As the time goes on, the trend always changes. However, I believe that the essentials of the space never dies, as if it is calssic.

Therefore, after studying architecture since 2013 when i was a freshman, I always intensely focused on searching for essence of the space. The process of understanding the essential purpose of space and nurturing ideas what kind of space it should be in the future was tough. But the pleasure that I could feel when I find out some social problems and suggest solution by trying to solve it through my perspective was astonishing.In the end, I was able to think that the process is the same as the process of thinking about solutions from a keen perspective that reads and knows the flow fo society beyond architecture.

Due to the fact that the world I live in is never a monopoly of our generation, I always think that we should access the design with the idea which can make the environment to better society. And the answer to the approach will be always in essence of space. Consideration and discovery of the essential meaning of space is an opportunity to give joy and discover value.

It can be weak, but still I hope it will cahnge the world with positive vibe and influence. For a better tomorrow

How are we going to get ingredients supplied when the society locks down?

9-months after the outbreak of the Covid-19 earlier this year, our lives have changed in many ways. While the increasing interest in health has led to the growth of the number of people seeking nature, there has been decrease in logistics movement between countries(also between regions). In severe case, shutdowns have been declared, which made a culture of preferring non-face-to-face trading methods emerge.

As we went through theses situations, we are predicting that agriculture, which had been relegated to rural areas, will return to the urban and enable the community to become a "Self-Sufficient Society". And we suggest that return of agriculture to urban would be possible by starting to 'Change and Reuse' the abandoned buildings.

Starting from Yongsan, the center of logistics and transportation in Seoul, as well as South Korea, Urban Farm will be located throughout the community, which will serve as a GREENERY HUB for the community.

Originally, the building was used as Yongsan Railroad Hospital. And the building of the site consists of three main buildings(main building, old building, and new building). Each of the three buildings will be given the new characteristics. Production & Research(New), Processing & Sales(Old) and Consumption & Education(Main). Consumers will see and experience the whole process of production and processing of food they consume walking through the routes, including the newly penetrated bridge. Through this experience, customers will be able to directly manage what they consume.

Along with what happens inside the buildings, there are three introverted yard around the buildings(interior yard is typical architectural style of Korean society). Flea markets, smallscale performances, or community events will be planned in the courtyards.

Finally, we believe that this community will melt social relations which was frozen by covid-19 and foster self-reliance in the community. We also look forward to experiencing the vivacious community emerge as a hub of the society by the renovation of abandoned buildings which is located nearby your city.

What kind of life do you draw for the future?

How will the community get re-connected and revitalized?

"Half of the households in Korea live in apartments."

If you visit Korea, you could find out that the above sentence is not that surprising. In Korea, most people live and prefer to live in apartments, and in fact, the younger generation tends to prefer to stay in apartments. The most reasonable reason for this trend is the convenience and safety of apartment. Plus I think that most of young generations never experienced the quality of life in a single housing

Then why is there so many apartments in Korea? Perhaps it was natural for the Korea to choose apartments as a solution to meet the increased demand of housing that is infinitely scarce in the process of rebuilding the country after the Korean War and Japanese colonial era. The alternative to housing, an apartment which was inevitably chosen, has become a symbol of the current Republic of Korea, and has also played a role in making it possible for half of the population of South Korea to live.

Apartments in Korea became a machine for living in, as Le Corbusier said. They are massproduced regardless of quality of life and design have become high-end and premium brands in the 21st century, focusing on business feasibility. However, I believe that finding and solving problems from the perspective of students studying architectural desiWgn will be a good clue to changing the culture of future housing. Therefore, the project was carried out to solve the problem after selecting the type of housing suitable for the land among various apartment types.

Prof. Sang Dae Lee

In the history of housing in Korea, 'Apartments' are the most important type of residence. Apartments was the only breakthrough for the crowded population in large cities, including Seoul, the capital city of Korea. Thanks to apartments, Seoul's population density has grown to be the sixth largest city in the world and has become a densely populated city with about 10 million people, which means almost one-fifth of the overall Korean population lives in the capital city. Looking into the history of apartments in Korea, apartments have continued to evolve to meet the excessive demand for housing, and high-end apartments have been supplied to meet demand through endless transformation. The evolution started from five-floor co-housing to complex apartment and to tower-type apartments of these days.

1.

Building codes in Korea allows people to use balcony space as an interior space by subtracting it from the architectural area. Therefore, most people living in apartments have less opportunity to access the fresh air. By restoring the existing balcony space to solve of the existing balcony space.

2. Privacy in Balcony

There are three main categories of apartments. First of all, it refers to a Single loaded corridor-type apartment. This was the first apartment structure to be introduced in Korea. Each floor is made up of one long corridor, some of the windows of each generation are exposed to the hallway. Second, there is a Flat type apartment. Since 1990, recognizing the problems of a single loaded corridor type, this flat type apartment was developed. It is a method that eliminates the inconvenience by using one or two elevators for less than 1 to 5 households per floors. Furthermore, you can think of it as a way to spread because the unit price of elevators as well as maintenance cost has decreased due to advance of technology. Lastly, Tower-type apartment designed in a small area compared to others. The building efficiency is maximized in a narrow area, and the exterior is characterized by a tower.

Mass Design Process

When balconies are arranged in a row, inconvenience can arise due to privacy violations. It protects privacy by placing plants and plants at the same time as placing them in different places.

3. Privacy in Corridor

One of the biggest problems with single loaded corridor apartmets is "Safety", such as privacy violations. By creating 'Void spaces' in corridor, we could form a new layer and set back those unknown people from housing unit. As a result, the anxiety which comes from unknown people will be relieved.

DECA to PENTA

Office Project, Architecture Design Studio 5

Beyond the value of real estate, how can land and buildings create new values?

Is coexistence of modern human civilization and the ecosystem available?

How should the office be proposed in the future, considering the current office with a high vacancy rate?

What value and message should the project, which will be built on the only undeveloped site in Gangnam(Korea's most expensive housing and real estate value), should suggest? As I am student studying architecture, I thought it was unfair that all land in Seoul was eventually considered only as the value of real estate, not as the value of the land or building. For the criteria evaluating the last undeveloped land in Gangnam, I tried to look at it as a new standard other than its real estate value.

When planning the master plan, our team first looked at the history of the development of Gangnam. When the city, Seoul, began to expand, Gangnam was an untapped land with paddies and fields. As the land to be developed in Gangbuk(north of river) was scarce, the government carried out the development of Gangnam(south of river) on an urban planning level. Satellite image from just few decades ago shows that the ecosystem has been preserved and the nature has been intervened by an inconvenient being to the ecosystem in the name of development. Thererfore, our team planned to preserve and restore the local ecosystem. To explain, a master plan was planned after restoring the ecosystem first, so that humans could coexist just as a presence of passers-by.

When planning for the office, I focused on the future of the office. The typical appearance of the current office is boxed mass type with curtain wall attatched, regardless of the shape of the land, due to internationalism trends. We could think that this type of box, which doesn't have any correlation with the ground, is to use the most of space efficientyly. By creating maximum efficiency in the small land of Gangnam, most of the buildings considered only real estate values, as in previous master plan.

Therefore, I thought that, in the future, if there was a story subject with the land, the shape of the buildings would be able to create a more diverse visual skyline, not the same box oreinted world. Thus, the correlation of the master plan's land was divided into 10 faces(5-accessible, 5-not accessible) from the five-pronged passageway. From this division, I formed a decagonal shape plan and as going up changing to pentagon, the upper layer. W

RE:PLAY PAPER-CRETE

2016 UAUS(Union of Architecture University Students) Team Dongguk Univ.

<The meeting of discarded paper and concrete>

How can we upcycle paper instead of incinerating them?

To reuse paper that is used and discarded countless times in everyday life, we present a unique recycling paradigm of paper that is thrown away by mixing it with concrete, one of the main materials of construction. This paper creates new value through concrete. According to the research results, paper was used as an aggregate rather than the strength of ordinary concrete, and a bench was made for public use with it. During the exhibition period, it was intended to be completely upcycling by standing it as a pavilion and dismantling it after the exhibition.

The pavilion was built as a wall along a spiral facing each other, visualizing the concrete walls of countless buildings in Seoul. Furthermore, as we enter the interior along the path of the Pavilion, increasing paper concrete units are piled up in the building forest, blocking the surrounding natural environment, allowing us to experience the lost nature, and maximizing the sense of recognition of nature that had disappeared during the course of the Pavilion.

Chair Design Project, Furniture Design Class Prof. Sehwan Oh

<Breathe life into the abandoned Chair by Concrete>

In our daily lives, furnitures are essential. These furnitures are often thrown away rather than repaired even though it is partially broken or slightly out of balance. The furniture with very few defects was inspired by one of the properties of concrete. Concrete, one of the main materials used in architecture, brought a new life into the furniture.

Focusing on one of the properties of concrete, the reason why concrete is most commonly used as a modern building material may be due to its properties of 'Combining'. When mixed with water, air, and aggregates, the concrete, which used to be powdery, changes it's property, starting to harden in the form of the desired shape. Furthermore, various elements such as steel bars, pipes, and building equipments are combined together inside the concrete. By using the properties of the combination of concrete, reinforced concrete can create a variety of structures that can withstand heavy loads. I focused on the physical property of 'Combination' and made furniture.

A chair that has been used by someone for years and supported for life is thrown away due to some defects. Those still useful chairs were brought in, the parts with some defects or rotten parts were ground, newly varnished. Afterwards fixed in a mold, then castrated, and hardened with concrete.

The second act has just begun in the life of the chair.

YEON_Archi-culture

2017 UAUS(Union of Architecture University Students) Team Yonsei Univ.

How can architecture contain culture as a place?

This project is set in Han River Park, which is the most beloved park in Seoul facing the river. The Han River Park is an open space across the densely packed Seoul, giving opened view and impression to citizens by the sky and wind. So many people fly kites, which is called Yeon in Korean, here and enjoy their traditional culture.

So we reinterpreted the culture of flying kites architecturally. The facade of curved surfaces containing the shape and movement of the kite was overlapped in three layers. Through this, citizens visiting Han river park could experience the wind and sky vicariously which they could get by flying kites as a form of spatial experience. The shape blends in with the landscape of the sky and river under the Pavilion. Under the sun, kite modules in the pavilion provides slighly swaying shade and releases the wind. Pavilion is designed to function naturally as part of a 'place' called a park. Thus, the Pavilion that we wanted to create was a 'place of culture' and 'culture of places' containing the Han River.

Bboo Yeon(the Illusion)

2017 UIA SEOUL WORLD ARCHITECTS CONGRESS Team Yonsei Univ. × B2Shapes Architects

How do we recognize wall and how can we change the stereotype typical wall?

The project was the subsequently linked project of <Yeon>. We had to sort out some concepts and develop the pavilion because we had to exhibit indoor at COEX exhibition hall, while <Yeon> was exhibited at Banpo Han River Park. Through <Yeon> project we tried to give a light and free feeling from the 150 kites scattered by the wind in Han River Park. Reviving the emotion that Yeon gave, we tried to develop the project to fit the indoor exhibition.

We started with focusing on non-materiality. As long as the matter is on Earth, it has substance and is constrained by physical forces by shape or state. To get out of that restriction and to be free, we thought it had to be gone. With minimal absence, the clouded fabrics in the air overlap horizontally, blurring the shape behind them, leaving only silhouettes, and creating a panoramic view, which again vertically has nothing. The modules in turn react according to the viewer's position to create strange movements, and create non-material spaces with no fixed shapes and boundaries.

Possibility of Interactive Wall

Grasshopper Design Project, Architecture and New Media

Prof. Dae Song Lee

What would happen if this wall could move?

From this question mark, I started the project. Unlike the usage of bricks in the past, they are used as an external design material rather than as a structure. Plus they are used as dry construction method to build bricks faster. Through this changes, I found out the possibility, and I could also find out the lightly usage of brick in numerous recent buildings or Pavilion. Furthermore, from the perspective of architect and designer, it was thought that the desire to express space by minimizing openness, so that it could give a completely feeling of solidness and massiveness. On the other hand, it would be a natural consideration to create an opening in the space to induce lighting or to open the space. I thought that interactive wall would be a good way to solve these two designs' conflict.

As a result, I suggest the exhibition method which will be opened interactively to spectator by the rotating block unit wall. Furthermore, we propose a fundamental change in the way we view the exhibition. The traditional method of exhibition was displayed where people's movements go. The concept, on the other hand, sought to make new attempts and suggestions on the way of viewing the exhibition itself by planning and arranging the exhibits first, and then by walking around and looking for them. If the entire work is displayed in this way, it would be possible to manage the artpiece according to the designated environment, and to maintain it with relatively less exposure to direct sunlight.
