Research Studio - Metabolism
INTER-HORIZONS MARKET
LOCATION
BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA
TYPE MIXED-USE
The Inter-Horizons Market embraces the approaching issue of sea level rise by raising the pedestrian level and creating an immersible lower-level underneath and an adaptable frame above. The lower area of the project metabolizes with the timeline of the water, and the upper area metabolizes with the timeline of the needs of the neighborhood.
Located in the coastal city of Busan, South Korea, next to a wholesale fish market, the Inter-Horizons Market continues the history and culture that shaped Busan by incorporating two distinct markets that highlight the day and night culture of Busan. The project achieves flexibility through a rigid timber frame that houses ‘inserts’, the built units, that are easily exchangeable depending on the needs of the time.
The project strives to eventually apply this system to other coastal cities in danger of the creeping issue of sea level rise. Each Inter-Horizons system will adopt the needs and characteristics of the area to allow the site to embrace the water while preserving and continuing the city’s identity.

Research Studio - CLT Cannibalism
FASHION LIBRARY
LOCATION
VANCOUVER, CANADA
TYPE CLOTHING LIBRARY
The Fashion Library reuses CLT panels from the First Nations Elementary School, Canada, and “cannibalizes” the parts into the design. The irregular panels shape the floor plate and frame the rest of the structural elements. A new wooden space frame roof and wall system hold up the ETFE which delicately diffuses the light into the building. Like that of a puffer jacket, the ETFE with the reused CLT makes a statement to continue reusing and repurposing clothing, and architectural materials, in a circular economy.
Fashion production comprises 10% of total global carbon emissions. However, 85% of all textiles go to dumps each year. Fast fashion impacts a wide range of environmental factors, but the three main ones are water, microplastics, and energy.
Fashion trends follow a 20-year cycle in which styles come and go, and The Fashion Library will take advantage of this and become a resource to rent, sell, and learn about clothing. This library will archive the recurring trending items for future return, and provide learning opportunities about the different trends and styles. This will take part in the circular economy of fashion by slowing down the rapid production of clothing through a rental system.

COLLABORATORS
This is a transformative design project for an office building for Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects in Denmark.
The concept evolved from a light box on top of a heavier first level to a light box that weaves into the mass below.
Inspired by the peripheries of the remnants visible on the site, the new design preserves parts of the South firewall. This creates new peripheries that establish a transition between the old and the new and reinforce the evolution of the site and its already existing layers.
There were various material qualities that informed and inspired the design. The new materials build upon the layers of time that were visible and continue to participate in the evolution of the site. The design forms a lightness to the new elements through a combination of various transparencies.
The new addition connects the two parts of the building with a light breezeway, forming a private and a public courtyard. The breezeway can be opened to combine the two courtyards and invite the public into the more secluded parts of the site.

Digital Fabrication Exploration
HIGH-HEEL SHOE RACK
FABRICATION CNC MACHINE
3D PRINTER LASER CUTTER
This project is a shoe rack in the shape of high-heels. The slots where the shoes are placed are designed in the patterns of traditional Korean window designs.
This project used CNC, 3D printing, and the laser cutter. The main structure and design was CNC-ed, the feet were 3D printed to protect the plywood, and acrylic film was laser cut to fit into the platforms to protect the design from dirt, dust, etc. from the shoes.
One difficulty that came up was the long CNC run time. I originally had the traditional Korean window designs to be pocketed, but it would have taken over 2 hours to pocket the design. Therefore I profile cut the wood with bridges instead. This made post processing longer, but the damage on the plywood was decreased.
V.THE WAVE Integration Studio II
LOCATION
RAINIER BEACH, WA, USA
TYPE MIXED-USE MULTIFAMILY
The WAVE is a mixed-use residential building with commercial first and ground floors and residential on the floor above. The site is planned to be re-zoned and rapidly developed with commercial on the first and ground floors. The WAVE activates the currently deserted Director Street into an active commercial center.
The WAVE is designed to create “neighbors” through public and private encounters. These encounters will provide opportunities for the residents as well as the community to interact and create a safe and lively environment.
To provide residents and surrounding communities with a variety of encounters, the design steps in and out to provide multiple levels of connections and privacy. People will be able to meet and encounter others in public spaces, and semi-private encounters are provided in the cores on each floor.
