Architectural design experiments may be conducted as socio-scientific studies that pursue practical results with limited spatial resources of the city. The important thing is that the variables of the experiments are continually changing according to the different culture, society, and even local history: the context.

ADAPTATION

The traditional design method requires architects to be regularly observed and refined to deal with needs of the future conditions that are not compatible with existing design approaches.

SCANDALIZING The role of the architect as a designer who has been conducting a series of experiments on cities and human lives is to excavate imperceptible variables in our cities and apply them to their design for better future of the city. The ultimate individual achievements in the form of a design formula can influence the spirit of the age, inspiring architecture.

ADAPTATION-LAYER Architecture should consider the future conditions and continually change the future needs because of the large capital investment and time involved. Therefore, architecture has to be responsive and adaptive to the social, political, and cultural transformations as well as environmental conditions and extreme circumstances such as terrorist attacks. Layered spaces provide a secure place within overlapped levels, which protects people from extreme situations, and make a transitional space to adapt to prospective spatial demands.

Improvisation October 2015 _Installation Artwork _Collaborative* _Advisor : Youngkuk Yoo *Contribution : idea development, form and light design, installation The ‘IMPROVISATION’ is a project that experiments design variations to find a method to be more responsive from changing condition

There were a series of observasions on various experimental conditions, changing form, light, and color. Variation on material, form, and space as well as light, color, and shadow were interrelated each other. These are similar to the process in analyzing site conditions in architecture, which requires architect to observe lots of unexpected variables.

Nimbostratus

_2014.07 ~ 2014.08 _Competition; Archtriumph _Individual Project _Contemporary Art Museum and Library

The architect should consider the basic program of their architecture as well as the public duty of the city. There was a multi-lateral analysis in approaching the competition’s main topic; it was a contemporary art museum.

The quality of air is a fundumental factor in life. But the Mexico City has the most severe condition in an atmospheric environment so that a lot of civilian have protested on the issue. In this sense, the ‘NIMBOSTRATUS’ designed as a refuge of the city from harsh air condition, forgetting traditional design formula of an art museum.

Cloud as a Refuge from Polluted Air Condition of the Mexico City The air condition in the Mexico City has been severely deteriorated for the past decades, which requires an architect to be served as an environmentalist in designing any architecture in the city. In this complex environmental condition, there may be two possible way of approach on the issue. The first is using a system of mechanical filtration, and the other is to design in the ways that the building controls the surrounding microclimate, considering its shape and site planning.

Although harmful substance level is getting high, it is possible to provide pure air ventilation by filtrating process on the air inlet. Therefore, the museum can serve as a living room of this city by giving safe places for activities for community, reading books, listening music, and appreciating art works.

PROGRAM The building is largely separated into two sections; the museum and the library. The agallery of the art museum exhibits ‘CLOUD’ shape installations that float above the exhibition hall, which interacts with visitors. The public library is on the first floor next to the lobby, which provides easy access to the visitors. Additionally, musical performances can be held on the stage in the library, which inspires people to recover from their exhausting daily life.

SCANDALIZING-SEQUENCE The sociocultural, political-economic conflicts of the city and its historical background are sometimes intentionally concealed, yet in most cases are gradually forgotten, a natural phenomenon by the mechanism of time and memories. This part reconstructs the memory engrained on the land through temporal construction of the space, which emphasizes the observation of the changing tension of the sequential experience of the space.

CONCEPT MODEL Mixed media, iron paint with rusty activaor on cardboard, 18x47 in, 2015


Sense of place which memorizes critical conflicts of city Historical contexts of a city are sparse; but they leave a certain trace. Sometimes these traces are forgotten or even overlooked by more memorable events. The social function of an architect must be deliberately considered as the architecture reflects and preserves the zeitgeist.

Development on an international level involves a large amount of capital as well as a high risk as it contains complexly woven interest groups.

The invisible wound and tension still exist in this area that has been abandoned for years as an empty lot. The site has been separated from noisy downtown by the Pilgrimage Corridor that contains a physical boundary as well as measures of the landscape architecture. The program, put underground, is protected from the outside environment and gazes, which serves as a design symbol of the historical background carved on the land.

The entrance of the building at the level -6000 can only be recognized as the visitors enter into the space that is cut as if to have been damaged by the rusted steel. This symbolizes the conflicts and wounds the site must have experienced and its hiding that follows. The underground space, protected from sound and light noises, provides a deliberately controlled interior environment.

People live in the illusion that they can be an average live despite moving incredibly fast inside of moving trains running by 300km/h. The ‘NEST’ ease the passengers pressure from the gap between the different scale of velocity, and propose some active community spaces to recover their original speed of life.

Defamiliarizing of the familiar

_October 2015 _Installation Artwork _Personal / Collaborative* _Advisor : Youngkuk Yoo *Contribution : idea development, diagram production, installation, photograph Defamiliarizing all of the objects we know is the key point of the design variations

Space can be generated with boundaries comprised of lots of elements such as points, lines, planes, solids, and even light and shadow. This installation project implies the nature of space and its characteristics when there is an intervention between spaces by projection of light and color. These distorted floating shapes resemble the Mobius strip that implies endless continuity, which makes it intertwined endlessly. Defamiliarizing all of the objects as we know is the key point of the design variations.

An appreciation in a different way without any prejudice on an object provides many new interpretations on its nature: a clue to start playing design improvisation. This column contains water and light on and inside itself. Therefore, naturally, there is no load resistance; rather, it bears only its weight. In this regard, how can we understand this column-shape object?

The means of communication between architecture and the city is limited. The physical condition of the city is evaluated with only the elevation, or facade, of the buildings. In this situation, the facade of architecture can be shown as a tone of communication to the city. However, it is the fundamental factor that the people lives and their life style existing in the city.



The facade shows the nature of a place as an interaction between people and architecture A city is an orchestra symphony comprised of thousands of members that are existing buildings. The building plays its own solo music which is materialized into its physical condition: architecture. In this regard, the elevation, the facade, is the voice of the building, and the relationships between them make the harmony of the city.


CONCEPT MODEL Mixed midea, 12X17 in


NEGOTIATION With unique economic-political system of the North Korea, the architecture may be exploited, by authorities, to confine their people within rigorouly controled environment, which enforce city and architecture should have censored design language. But the architecture builds enclosed spaces for people to live in its inside, where people can freely reflect their intrinsic emotion.


SOUTH ELEVATION Mixed media


ALTERNATIVES The north-side elevation toward a ‘beck’ stream was designed to communicate with the city of Kae-sung, a historic town in North Korea. This transparent elevation is different from their old design preference that enforce their architect to design with high rigidity, rather allowing interrelated communication through the facade.

THE ROLE OF ARCHITECT ; MEDIATION BETWEEN DIFFERENCES The modern tribes who migrated from all over the countries to this unknown place are getting used to interacting with the local in- and outside of the building. A different style or order does not mean that they are different, but that they can understand each other through design improvisations from an intermediary, the architect.
