DONGKYU YOON PORTFOLIO

Selected Works 2017-2021 B.Arch Auburn University

This portfolio is selected works through 5 years of an undergraduate architecture school in the Auburn University. These works focus on the idea of experiential ineteractions among people with a space, material, interiority, and exteriority.

Following conditions with a solidity, transparency, reflection, lightness, heaviness, void, and mass along a blurred boundary bewteen an interior and exterior space can offers many emotional experiences to people. For me, architecture is making a moment which is continuously changed by the space and time and share the feeling and thought with others. Appreciate your time for taking a look of theese works.

01 BLURRING A SUBJECT AND OBJECT Year: Fall 2020 Instructor: Il Kim Type: Art Gallery Location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA Role: Individual work A typical way for subject (spectator) to observe an object (artwork) in a box-shaped gallery is that a subject has one visibility to few artworks on walls. However, the subject can spectate individually standing objects and other spectators’ reactions about the artworks in an opened cascade gallery space. The space, that is opened from south to north and bottom to top, gives a spacious void for visual connections among an object, spectator, and other spectator.

Hence, a blurred boundary among three components in the gallery offers a different behavioral event, observing each other. A solid roof, which does not show hectic city, and maple trees on the opposite side, which blocks a view of surrounding towers behind the gallery, make a serene space for solely focusing on things in the gallery.

An underground gallery offers a non-daily event to daily commuters in the MARTA station.

After visitors come out from the station, a low and dim entrance is contrast with an exterior garden and drags a visual and physical attention.

Once the visitors enter the building, a sagging ceiling with 30ft different height apertures on opposite sides make different sequential moments.

In a lobby, visitors can look back their journey and exterior garden.

On the way to go up to upper floors, natural lights through apertures on sides usher a visitor’s circulation.

Through staircases along a roof and cityscape outside, visitors can feel that they promenade inside and outside of the building.

In the cascade galleries, a solid concrete ceiling and vegetation on each side block a busy urban traffic outside. So, it helps that spectators can focus on art works and other visitors’ different behaviors inside.

02 CONTINUOUS INFOSCAPES Year: Spring 2020 Instructor: Zhan Chen Type: Library Location: Brooklyn, New York, USA Role: Individual work Highly dense neighborhoods, Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene, has two public libraries; these are too small for about 35,000 residents to offer various public programs. The libraries are solely giving books and reading areas to the public so that an absence of various programs disconnect people’s interest to visit and spend time. Hence, a new public library will offer various programs inside and outside of a building. So, not only readers and non-readers can freely visit and use the library as an intelligently entertaining space.

Continuous Infoscapes, 2020 Spring 15 I 16

The site is a center of two small public libraries in Brooklyn. So, the new library with larger size can be a main distributor hub to other small libraries.

Also, commercial and residential zone surrounds the site. 4 subway transits and many bus stops are locating near the site. Hence, both neighbors and commuters can easily use the new library.

The library gives a gesture to people for more visual and physical interactions.

For a gestural movement, floor plates become one big infinite landscape from the urban circulation to the different programs on different stories in the library.

However, only big landscapes can cause an open plan without a careful articulation among different programs. Since the programs requires different conditions, the manipulated floor plates becomes floors, ceilings, walls, and seats at the same time for articulating different programs.

A cascade staircase from the second floor outskirts the library along different faces of buildings outside. In the third floor, a dedicated reading space has a double height space for ample daylights for readers.

Different height of floors between a reading area and book shelves area in the fourth floor differentiates spatial functions.

03 DANCING IN CHOREOSCAPES Year: Fall 2020 Instructor: Il Kim Type: Art Installation Location: No site Role: Individual work Dance is a primitive movement. When humans dance, they just feel with instinct senses; they see a movement, listen to sounds, and touch others. Later, they express the emotions for communicating with others through bodies. Architecture is a stage for dancers. When dancers move and feel the space with bodies. However, architecture does not move. It is frozen music. It stays and does nothing. It should be melted down and flow unstably by dancers, participants. Hence, the changing flows become “choreoscape” by participants and stimulates to use bodies for standing up or balancing on. The “choreoscape” makes different movements and scape from the static homogeneous space.

Dongkyu Yoon

A grid box is homogeneously repeated space. It is a strongly fixed space; no one cannot change this space. Artificial lights are installed in every cross between grids. So, people can see lighting grids.

The grid box has similar characteristics of “Dance No.4.” Philip Glass’s music is an endless repetition of sounds.

Lucinda Childs’s dance is also iterating a same movement of dancers. Sol LeWitt’s stage and projection show repeated space and movements.

The warped surfaces, which are walls, floors, and ceilings simultaneously, are mostly distorted by participants. Their movements change a weak form of the surfaces.

When people watch and listen to “Dance No.4,” they are just spectators. They do not engage; they cannot make any changes on the strongly designed movements of sounds, dance, architecture, and view.

However, the spectators are able to become another creators or artists, who can design above movements with an autonomy, when they participate into it.

A distorted grid is an ultimate outcome from participants with an autonomy.

Lighting grids are continuously distorted by participants. Shape of the lights are deformed; colors of the lights are altered to a variety of different colors.

These are or reflected on the surfaces.

Hence, people can feel and recognize that they can make their own scape and atmosphere with their movements.

Dancing In Choreoscapes, Fall 2020 31 I 32

Through a journey in the “choreoscapes,” people can barely walk stably because of flexible surfaces.

Hence, they crawl, balance, fall, and jump with their bodies. At the same time, the bodies touch others’ bodies in other paths through the surfaces; they can feel awkward or funny moment among people inside as they touch and see others.

04 INVISIBLE DOLMEN Year: Summer 2020 Instructor: No instructor Type: Pavilion Location: Auburn, Alabama, USA Role: Individual work The very first architecture of human history is a dolmen.

It is a megalithic tomb during the early Neolithic. A dolmen was made of the post and lintel structure in an ad hoc manner, which is a primitive but still available nowadays. Dolmen, architecture in the past is heavy, solid, and material. However, today’s architecture is light, transparent, and immaterial. These qualities allow architecture to be blurred into a natural environment with minimum controls of an architect. Finally, only living human and nature present. This condition is almost similar with a previously existing condition before an intervention of artificial architecture in the nature.

For making the “invisible dolmen,” flowers and green leaves from the surrounding are sandwiched between the layers of purely white low iron laminated glass, . So, vegetations becomes an artificial and natural shed.

PATRICK’S HOME Year: Fall 2018 Instructor: Emily McGlohn Type: Residential Location: Newbern, Alabama, USA Role: Team Work This project aims to keep the construction costs as low as possible for designing and building an affordable house under $20,000. We aimed to adapt to prototype to meet the Fair Housing Act (FHA) size requirements, which is focused on making rooms comfortably navigable to people who use wheelchairs or walkers.
