01. project/ Harold Washington Library Renovation

Site: Chicago, IL professors/ David Brininstool & Andy Metter CBD studio/ Group work with Yilin Guo & Hyungho Joo Spring 2015 The Harold Washington Library Center is the central library for the Chicago Public Library System. The current situation in the library is people who visit there only consume the information without making their own thoughts or creating new information. By taking the term of THINK TANK- it makes own strategy or thought based on relationship between people who have different interests and knowledges, renovating interstitial space to create its own information.

01. project/ Urban Paradox

Site: Chicago, IL professors/ Christopher Groesbeck & Monica Thadhani Cloud studio/ Group work with Hyungho Joo & Daewen Kim Fall 2015 Chicago is an incomplete work of art, with a prepoderance of parking lots, undefined west and south boundaries and a collection of expressways that separate the city, creating edges of ambiguity. The intent was that this site be used to focus on the issue of jobs and generating the industries of the future.

This would become be the new center of for the City of Chicago, merging technology, culture and ecological responsibility.

The master plan is focused on people easy access and people friendly area at the initial stage. To satisfy this, by using height difference between Roosevelt road to the site. As a result, it has two different roads having different level.

First one is a highline for people and the other thing is a road for cars and people. Both of them help to become people friendly area in terms of accessibility.

The goal of the site is to provide not only job opportunities to people, but also big open space for hanging out.

To satisfy both at the same time, a campus concept which provides job opportunities and open space.

Each campus has their own identities and it becomes attraction point to guide people into the campus.

03. project/ Great Lakes Educational Center Site: Duluth, MN professor/ David Woodhouse CBD Studio/ Group Work with Pilar Ribot Fall 2014

This project is to develop designs for a public-facing Great Lakes Education Center that would be one node in a network of centers sited in cities on the five lakes. Each center would be a joint effort taken on by local municipalities in collaboration with the National Park Service or Parcs Canada. The Great Lakes Education Centers would provide public education programs, support citizen science initiatives, and provide space for public forums, public workshops, research symposia, and host meetings of the Great Lakes Commission. The Centers, as key cultural institutions in each city, would also host affiliated conservation groups and community initiatives related to the cultural, historical, and social contexts of Great Lakes basin.

Site Plan The building blends with the water and the nature.

The path is the way to experience the building and the lake. Since it has a slope, it becomes the only way to enter the building and it provides people the feeling of opaque sculpture and the outspread view of the lake.

This view becomes a special experience when people are crossing the two-wall strech.
