The basic design is a plan to create Dongdaegu Station as part of the square in front of the Dongdaegu Station expansion project. This includes a landscaping plan in connection with a synaptic complex transit center development plan. KTX Dongdaegu Station Square is in the center of the complex, and transit passengers are transferred to the best routes to the station extension, with a variety of KTX Gyeongbu transportation routes planned. Located in the heart of the city, the square should be expanded based on the use of past railway stations to function as a city square. The basic design for the KTX Dongdaegu Station Square involves a sense of symbolism, place, public space, and environmental consciousness. First, it highlights the symbolism of Daegu’s identity in planning the concept, and it establishes an eco-friendly nature, taking into consideration the environmental characteristics of Daegu. Second, planning the space from past-oriented public transport secures the functions and features of the pedestrian plaza in the urban context. In particular, it plans to incorporate environmentally friendly low-carbon planning and purification forest plans. Distant, middle, and close-range views are established in accordance with the landscape plan, including three forest conditions, taking into account the nature of the three-dimensional space and establishing a planting plan. Third, a packaged integration plan is established for the enclosure, decoration, and directional limitation of the transportation square, which is located in the city forest and grassy yard between the square and the main road to ensure the direction and connection with the facilities and the symbolic sculptures. This plan can serve as a new model for the planning of railway station squares, turning them into cultural complexes in the public space of the city.
