Sentimental landscape Architecture roots itself from nature and is in constant interaction with it, diverging into different architecture styles according to how it's influenced by it's surrounding natural conditions. For the last 5 years, I have learned how to harmonize with nature at my university in Korea, seeping in the cultural heritage that still remains from our ancestors.

As they did, I learned how to melt into the surrounding environment and the way to introduce natural scenery in our life. However, as environmental issues have worsened, a new approach is needed in order to properly respond to our current situation, an approach that goes beyond the requests of our previous method and that has arisen in me a thirst for knowledge regarding the aspect of Korean architectural technology.

In order to search for new approaches, I have traveled the world experiencing different ways of life interaction. Whenever I saw, felt and thought more, my thirst about these issues increased and got deeper. This led me to meet TU Delft. I was lucky. The lectures of the new professor, a graduate at TU Delft, were based on innovative and sustainable technologies and resonated with my goal: harmonizing Korea's vernacular sentiment with our modern environment. Because of this, I decided to apply TU Delft.

Historical research facility

The space boundaries of the different ground level volumes are put in relation at the underground level, and organized according to the axis of city wall and roads, generating diverse heights and shapes in a natural way. Moreover, it contains congenial spaces which utilize traditional space.

Korean government has various district plans aiming to make Seongbuk-gu a world leading historical and cultural area connected to Seoul city wall. These plans have six main themes which are described right part. These plans are focused on building a strong network within the city and this site, located in the center of the network..

Current site has diverse inclinations toward the Seoul city wall from the road. So I suggest to provide a natural access to Seoul city wall.

Users can access any of the ground level building directions with the basement connection system. In this way, we can overcome the demerits of separated spaces.

The axis of the building is arranged with the axis of city wall and front road, making the city wall expand toward the road.

6

By implanting masses under the ground, we can generate free access to the building from the diverse levels of roads.

There are total 6 horizons which are piled on each other making dynamic space. Those piling horizons emphasize building’s horizontality.

Re-born institute has seven different entrances because of site’s rapid change of inclination. Each of entrances has their own purpose interacting with not only indoor or outdoor programs but also surrounding environment. These entrances reflect diverse building users who have different intentions of their visit.

Ro-born institute is assimilated with Seoul city wall. I tried to input a lot of congenial spaces mixed with Korean style such as Madang (Front yard), stone wall divided space, column spacing and eaves. All of these spaces are naturally accessible from the various ground level offering users to different space feelings. By using same materials with Seoul city wall to the building materials, space users will recognize whole space as a part of Seoul city wall.

Cultural complex park

Myeong-dong is divided by a lot of streets which have diverse widthes and population density. Each of these streets have their own roles within Myeong-dong’s commercial system. This project reflects this aspect of site and I designed specialized street view providing resting place for pedestrians.

Six nodes design

Wes faรงade for vehicles

Six nodes cultural boundary park has six points of different façade view as you can assume from it’s name. Those facades are designed depending on the nearby environment such as Myeong-dong’s street networking system and present land-use conditions. As a result, It can be functioned as a Myeong-dong’s lung making Myeongdong more active and fresh space.

Dimension is rooted from a table. Wing type table with 1.5m each side is the most efficient shape for workers. Three table can be joined together making a group. Which is statistically best number for cooperation.

A Basic group is forming 5 types of space module according to office programs These 5 types modules are combined together reflecting a lot of architectural conditions. Hexagon is also used as a basic module in the skin interacting to each other. Floor plan’s module system is covering the ground divided in to three layers.

Each layers reflect surrounding environment.

Honeycomb tower’s floor system is composed of five different modular types. Each types are combined vertically and offering the office user to different inner programs providing their requirements. Theses modular types are named as Type A to Type E which is from bottom to top level. The following program is defined as below description.

Type A is mainly used as a lobby and welcoming space. This space is closely connected with ground landscape.

Type B is the space for the office worker who needs relatively small scale of activity. This space includes static programs.

Type C is the space for public space. It is used on the purpose of large scale of seminar such as conference and group lecture.

Type D is the space for the office worker who needs relatively large scale of activity. This space includes active programs.

Type E is the special space for particular purpose for executive group or client meeting. Also restaurant is included in this type.

Remodeling work

240m Doldam : traditional stone wall, is interpenetrated into the space forming an organic cultural loop. This loop provides free access to building users with a vertical and a horizontal circulation which is functioned as a blood vessel of the building.

Original building had diverse entrances

Make three different Madangs by removing and adding the space maintaining original volume.

Make a void space in the center and inserte Doldam (Stone wall) inside

Doldam loop will make the boundary loose which enables users to reach any space at once.

Facade is consisted of four layers integrating with the Doldam loop. Each layers reflects surrounding circumstance or building’s inner program.

I wanted to make a façade harmonized with landscape. So I focused on the Korean Tradition Stone Wall. I extracted grids from it and than made three basic modules to cover the main facade. I adapted this system with focusing central space where is used to main entrance of this building. By doing this, Plaza URI can get more attracting environment breathing with light.

Contribution to the project Entire design from setting concept to completing drawings including diagrams.

For years the rational and rigid character imposed by the mechanical industry in Detroit had pushed artists and musicians to a side. But, after the economical collapse, this new creative branch has now imposed itself as the leading front that will revive Detroit honor. In this project I proposed to erase the upper levels of Detroit central station, a symbol of Fordism and industrialization with it’s exaggerated scale and repetitiveness, with high reflecting glass and embody artists insides of this building forming artistically attractive art shape representing surrealism.

Now this renovated building have a two faces during day and night. During the day time this building will hide their dark history containing the blue sky in it’s reflecting glass. On the other hand, during the night time, it will show Detroit’s contradiction suggesting present brightness is based on its dark history.

2014. 11 / Personal work At first I proceed the project with two basic figures such as circle and square. I integrated these figures in organic way putting a parametric algorism. In this way. I made a small scale’s furniture and than I extended it up to the auditorium scale. This project reflects the way how I can adapting free-form design into architectural method.
