H e s a y s , “ Th e f i v e senses maintain unique pathways with the brain, which allow them to transfer information from the environment to the brain.� His short-term professional goal is to participate in as many events, experiences, or projects as he can. During his education, he believed that studying is never finished and knowledge will be his strength in competing and working with other designers. His long term professional goal is working in an international architecture firm, and participating in culturally different projects. At his professional level, he wants to have an ability to come up with a remedy to all international challenges.

C O R N E R S TO N E An important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based
CONCEPT
A stone that forms the base of a corner of a building, joining two walls
S TAT E M E N T As if an inscription on the cornerstone of a certain building represent its architect, date of being built, an important time of the year, inscriptions of inside the store will represent product’s quality and credibility. Reflection of glasses will depict the spiritual aspect, fine seams, and lines of marble and tile will present the simplicity. Not only definition of the cornerstone is a foundation and a corner of a building, it is also a figurative name of Jesus in the Bible. As if Jesus serves as the foundation of the Church as well as for each Christian’s individual life, an idea of a cornerstone will serve as the quality and foundation to the client and customers.

Yo u w e r e a l l w o r r i e d w h e t h e r I a m a b l e t o s t a n d u p f o r m y s e l f . Th e r e w a s a t i m e when I felt that everything I have been doing was right, there was a time when I felt everything I did was regretful, and there was a time when I decided to knock on doors that are waiting for me to open. I dedicate this book not only to myself but greatly to my super hero, mom. When my family pushed me to go through the deep and dark tunnel, my dearest friends, Suriya Shuhrat, Minseo Son, Hyojoon Lim, you all were a glimpse of light from far that navigated me to find the way. Special thanks to my first supervisor as well as a mentor, Risa Ogroskin, who always has been willing to teach me with open arms. I am more practiced and professional thanks to your direction and caring.
