The main component of the building is carried out through the overall form, which shows how the site conditions affect the building. Another purpose of certain aspects, like the main ramp and the center courtyard, is to gather the surroundings together at a meeting point—to catch people’s attention. The program spaces are divided by the middle core and lighting.

Using the main courtyard in the project that I implemented into the building, it comes with the facade that controls the amount of lighting entering the building. The facade was determined by the orientation of the sun, focusing on the main seasons (winter and summer). In addition to controlling the light, I made a gradient opening system to manage the sun intake in the building. This shading device created a light veil system to isolate the interior spaces from the exterior spaces.

THE VEIL

The main component of the building is the curves. The purpose of the curves was to gather the surroundings together at a meeting point, drawing people’s attention to the core of the community center. Within this core, there are differences in heights from one floor to the other. The program spaces are divided by the middle core and lighting.

Using the eco-technology research we implemented into the building, we controlled the amount of light entering the space. The façade was determined by the orientation of the sun, focusing on the main seasons—winter and summer. In addition to controlling the light, I designed a gradient opening system to manage sun intake throughout the building. This shading device created a light veil

The art gallery was to commute programs within a 3,200-square-foot lot space. When creating the art gallery, I wanted to design a space that solely took in natural lighting.

Looking into El Petit Comte Kindergarten by RCR Architects inspired the envelope of my gallery. The differences in material, depending on the sun’s orientation, mattered just as much as the occupation of each room presented in the plan.

The pavilion was designed for people to be under it and experience the space. This pavilion was developed in order to take in natural lighting. Looking into it, the envelope was created depending on the perspective, matters just as much as how the form is. The shape was intended to be like an umbrella that covers you like a shelter, yet still allows for a clear view of the overview of what humans are perceiving

In this pavilion, the intent was to change the perspective on how it was viewed—meaning the steel structure would be the element that draws people’s interest to the pavilion.
