My principal interest in architecture lies in exploring the narratives created by form, material, and context. Various interpretations and rich narratives at different levels enhance the spatial experience. Materiality, in particular, is essential to sensory experience and serves as a medium that attaches metaphorical meaning between physicality and context. This can include reflecting time through light or evoking sensory memories. This portfolio, which encompasses both academic and professional works, represents my research into the relationship between physicality and metaphysics.

Light & Acoustic effects
Overlapping Wave typologies
We sought to explore architectural possibilities through analysis of waves, utilizing paper as the medium. Flexibility of paper was the key in studying Wave typologies.
Light & Sound as an Ecology
What we tried to study was not just a form but a relationship of wave typologies such as light, sound effect, or air flow, all the things curvy structures can make.
Approach to Poetic Architecture
We combined our research to create dramatic spaces. The delicate forms, with their reflections and shadows, remind us of the ocean's ecology, creating metaphors.

Ecological Filters : Uneven bottom design
The uneven bottom design will provide the base of algae and oyster ecology. These two elements provide not only just fundamental food resources but also filtered water environments for the marine ecosystem against the water pollutants. Therefore, floating structures can be an infrastructure to adapt to the end of nature.

Design Guide line for Purity
H-station establishes a linguistic connection of purity by forming minimalistic and white frames with thin ceramic tiles and U-channel glass, white but with different materiality. Combining these materials reminds people of a purity and futuristic image of Hydrogen fuels.

Interlocking spaces
The design integrates residential, office, and commercial spaces through interlocking areas. Smaller bridges connect private sections, while larger ones link public spaces, enhancing transitions and creating new relationships. The aim is to harmonize living and working environments, enriching lives.
Open to public
Ascending pillar-less spaces between floating structures of trusses provide visually open space for people. By locating the bookstore on the upper part, great views are open to the public and many people can enjoy them.

Reintepretation of playscapes
Situationists, especially Constant Nieuwenhuys, believed that playscapes could unify play and work, offering endless creative inspiration. The experience of continuous spaces with varied levels can spark fresh, innovative ideas. Although his vision seemed idealistic, it provides valuable insights for the future of workplaces. Our team agrees with his perspective and has aimed to reinterpret his ideas to merge spaces for play and work, creating dynamic and integrated environments.

The high-level terraces provide dramatic view of surrounding buildings and programs. This outer space provides rest space for people between the residents and office zone.
