ALUMINUM PUNCHED PANEL SCREENING

2017 Office building remodeling location : Seoul, South Korea type : office land area : 944.80m2 GFA : 6319.10m2

The building located at one of the busiest district in Seoul with the highest floating population from the subway station desperately needs renovation. All underground floors and the floors from 1st to 3rd are to be renovated, and one additional floor needs to be provided at the top. The tenants from 4th to 6th floor will be using the building while construction. The special requests from the clients are:

Work responsibility Design development, Permit document production Supervise cooperative companies

1) draw the pedestrian’s attention and give unique image to them; 2) provide maximum openness to the lower floors from 1st to 3rd; 3) requires adequte space use for the lower floors to be rent to single tenant; 4) absolutely no disturbance to the tenants from 4th to 6th floor. The slabs of 2nd and 3rd floor are partially opened to provide better spacial experience. Since the floors from 1st to 3rd will be taken out a lease to one tenant. Main facade from 1st to 3rd floor is renovated with full height clear window and the aluminum punched panels are applied to the upper portion. This is to provide maximized openness to the lower floors and draw full attention to the building.

Diagram of Aluminum punched panel idea The aluminum panels need to have openings to provide natural daylight into the upper floors from 4th to 7th floor, and the openings can not exceed 25% to maintain adequate degree of smoothness. Triangular opening is applied, and there are mainly 3 variations of the panels to be manufactured (“A” and “A-1” are the same panels, but 180 degree rotated). The rectangular aluminum panel is subdivided by diagonal line from upper right corner to lower left. On the subdivided surface, there are 2 different types of opening, one with 10% and another with 25% of the total area. The variation can be made by mixing these 2 types. “A” and “A-1” TYPE are the combination of the two and it makes total of 17.5% of opening. “B” TYPE has 10% and “C” TYPE has 25%. This system offers interesting and dynamic image of the building to the pedestrians on the street by simply mixing the 3 variations.

Photo of the building under construction (2018.05.02) Construction began on March 2018, and it is expected to be completed on September 2018. The photos show the building covered with double scaffold and construction screen. The bluish screen already starts to show the future image of the building by dividing the upper and the lower portion. The true essence of the architecture really can only appear during construction. The main construction will not proceed to interior construction, since it is impossible to predict what the tenants want to have in the space. The interior construction will be open to the tenant’s taste.

OPTIMIZATION

2016 Multi-unit dwelling location : Daejeon, South Korea type : residential land area : 2,581.10m2 GFA : 35,731.89m2

Hana-Bank gradually reduces the number of their branches, due to increased use of computerized system. The online and automated services are widely in use these days, so some of the physical locations have become no longer need. For this reason, the client wanted to turn the branches into officetels which can effectively make profit in Korea.

Work responsibility Design development, Permit documents production

In order to optimize the property, parking number was the key in this project. Since the site area is relatively small, underground mechanized parking garage has to be provided. If the required number of parking space become too many, it will also require too much underground construction. It was necessary to find the number with proper and reasonable excavation. The number comes from the number of unit by regulation. Therefore, at this point, how to mix the unit type(studio, one-room, and two-room) becomes critical, and this was also related to regulation on floor area ratio. It also has to be respected. My team studied numerous combination of units to optimize the design.

THE NEW PLATFORM

2016 International Design Competition 2nd place location : Jeonnam, South Korea type : culture/exhibition land area : 17,465.00m2 GFA : 12,626.99m2

The building site was originally a railway station, and it has been no longer in use after the facility was move to another location for expansion. The city released the master plan which contains the massive park development couple of years ago, and the museum is in the middle of it.

Work responsibility Design development, Final work production

Due to its functional history, the site has strong axis from west to east. The rail track has already been removed, but the trace of it can still be found. The park development will be realized along the trace of the rail track. How to naturally be sat on the long linear park will be one of the main questions to be solved. To the north and the south of the site, it has strong oppositional characteristics. The site is located where city and nature meets. How to deal with this strong conflict will also need to be solved. Our response to the problem was to develop two platforms, Culture Platform and Green Platform, to the north and the south, and from the west to the east to reinforce the continuity and also absorb the surrounding environment. The platforms wasnt to be used for buffer zone to slowly meet with the oppositional site condition. The museum facility is located in the middle of the two platforms. It is made up with several small volumes to effectively embraces the outdoor platforms to indoor exhibition area.

SIMPLICITY FOR SUPER-COMPLEXITY

2013-2014 M.S. Arch Master Thesis Project

The idea of this project is to investigate the possibility of an underground airport with passenger facilities below and aircrafts above with minimum over-ground space.

Academic adviser - Arthur S. Takeuchi - Mahjoub Elnimeiri

An important advantage is the possibility of loading and unloading passengers at two or more aircraft entrances thereby shortening the turn-around time of aircrafts. This accessibility can be more easily managed when approached from below. Furthermore, an underground facility is expected to provide several additional advantages:

Project adviser - Derek A.R. Moore - Ray clark

1) greater freedom for aircrafts to get into position to efficiently load and unload; 2) potential for aircrafts to power-in and power-out of gate areas omitting the need for towing; 3) shorter walking distances for passengers due to greater compactness; 4) potential for an effective and efficient Automated People Mover (APM) system; 5) greater potential for systematic airport expansion when needed; 6) potentially reduced operating cost for ventilation, heating, and cooling.

Perspective view at terminal (B1) The terminal will have ample curb space to accommodate large influxes of passengers who choose to come by car, ample check-in space, ample space for security, customs, immigration operations, etc, and potential to accommodate many kinds of concessions, conference centers, theaters, etc. The inner circumference of the terminal will also provide passengers with easy access to nearly all modes of transportation and walkable access to covered parking below the park. Above all, its most desirable features will be the nice and ample landscaped view and natural daylight that will suitably complement and support the underground facility at its busiest edge.

Underground airport

Graduate work

Perspective view at international APM station (departure / B2) The APM system operating on the lowest floor will presumably provide the primary means of passenger movement within the whole facility, even though sky-lighted underground pedestrian concourses are also provided. The system must maximize passenger convenience and movement within the huge facility, and also provide effective segregation where required. Domestic and international APM basically runs on different routes and will only stop at designated stations. In the domestic APM systems, 2 tracks will provide for cars running in both directions and 4 tracks in the international section will do the same while segregating departing and arriving passengers.

Underground airport

Graduate work

Perspective view at gate waiting area (B1) The idea reduces the jet blast influence by restricting it, so to make parallel parking with power-in and power-out possible. Two gates occupy the small boarding space. The small boarding space is named Gate Kiosk, and it works almost like a landing of an escalator at the apron level. Passengers come up from an underground waiting area, and just check their ticket before boarding. There is provided a small waiting area within the apron level kiosk, just in case there is little delat in enplaning.

Underground airport

Graduate work

In lieu of a monumental high-ceilinged terminal usual in most contemporary airports an alternative was sought that might be a little more compatible with the “Underground” concept underlying this project. Coupled with the need to relate many of the terminal functions to the outlying and far-flung gates in an even-handed manner, the desirability of centralizing such functions as rail transit systems, vehicular roadways and parking facilities and last but not least, to ensure a robust and centralized site for hotels, convention halls and other related activities that over time will naturally complement a major transportation hub, the centralized landscaped Park came about which could be gradually developed to its full potential just as the airport itself will reach its ultimate capacity. This Park will also provide the desired “center” both physically and symbolically while also integrating nature at a suitable scale with one of the modern era’s most advanced large-scale technologies.

The Farnsworth Barn

AN ADDITIONAL FACILITY FOR AN EXISTING VISITING CENTER

2011 Summer Design Build Studio

The Farnsworth House, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1951, is one of the most important works of 20th century architecture. Originally designed as a country retreat for Dr. Edith Farnsworth, the house today belongs to the National Trust for Historic Preservation and is open to the pubric. More than 1000 visitors annually make the pilgraimage to this masterpiece of Modernism. The existing visitor center is in a desperate need of an additional office space, storage and an exhibition space for artifacts and original furniture of the Farnsworth House. *The design is simple and compact, the round floor plan creating a natural exhibition space. The interior walls are segmented while the exterior walls feature vertical board and batten siding to create a continuous curve. The walls are free from openings providing a place to display objects while a simple and elegant lantern sits atop the space to allow the penetration of natural light. * https://iit.edu/news/iittoday/?p=2347 project is published on Archdaily : https://www.archdaily.com/213811/barnsworth-exhibition-center-by-iit-design-build-studio

Court House

A PRIVATE RESIDENCE WITH TWO COURTS

2010 Fall Horizontal Space Problem

A ‘professional’ couple desires a residence in the city with ample space in which to entertain friends and to display a collection of modern paintings and sculpture encompassing notable works from Cubism to “Pop Art”. In addition to the usual basic requirements provide a studio or study that, depending on the arrangement, could possibly double as an overnight quest facility. If not, provide a separate overnight guest facility. Provide off-street parking for at least one auto. Provide a suitable scheme in the ‘Open Plan’ mode. Idea of ‘Space Prolem’ understands structure as an architectural factor; space as an architectural problem; proportion as a means of architectural expression; the expression value of materials; painting and sculpture in their relationship to architecture.

A PRIVATE ART GALLERY

2011 Spring Vertical Space Problem

A collector of contemporary art (Cubism, to Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art) needs a space to exhibit and store the collection. From time to time the owner plans to use the facility to entertain guests that at times may number only a handful and sometimes as many as 30 persons. The facility should also accomodate overnight guests in a comfortable manner. The facility will be a standalone annex to the main residence nearby, both suitated on a slightly slopping (11% slope NW to SE), lightly wooded typically mid-western site. The advantage of steel structure is in making walls free from the structural function. This merit enables the curtainwall systems to be easily adopted to the structure, and this naturally lead extensive use of glass. Therefore, the space can flow from outside to inside, and vice versa. However, constructing an art gallery with steel structure and curtainwall system is a big question by itself, since art works need to be protected from sun light to avoid corrosion.

Undergraduate work

Building Component Diagram The primary structural system consists of two-way structural steel framing, and it is of a grid of 6’ with structural bay size of 18’ by 18’. The gravity support for the roof is provided by steel pipe columns also spaced at 18’. At the lowest level, in order to retain the earth load, a system of brick load bearing walls is adopted. For the upper portion of elevation is constructed by curtainwall system with colored glass to reduce the amount of natural light penetrating into the gallery area. The roof is equipped with operable window to provide a soft and diffused natural sunlight into the space inside.

Section The space inside is composed with 3 mezzanine and the lowest floor. These mezzanine have to be appropriately placed in accordance with proportion, as well as function. The floors are connected by stairs and an elevator for handicapped person. Those vertical circulations also have to be carefully located. Making the space look strictly divided and too systematic does not help. Space need to naturally flow. For this project, mezzanine are located at the level of 8’, 11’, and 21’. Some portions of it are overlapping each other and some are not. The stairs are not concentrated at one location, but split to let the space flow from one place to another. Within the space the stairs are not only connecting the floors, but also complete the space.

Art gallery

Undergraduate work

Interior photo of the physical model The upper portion of facade is constructed by curtainwall system. Depending on the color of the glass, the amount of light penetrating into the space will vary. For this project, black, grey and white are applied. This will help to protect art works from corrosion, due to sunlight. The nice landscape surrounding the building provides pleasant view to outside. For this reason, the lowest level where the most of the supporting functions are located is opened with clear glass window. Consequently, the upper part controls the sun by its envelope and the lower part maximizes the view to the surrounding area.

A LOW-RISE APARTMENT

2011 Fall Special Project Research

A collector of contemporary art (Cubism, to Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art) needs an apartment to reside in the downtown Chicago area. In addition to the usual basic requirements of residence, more than 2 sides of the apartment unit needs to be fully opened to city skyline. From this, try to explore the possibility of implication of the Space Problem idea to the urban setting. It does not have to accomodate many units on the one floor, but should show the possibility of application in various sizes.

Undergraduate work

Interior photo of the physical model A piece of art does not only exhibit its aesthetic pleasure, but in architecture, it also work as one of the architectural element to provide better quality of space. Only when it makes harmony with other elements, such as walls, columns, volumes, furniture, and etc., architects can provide comfortable space to the client. There is an interesting point when art works play an important role in the architecture. It really changes the space, and sometimes it seems some paintings and sculptures are made to be placed at the certain location. This project was the third Space problem project, but none of the painting or sculpture are repeatedly implied. Even though millions and billions dollar Picasso looked decent at one place, it can not be simply placed at the other location. It just does not work that way. Finding the right thing and right place is the key. Architects should be able to tell.

Typical unit floor plan There are 2 units on the each floor. In order to test its diverse range of applications, it was planned to have different size, one with 6 bays and another with 4. At the center, 2 elevators(cargo and passenger) and 2 emergency stairs are located. All the vertical circulations are accessible from both main and sub-entrance.

Typical unit elevation Steel structure with curtain wall system enables to build glass tower. This allows the outdoor and indoor space to be related to each other. In this case, the units are fully opened to city skyline. The surroundings can be seen through the building. This may be the glass tower that Mies ever wanted to build. From this, it definitely proves that the implication of the Space Problem idea to the urban setting is feasible.
