CLAGUE MIDDLE SCHOOL Fall 2016 l ARCH552 Institutions Studio at the University of Michigan Institution Ann Arbor, MI Instructor l Julia McMorrough

In American schools, the question of STEM vs. STEAM misses crucial points: More than it reflects a fear of falling behind the rest of the world in training a tech-savvy workforce, STEM promotes and makes official a national suspicion of arts and culture, and despite its protestations to the contrary, the introduction of STEAM feels more like the ultimate eye-roll: a late and grudging acceptance of a non-quantifiable “other.” Too little too late, it’s an institutionalized reinforcement of the artsy kid getting picked last for the [s]TEAM. The project addresses the design of American middle school with an eye of the pedagogy of art education.

SEOUL WATERWORKS MUSEUM EXPANSION & RENOVATION Spring 2013 l Graduation Thesis at the University of Seoul Preservation & Renovation Seoul, South Korea Instructor l Sun-young Rieh

Ddukdo water treatment plant, which was the first modern water filtration plant in korea, has been renovated as dduksum waterworks museum. But it’s not popular enough in the context because of its bad accessibility and the lack of contents of the exhibition. My project proposes a renovation and a expansion of this museum. In the trace of the waterworks industry, the museum has diverse historic elements under the ground. These can be excavated and revealed to people so that they experience ‘the time’ between the past and the present. This proposal is not only about a single building. It is about the entire landscape of historic site.

Re-structuring of the Existing Floor Located in the heritage protection area, this museum is constrained from expanding vertically. Thus, the main design strategy comes from manipulating the floor surface of the existing structure. By removing certain portion of an upper layer of the existing floor inside the filtration structure, a floor slab of the new museum can be overlapped with the old structure.

99 HOUSES; HACK INTO A BURGLAR’S NETWORK Winter 2017 l ARCH562 Proposition Studio at the University of Michigan Housing & Algorithmic Design Fitzgerald, Detroit, MI Instructor l V. Mitch McEwen

Starting from the design thinking based on a refusal to the burglary issue of American single family housing, rather than a typical design process of “problem and solution”, this project aims to propose a series of 99 houses in Fitzgerald, Detroit, which are generated by grasshopper algorithm. A radical, algorithm-driven design idea dismantles the existing subdivision of American housing district and re-arrange the placement of houses so that the houses can have less darker spaces which act as a network for burglars’ circulation. Also, the algorithm creates various sizes and arrangements of windows of each house. The variation of windows influences the vision and the surveillance effect of the inhabitants and dictates the shape of the surrounding houses.

NATURAL HEALING CENTER FOR TEENAGERS Spring 2012 + Fall 2013 l Architectural Design V Studio + Vlll Studio at the University of Seoul Sustainable Architecture + Construction Documentation Seoul, South Korea Instructor l Sun-young Rieh + Chung-kee Lee

This project is a result of two separate studio’s work. Based on the project from the sustainable architecture studio in 2012, another semester has been spent to developing the schematic design into the construction documentation in 2013. In the middle of the urban green axis, a natural healing center for teenagers is designed as a part of a small mountain(Kkachi-san) in contrast with the adjacent urban context. Following the basic principles of sustainable architecture, the entire passive design has been developed in response to climatic loads such as wind, air-flow, water, daylight, solar access. Moreover, in order to reduce energy uses, active technologies are widely used in the building.

HANNAM MEDIATHEQUE Fall 2011 l Architectural Design lV Studio at the University of Seoul Culture & Building System Seoul, South Korea Instructor l Seunghoi Koo

The site is located on the ‘border’ in Hannam, where three distinctive characteristics co-exist; High quality detached housing district, low quality residential area and one of the busiest commercial area in Seoul. But there is no adequate open space where people can get together and relax. There are a lot of public parks in Seoul, but what we need is not ‘the amount’ and ‘the size’, but ‘the appropriacy’. By taking open space into the architecture, it penetrates the existing density and this mediatheque can be a small park combining with the cultural function. Moreover, this open space provides us with open view to the south.

COLLECTIVE HOUSING FOR GWACHEON CITY Fall 2012 l Architectural Design Vl Studio at the University of Seoul Collective Form & Social Relationship Gwacheon, South Korea Instructor l Man-shik Hong

In the context of high density in South Korean cities, the hardest issue in the collective housing is how to meet the 2 essential requirements for living. One thing is how to retain the amount of housing units, and the other thing is how to have horizontal public spaces. Apartments in South Korea are the best examples which only focus on the former. And this is the most dominant housing type in our cities. In this project, I propose the combination of the horizontal housing and the vertical housing. On the lower level, the housing units are placed like a small village. Each residential mass has its own courtyard where chances for the community can probably be made. And between the residential masses, there are lots of sidewalks for pedestrians, which enhances the possibility of making use of outdoor spaces. Small towers are placed upon the lower podium regarding the density, the sunlight and the view to the surrounding area.

BUKCHON DISTRICT TOURISTS CENTER Spring 2011 l Architectural Design lll Studio at the University of Seoul Renovation Seoul, South Korea Instructor l Inho Song

Bukchon district, which is located on the eastern side of Gyeongbokgung (palace), is one of the most historic place in Seoul.

Since this place used to be a residential area for government officers in Chosun dynasty, traditional types of residences are well preserved in this area. Currently, it is a highly visited place by tourists and being strictly preserved by Seoul city government. This project proposes a information center for the visitors in Bukchon by renovating a existing normal building in the middle of this area.

Multimedia information wall is realized on the glass facade of 1st and 2nd floor of the existing building, and it can create a nod for the tourists without building a fancy architecture which shows off itself.

GRIDSPACE Winter 2017 l ARCH516 Representation at the University of Michigan Research & Representation Non-site Instructor l Erik Hermann

Based on a prominent precedent in the history of modern architecture(Block 1 IBA by O. M. Ungers), this academic course of architectural representation explores the possibilities of reinterpretation of grid systems in architecture. The series of design works demonstrates how to understand and diversify the use of grid in architecture by employing various representational techniques such as lineworks, graphic, collage, and model making.

INVERSE SQUARE LAW LIGHTING Fall 2016 l ARCH537 Fabrication Workshop at the University of Michigan l In Collaboration with Kimball Kaiser & Ryan Tretow Lighting Fixture Ann Arbor, MI Instructor l Dustin Brugmann

Steel functions as the the lightweight medium for perfectly capturing the inverse-square law. As light travels through each green disc, the light becomes equally more diffused while generating a gradient of reflected colored light; amplifying the visual experience beyond a typical point source fixture. A pure, roll-formed and perforated plate steel tube is all that is required to foster the desired lighting condition. The custom linear perforation pattern allows for partial opacity(40%), making visible the reflected glow as well as the dynamic gradiant of lighting intensity acheived via the inverse square law concept itself.

IBM KOREA HEADQUARTERS Jun 2014-Mar 2015 l As a Designer at Gensler Workplace Interior Seoul, Korea Design Director l K Chung (Gensler)

Yeouido is a large island in the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. It is Seoul’s main business and investment banking district.

Located in the center of Yeouido, International Finance Centre Seoul(commonly known as IFC Seoul) has been designated as a new place for IBM Korea headquarters. Changing from technology-based firm to consulting-based firm, the most important goal of IBM Korea’s relocation was to make “cultural transformation by workplace transformation”. From schematic design to construction administration, I was involved in every phase of the project. In particular, I worked on client analysis, concept study, space planning, 3-dimensional design, visualization, finish selection, shop drawing review & etc.

HANNAM RESIDENCE Jan 2014-Mar 2014 l As an Intern at SKM Architects Residential Seoul, Korea Design Director l Hyunsoo Han (SKM Architects)

Hannam Residence is located on the hill within Hannam-dong UN Village with fine view of Han river to the south-east and Namsam Mountain to the north-west. With the concept of a ‘resort-like house’, this was an attempt to suggest a new liftstyle for enjoying the natural landscape and the arts at least at tome in the routine urban life. In particular, the greatest perspective was secured to provide a place with natural scenery and a relaxed life like a distant resort. As an intern, I was invoved in the design development phase of the project. Responsibilities included making physical models and revision of design development drawings in collaboration with the Project Architect.

HYUNDAI MOTORSTUDIO GOYANG WORKPLACE Jan 2016-Jun 2016 l As a Designer at Gensler Workplace Interior Goyang, Korea Design Director l Philippe Paré (Gensler)

The concept of the work space of Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang is founded on principles of rational efficiency, yet still aspires to capture the emotional side. One that cares for the individual beyond the work itself. A workspace that is comfortable, delightful, and humane. It’s about an environment that captures all the diverse needs of working and living within the client’s community. In this project, I was involved in all phases of design, which range from the consulting phase to the design development phase. As a designer, I especially worked on 3-dimensional visualization, architectural finish selection and 2-dimensional drawings for bid document.
