INTRODUCTION I am a licenced architect of Korea studying Architectural Technology at Humber College. In 2014, I was able to experience Canadian architecture by designing a dental office interior and managing the renovation. I coordinated the entire interior design and consulted the clients, two doctors and a manager. Since then, I have designed 5 more projects including 3 dental offices and 2 restaurants. One of them was a expansion of a dental office. I entirely designed the project and preapred the permit drawing with a engineering company. I have gained various skills and qualifications required in Architecture. For 7 years in Korea,I have completed 3 projects by myself and led my competition team into the prize winner. I have worked in various positions over 20 projects and accomplished all the positions. I have worked under fast-paced condition and high pressured envrionment in Korea.

DONCREST DENTAL CENTRE Location : 420 Highway 7, Markham, ON, Canada Program : Dental clinic Project Period : 3 Months, Fall 2014 Role : Interior Design / Project Management (Incl. Construction)

Two young doctors, who have recently expanded their business, were planning a luxurious dental office in a busy mall. They were fully aware of the importance of a “Good design” to patients that it creates deeper relationship with doctors by offering them comfort and warm relaxed atmosphere. They needed luxurious spa-like atmosphere of the entire office. A manager of this office had a sensitive design preferences, and she wanted an exuberant but modern and uncluttered design. I reflected most of her and the doctors’ ideas into my design. In spite of the preliminary design, the design concept was discussed and changed throughout the construction. In order to maintain the consistency of the design, a certain range of a material has been suggested every time, so that they can choose among them. Discussed design were presented back again by 3d simulation program. The construction started on 2, Septmeber and the office opened on 12, November.

3D Modeling 3D simulation has been given to the clients on each phase to help them make their best decision on designing their office. They checked our proposed design and gave their feedbacks. Communication between clients and me is a must to achieve the best outcome, and 3D modeling will be a definite help to reach the goal.

Reception Desk Reception desk was a key element of the entire design concept. The shape was designed to be simple and modern, but a pearl white material with wooden pattern has been used to create a luxurious atmosphere. The reflective hard surface of the desk is giving an exuberant feeling into the monotonous wall colours and sufficiently durable when a patient writes down something on a paper. A tower on the desk is a hidden space for office staffs. Documents can be stored and AV control station has been located under the tower. Construction Due to the hightechnological dental equipment, dental office construction is more complicate than any other types of constructions. I managed the construction on a regular basis. Qualified subcontractors such as electrician and plumber were an asset to reduce errors and complete the job. Inspection was passed on the second trial.

02 NEWCASTLE DENTAL OFFICE Location : 21 King st., Newcastle, ON, Canada Program : Dental clinic Project Period : 1 Months, Fall 2014 Role : Architectural Design / Permit Drawing

One of the doctors in Doncrest Dental Centre requested a design for his another dental office. He and his wife bought an one-story dental office in Newcastle, Ontario and they wanted to expand their old buidling. The expansion was originally planned on after two years. They just wanted to see some design options that are possible to their building. Design concept has been made based on the building location and city context. I tried to avoid too modern design becasue the city has historical context as an old town. However, the facade was composed of three modern window curtain walls so that people on the street can see activities inside of the building. The window curtain wall will make it the most modern building in this town. In the front space of the building, a staircase was planned as the doctor couple requested two separate staircases for their patinets and staffs. After the first presentation of design, the doctors decided to proceed the construction as soon as possible.

WHITBY DENTAL OFFICE Location : 20 Winchester Rd E. Whitby, ON, Canada Program : Dental clinic Project Period : 1 Months, Fall 2014 Role : Interior Design

The site is located in a newly open shopping mall in Whitby. Since the original building had been designated as a heritage building by the city, this building was preserved in the same shape of the original building. Because of that, the unit has two-story height inside. The two-story ceiling height gives me so many inspiration. At first, the unit has been devided into two story. The first floor was for general use and the second floor was for staffs and some special patients. In order to fit in the building identity, which is a heritage building, classical design concept has been applied to the reception area. Natural wood panel and stone tile were used as the primary materials. On the second floor, lots of plants added to create naturalistic atmosphere. The project has been taken over by the other general contractor.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN

Two-story space has a possibility of dinamic interaction between two levels. The first floor was designed to be modern and uncluttered, but the second floor was naturallized by various trees and shrubs. Patients may feel the eco-friendly design of the second floor while feeling the modernity of the reception area on the ground floor.

SUSHI JUN

Location : 1415 Bonhill Rd. Mississaga, ON, Canada Program : Comercial Project Period : 2 Weeks, Fall 2014 Role : Interior Design

The client, a chef of a sushi restaurant downtown, wanted to move his business to a suburban area. Since the restaurant was locted in an industrial area, the client was mainly targeting on take-out services. As his wife prefered vintage-style materials such as brick and natural wood, those materials were chosed for the wall and furniture. However, the overall style was cordinated as modern and simple, which fits to a take-out restaurant.

SANDWICH SHOP Location : 1101 Finch Ave W, Toronto, ON Program : Comercial Project Period : 2 Weeks, Fall 2014 Role : Interior Design / Exterior Design

The site was an abandoned sandwich shop in a factory area. The owner of this building wanted to renovate the entire building envelope including this sandwich shop in the corner. In the stark factory area, the way of being unique is to be naturallistic. This concept also fits to the characteristic of sandwich shop. Natural wood siding was an easy and sustainable material for the concept. In order to reduce the construction cost, I suggested painting for the rest of the wall. A dark colour paint will keep the design simple and modern.

BOJUNG CATHOLIC CHURCH SEE ARCHITECTS

Location : Yong-in, Korea Program : Religious Project Period : 2 Years, 2008 - 2010 Role : Junior Architect / Manager of Competition Team / Construction Supervisor

SEE Architects was invited to participate in a competition for a new Catholic church by one of the church members, who had been ever impressed by my conpanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former project, Seventh Heaven. The church was located in a new town and being planned as the biggest church in Korea. I carried out the project as a junior architect as well as the competition team director. It was extremely tough to lead a team only in the second year of my career. In spite of the pressure of the time limit and the unfamiliarity of religious architecture, my team kept trying to find basic elements of Catholicism and historical contexts of Korean church architecture. Many researches and studies were accompanied throughout the entire competition process.

South Elevation

Vertical shape of mass, depth between structure, and controlled light have been applied to the design. These three basic concepts are not different than what churches had been traditionally pursued on their architecture. However, the interpretation of Bojung Church is modern and simple. Due to the unusual design, there were sharp conflicts among members of the church committee. After the argument, the first prize was granted to my team. I spent two more years to compete the design and experienced supervising construction for a short period. The building construction was completed in 2011. Korean Architectural Award was granted to the building in the same year.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN Old Churches In the middle ages, churches became bigger to imply the absolute being. Various construction methods were applied to build it bigger and taller. People were struck by the magnificence of the churchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scales and spaces. Since the advent of modern architecture, churches have been compromised apon their massive structure for financial and methodological reasons. My team found a clue how to revive the magnificent feeling of church from a church in LA. Verticality and depth were the principle that we focued on.

Verticality From Megalithic culture to Gothic cathedral, massive vertical structure was a principal language of architecture in order to deliver the greatness of God. Although the unrealistically high structure has gone due to the modern reasonability, it is obvious that people get impressed by the vertical structure.

Depth Spatial depth is generated by the thickness of the wall. The feeling of a deep space is one of the reasons why people get struck by the vertical structure. It also will fortify the sacredness of church.

Stairway to Chapel People arrive at the church chapel through a stair which connects a main entrance to the chapel on 3rd floor. While climbing the stair, massive structure of walls, dramatic gaps between the walls, and flowing lights through the gaps will sanctify their journey to the chapel.

A few spaces were stuck out from the exterior wall on the lower-level floors. These protruding boxes reflect the people-oriented policy of church and their concern about surrounding area. Korean Catholic Church has a certain type of recommendation for the church design. On the ground floor, there is a large space for greeting and gathering when the church service happens, but the space is opened to public on the other days. The second floor is where various activities occurs on a regular basis. The stich-out spaces intensely interact with church believers as well as people in the local area.

Stained Glass Stained glass is a traditional feature of Christianity. We applied the stained glass to the gap between vertical structures. Due to the extremely high price of stained glass, the church committee had lots of discussions to make a decision. Finally, they accepted the stained glass. When the coloured lights reaches at the marble stone, it creates exuberant feeling of the building depending on time and season. Entrance hall of Chapel

COMMUNITY CENTRE RENOVATION SEE ARCHITECTS

Location : Seoul, Korea Program : Community Centre Project Period : 3 Months, Summer 2009 Role : Junior Architect (Sole project)

City of Seoul designated 18 outstanding architects for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental improvement project. It was a renovation project turning government service offices into community centres for better use of local residents. The principal architect of my company was included in the design group, and a four-story service centre of local government was assigned to him. This project was given to me individually and I was responsible for the entire design process from consulting clients to preparing construction documents. Managing entire process brings a lot of knowledge and experience. I successfully completed this project, and learned a lot from it.

Original Siteplan The site was located in a conspicuous spot which is right at the end of a large bridge crossing the Han River. As the Han River is the biggest and most important river in Korea, there are lots of parks and entertainment facilities between the river and an express way. Because of that, the building is easily recognizable by people. The surrounding area including the site had been designated as a new town by the city. When the building design was going on, the bridge was being renovated to be an attraction for pedestrians prior to the new town project. After the projects has been done, people were able to see this building while crossing the bridge by walk and enjoying their time in the parks. People also can enjoy a dramatic view of the river from inside of the building.

CONCEPT of DESIGN

It was never easy to design an oval shape of building. Breaking the strong symmetry of the building shape and window layout and harmonizing it with the other part of the renovation was the most critical for the design. I came up with over 30 different designs and discussed with the principal architect.

The locational feature and the activities of the building were applied to the basic design. Smooth and white surface gives the impression of a coastal village in Santorini. It represents the relaxation of the cultural building beside the river. The activity inside the building is expressed by variable windows. Windows are varied in its shape, size, and colour. Each window has its own function and some of them are protruded into a nice view.

However, all different parties had their own requirements. I coordinated the interests of parties by meeting and asking their actual difficulties and needs. Most of them were applied into the design. A new elevator was put into the existing washroom space for seniors and handicapped people. Because of that, women’s washroom had to be moved to the other side.

Since the building was for government use, client was the local government, which means there are many people and parties concerned with this project such as government officers, police officers, and red-cross volunteers. Proposed design for building envelope has been passed by the Design Committee of Seoul and the local government.

MOONLIGHT HILL TOWNHOUSE SEE ARCHITECTS

Location : Busan, Korea Program : Residential Project Period : 1 Months, Winter 2007 Role : Junior Architect (Sole project)

This project is a townhouse for nine families. The site was located on top of a high hill confronting the ocean. Near the hill is the most famous beach in Korea, Heaundae. Therefore, this townhouse is not just residential, but might be a second house for rich people. Client of the project is an owner of a big shipping company in Busan. He was adventurous, and put his value on reputation than his financial benefit. My company had already designed a 25-story condominium for him before, and this was an additional small project following the condo design, which was the biggest project in the year.

VERTICAL VARIATION While making a mass model as an assistant architect in my first year, I came up with an interesting idea. Since the site was located on top of a high cliff and steep slope, the skyline of the village was a very variable. I found out that the building mass coordinates better with the surrounding context when the masses vary vertically. My idea was accepted to the project, and I managed the design process. I researched various building details and materials for this project.

The colours of the building represents the variation of the building shape. Scheme of the colour was inspired by the colour of the ocean, which the building is confronting. The colour variation can stress more upon each vertical structure.

EULJI-RO FIRE STATION SEE ARCHITECTS

LOCATION : Seoul, Korea PROGRAM : Public Office PERIOD : 1 Months, Spring 2009 MY ROLE : Structural Design The site of this project is located right next to the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), designed by Zaha Hadid. This project had much trouble because of DDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong exterior. For this project, I was responsible for designing the structure and the windows. I had to solve structural problems to have the shape of a mass, in the form of the body of a firetruck, lifted in the air. Three separate walls played the role of supporting the structure in the air. Therefore, windows had to be designed so that structural problems would not arise. It was the core and some columns that supported the structure, but walls were necessary to resist the shearing force. I solved the problem by using the minimum number of walls to suit the overall design.
