aiming to revitalize the local economy and create a tourist attraction, and pushed ahead with the panorama walk project. An advisory committee made up of experts and officials was run during the planning and design process, and the project also gathered input from the local community through online surveys and a citizens' committee. The aim was to expand the panorama walk into cultural and tourism content and create an open space built together by residents and the company.
POSCO plans to link the panorama walk with Park1538 Gwangyang to broaden the foundation for local cultural tourism. Park1538 Gwangyang, which opened in April last year, is a multipurpose cultural complex with a promotional hall, an education center and the POSCO Museum Gwangyang. It presents the story of industry and the company through experiential exhibitions and arts content. In July this year, it won the Platinum award, the top honor in the architecture category, at the A' Design Award, an international design competition.
To mark the completion of the panorama walk, Park1538 Gwangyang is holding an exhibition titled "Panorama Walk: Infinite Light" from the 6th of this month through the 28th of next month. The show presents the making of the panorama walk as a single journey, bringing together Gwangyang's natural setting, the artist's creativity, the designers' expertise and POSCO's technology.
POSCO plans to tie the panorama walk and Park1538 Gwangyang to local arts and cultural events such as the Gwangyang Plum Blossom Festival. The idea is to build the foundation of a cultural city that residents and visitors can enjoy together. "The panorama walk is a structure that symbolizes the shared growth and harmony between POSCO and the city of Gwangyang," a company official said. "It will establish itself as a landmark loved by residents and contribute as new tourism content alongside Park1538 Gwangyang."
Meanwhile, Space Walk, an experiential structure POSCO built in Pohang in 2021, surpassed 4 million cumulative visitors this year. POSCO also keeps "Chulichulchul" (Steel Flowing), a media artwork by video artist Nam June Paik and his wife Shigeko Kubota, on permanent display at the POSCO Center in Seoul.
