Jemulpo-gil is a name of an expressway in Seoul, South Korea that runs in an eastwest direction, from Youido, an island on Han river, to Shinwol IC (interchange) on the western edge of the city. It is believed that the expressway has deepen the separation between the north and south sides, and further deteriorated the living condition of the area. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has been considering the idea of converting the surface of Jemulpo-gil to public space

Eco-Community: This zone is designated for the surrounding communities. This zone poses opportunities for the neighborhoods to truly engage in community activities with practice of sustainability. This is a place for community recreations with enhancement of human well being.

Concept Development Reconnecting North-South disconnection by infilterating outer infleunces. Aggregate of influences generate energy and activities which result in growth of the community.

Commercial Hub: This zone offers a lively public realm for local businesses, small ve structures accommodate cafes, shops and restaurants and serve a dynamic experience of city life.

The vision of Greenwalk is to regenerate and revitalize the public realm and serve as the catalyst for reconnecting the broken urban fabric. Greenwalk conceives Jemulpo express line into three distinct program zones that correlate with the current land use composition within the adjacent blocks: Eco-Community [Zone 1], Commercial Hub [Zone 2], and Civic Commons [Zone 3].

Christie Park: Urban Playground Among Ruins University of Washington Master Studio | Fall 2013 Christie Park is located at 9th Ave NE and NE 43rd Street. Christie Park is currently not being used well by the neighbors, which are mainly university students and single families. The site is in a great location and it is only a couple of blocks away from the future light rail station. Christie Park has great potential to become the park of urban play and fun in the U-District, a neighborhood that is seriously lacking green space and parks. The newly proposed design for Christie Park will transform it into and Urban Playground Among Ruins with lush nature and fun activities for everyone .to enjoy and appreciate.

Concept Development

From - Concrete-dominated - Lack of greenery - Missed Opportunities - No fun...

To - Green-dominated - Keep great pieces (Trees, Concrete wall...) - Expand and use space wisely - More activities and fun!!

Zone of play and fun in the middle of tree trunks and ruin walls

12 feet-tall concrete wall has been blocking peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; view and increased the risk of crime and illegal camping. The wall will be teared down into strips. This will result in getting rid of shaded, dangerous spots in the park and, at the same time, will create the feel of old ruins with ivy climbing up the walls.

This section will be placed in front of the strips of walls. Tree logs and big branches will be installed and create very lush, organic area for people to talk, play, or just have a great time. Robustness is the strength of this zone.

This zone is here to invite people to actively participate in small community gatherings or events. Red lounge chairs will be placed on top of the concrete tile platform so people can sit down and relax or have small parties when needed.

The original design of Christie Park consists of many dull concrete pavers and platforms. To recycle the materials on site, the broken concrete pieces will be reused to construct different parts in the park, including a concrete tile path and boulders for extra seating.

S-MATRIX: Infiltration through Scattering Gerald D. Hines Competition | Winter 2014 Role: Team Leader Team Members: Youngsuk Jun, Heli Ojimaa, Kei-Sing Yiu, Jerry Tao, Bo Peng Moving particles deviating from a straight trajectory by one or more paths due to localized non-uniformities in the medium through which they pass is called scattering. In this process, the incoming particles differ from the outgoing particles, as they are transformed by their interactions. In particle physics the S-matrix is used to calculate this process that relates the infi nite past to the infinite future.

An overarching theme of infiltration through scattering impacted our design approach for developing the site in thinking about fl ood mitigation and resilience, site program and design, connectivity and activation, and modes of transport.

Waterfront Park

This new Waterfront Park will connect the neighbohood to waterfront. The park will have multiple funtions and facilities: wetland walk (stormwater management), outdoor swimming pools, outdoor theaters and more. The wetland walk (north end of the park) will certainly reduce the potential flood damage in the near future.

Music Greenway

The Music Greenway will not only function as a community gathering/communiting area but also become a waterway which would be active during heavy rains to cope against rainstorm. Community garden will also be active along the Music Greenway.

Layering Growth: Interbay P-Patch University of Washington Master Studio | Winter 2014 This design is about community connection and growth. This connection and growth are not only among people, but also between nature and people. Newly expanded wetland and additional structures will encourage the growth of natural habitats for people to embrace.

Community meeting survey revealed that the members, overall, wanted to have open, play area with some natural trails and connection to nature and surroundings. Additional gardening space was also desired.

My design offers something new to the community p-patch. I wanted to offer most of the needs and desires from the community meeting and make this extra area more of natural wetland area with circulations and open space for activities. On top of the addional space for gardening, multiple layers of natural trails (hummingbird sanctuary, cattail walk, and wetland passage) will be added.

Shifting Scale: Cowen Park Bridge University of Washington Master Studio | Fall 2012 The Cowen Park Bridge is a concrete arch bridge in Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ravenna-Cowen Park. This structure is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and it is a designated city landmark. The bridge was built in 1936 by the engineer Clark Eldridge. The Cowen Park Bridge connects 15th Ave NE, from NE Ravenna Blvd to NE 62nd St. Many people around the area love to use the trail of Ravenna Park for walking, jogging, and bicycling. Since the Cowen Park Bridge is located in the West entrance of the park, people must go under this massive concrete structure. From the landing stage, I personally thought that this magnificent structure was not appreciated enough and thought it as a lost opportunity. I truly wanted to engage people to experience this bridge in different and special way.

Placing a structure weaving through the bridge allows the users to have special moments and experience inbetween floating spaces under the Cowen Park Bridge. Hanging wires at the end of the structure offers the sensation of suspension bridge.

Chalk This Way: The University District University of Washington Master Studio | Fall 2013 Youngsuk Jun + Scott Boetjer + Tianshi Guo + Dhara Goradia + Veronica Macalinao A temporary installation group project for urban play in abandoned area of the University District, Seattle.

The site is a local commuter artery primarily used by pedestrian and cyclist students. The blank construction wall along the sidewalk conceals a day care playground and is opposite a construction site. The idea of a chalkboard intervention is to provide a place for people to write or draw their thoughts on a whim and create a place for students to express themselves. Normally an uninviting sidewalk, the installation quickly became filled with multilingual text and quirky drawings.

Site: NE 40th St & Cowlitz Rd, Seattle, WA

Other Works: Crafting, Modeling, Construction Documents, and Sketches

Twisted Intentions | Ecological Systems Studio | Spring 2013 This model illustrates how human intentions in the site to the nature eventually transform the site into homes (habitats) for all the living things in the site. Wires and pins symbolize the human enginerring and intention to force or lead the flow of nature to certain way. The tree represent the transformation of human intention into habitats for other species.
