Summary
POSCO (Pohang Iron and Steel Company) is a South Korean steel manufacturer headquartered in Pohang, South Korea. The structure generates sunlight to create beautiful lighting in the park around the building during nighttime. Additionally, the lighting color changes dynamically based on the current air pollution levels, offering both aesthetic appeal and environmental awareness. This project is designed for mass production, and also an attempt to respond to the potential demand for an environmental structure using solar panels, as well as for creating a new market by commercializing this type of eco-friendly structure through the incorporation of design elements.
