3 SANJA OF SEOCHON
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA Events occur in different spaces created by the transformation of three operational boxes. These boxes open or close two of their vertical surfaces generating extensions or reductions in the communal space. They slide on tracks in two different directions providing more specific and configured spaces depending on the event type. These operations and configurations respond to seasonal conditions too. Isolated enclosed spaces are occupied during the winter while completely open spaces are used during the summer. 3 Sangja of Seochon provides three different positions that accommodates for six different events. The overall design promotes a sense of place and community by providing different spaces for poeple to interact, experience, and learn about Seochon’s culture.

The objective of this project was to design a brewery using a pre-designed three-dimensional form. The form is derived from geometries that are typically found in a brewery. The building shape is a compilation of spheres extracted from a cube. Further analyzing the natural geometries found within the form, it informed the interior structure of the building as well and the placement of the program and mechanical strategies. The domes serve a faรงade and structural systems. The domes create a unique experience as one journeys through the brewery all the way to where the beer is packaged and delivered.

NORTHLINE COMMONS COMMUNITY CENTER
HOUSTON,TEXAS
The focus of this project was to design a community center that accommodates to the needs of the locals as well as promoting environmental health. There are many challenges that Northline Commons faces when it comes to natural environments and pedestrian walkability. This project addresses the issues urban heat islands have on communities that essentially contribute to global environmental issues. In addressing these issues, it correlates with improving public walkable conditions. Ways to achieve solutions for these matters are first to understand what the causes of urban heat islands are and how they impact the environment, then apply mitigation strategies on to the project with tactical planning and design.
