  Works that newly designed the Specialty Street of Daegu were put on display at a subway station to attract the attention of commuters.
 
 Students majoring in architecture design at the YU School of Architecture (Dean Koo Bon-deok) held their graduation exhibit at Banweoldang Station of Daegu Metrol Line 1. About 30 students majoring in design preparing to graduate in February of next year designed famous streets in Jung-gu, Daegu with brilliant ideas to recreate the streets.
 They proposed remodeling major buildings and plans to improve street environments for 16 specialty streets in Jung-gu such as the Bongsan Culture Street and Dongseong-ro, as well as the 'Plans to Promote Ddeokjeon Alley', 'Jin Alley where Time Flows Slowly' and 'Bongsan Furniture Street that Applies Furniture Linking Methods in the Streets' based on the theme of 'Promoting Specialty Streets'.
 Jung-gu Office (Director Yoon Soon-young) thought highly of the proposals by the students and provided various support to hold exhibits such as providing exhibition spaces at Banweoldang Station in the heart of Daegu. It is receiving a lot of interest amount subway commuters as a rare architecture design exhibit is offered here. In particular, the works that designed alleys using various models are especially popular.

 YU School of Architecture Professor Kim So-hee said, "By combining the practical academic discipline of architectural design to public places that many people use, students making their pieces were able to concentrate better, and people showed more interest as well." She added, "The brilliant ideas of students majoring in architecture design will improve the living convenience of the people, and also contribute in breathing energy into the city."
 The YU School of Architecture put on display works regarding the Daemyeong Concert Culture Street in Nam-gu, Daegu at Myeongdeok Station on subway line 3 last year, and newly designed the streets of Jung-gu this year, receiving great praises from the community.
 The YU School of Architecture major in architecture design was established in 2008 to foster future-oriented environmental engineers who can comprehensively design internal and external areas of buildings. Rather than the traditional graduation exhibit focusing on individual works, students preparing for graduation analyze a specific region in Daegu and are making attempts in architectural design works that can contribute to urban activation by connecting it with their majors.
 Meanwhile, this exhibit, which is being held at the waiting room entrance in B3 of Banweoldang Stations Daegu Metro Line 1, will be held until the 30th.
