Accessibility to the Han River Park and the Sangam World Cup Park is currently only possible through a narrow pedestrian path under the bridge. By inserting an Aquatic Botanical Garden under the bridge that cuts off the river from the park, the dark space underneath the bridge will be transformed into a lively public space, providing educational and recreational activities, while simultaneously retaining its original function as a pedestrian thoroughfare.

The site, which is a wetland, located between the Han River and the park, should be understood as the interface between terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic systems making them inherently different yet inter-dependent on one another. There are various kinds of botanical species that thrive in wetlands which could potentially be introduced in the park.

Botanical gardens conventionally focus on exhibiting various kinds of plants regardless of their habitat types and characteristics, which has the tendency to create monotonous spaces. The aquatic plants, in this proposal, are meant to be exhibited based on their specific type of habitat to create diversity and enhance the educational and recreational experience of the user.

The composition of columns under the bridge defines the spatial organization of the Aquatic Botanical Garden. In particular, the exhibit space is meant to create natural boundaries determined by the gaps between the bridge itself and the columns below it.

Reminiscence Library Extension in the Constitutional Court of Korea Academic Work Sept. 2006 ~ Dec. 2006 Instructor Leemjong Jang Critic Hyungwoo Han, kerl yoo, Junbae Jo Sept. 2007 ~ Dec. 2007 Instructor Sangjun Lee Selected as a Studio Representative Work

The Bukchon district in Seoul, the heart of traditional Korean culture and the place where beauty gathers, has over time been destroyed. In Bukchon, there are many old traditional houses called Hanok, which are being bulldozed to be replaced by modern buildings decorated on top with traditional Korean architecture, such as roof. After the Constitutional Court of Korea in Bukchon announced the expansion plan for a new library, discord between the residents and the Constitutional Court of Korea became an issue. The Constitutional Court of Korea states that the library expansion is inevitable to secure the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s materials which are essential to the constitutional trial activity. On the other hand, the residents insist that retaining Bukchon should take priority for the preservation of traditional Korean culture.

Located between Gyeongbok Palace and Changdeok Palace, Bukchon is Seoulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and most prestigious residential district. Containing over 900 Hanok buildings that have been preserved and many cultural assets, Bukchon is the only surviving Hanok village in Seoul. The Constitutional Court of Korea is located between Jongno with modern high-rise buildings and Bukchon with traditional Korean architecture and appears to stand at a cross roads between the past and present. The Constitutional Court of Korea has the form and the spatial organization of Western architecture, oblivious to its relationship with Bukchon. The new library of the Constitutional Court of Korea should compensate for the western design of the courts by providing spaces that reflect the past and present of Korean culture simultaneously.

From the 1960’s to the 1970’s, the Kangnam district (southern part of Seoul) developed rapidly. As a result, many people moved from Kangbuk area (northern part of Seoul) to Kangnam. The schools of Kangbuk also moved to Kangnam leading to signifcant changes to the Bukchon landscape. Of particular relevance is the Changduk Girl’s high school which moved in 1989, and was replaced by the modern construction of the Constitutional Court of Korea.

The Constitutional Court of Korea which is supposed to offer the spaces to the residents in Bukchon doesn’t fulfill the role of ‘madang’ which means a courtyard or gathering space in traditional Korean architecture that is essential to all built structures. However, in the Constitutional Court of Korea, the concrete fence has instead been built around the building providing no public spaces. The new library should provide the residents the open space which currently does not exist in order to operate as ‘madang’ in Bukchon.

The constitutional court of Korea

The basic aim of the new library in the Constitutional Court of Korea is to connect the residents in Bukchon and the staff of the Constitutional Court of Korea by providing both programs and the spatial organization that stems from the reinterpretation of traditional Korean architecture. Therefore, in the new library, the residents and the staff are brought together in the space to create new forms of interaction.

Kyujanggak, the royal library of Joseon Dynasty

In designing the new library, required volumes are deconstructed and rearranged in a traditional way. In the traditional spatial organization of Korean architecture, the rooms are located around the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;madang,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the courtyard, and they make a building. Buildings are also gathered around the large open space and they form a group of buildings. This arrangement should be understood as the result of the interactions between interior and exterior spaces. Here the massive and enclosed form of the Constitutional Court of Korea is abolished; the parts were decomposed and the spatial organization changed.

The new library in the Constitutional Court of Korea has the spatial organization of the tradition architecture of Korea. In the new library, the rooms are located around the courtyard and the buildings are linked to make one total space. The partial wall of the existing building is also opened up to obtain interaction between the existing building and the new library.

The new library creates the balance between the privacy of the Constitutional Court of Korea and its public relationship with the residents in Bukchon. The new library proposes 3 spaces: 1) library-the professional library for the staffs; 2) lecture hall-the space where connections between the residents and the staffs take place; 3) ‘madang’ (courtyard)-the open library for the residents. These 3 spaces have the spatial organization of the contemporary version of traditional Korean architecture. They are connected with the existing building of the Constitutional Court of Korea. Therefore the new library will allow the existing building to extend and be opened to the outside.

The site is located in the center of the Cheongdam-dong which is a famous residential area because of the high real estate prices causing a high and diverse density of land usage. Because of the significant numbers of cars in the area, Cheongdamdong is practically a large parking lot. The relationship between automobiles and people is inseparable in urban life.

The Second Sea Wall Eco-Center in Shihwa-ho Academic Work Mar. 2005 ~ Sept. 2005 Instructor Hyungwoo Han Critic Leemjong Jang, Hyunsik Min, Chunkyu Sin, Jongkyu Kim Selected as a Studio Representative Work, KIA Convention and Exhibition Entry

The Shiwha Tide Embankment is a huge artificial axis cutting through the West Sea of Korea. When it was constructed, it was considered the most radical structure showing the development of contemporary Korea. As time went by, this artificial structure caused a lot of serious environmental problems. It led many people to think about the value of nature and brought up new social issues in Korea. The Korean government then decided to make the sea water flow into an artificial lake, Shiwha Lake which was completely surrounded by the Shiwha Tide Embankment. However, due to this decision the natural environment of the lake, where the fresh water ecosystem had been introduced by the Shiwha Tide Embankment was threatened. Fortunately, the fresh water ecosystem and the marine organisms are now balanced and coexist in the artificial lake. The Shiwha Tide Embankment is not just an artificial structure destroying nature but it also presents a new contemporary perspective towards nature which we have to confront in our own time.

The Changes of the COD Level of Shiwha (ppm)

Since its beginning, the construction plan of the Shiwha Tide Embankment has changed a lot. The Shiwha Tide Embankment is part of the Saemanguem project. In 1991, to make new land for the

development of Korean industry, the government decided to enclose the part of the West Sea. Until 1997, the environmental pollution in Shiwha Lake had been getting worse and caused a lot

of serious environmental problems. The Korean government had to acknowledge these problems and in 1997, proposed to make the sea water flow into Shiwha Lake again. The controversies

concerning Shiwha Lake are still under debate today. 0 (yr)

The void connects the spaces in the building. Visitors move through the void space. The pattern of the ground level outside of the building indicates the direction to the building and also reflects the flow of the light in the building. The vertical flow of the void shows movement and the spatial continuity in the building. The spaces in the building are also connected through this void. It further connects the eco-center, the public space, and the water space. As one enters and passes through spaces within the building, one can experience the spatial flow. Looking at and experiencing Shiwha Lake through the void become the Third Sea Wall.

The exhibition space in the building is flexible. Glass walls are movable according to different needs and they make different configurations in the exhibition space. Moreover, they show the images of the West Sea and Shiwha Lake. Because each glass wall’s transparency can be changed, it provides many spatial possibilities in the exhibition space.

Light is introduced in order to obtain a link between interior and exterior. Light flows through slits in the eco-center and through columns of light and then merge with outside light of the Shiwha Tide Embankment. The eco-center, the void, the water space, and the tide embankment have a spatial continuum that changes according to time.

Green Monster in the city Park Design in Buick City - Slabula Rasa Academic Work Sept. 2009 ~ Dec. 2009 Instructor Steven Mankouche Critic Mason White, Perry Kulper, Sophia Psarra, Joan Nassauer Selected as a Studio Representative Work

While perimeter landscapes are recognized as a global phenomenon, in Michigan they can be described as an autochthonous condition. Looking at our industrial heritage we can trace their evolution from regional manufacturing practices. Early on the lumber industry created large open areas of flat land. When it evolved into the carriage industry and later on automobile production we invented a fast way to navigate and colonize the perimeter. Tectonically speaking what made this transformation possible was the development of the concrete slab, a level work datum upon which to construct and navigate the perimeter. As manufacturing is evacuating the region what it left behind is the datum. Encapsulating a century of toxic waste, today the concrete slab memorizes our bankrupt age of mass consumption and its glossy exuberance of boomtown greed. However the paradigm has changed and envisioning another wave of speculative development no longer makes sense. Yet fundamental problems remain. Our cities our economy and neighborhoods as we;; as our environment have been devastated. Much work remains to be done.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Buick Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Detroit, one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest brown-fields in Michigan, was in operation from 1904 until 1999 as a massive automobile manufacturing complex. The facility was demolished in 2002 and the site was abandoned without treatment. The problem is that groundwater and the soil of the site are contaminated. Covered by concrete slabs, it is not causing an immediate threat to anybody. But, considering the fact that the underground facilities are connected to each other at the city scale, the problem is more serious than was expected. This project proposes a park design by using container cars, the railroad, and the existing underground water system that were abandoned at the site. Container cars can act as planters or can be used for planting the existing plants on the site; container cars are transformed to 4 different planters based on the types of plants. Some container cars can then be shipped by rail to other regions in the U.S, carrying plants and soil. The project anticipates that it will have an affect not only on the site, but also on the U.S.

Throughout the modernist era the term flexibility has served two contradictory roles. On one hand it becomes associated with dynamism, functionalism and universality (Gropius, Rietveld, Mies van der Rohe), on the other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a critique of functionalism and universality (van Eyck, Hertzberger, Lefebvre). Rather than choose sides, the proposal in Chicago will embrace the polemic, establishing a contemporary imperative to re-imagine flexibility as an architectural mechanism for the production of new conditions of changeability and flux.

Nature 自然 : 自 itself 然 it is The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone in Korea) Scenario Thesis Jan. 2011 ~ in progress Advisor Jason Young, Perry Kulper, Thom Moran

Opposed to the conventional understanding of the relationship of human beings and ‘nature’ as thesis and antithesis, a new project based on ‘自然:自 itself 然 it is’ as a synthesis of human and ‘nature’ aided by digital media has been proposed to make the DMZ a bridge space between the two Koreas. The DMZ is no longer an area that should be left untouched. However, it is different from the notion of ‘tabula rasa.’ The thesis project will propose three steps for the DMZ based on ‘自然:自 itself 然 it is’: 1) by using the bunkers and wall constructions, building laboratory facilities to research the region; 2) constructing infrastructure; 3) designing the DMZ as a bridge space between North and South Korea. However, it doesn’t mean these phases are indicating an increasing ‘urbanization’ of the DMZ, rather, it will suggest ‘naturalization’ of the DMZ. Here, ‘naturalization’ means a development approach based on ‘自然:自 itself 然 it is.’ Also, there is no end point for each phase. As time goes by, the three steps will overlap and proceed in the DMZ based on ‘自然:自 itself 然 it is.’

自然:自 itself 然 it is

Based on the notion of ‘自然:自 itself 然 it is,’ bunkers, tanks, and other remnants of the war are considered as parts of ‘nature’ and they are used for constructing the laboratory facilities in the DMZ. Not only their physical remnants, but also their systems are used in that process. By operating the machines with digital technology, people such as researchers, scientists, and designers don’t have to take potentially fatal risks when they are exploring the unknown areas in the DMZ. The information will be gathered, stored, and shared through the digital space. For some areas which were completely destroyed because of the military activities in the DMZ during and after the war, the machines will also be used for reforestation. At the same time, people start to build the laboratory facilities using the old bunkers. Using the notion of ‘自然:自 itself 然 it is,’ the DMZ is conserved and developed.

Since this system is constructed based on the U/V system on the surface, one can easily manipulate outputs by selecting options for each step in the grasshopper. Variable results are generated by selecting the input in the system. The results are a pavilion with surface, a pavilion with volume, or a pavilion which is generated from one surface (or two surfaces).

金剛全圖 Geumgangjeondo A Complete Drawing of Mt. Geumgang Architectural Art Work Academic Work Sept. 2004 Instructor Woong Yang

Geumgangjeondo is a work by Gyeomjae Jeong Seon (1676 - 1759), the great master painter of landscape. Twelve thousand peaks of the mountain are depicted on a canvas. Starting from the highest peak, Birobong in the back, it flows down the cascading waterfalls along the valley called Manpokdong. Depicted by up and down lines, the numerous rugged peaks on the right look lstrong and sharply piercing. The many mountains on the left with green trees, painted using dotting brushwork seem comparatively soft and rich. Landscape paintings in those days imitated paintings depicting Chinese landscapes; however, Jeong Seon discarded the Chinese styles and created his unique styles based on the Korean scenes. Among the many paintings of Mt. Geumgangsan, this one is the most highly valued as being the largest and the best masterpiece.
