To Whom It May Concern, It gives me a great pleasure to recommend Hwea Eun Kang. I am a lecturer in the University of Pennsylvania at the Architecture Department and the co-founder and principal of HWKN (Hollwich Kushner), a New York City based architecture firm. I had the opportunity to teach Hwea Eun in my third year design studio in 2012 at the University of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Design. She is an extraordinary individual with great design sensibility and skills. It is my pleasure to recommend her for employment at your company. Hwea Eun exceeded expectations in all aspects of the studio including research, programming and design work for a compact multi-family housing project in New York City. With her advanced education and versatile professional background in Interior Design, she was deeply engaged in all levels of the design process, constantly coming up with new ideas. She has demonstrated exceptional skills in producing diagrams, 3D modeling, and rendering, working quickly and coherently throughout the semester. I was impressed with her visual presentation skills in video production and digital media as she always took extra measures to learn and explore new methods. Hwea Eun also exhibited excellent skills in hand-built models and produced an outstanding acrylic model for her final presentation. She showed great time management skills that allowed her to successfully complete her studio work. Her work was inspiring and very well received. She was always amiable and collaborated remarkably well with her classmates. Her presence in our studio was not only an absolute pleasure for me but also a source of inspiration and encouragement to other students. I can say with confidence that Hwea Eun was an incredible student and I believe she will make an outstanding contribution in a professional environment. If I can answer any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me directly.

THE ECOLOGY OF MASS UPENN_ARCH:601 FALL2011 INSTRCTOR:Matias Del Campo LOCATION: mariahilferstraße 13 - 1060 Vienna, Austria PROJECT: Housing

HYPERBOLIC FOUNTAINS Interest in the project is hyperbolic and fountains. Hyperbolic was the most popular architectural tool in the history for long years. In new feel I was combining with hyperbolic and math. Hyperbolic ruled surfaces are making mathematics order of structure and stress. Those math are make the order of hyperbolic ruled surface into the site. Using the Boolean operation to cutting out the geometric of hyperbolic surface. That change of the sense of the hyperbolic space. Intersection of hyperbolic in interior space make movement of spatial. Each unit is toward to the north and south. Each unit needs more day lighting during the daytime. Therefore, using the south part of the dark area to using the Boolean tool to make the hyperbolic courtyard to make more daylight. In the courtyard, hyperbolic ruled surface tilt 30 degree to north side to get more light from the south in to the courtyard and each units. For the facade, using the same Boolean operation to cutting out the hyperbolic surface to make the hyperbolic scallop facade. In the materiality, using translucence glass to apply to different scale of hyperbolic to sense more dynamic of hyperbolic space.

RED HOOK RISING ARCH:704 SPRING2013 INSTRUCTOR: MARION WEISS LOCATION: RED HOOK, BROOKLYN TEAM: KYLE Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CONNOR AND Hwea EUN KANG

Should Red Hook continue to grow, it knees to happen responsively. The impact of Hurricane Sandy is an object lesson for the consideration of new buildings, especially those on the vulnerable waterfronts. Red Hook rising takes a bold, stance, reaching up and out of harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. Perched above the water, a series of housing modules hang from massive A-frams structures. Residential units occupy the higher floors to avoid the risk of flooding, while the lower levels are programmed with more flexibility and responsiveness in the event of another disaster. The plaza, promenades, and pier offer a public platform, while the tidal zone accommodates interaction with the water while reminding occupants of their exposure to its dynamic, unpredictable flows. On this site, the buildings are exposed, while the critical surfaces within remain resistant.

We are not designing individual small boxes but a community. We want to create a space people share and live together on one body. We find coral as a perfect example of symbiosis. Different organization share space and helping each other. Different organization are shareing space and helping each other. Everyday example of symbiosis relationship found by sand and stone. That create path way and space. Everyday example of symbiosis relationship found by sand and stone.

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM ARCHIVES ARCH:602 SPRING 2012 INSTRUCTOR: BEN KRONE LOCATION: QUEENS, NY Project: ARCHIVE TEAM: ALEX ENEY, MARY CARROLL-COELHO AND HWEA EUN KANG Our project is rethinking a system of archiving through the lens of travertine formation and excavation. By understanding this natural systemsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organizing principles, we are approaching the project focusing on a striated view of information through time and the concept of extracting relationships/information. The building itself is archived. A registration of New York City & Queens, the building-site relationship is one of exposing specific moments, by extracting/revealing context. The user, be it an archivist or visitor, is the catalyst invoking meaning between the site, the information and the act of archiving.
