Brewery Link Existing building, Trestle
Project: Location: Category: Time:
Historical building rebuild 927 Tyler Street, St louis, USA Academic, individual work February 2016
This is the old building revolution project. The site is located in the north part of St Louis half mile away from the Mississippi river. The site is near the exit of the highway and the trestle. The area is full of the vacant land and the brick five level building used to be the market and bar. The concept of the project is using the existing building as the rest stop for the people walking or biking on the trestle adding the brewery function to offer the food and drink. The building also can be the exit for the trestle.

Fabric Recycling Industory, Housing
Project: Location: Category: Time:
Industory area active Dongdaemun area, Seoul, Sourth Korea Academic, individual work June 2016
The area do not have large factory any more, the workers without working place still live in the street. This project aim to combine the housing with the factory function to crate place for the original workers to use their skill.
