site. duration. program. materials.

Seoul, Republic of Korea Mar. 2013 ~ Jun. 2013 Public and Commercial Concrete, Wood, Masonry, Steel

The site has two main parts: the megastructure, Saewoonsangga and its adjacent commercial district. They have been developed and aged along with urban development in Seoul, and now they are considered potential urban decay that needs to be removed. The task of architect is to prevent on-going urban decay by introducing a new architectural design. It focuses on how to enhance poor architecture qualities in the site while preserving local business relationships of old shops and customers’ fond memories.

“construction of Saewoonsangga megastructure�

Idea The site seemed like an area that is covered by a massive monolith roof; worn-out roofs have overlapped on top of each other in arbitrary patterns forming a gigantic roof layer. The initial design process was to interpret these roofs as a single landscape.

Process

Based on various site analyses, the method of conservative urban surgery demolished vacant buildings and structurally weak buildings. This process created a public plaza and provides better circulation than the current maze-like arcades.

The ground level of megastructure was transformed into the parking lot for visitors. While leaving the buildings with sound structures, the demolition of the conservative surgery process opened up the central plaza. Steel columns were implanted to support the newly renovated roof structure.

The clusters of buildings with same heights were grouped together. Then, the cafe and restaurant were placed on top of thsese clusters.

Vancouver, British Columbia Mar. 2012 ~ May. 2012 Culture (Museum) Wood, Masonry, Steel

The project is to build an art museum dedicated to one specific artist, integrating architecture with his/her artworks. It will provide a special exhibition space for James Turrell, known for his artworks using light and space, and other exhibition spaces for general artworks.

portfolio

jamesvolume turrelltwo museum

Focus James Turrell’s works are known for an illusory and surreal experience which comes from lighting and its various spectrums. To maximize these color spectrums of natural lighting, the first step was to find the site with dynamic weather; Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada is exposed to direct sunlight from spring through summer, and abundant rainfall in fall and snow in winter.

28

Idea When building a museum dedicated to one specific artist, it is many designers’ mistakes that they try to make another piece of artwork that collides with artworks within it. Thus, the focus was to provide technical elements of indirect lighting and simple visitors’ circulation.

Section One of James Turrell’s well-known works, Skyspace, requires no visual interruption on its apeture structure for its pristine depiction of natural light. Thus it was placed on the top level where no trees can interrupt one’s view, and the rest of the museum was designed top to bottom.

VIRGINIA TECH NATATORIUM

site. duration. program. materials.

Blacksburg, Virginia Jan. 2012 ~ Mar. 2012 Culture (Sports Complex) Concrete, Masonry, Steel, Glass

The task of the architect is to build an Olympic-sized natatorium next to the existing athletic facility, McComas Hall on Virginia Tech’s campus in Blacksburg, VA. The purpose of the project is to integrate a design of a large span roof with detailed structure studies that can envelope 50 meter long pool lanes and a diving pool of 18.29 meters by 22.89 meters.

Idea The first question asked when starting the natatorium project was “What do you want to see when you are in the pool?”

Contemporary pools that are dominantly built with structural elements have lacked spatial experiences other than looking at steel trusses. The answer to this question was “natural light of day and night,” and it quickly led to the main design concept - various apertures in the roof.

Once entering the building, one experiences the spacious lobby where the ticket office and staff rooms are included. Along the hallway, one has access to the main audience seat in the gigantic open space of the natatorium and the public cafeteria. After checked out at the lobby, the user is allowed to go downstairs for the main programs: (1) pools and spas and (2) the roof garden through vertical connections: elevators and stairs.

All service programs and the pools are located in the basement level. One can access this level through vertical connections: elevators and stairs, located on the edge of the building’s perimeter. Unlike the ground level where it is a completely open and accessible space, the basement level is restricted for the privacy of users. Unless you are a staff of the building, the only way to access the pools and spas is to go through the locker room.

Blacksburg, Virginia Sep. 2011 ~ Nov. 2011 Education Reinforced Concrete, Steel, Glass

The task of the architect is to build an addition to Tall Oaks Montessori building in Blacksburg, VA. The Montessori educational philosophy, which emphasizes process of discovery and exploration through working with hands and the mind, should be integrated into the new design of additional building.

Focus Already supplied with sufficient educational tools, Tall Oak Montessori needs a new typology of educational space that is liberated from contemporary teaching materials - a primitive learning space where children can perceive and acquire things through various self-initiated activities.

69

Idea Life of indigenous tribe communities is the main concept of this project - their organic attitude toward mother nature. A symbolic object, “Tree of Life� of which the aura of flitered light evokes a sense of serenity is chosen to embody such a concept; events and activities occur around this symbolic tree.

Elevation Ancient ruins of Roman architecture have been standing in stately glory on various European soils, and visitors have appreciated its primitive status of being for centuries. Erupted on the empty backyard, the undecorated rawness of the new Montessori school wants to bring out a similiar experience that no textbook can teach to children.

Floor Plan The initial step started with 2 squares, which had been presumed as main spaces, connected with a threshold in between. Then, dividing each square into 9 equal smaller squares and pushing them in/out created different spaces. Offsetting 1’ - 6� thick concrete walls partially allows service spaces and furniture like a bathroom and bookshelves to fit in.

Section “A column as source of light” embodies the symbolic imagery of “Tree of Life” where people can gather. Instead of a physical column, an imaginary column of light is used to imply such an idea. The learning space ( a ) lets in controlled natural light through a hovering roof structure. After passing through a threshold ( b ) in between, a change of mood occurs in the playing room ( c ) where it is brightened by more natural light from a large vertical window.
