2013 SOLAR DECATHLON SPRING 2012 UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS

The 2013 Solar Decathlon house DesertSol, takes advantage of the Mojave Desert’s renewable resources to produce a sustainable home that is self-reliant in the severe desert climate. Its unique name was derived directly from our team's goals for the project. It is a house that is designed to respond to the climate of the Mojave Desert by using the precious natural resources. Its design exemplifies an ultra-eďŹƒcient home that educates and inspires the inhabitants of the Mojave Desert through the responsible use of the sun and water. I was part of the schematic design phase, focusing on floor plan design and door/window research. We tried to integrate the most up-to-date technologies and traditional construction methods.

THE REHABILITATION INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO FALL 2013 INTEGRATED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS

Our team, team of four people, focused on creating maximum value under the realistic temporal, technical, legal, and budgetary limitations. Using the new Ability Institute of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), designed by HDR and Gensler, as a teaching project, our team learn about the integration of building system, functionality, and aesthetics. The state-of-the-art RIC facility will represent a new form of healthcare delivery, which embraces the philosophy of creating ability. It will be a place where people, not patients, regain ability. It will also be a place of collaboration for multiple disciplines, and support the concept of translational medicine where clinical care, physicians, researchers, and students coming together.

THE NEW NEWBERRY SPRING 2014

INTEGRATED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS

The city of Chicago, especially the location of our district, is opaque and active. Not only one needs to think about the purpose and use for a research library, but the location. Site plays a big role because of its challenging aspects: 1) busy street, 2) L-Line running right next to the site. The separation of traďŹƒc and noise are two major issues to consider. Looking at the location and project type it is very ironic, but this is an opportunity to enhance the community by creating a niche that people can relax and enjoy. Additionally, within one or two blocks, it is an open area including many lower height buildings. It is rare to have that openness beyond that point, which is an immense advantage to open up to the public as a link to major functions such as school, libraries, oďŹƒces, and retail around the area. Masses will rise from underground, truly engaging the ground to gain openness to the site. It will be crucial to separate public and private circulation inside, so layers of spaces and connections will allow tranquility to the patrons. For this purpose, more public programs will protect the private programs from the most outer layer, and one can arrive at the reading rooms and research programs in the central location within the building.

A SPIRITUAL RETREAT SPRING 2014

DETAIL AND ARCHITECTONICS

This project was to focus on designing a spiritual retreat that has a 10 ft by 10 ft buildable boundary limit. Another unique requirements is that there is no specific site to the project. I designed a spiritual retreat that people can take a journey to find the “hidden jewel”, referencing the Bible that says that “Heaven is a hidden jewel”. Extending the idea of the the jewel, form was derived by the purpose of carving out a jewel in a forest where it’s separated from the busy and chaotic life style today. This will provide a very peaceful place where people would experience an encounter with God, resulting in solitude and serenity. This gives a rare opportunity to reflect on oneselves and refresh. Therefore, people will seek to find this hidden jewel. This is the first time I’ve made a model in monolithic concrete, which helped me understand the construction of the structure.

PRODUCTION OF MEANING SPRING 2012 EXPLORING TECTONICS IN ARCHITECTURE

This was the first project where I explored in concrete in depth. Being exposed to the material and the constructing methods, the simpliest subtle details had the strongest gesture to the project. It’s most difficult to achieve the purest form with only a hand-full of materials, and literally only with the material itself. This revealed me to a whole new level of understanding for the characteristics, behavior, and limitations of concrete. I explored into the tectonics in how basic construction materials, such as wood, steel, and concrete would integrate. It’s an ongoing investigation and experience which needs to be more deeply discovered.

PRODUCTION OF MEANING FALL 2014 EXPLORING LIGHT AND SHADOW

This is my second attempt in building a concrete object.

Taking from the first challeanges and knowledges, I explored in various methods of casting a lamp out of concrete by implementing dierent materials for formwork. I’ve tried multiple ways to cast concrete in unique ways with low budget. This was to explore the feeling of light. My initial concept was to utilize the idea of object-embedded concrete, which gives unique textures to the surface. Then it struck me to capture nature in the design. The leaves were something that is light and dynamic in movement, and in contrast, concrete is heavy. I concluded to combine the two together. Cherry Blossom came to mind because of its natural red and pink light quality when going under them. I wanted to capture that experience into the lamp, which resulted in the following.

CEREMONY UNDER CLOUDS SUMMER 2009 AREUMDAWOON CHURCH OF LAS VEGAS

This was a three day interior/construction renovation.

The client, Kang Lim, planned a wedding at the church, which was a commercial warehouse with exposed ceilings, which were asthetically unpleasant. He suggested to cover the ceiling with white curtains. This not only covers it, but acts as a light reflector when lit with color changing LEDs. This completely changed the feeling of the interior by creating an aurora eect. The hanging process took three days, with simple wire connections to the trusses.

PROFESSIONAL WORK SUMMER 2012 TSNET CONVENTION SHOW DESIGN

For about two months, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a convention show design & construction company, which had 5 people. The team were mostly in the warehouse producing prefabricated interior systems for specific convention shows around the US and maintaining equipments. This required prefabrication in-shop, testing 1:1 scale mock-up models, and precise packaging. We would constantly think new ways of putting things together and methods of packaging, depending on the clients’ demands.

Cutting big sheets of material with the precision down to every millimeter was crucial. The owner of the firm demanded perfection. After shipping, we would go to various convention shows to do on-site construction. This was a huge learning curve to understand prefabricated construction, material properties, and packaging because it all comes down to budget of the firm.

PHOTOGRAPHY 2 YEARS PROJECT EXPLORING NATURE & ARCHITECTURE

This is a collection of photography dedicated to graduate education of 2 years. My love of capturing awesome architecture, nature’s beauty, and momentary moments in life. Meaning of life is also embracing and experiencing what’s around us. The only shame would be that I don’t have an expensive technology to capture, so I always use my Iphone to capture these moments. Regardless, that doesn’t stop me from embracing awesome moments.
