This will also empowers local grastonomy as the foor produced on-site will be selled to the foodmarke (1 floor), restaurant (2 floor), and offered for free to local students of Korea Town.

MAGISTRATE’S LAND COURT

HAWAII USA

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

The new Ahupua’a magistrate land court to be felt like being raised from Anahola (HAWAII) landscape. As you approach the site from the road, the building appears to be hidden from sight, increasing the viewers’ interest. As you enter through the canopy structure, made by glulam lattice with double layers of ETFE cushion, you are faced a with the only façade that reveals the interior. The interior spaces are surrounded by a 14-inch retaining wall that supports a structure that consists of a plywood aerofoil structure.

NEW FIRE STATION

WAMEGO, KANSAS USA

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

The building acts as a new footprint by bringing to the site a new concept of what a fire-station should be and redirecting Wamego’s agenda to a more caring, inspiring, creative, and welcoming future. This was achieved by celebrating the four elements: water, fire, wind, and earth by allowing the waffle roof structure to collect water, defines green spaces and allow cross ventilation and passive solar gain. Like a tree, the column emerges from Wamego earth, interacting with the interior and creates enclosure for the fire-station creating a game of shade and shadow.

IRWIN UNION BANK

KANSAS CITY, USA

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

The design concept began with high consideration of the site and its historic position in Kansas. Troost avenue has historically served as a dividing line of racist segregation and disinvestment in Kansas City, and this is still present nowadays. The project rises from the idea of breaking that social division line and providing engaging moments for the community. The ideology of the building itself relates to the geometric shape of a circle which is associated with unification and sustainability. The bank acts as an arm, inviting society.

HOUSE PROJECT

KANSAS, USA

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

The clients of the project were a couple, the wife is a math professor and the husband a fish and wildlife manager as well as an improvisational musician. This project stems from the objective of a harmonic connection between music and math throughout architecture. To achieve this idea, the strategy was composed of utilizing color, rhythm, and the golden rectangle. This mathematical order is present in musical scale and architecture and nature proportion. This not only expresses their careers and interest but also connects them with the environment.
