“I prefer to explore the most intimate moments, the smaller, crystallized details we all hinge our lives on” - Rita Dove
Acknowledging common interest and an effort of searching connection through an extensive masterplan are not an easy task to accomplish. Transition from conventional practice to a modern Roads are still king of movement, but other forms of movement should not be left over. Exisiting infrastructure and historical background is an essential tool to guide further development, but restraint of imagination and unsolved NIMBY effect from a dominated framework could lead to a subaqueous trap. A given fabric are rules and profounded analysis will start to translate city through mechanism of economical, environmental, and political growth. Beginning with what the communities need and orienting toward actual accomodation, the improvement of our society will evolve into a promising utopian community. A truely futuristic city is not conducted through fixed algorithm; it’s one that continuously hinges existing and discovered information.

HOW THINGS ARE PUT TOGETHER
Major cities nowadays have a well organized and stabled infrastructure surrounded by miscellaneous communities. Yet, there are still ongoing issues that don’t adequately reflect the communities anymore. What significant notion should be introduced to the cities in order to systemize infrastructure? Growing hinge is a way of rethinking city that collects common interest from the communities and solve problem to prosper where the expansion does not stop but act as a continuing futuristic development. We can begin this by questioning what the common interest is. Shared interest can start to cluster by creating space or program and we can achieve a growth of hinge by highlighting a threshold advantages achieved by the communities. Yet there is a possibility that the improvement of a city could no longer have a potential of prosperity, have issues such as eminent domain or exposure to
insecure situation. In order to establish a sustainable city that resolves these concerns, there should be an endless exploration of revealing communities’ desire and converge those ambitions through assemblage of hinges that compensate the city. Then how can a growing hinge benefit the communities? Since hinge can be a site, program, transportation, or any concept, growing hinge is defined as a development that is an advantageous component for the whole. Whether of its size, as long as the hinges are not directly centralized and more adjusted toward collaborator, the communities can start to be fabricated that becomes part of you. Moreover, compiling these hinges establish a sustainable city evolving towards the future through both centrifugal and centripetal forces existing in a growing hinge that mediate an infrastructure of a city to deal with quality improvement of a community.
THE MAKING OF DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Future of Architecture Changing a concentrated centripetal force into a mediation of both centripetal and centrifugal forces. Architecture oscillates between two forces, centrifugally, seeking space. But it is also centripetal, drawn to a place to come home to, just like birds searching for food need to keep their nest in minds when loving beyond their own territory. There can be no adventure without a home base to return to. You have to travel in search of space, to confirm the place you call your own, you must return home to recharge for a new journey.

As Fort Point tries to reconnect with downtown Boston and the surroundings, the site does have a potential of revitalizing Fort Point’s urbanistic frame. Yet, empty spaces in Fort Point mirrors Boston’s historic weakness of land reclamation that occurred in the past. Waterfront has such tremendous capability of improvement in which this project will explore Fort Point’s strength. A collective data of transportation and walking environment begins to create a urban flow of Boston city. Since the site is located on the waterfront, program or structure being built on this site will have to communicate thoroughly with the water and buildings across the water. Not only the site should communicate, but also should have a capability of creating new type of access and collective space for both public and private usage. Different type of scales should be analyzed in order to investigate what benefit and incapacity Boston maintains in order to earnestly achieve into a sustainable site and encourage Fort Point to be developed for its future. Fort point vacant space (parking) Vacant space beyond Fortpoint
Analysis of vacant space centered in Fort Point, more developed areas have fewer parking space and less developed regions have a vast parking area. The northern area of Fort Point is considerably clustered with buildings compared to the southern area, which is mostly occupied with parking spaces. With a site densely occupied
by parking lot, it is probable of becoming a hub for downtown Boston and Fort Point. With an existing transportation around the site and bike/ pedestrian movement along the river will become a frame of mapping the site; engagement of people to the site and Fort Point is needed.

Embedding a program of theater on the site can be beneficial for citizens living close to the site and tourist visiting Boston. There aren’t many residential area and a typical program, theater, around the site because of Fort Point’s ongoing redevelopment phase. Empty spaces can be developed into retails, offices, or residence with a help of waterfront condition. A potential of Fort Point will be the key of Boston’s future prosperity.

With an initial separation from public area, mostly located on the lower floor, private residential space on the upper level also includes a semi-public hall that gives an openness to residents. Mixture of usage throughout the building gives a well-circulated flow to the building with multi-programs embedded to the whole masterplan. An attraction to Fort Point with a help of riverfront advantage, not only the site but also the surrounding environment will gain synergy from visits.

"The politics of the Envelope, A political Critique of Materialism’ by Alejandro Zaera Polo gives examples of building structure, and X=Z>Y, building of flat-vertical envelopes is one of the four categories. X=Z>Y is also known as ‘tight fit’ or slab, that land-uses and orientation are important in this kind of masterplan. This type of building usually deploy a border between communal open space and public open space. The border forms a threshold between private and public space that, mentioned in the reading, establishes the faciality of the building. The building shown in the masterplan has a sloped ground floor with high ceiling that detach the inside and outside.

GRID IGNORANCE VS GRID Early Manhattan Planners didn’t know where the city of Manhattan was heading towards to. This introduces to the design and imagine that we don’t know the future. What if grids of cities were circles instead of rectangular fabric? A whole new conception can could have changed the world of architecture and planning. We are already in a state of grid existence. Consistency with the grid existence can bolster the development, but is this the only way of development? What kind of influence can occur when the grid is altered?

The site is located near the entrance of the Mayan ruins entrance. In order to enliven Tikal, Guatemala, several questions are raised in this project. How can the site become a hinge between the ruins and users? What is the best sustainable solution to preserve the surrounding environment? What kinds of program should the buliding have to attract tourists to Tikal? Can this forest sustain well with the building? The Mayan color analysis prior to this next project will become the fundamental key for organization and connection of the buliding. Centralizing entry, path, landscape and ruins around the site, the museum has a potential of containing all these components. Interior and exterior of the building follows the tectonic of a grid according to the whole site threedimensionally, where there is a hierarchy on lines of the grid by varying width of the paths. As the lines divide spaces, visitors can start to understand the language between the museum and the whole site by discovering spaces and understanding integrated Mayan custom.

Astronomy workshops are located in 4F and one of the workshops has a view looking south and east as shown in the rendering. People will have opportunity to explore and learn Mayan astronomy.
The exhibition space is located in the ground floor and is designed with diverse walls that follows the grid. Interesting part of this space is that displayed pieces are shown diversely in line with an exhibition path.
These two drawings illustrates a pedestrian path that is created according to a grid that is created. The left image is a view standing next to an existing ruin, and the right image is a perspective of a path towards the building entrance.
This is an image of a tunnel that reaches directly to a parking lot in B2 of the museum. The buliding can be accessed not only by walk, but also equally by automobile and has a chance to explore Mayan ruins by circuiting a contiunous drive-thru path.
A discussion space, or small business workshop space, is placed in 2F. The area is mostly covered with glass that gives opportunity to observe not only outside the room, but also 3F towards a void space.
This floor is between ground floor and 2F accessible by using one of the stairs. There are total two locations that have this break-up environment which naturally makes people to access more spaces in the building and connect to outside.
MAYA MUSEUM
Auditorium, located in B1, merges well with the facade and interior light, also according to an organized grid. Since the space is headed towards east, sunlight pierces into the auditorium.
3F is a unique floor because of its texture and landscape design. The whole floor is designed with various heights of cubicals that lets visitors to have any multi-purpose events.
Both 3rd and 4th floor have different characteristics of programs. But merging floors together by having double height creates a diverse range of program order.
Cafe / Restaurant of the museum has a specific feature. Tables in the cafe are created in a perpendicular order that metaphor a Mayan ruin. Tables and chairs are placed in a considerable intervals.
The entrance is mostly constructed with glass wall. Right above, thin film photovoltaics are installed which can be seen very easily. The arrangement of the panels directly gives a sense of how the interior and exterior of the buidling is organized.
A section cut shows a diverse space usage in the building. Escalator is one of the main cores that links from one story to another.

Rhode Island Game Center is located at the boundary between Jewelry District and downtown Providence, apparently stationed at the Jewelry District. The district was famous for a large number of jewelry manufacturing companies beginning in the 19th century. In the 1960s, construction of the old 195 Interstate highway reluctantly detached the Jewelry district from downtown. Due to the interruption, Jewelry district nowadays lost vigor compared to the 19th century. However, a major Providence construction project by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, Iway, relocated the highway to the south of Jewelry district which is now reconnected to the downtown. The Rhode Island Game Center is positioned right on top of the old highway field which is

currently welcomed for new buildings that will hinge Jewelry district and downtown Providence and enliven the city. According to types of amenities in Providence downtown, entertainment facilities are needed due to a lack of enjoyment for Providence citizens. This game center will share happiness and enhance their quality of life. It also has an opportunity to attract residents from downtown and stimulate the dead district. On a recent article, there was a proposal of constructing a baseball stadiums which will make people visit downtown and use money. Yet, the stadium won’t pay taxes that turned down. On the other hand, office buildings or normal commercial retails will have to pay taxes which is more a lively usage instead of one major program dominating a massive site.

Downtown Providence and the East Side, September 2010. The rerouted 195 runs over the newly completed bridge at bottom, further away from the downtown core. The previous routing can still be seen running north and closer into the city. The missing section of the old 195, seen just right of the Providence River, marks the beginning of the previous highway’s demolition.

Jurg Conzett’s hidden structure concept
INTEGRATED STRUCTURE DESIGN
The Ottoplatz residential & commercial building by Jurg Conzett has an interesting structural system where the diagram columns passes through the walls with gapped windows in between. The columns are not exposed which gives the building a cohesive facade design. Acquiring the design, the steel structure of the RIGC is composed by following the
diagonal lines (image above) that are created as the red guidelines. There are couple moments that beams and glasses both need to be used in order to follow the pattern in which dotted walls are used to preserve both solidity and transparency of those places. Dotted walls give the building a creative way to design a facade and preserve a continuity of the structural element and the aesthetic view. ADVANCED STUDIO

In this project, Wellness: Healthy Strategies and Green Connection, to achieve complete wellness through masterplanning in an urban design scale, there are several key strategies that drives all over the site. The first task is to create a self-sustaining masterplan that supplements the existing amenities in Olneville achieved through a complete wellness system that drives use and adjacency. Creating iconic visual street frontage and futuristic design at an undesirable street edge by Harris Avenue which adds value and
development to the property. The masterplan as a whole will blur barriers between private and public space through layers of access which connects all buildings on site. Not just a usable space, but designing multi-use spaces that are usable for all seasons to maintain street life throughout the year will enliven the surrounding and moreover the town. Lastly, adjacent waterway, Woonasquatucket River will act as a wellness asset by creating a natural transition of spaces from river to work and living spaces.

PROGRAM MATRIX Olneyville is a low-income town that lack several essential needs for the people living in Olneyville. Even though the size itself covers extensive area, insufficient redevelopment and neglected poverty excluded the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potentiality. In order to promote Olneyville, the site, the Old General Electrics Base Works Site, will include a continuing connection from residential to commercial with integrated public green space. The masterplan will be able to sustain itself, and people of Olneyville and supplies will aid the town as a whole. With the possibilities of investigated programs, amenities listed on the left are what the site can include, and specific programs such as lifestyle clinic, public market, retail, restaurant, and public space are mostly needed to reinforce what Olneyville lacks.

CHARACTERISTICS VOLUMETRIC STRATEGY Office Bike / Pedestrian Path Retail / Restaurant Early Education Urban Farm Housing Intersecting Points to Upper Level
Public plaza is precisely placed in order to have a view to the green space across the street and create an upper public space for a unique architectural experience.
Products from the urban farming is used for both personal and commercial usages. Retails and restaurants can use the farm’s product linking as a local green movement.
Stacked parking for visitors and employees mostly in purpose of office, urban farming, retails, and restaurants Retails and restaurants are located on the ground and second floor where these amenities can take advantage of easy accessibility to public area. Offices area located at north of the masterplan. Ground floor is yielded to retail and restaurant for visitors’ better approach to the site.
60
Early education is merged in between public space and urban farming to become more adjacent to public accessibility as possible.
Residential building is cose but separated from the commercial zone for residents’ private ownership with direct access to both the river and street. The long elevated path is a key on this site. The path is for both pedestrian and bike users who will be able to experience different height, program, and open space from various points as a person moves from one to the other point.

FACADE DESIGN
SEASONAL ADAPTABILITY
WEEKEND MARKET Among the buildings on this site, the MultiComplex building will be concentrated since the building needs a deeper investigation to show key facts on the diagram. After connecting the bike path that is extended from the outer bike path of this masterplan, the path is elevated from the ground and carves through the office building, structured parking building, multi-complex and housing, and again comes down after the housings. The reason why this bike/pedestrian path is a main attraction to this site is that the users will be able to experience urban environment, half-nature & half-urban environment, and nature environment. Under the bike path bridge, seasonal adaptability images show the potential of maximizing usage of the site such as weekend market and winter enjoyment for early education system. Also, most ground floor
WINTER ENTERTAINMENT of the buildings are retail and restaurant where the Atwell avenue’s retail environment is continued, and thought about the potential and future of the Harris avenue, and enlivening street life in between the offices and the complex. Products from the urban farming is used for both personal and commercial usage such as regional weekend market. Retails and restaurants can use the farm’s product linking as a local green movement. Not only using line projection for a building scale, façade design has been also designed after bringing the window of Olneyille’s old mill building. The grid is divided into qualified sizes with partially opening for energy saving. Space division of proportion and balance does not lose its refinement as a design in which this type of façade portion has been implemented throughout the masterplan.

A deep investigation of daylight, thermal condition, and air ventilation has gone through architects precisely to effectively react to the weather of Providence. A result of analyzing the worst GEOTHERMAL HEATINGup / COOLING condition brought to several decisions. SYSTEM
Geothermal Heat Pump Water Heater
Mechanical room, rather than on the ground floor, is strategically placed on the highest floor due to a site condition located on the riverside. The ventilation system occurs not only on the elevator core but also on two surfaces of the building through a decentralized ventilation system with built-in regenerative heat recovery core, LUNOS e². These fans installed in both exterior walls will provide continuous ventilation without any needs of ductwork. It creates a heat recovery that becomes the lung of this building.

Group Project collaboration with Laura Shea (Graphics and drawings solely illustrated by Jun Ahn) (Images on this spreadsheet are from Google images)
FRAGMENTED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION I
In any city working to become more sustainable, public transportation is a key factor in using movement and land effectively. Providence, as it undertakes new sustainability goals, must likewise consider the role of transportation in its strategies.
Currently, Providence faces fragmented public transportation options. Bus services are heavily concentrated in downtown areas and are not accessible to the growing populations of residents who could best utilize them. Cars remain the main mode of transportation while there is limited Dominated Cars, Unpleasant use of bikes, buses, and other means of movement. The local bus system, Experience, Downtown-centric bus, though expanding, does not fulfill its potential for connecting transportation Increasing Residential Population to greater sustainability initiatives. However, Providence has a vested interest in changing this. The largest provider of public transit, the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA), is initiating projects to expand th presence of its bus services in the city. Between RIPTA, the city, and residents, there is a large interest in developing transportation options that are sustainable, pleasant, and efficient. From a urban planning perspective, enlivening Providence’s bus system with closer connections to the city and residents will have positive impacts on the environment, economy, and social equity.
II
Lack of Personal Vehicles, Existing Infrastructure, Abundant Short Commutes, Community Assets
III
In particular, this can be achieved by expanding the existing bus infrastructure to become more relevant and accessible. Ideally, public transit will become the easiest option, taking advantage of Providence’s existing infrastructures and communities. A new transit center in the Garrahy Judicial District, improved route distributions, increased bus priorities, and redesigne rider interactions will establish the bus as a more streamlined and valuable part of Providence’s sustainability goals.

TRANSPORTATION ALTERED OPTIONS Current Transportation Map
- Fragmented and complicated - Centralized to Downtown - Non-reflective to growing population - Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fulfill greater sustainability
Option 1 Initial proposals from Providence department of transportation
- New bus transit on Providence Station - Great target for train users - Difficulty of serving southern part of downtown - Undermining redevelopment of Jewelry District
Option 2
- New bus transit on both Providence Station and Garrahy Courthouse - Dispersing routes and users efficiently through the whole city - Possibility of diverse transport system - Greater advertisement of bringing users to sustainability
Option 3
- New bus transit on Garrahy Courthouse - Population grew 70% around the courthouse (2000 - 2010) - Difficulty of serving train users - Unbalance of city transportation flow

Option 3
MASERPLAN (GARRAHY TRANSIT CENTER) Dept. of Transportation already proposed a Providence Station Masterplan prior to this project, but Garrahy Transit Center is still under consideration.
Garrahy Courthouse Bike Rental Station Bus Ticket Booth / Bike Rental Registration Center Bus Stop (embedded digital screen) Bus Only Lane Public Space Roads with new bike path
BIKE = PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Redesigning the rider experience will provide incentives for people to use the bus and other public transportation options. Though new routes and bus priorities do impact rider experiences, the greatest room for improvement is within the new Garrahy transit center. Specifically, the transit center should include a bike rental facility and spaces for local community organizations. Like the bus system itself, a public-private partnership for bike rentals will result in the best chance for financial success and stability. The inclusion of bikes in public transportation provides another option for commuters who travel short distances but who prefer the convenience of traveling on their own time rather than waiting for a bus. The most immediate action, before any of these changes are implemented, is to establish the community’s involvement in any public transportation plans. From Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation, this means reaching out to residents through a variety of means and increasing the different ways through which citizens can communicate their needs and ideas. Next, the city of Providence and RIPTA can reach out to local businesses and organizations to create joint projects such as the monthly Providence pass and displays and advertisements at bus terminals. Finally, Providence and RIPTA can investigate how to redistribute bus routes as to best reflect the spatial and commercial needs of the city. Changing the bus routes, and constructing a new transit center, will form the basis of the changes in physical infrastructure in Providence’s public transportation.
Sustainable bike rental facility and spaces for local community organizations
The overall vision should be to enliven transportation with meaningful connections to the city, to residents, and to other sustainability projects. Doing so will yield positive changes for Providence in all three aspects of the sustainability framework, and will pave the way for future actions. PLANNING SUSTAINABLE CITIES

Designing a Korean consulate in Seattle was very exciting since both interesting facts needed to be comsidered carefully: traditional Korean style and modern architecture in the United States. Both styles are extremely different that I had to work over the concept and facade of the building circumspectly. Different types of facades were designed and the one shown on this page became the final selection. A short one month internship was a unique experience for me to understand importance of role that every person receives in a firm. Due to changes of the facade, I had to also change walls and windows according to the designed facade.

Baum architect is a firm that has a passion for excellence. I had a great opportunity to join a team ‘Lotte Tower’ during my internship. Baum architect is an associate firm of Kohn Pederson Fox’s Lotte Tower project. I learned essential informations about high-rise building and its unique architectural characteristics that is far superior from common buliding projects. I used Autocad and Rhinoceros tool with Grasshopper and V-ray for examining and analyzing skyscraper. I also visited the tower site in progress and practiced the use of material and structure such as mega columns. There were also collaboration with other team’s project, hwasung dongtan school by analyzing and modeling masterplans, and modifying landscapes. My main role in the tower team was constructing 3D models and checking safety and stability through digital programs from 96F to 123f (top).

LOTTE TOWER
My first assigned work was to understand a basic structure and flow of the tower. I started with digital tools by creating core walls, steel-frame beams and slabs to understand easily. Since every floors have different sizes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that connection between megacolumn, slab and beam is essential in high-rise buildings.
One of my duties was to check if there were any hazard moments or inappropriate beams in the project. My principal sincerely requested to me that nothing is more important than safety, which I had a lot of pressure during couple weeks of inspection. Fortunately, I have discovered couple crucial points, using different size of beam that could have made the upper slab very unstable.
Grasshopper program were used primarily to construct various sizes of column, slab and beam.

NEW YORK TOWNHOUSE AND RESIDENCE (LONG ISLAND PAULS LANE)
Existing MacDonough Townhouse Plan
Altered MacDonough Townhouse Plan
An architectural internship in Long Island City was a new experience for me.
