GRADUATE ARCHITECTURE GROUP PROJECT [2017]
Name — Junho choi, Luis, Henry Illinois Institute of Technology — M.Arch 2nd year academic Project Supervisor — Thomas Brock Function — Urban Market Period — 5 months - from Jan. 2017 to May. 2017
The Cloud Market & Public Library aims to create an hybrid building combining both the motion and color of a market and a place of gathering knowledge and focus of a library. The project is located on the South of the neighborhood and is a natural connector between 31st street and Gropious Plaza in the North. It also connects the Train stations with the commercial area on the west of the neighborhood. Since is the first building that visitors see from the south side of the neighborhood the project aims to achieve certain transparency and porosity so the market can become a portal from North to South and East to West.
Design Strategy and Plan
The Cloud Market at Bronzeville aims to become a portal between the four sides of the site. The building mimics the form of a porous sponge/cloud, an element of transparency where people can commute to every part of the neighborhood. The ETFE facade with the 3�x3� steel structural module allows a fluid circulation as the marketplace suggests and the landscape design is a continuity of the same exterior of Gropious Plaza and Main Street, giving the users the sensation of being under an open pavilion and natural forest. The library is located in the basement on the south side of the project.

Logan Square Plaza: Bordering Wards 32 and 35 Creating Viable Public Space: In our scenario, Diversey is reconfigured so that it creates a new t-shaped intersection north of the current location. This creates a clearer and safer traffic situation and allows for the creation of a legitimate bus turn-around on Kedzie rather than the current drive-through configuration. We have chosen to use this newly created space for a new public plaza across the street from our housing development and immediately outside the string of shops, bars and restaurants along Kedzie. The new plaza still connects the buses to the trains under a continuous shelter but the shelter now also buffers the plaza from the surrounding traffic on Kedzie. Since the plaza is no longer separated by Kedzie from the bars and restaurants there, we expect those activities to spill out in the form of sidewalk cafes and the like, thus further activating the plaza and making it an integral part of public life in Logan Square.

The world faced the complex patterns representing the natural environment were collapsed, climate is changing at a rate exceeding most scientific forecasts; arctic sea-ice is disappearing at a stunning rate, oceans warming, air pollution and climate change were caught in a self- boosting loop. Global warming was becoming irreversible and worse. Levels in Arctic and Antarctica raised to an unprecedented number in 4 million years.The problem with human-induced climate change is that it is occurring at a much faster than natural climate. Therefore, we grasped the urge to take action. Our vision for Urban bridge: regenerating ice sheet is to create independent urban habitats in Greenland that include technical functions to slow down ice melting.

Climate Information in Arctic Circle
On Earth, the only continent where the ice cap polar climate is predominant is Antarctica. The Arctic is a vast polar region comprising the northern most parts of Canada, Norway, Greenland (Denmark), Sweden, Finland, the United States (Alaska), Iceland and Russia. The northernmost part of the Eurasian land mass, from the extreme northeastern coast of Scandinavia and eastwards to the Bering Strait, large areas of northern Siberia and northern Iceland have tundra climate as well. Large areas in northern Canada and northern Alaska have tundra climate, changing to ice cap climate in the most northern parts of Canada. Sea level is rising, in part, because melting glaciers on land are adding more water to Earth’s oceans. Glaciers – large sheets of ice and snow – exist on land all year long. They are found in the mountains of every continent except Australia. Greenland and Antarctica contain giant ice sheets that are also considered glaciers. As temperatures rise, glaciers melt faster than they accumulate new snow. As these ice sheets and glaciers melt, the water eventually runs into the ocean, causing sea level to rise.

VERTICAL DOMINO FOREST CITY FARM BUILDING
CITY PARADIGM PROJECT[2014]
Name — Junho choi B.Arch Final academic Project Supervisor — Yoon Gyoo Jang Location — Gwanak-gu, Seoul, Korea Period — 6 months - from Feb. 2014 to Sep. 2014
Farm plate
Each floor is connected to facilities that contain many types of devices for making farms - water-way, storage, nutrients.
The place where people make farms can be determined by the needs from people for staying alive , especially foods.
Vertical and horizontal farms can produce food for people who live in the vertical farm building or live near the farm building.
A farm plate consisted of many modules provides a space where people can make farms.
Model size : 350 * 500 Material : puzzle, red thread, pin, and card board Ordinary paradigm between city and suburb
This project is proposed to transform the fundamental paradigm held by existing countries, cities, and surrounding environments. The primary production sectors provided by existing cities, roads, and farms are linked with simple linear elements, causing substantial costs and a number of inefficient aspects. To resolve this issue, I took a scenario approach for an architect to provide alternatives. With these three scenarios, I narrowed the scope of the project to create a building that acts as a link between urban and rural areas. Accordingly, I took into consideration elements such as farm building, connecting system, module, environment, and expanding effect and tried to compress them into a single architectural structure.

Unit Structure and Calculating Sun Analysis
When the arch is used as the basic structural shape, there is a natural open space in the center area. In order to utilize the space, a space was secured to encompass each unit and system of the surrounding elements to induce forming a single community.

A detail unit and main structure drawing
The calculation indicates that the ordinary urban farm building used to use the artificial sun light. however, compared to ordinary building, the proposal of the building use the sun light, to do that, it needs the open space without interrupting other mass. The arch structure makes building more use space effectively. When seeing the figuration (left side), the structure connected between the housings is the significant part in whole building. because it works as a green wall and structure.
DUCT + WALL BUILDING EXPERIMENTAL ARCHITECTURE PROJECT [2013]
Name — Junho choi Kookmin university of Seoul — B.Arch 3rd year academic Project Supervisor — Ki hyun Ahn Function — Museum or Hospital Period — 3 months - from Mar. 2013 to May. 2013
Conceptual art work / Diagram Model size : A3 size Material : wood plate, red thread, black pen Oiled paper and plastic figure. Duct-wall structure Model Model size : 500 * 800 * 270 mm Material : paper, acrylic, and white board
This is an important project that must precede the integration of fusion academics and architecture. A substantial amount of research was required on building systems. After conducting multiple surveys on the elements that constitute an architectural structure as well as on unnecessary functions, I decided to conduct the project by completing a building with only two elements. Because the project had to be completed with the two elements of the building, the premises were a structure that required strength and an element specialized for functionality. I chose the duct and the wall for the project. Taking into consideration that the two elements are associated with two different academic fields under architecture, a completely new outcome was elicited in choosing two elements that are experimental and non-converging in regards to proposing the first fusion building, allowing me to propose an architectural structure capable of performing innovative and special functions.

3D View - termite ventilation system Red mark : Inlet area Blue mark : Exaust area
ALTS based on the three rules. Each area depends on the scale of a space so the length of the duct-wall is determined by the size of the space.
Detail drawing and Model image
Shape of the space is circular because the ventilation system of the building connects the walls. Main duct passes through the middle of the building and all ducts connect to each other. But exhausted pipes only connect the wall toward outside. Each ventilation system in the space only works in the space.
An exaust pipe The ducts directly connect the space. contact surface is large and the quantity of ventilation is much larger than ordinary thing.
A big duct in the corridor People experience a unique space created by ducts and walls. These big ducts are connected to other space duct-wall and it works as a main structure as in a column.
An opening pipe on the surface An opening pipe connects to the inlet pipe and it absorbs the air in the space. Then the air ventilates through some facilities located between inlet and exhausted pipe.
Selecting efficient ALT The size of each duct is changeable because each room needs different ventilation system.
An inlet pipe The external surface of this pipe shares the same surface of the wall. Its absorption ability is much bigger than the existing one for the contacted surface is bigger.
Detail section drawing Red line : Flow line of the Air Grey mark : Space containing circulation system
Ending of the big duct. The size of the space at the beginning is bigger than the size of the space at the end. It uses a natural ventilation system. [ Pressure ]
Ducts make no hierarchical layer among slabs.
Expansion of a duct is determined by the space and ventilation of the building.
Space for passage Some space can connect to the empty space so ducts should be disconnected from some area but Inlet pipe upper the space should connect for efficiency of ventilation.
Collision point between the duct and wall should be changed by the difference of the influence between them. Three rules about making duct-wall structure
An exhaust pipe The air ventilated through the inlet pipe enters the space. The surface of the exhausted pipe is made of porosity and this porosity can provide fresher air to the space.
the space between Inlet pipe and Exausted pipe Each spaces forces to ventilate through the duct-wall. New system about ventilation make the space more feel fresh. The time of the ventilation is shorter than that of ordinary system.
An inlet pipe Each space forces to ventilate through the ductwall. A new ventilation system makes the space fresher. The duration for ventilation is shorter than that of an ordinary system. Blue mark - exhaust pipe line Orange mark - inlet pipe line Grey mark - plan section
SPIDER SILK BUILDING
BIOMIMETICS + ARCHITECTURE PROJECT [2013]
Name — Junho choi Kookmin university of Seoul — B.Arch 4th year academic Project Supervisor — Yoon gyoo Jang Location — Under the bridge Period — 3 months - from Sep. 2013 to Dec. 2013
Spider web image
Every shape is created by adapting to the environment and is a result of the law of survival of the fittest designed to maximize one’s functionality. Biomimicry is imitating one system and applying it to another. I intend to integrate biomimicry into architecture. I looked for a biomimicry material that can be best utilized in architecture and found the spider web system. I performed research on various experimental results to implement the spider web system as an architectural element. I decided to conduct this project to propose a novel method for replacing buildings primarily consisting of conventional RC structures.
