Personal Statement from the motivation letter

03 Nakwon Arcade Renovation Project Division for the Integration

The most important thing that I consider when approaching a project is its statistical data. The numbers that people accumulated over the years often tell us what kind of space programs are appropriate for the community needs. When I worked in the studio, I always put statistical data at the base of the logic which builds up on every project, and I tried to create a work in which people could answer that it is what they needed the most. While this approach of projecting the nature and shape of buildings, setting up areas and constructing spaces based on the data, may seem not so attractive and can be criticized as conservative, but I believe it is an essential approach to create a real successful project for the actual users apart from the architectural success of the building.

While studying at school, I worked at the leading property developers› company and architecture firm which gave me a statistical and rational mind about site analysis when approaching the architectural projects. This analytic basis became a strength of my design in every studio works that I have done so far.

Air Remediation System for Buildings

Abstract Design Typology

The proposed solution contains two types of air remediation systems, which is basically evolved from HVAC and experimental large scale air cleaning systems built in China. The major issue while developing the idea was how to transplant those massive facilities into the cityscape without causing aesthetic brutality.

By developing a facade type air remediation system the problem solved as the idle surfaces of the buildings in the city could potentially become a site place. Also its height itself can support the performance of the stack effect mechanism that the system mainly uses. As a result those two types of final products can become a surface type air filter which can be built either in city infrastructures, like bridges and highways, or on the idle surfaces of general buildings.

Air Remediation System for Buildings & Bridges

Prologue & Intro

The air-pollution in Seoul has become a serious environmental problem from few years ago . Researchers found that it is caused by the large proportion of the airpollution particles produced in the eastern coast of Chinese industrial area which the western coast of Korean peninsula is directly facing at.

This kind of environmental hazard is threatening not only Seoul in particular but also lots of developing Mega cities such as Beijing, New Delhi. These cities suffering from the poor air condition are mainly located in Asia because of its high usage of unfiltered fossil fuel . Since the problem is internationally interwined , it is impossible for one country to figure out or eliminate the sources of the other.

The solution has to be developed in passive, separate way from the source itself.

Nowadays it is done by individual air remediation using air purifier machine and mask.

Yet we need to find out more proper solution by approaching this problem with larger view point as it is an environmental disaster caused by enormous urbanization and industrial byproducts which would seriously harm the entire citizens. We should know that it can only be solved by developing the new type of infrastructure as long as the pollutants exist.

AQI Model AQI, which represents the air pollution level, of Asia is relatively much higher than those of other continents in the same altitude. It is mainly because the manufacturing facilities are densely populated around China and India due to its cheap personnel expenses.

WHO announced that 98% of cities which have more than hundred thousand of population in developing countries, are suffering from the severe air pollution.

Idle Surface Building structures in urban texture have idle surfaces that are exposed outside but have no exact functions other than just working as a structural wall.

For example, flat-type apartments usually have their idle side surfaces since those buildings were built to provide the equivalent and linear floor plans to the users.

Mechanical parking towers and department stores have facades but those surfaces don’t have specific functions other than the skin decorating its structural system.

Bridges or overpasses of multi-level crossings have their large scale structural elements and exposed idle surfaces and in many cases those components are solely designed to make them stable.

By renovating these dead surfaces or facades which are populated all over the city and using them as so called ‘large scale air cleaning system(LSCS)’, the air quality would be improved in city scale as it is shown in the following reference research cases.

Air Remediation System for Buildings & Bridges

Design Methodology Developing Process

The mechanical system and the design strategy of this project were studied based on the following paper.

A Concept of a Novel Solar-Assisted Large-Scale Cleaning System (SALSCS) for Urban Air Remediation

Reference / Mechanism & Design Strategy

Target Distribution

The design methodology was established by these three main principles to intensify the passive airflow of the structure.

According to the Stack Effect formula the air flow gets stronger(delta P) if

Since the suggesting LSCS will be built on the idles surfaces of the city, the distribution of the systems could be uneven according to the location of target buildings, meaning that the performance of the air remediation will be limited if the valid idle surfaces do not exist.

1. the chimney height or distance go higer.

2. the difference of the temperature between the inlet and outlet.

Before starting the process I set up Seoul city as a statistical example to figure out the system adaptation and capacity needs to handle in one city . And then base on the concept I categorized the types and analyzed the distribution of the potential target buildings which show the high probability of having the idle surfaces.

According to the Bernoulli theorem the air flow gets stronger(delta P) if 3. the difference of the flow speeds between two points increases.

Air Remediation System for Buildings & Bridges Typology 01 Facade type BARS

Facade type targets the idle faces of the general types of buildings which do not have the windows or specific function other than as decoration. So idle surfaces in mechanical parking towers, department stores, flat type apartments are chosen for this suggestion.

Potentially, this can be built on any types of vertical surfaces of the structures no matter if the surface is curved or bumped since it works as long as the target face can be draped vertical.

Technically, its basic mechanism resembles the solar chimney system mentioned above.

It has three layers of skin and works as the channels in which air would be filtered through.

1. U shaped channels lead the air moves in and then heads from down to up by heating the air at the ground level by maximize the stack effect. Theoretically entire system can function as a passive architecture without the electricity if the facade get heated properly while the turbines can be installed for the better result.

Air Remediation System for Buildings & Bridges

Typology 02 Bridge type BARS

Bridge type targets the idle faces of the bridge structures, unlike facade type for the buildings the width/ height ratio of the entire bridge structure will be much higher. The colonnade under the bridge has to be kept opened since the ships have to pass through as before the installation, so the whole structure follows the outline of the bridge colonnade and creates chimney spaces by spreading through & along the border . Not to influence the stability of the existing bridge the structural system is semi - independent from the bridge and its design focuses on rather improving the existing structural performance of the bridge.

The system is mechanically supported with turbine units mainly because the river surface, which the bottom part of the chimney will be located, usually have lower temperature than above. Turbines circulates the air to be filtered upward. The upper floors which emits the purified air become the the long trail with the colonnaded-like space made by turbine units. This space can be used for not only maintenance of the facility but also as a public glass house and a park for people to escape from the air condition.

Mass Hierchy / Program Concept

Culture Factory Chang Shin / Education Center for Residents & Local Craftmen

Traditionally Chang-shin Area in Seoul has been famous for its clothing industry in 1970-1980.

But the large proportion of the population are still working as a part of Seoul›s textile industry in the remaining facilities even if the government is not assisting the industry anymore.

The initial idea was to build floors made up of small sized volumes which is the size of the surrounding buildings.

Analysis & Design Methodology

This feature makes residential quality low as the textile factories produce waste around. It ironically attracts designers as a new population of the village who needs these byproducts from the factories for their resources.

Since it has the large difference of elevation levels between north border and the south, the primary issue was to make it easy for users to pass through the site place as it was before.

So by making void:marche through the centerline of the two entrance points, it creates the new passway along the site and become a community square for the residents.

The average age of the residence in this site is relatively older than the other regions of Seoul.

As the residents are old and has low income, they show the fear of gentrification caused by development in neighboring area.

Design Methods & Morphology Diagram

The site place is located in the middle of downtown Seoul and the area was once flourished as a clothing industrial belt. Still it has the lare proportion of remaining industrial facilities.

The site place shows relative high number of old residents comparing with other parts of the city. And the village itself is packed with worn buildings as it is one of the oldest residential area of Seoul.

Programs

The program focused on solving the local industrial and social problems by combining those, rather than making the attraction for non-residential people. The main void of the building is used for marche , The city market that local craftsman can sell or exhibit their products , and public green house which could work as educational and social purposes for the families and old people living around.

Building System Structure & Composition Each floor has programs divided by non-structural wall as the whole structural system follows the long span steel structure featured by Gerber system like Pompidou center in Paris.

Therefore, the main program of the building can be changed easily by modifying the walls inside without reconstruction, if the town is developed and get different residents.

Easternside of the building area which is next to the road, has a large open space which would work as a public square. While westernside has specific functions and volumes in each floors with the closed spaces.

Problematize

Nakwon means Paradise in Korean.

Seoul and South Korea have changed over the past 50 years.

In 1967, Korean GDP per capita was only 156 dollars, but as of 2017, it was 35,853 dollars. In the meantime, Seoul has grown into a global city, and Insadong, next to the Nakwon Shopping Center, has become a tourist attraction. However, Nakwon Shopping Center is still in its frozen state of the 1960s. Nakwon Arcade, which was one of the first and the finest commercial and residential complexes in Korea, was an musicians sanctuary in the 1980s, but has been suffering from the slumming due to aging.

Nakwon Shopping Center, Daeil Shopping Center and Nakwon Apartment are collectively called as Nakwon Arcade. The project was starteded in 1967 as part of a redevelopment project in downtown Seoul and completed in 1969. It was a rare multipurpose building in the 1960s. In particular, the first floor of the building was built with a unique design that was used as a car road.

In 1979, Nakwon Arcade became an instrument store when piano stores moved into Nakwon Shopping Center as part of a renovation project. In the 1970s, Jongno, Myeong-dong and Gwanghwamun were the cultural centers, and as a part of cultural center the second floor of Nakwon Arcade became the biggest market where musicians gathered to find works.

The Nakwang Shopping Center has been booming with entertainment businesses with the increasing demand for musicians and musical instruments from the 1988 Seoul Olympics and lifting the curfew. But in the late 1990s, the function of the music market was almost gone due to the financial crisis and the spread of karaoke machines.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that the first floor area of the building is completely isolated from the sunlight, this cause the whole massive node as a dark alley which was basically an old market. The city government noticed this problem and launched a competition to get the solution by renovating this building.

The area is located in the middle of old downtown district in Jongno. Adjacent area is used as commercial purposes and offices. Because of that the number of actual residents is relatively smaller than the outer suburban districts. This appears in the statistics of the nearby subway stations and the graph shows density during the morning and night rush hours.

Conclusion

Centrality

The district is a working area even if the upper floors of the target building is still being used as an apartment. Because of that, the environment and the cityscape around the building is basically not suitable for residential purpose. With this characteristic and the lightless environment of the first floor have accelerated the slumming of the building itself and the adjacent area.

As the site is located in the middle of downtown city it has 3 subway stations within 5mins distances and easy access to the main tourist attractions in Seoul including palaces and traditional villages.

Also it covers 19 different universities which have 306,000 students in the coverage of 4.6 distances.

Analysis

Solution

According to the analysis that I have done the direction of the renovation of this building should be focused on reorganizing the residence to the building through improvement of residential quality of the district. As the main cause of the slumming is the decrease of residents due to its poor environmetal condition. Because of that, I focused on reorganize the building to make it more attractive and livable for both prospective, potential residents and the passengers of the main road.

Due to the city governments policy and the residents opposition, the universities in Seoul can only cover 10% of the students to use dormitory . So the consumption for the public dormitory is extremely high at the moment . As the site location can cover nearly 20 universities within 30mins distances by the public transportation system, the students dormitory would be the perfect program to meet the demand.

Also since the building is located in the middle of tourism spots it may used as a

tourists dormitory as well.

If the redeveloped Nakwon Arcade is used as a city dormitory and attracts students and tourists as tenants, I believed it would solve the fundamental problem the district is facing at by providing diversities and vitality to the region .

Mass Design Division & Hierchy 01 On the designing process, to solve the problem of the slumming of the land, the basic shape is modified not only to obtain the temporary inflow of people, but also to make it able to work as the nodes of the city which is the inherent strength of Nakwon Arcade.

Current building entirely covers the first floor cross road and it has been making serious negative side effects . By dividing the massive structure into three parts I could expect the reconnection of the roads along the main roads and these fissures bring sunlight in to the dark pilotis space .

OPTION A

The megastructure, which was built during the economic boom of the 1970s, is not suitable for fragmented cities today. With the way of reorganizing one giant mass into three fragments, I suggested the idea of introducing community masses with selected accommodation, existing apartment masses and common programs to enhance the overall quality of the residence.

Based on the various characteristics of the building, it was possible to induce the inflow of the population from other areas by either absorbing the student population or absorbing the tourist population.

Design Strategy To create a pleasant walking environment from Topgol Park to nearby subway stations, the system divides the mass into three parts according to the program, giving adequate sunshine and sense of space.

The road and the pedestrian way are separated vertically. Underground roads are used as main roads for cars and ground levels are constructed into pilotis parks in connection with nearby green areas. Central community building is an intersection where different types of residential programs intersect each other, so I deployed a public & commercial programs such as library and gyms to enhance the quality of residence.

We programmed the space by each character, and we applied the contents related to the needs of the children. We made the whole space for the children.

Program Distribution AMC. Project Light House

RUN team wanted to move their previous orphanage which is currently at ‚Nankoma town›, where the children are suffering from the poor facilities. The team was trying to suggest a selfsufficient educational facility for Uganda to overcome the difficulties they have encountered for years, and the solution was focused on the solar power panel.

If they could build a solar power farm inside their orphanage the economic difficulties of managing the orphanage will be a lot easier than before as they can sell the electricity to the local community.

Since Uganda is located in the equator, the solar panel system fits the local situation as it has one of the highest solar radiation index. (Korea - 985 kWh United States - 1400 kWh Uganda - 2129 kwh).

Intro

Affinity Survey for Children at Cheongsan

Program Massing

Okcheon, Cheongsan-myeon has 5,587 people as its population and 99% of them are Farmhouse, and only 43% are aged under 65. The total number of children in the village is 5%, so there is no social facility that provides child welfare services while there are plenty of public centers for old aged people.

Even if there is a clear trends that the number of children who need care increases the direction of local governments development policy is ignoring the fact. NGO Good Neighbors (Client ) said that the site was chosen to establish a children›s community center which can provides participatory local welfare services that can together create a child care system in Okcheon.

Design Methodology Basic concept of the design is to make a roof with basic shape, not a complex one, so that children can explore space from the inside and slowly figure out the shape and composition of the entire building. By comparing some of the cases of the basic shape planning, I tried to find out the suitable form based on its relationship with the site.

Triangular form was selected after the consideration. Unlike the other shapes, it has all the apex points in an acute angle. This will give an unique spacial feeling to kids, In general. This narrowness and tesselation made with triangular grid system will offer a children cozy and small scattered spaces which can be used as their own small play grounds or studios.

Analysis & Design Methodology

Site Plan

Top View without roof Relation with the site place Triangular building may look sharp from the above and thought as an inconsistent shape with the surrounding site environment.

However, if you look at the actual deployed form, when approaching from the main access road, the Eastern road, or from the Western side, you can only see the broad side of the oblique point of the triangle.

When viewed from the outside, it is difficult to recognize that the building shape is a triangle, and it provides a more pleasant sense of space outside the building.

Installation Moire Effect

Constructrion Strategy Exploded Axonometric Inspired by “Plexus No.19” Series by Gabriel Dawe, this colorful site-specific installation using bright gradient of suspended thread seeks to creates subtle mathematical form that contrasts from surrounding everyday objects.

Different colors of threads intersects with one another in a very mathematical yet with unexpected angles and density creating colorful moiré along the shape When far apart, threads are almost non existent but as they converges together, it gradually starts to form a subtle form with color to give surreal form that floats in the air
