To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to recommend Yong Jae Kim, for whom I was the direct supervisor during his employment at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill this past summer. I am a Technical Design Studio Head at SOM where I oversee approximately 25 people working on three to eight projects at any given time. Yong Jae was selected from a pool of over 500 applicants to hold an architectural summer internship in our Chicago office from June through August 2015. My experience working closely with Yong Jae substantiated the excellent design abilities we witnessed in his portfolio. As a summer intern, our goal was to expose Yong Jae to as many experiences as possible. Not only was he open minded to new experiences, his extensive range of skills allowed us to integrate Yong Jae into vital components on numerous projects. Here is an overview of his contributions during his internship: x x x x x x

Modeling and rendering canopy options for a mixed use tower in design development phase using Rhino, Maxwell, and Photoshop (172hrs) Rendering for a city planning competition in conceptual design phase using Maxwell and Photoshop (47hrs) Diagraming for a mixed use supertall tower in schematic design phase using Illustrator and Photoshop Interior modeling and rendering for an office lobby in schematic design phase using Rhino, Maxwell and Photoshop (39hrs) Editing plans for a firm-wide marketing brochure using AutoCad and Illustrator (99hrs) Integrating review comments for a mixed use tower in construction administration phase using AutoCad and Bluebeam (14hrs)

Yong Jaeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calm and confident personality was appreciated during critical deadlines. He built my trust throughout the summer as he consistently completed tasks in a timely and professional manner, sometimes working additional hours if necessary. Yong Jaeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet demeanor did not stop him from asking advantageous and relevant questions. I would be glad to have Yong Jae back on our team but I also support him in broadening his experiences by working in other environments. Based on his summer internship performance, I am confident Yong Jae has the ability to excel in any entry-level architectural situation. Please contact me if you would like to discuss my recommendation of Yong Jae in more detail. Kind Regards,

enn Station serves as a primary gateway into the city. It is one of major train stations including Grand Central station, and World Trade Center Transportation Hub. It was originally designed to accomodate 200 thousands of riders per day, however, it is now packed with over 600 thousands of riders per day, which is even larger than riders of JFK, ERW, and LGA all combined. The user faces an underground labyrinth with no connection to the city, light or air while the land above only utilizes about one-third of the maximum FAR thereby limiting its value. It is urgent to think about re-envisioning Penn Station. There are ciritical issues with the existing conditions of Penn Station: The trakcs and platforms are 44â&#x20AC;&#x2122; below street level. All passengers must navigate three levels before they can reach their train. All waiting areas are shared by all passengers regardless of which train service they use. Lack of visual connectivity and transparency as well as unclear circulation make all levels unfriendly for passengers and visitors. The exit concourse, centeral concourse, and NJ Transit concourse are not well-connected and do not form a clear network, which would help guide passengers intuitively through the circulation system. Combined with a complex signage system and the mixing of back-of-house and retail services, pedestrian circulation at Penn Station is a labyrinth that even the most regular passengers have a hard time navigating. The proposal will create two grand entrances for departure and arrival with station identity, while also removing visual clutter to create a streamlined experience for travelers and visitors. The original station served not only as a transportation hub, but as an elaborate entranceway into New York City. The new design should seize the opportunity to rekindle this iconic experience and mitigate the sense of loss felt by New Yorkers. Strategic use of natural light helps to deďŹ ne interior spaces, to create a sense of uplift and openness in the vast building, and to reinforce the gate way notion by developing orientation from the inside out.

SMART APARTMENT PLAY Spring Semester 2014 Instructor: Hina Jamelle Consultant: Dan Brodkin and Matt Jackson, ARUP New York Location: West Soho, New York City Program: Residential + Office + Entertainment Softwares: Maya, Rhino, Illustrator, AutoCad, Photoshop, Maxwell, and Vray

WORK

*Published in Pressing Matters 2014-2015

he Smart apartments building is a design in which working, living, private atmosphere and public space come together. It’s about the ﬂexible co-existence and integration of daily living- and working situations within one system. The system needs to accommodate and proliferate new lifestyles and work styles by following the slogan: we live and work wherever and whenever we are.

LIVE

work

play

Live, work and play – at the crossroads of these intersecting human desires stands this uniquely defined TriBeCa highrise. While the programs coincide in a single tower, each area is defined by a distinct spatial and structural theme. Residential units are constructed using an exposed concrete structure, which allows for sinuous edges and soft flowing spaces, creating a warm sense of visual and acoustic harmony. In contrast, the commercial spaces employ exposed steel structures, accentuated sharp edges, and raw structural details embody urban modernity and sophistication, complementing the everyday lives of its inhabitants.

play

work

This sequence of activities is committed to exploring the extremities of human condition. The stylistic attribute variation, ranging from monolithic to skeletal, closed to open, soft to sharp, reﬂects the paradoxical nature of our experiences, as well as the staggering diversity found in contemporary urban life. The height of the building not only provides it with a stunning view, but also has the effect of establishing its three-dimensional presence. Floors alternate between concrete and steel structures, allowing them to exploit free plan - as the programs are marked by various structural members, which oscillate between support and architectural deﬁner, utility and aesthetics, necessity and decor.

03 THE CULTURAL CENTER Spring Semester 2015 Instructor: Tom Wiscombe Location: New York City Program: Cultural Softwares: Maya, Rhino, Illustrator, AutoCad, Photoshop, Keyshot, and Z-brush *Published in Pressing Matters 2015-2016

f everything is a whole object and not a part of something else, and everything exists equally but differently, then vertical stratiﬁcation between parts and wholes becomes impossible. In this model, everything exists side by side, like a collection of treasures laid out on a table. WHAT IS FLAT ONTOLOGY?

from www.tomwiscombe.com

The project is based on creating mystery and spatial tension between elements such as building masses, interior spaces, surface articulation, and ground. It is refered as the architecture of a ﬂat ontology, where architecture is pulled apart into discrete parts so that it can be put back together again in unexpected ways. In this way, architecture becomes a set of interactive whole objects rather than a classical part-to-whole unity. Near ﬁguration is achieved by either subtracting or pushing voxels into one another and by creating illusions between exterior and interior.

Voxel + Jack

Near figuration is defined as the appearance of distinct, legible objects from illegible or fluid conditions, that is, as the simultaneity of things which have both graphic and formal features. It includes involuted figures, which can simutaneously create exterior depth effects but also interior spatial figuration.

04 HOUSE OF PAINTERS ultra luxury + low income housing

Fall Semester 2013 Instructor: Jonas Coersmeier Location: 229 10th ave, New York, NY 10011 Program: Residential Softwares: Maya, Rhino, Illustrator, AutoCad, Photoshop, Maxwell, and Vray *Published in Pressing Matters 2014-2015

his architectural design studio invents a combinatory logic for ultra luxury and low income housing, and proposes a prototype for new residential towers along the High Line urban park in New York City. As a complimentary program to attract public use, and working as a synthesizer for community and appropriation, the housing program will be rounded off by an arts center that supports the presentation of innovative, multi-disciplinary work and serves as an intersection of cultural engagement for local, national, and international audiences and arts-workers. This program will catalyze to acquaint high- and low income occupants with each other, and generate respective appreciation, goals and contributions to society at large. Natural systems offer architects and designers signiďŹ cant potential as alternative, ecologically performative architectonic strategies. Study of sea urchin generated cluster concept forming ultra luxury and low income housing and circulations and programs between two different entities.

Perspective Section of the Cluster

A cluster derived from analysis of sea urchin includes a luxurious two bedrooms, and three affordable studios. A wealthy person and a young artist can socilize at the shared space in the middle of the cluster where buying or selling artworks, and art classes, exhibition take place. Creating a smooth integration of two extremes in the socio-economic spectrum requires a reminder of what unites us as people. Providing shelter, a sense of community, and art exhibitions, the tower is composed of a blend of low-income and luxury housing, linked by communal floors that provide ample opportunity for social interaction. The highline level gives prime access to an uncensored and unjuried exhibition space for all artists, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents for both tenants and visitors alike. The 60,000 square foot tower provides private living ranging from studios to 3 bedroom penthouses, as well as communal living quarters. In the artist communes, each artist works his or her studio. Such floors are in close proximity to communal floors that provide amenities such as outdoor patios, exercise facilities, and dining rooms. The different housing units interweave and overlap, blending together both vertically and horizontally, blurring social and economic boundaries, while also maximizing rent-able square footage and providing a diverse array of housing units.

05_1 HYBRIDIZATION OF CHAIRS : Diamond Chair + LC4 Chaise Longue

Fall Semester 2012 Instructor: Soﬁa Krimizi Project 1 (Project length: three weeks) Softwares: Rhino, Illustrator, and Photoshop *Published in Pressing Matters 2013-2014

roject starts from analyzing two chairs and ends with hybridizing them. Analyzing begins with measuring chairs without convetional tools, such as a ruler. Measuring and transfering to the 3D world give full and deep understanding of the objects. We chose Diamond Chair, designed by Harry Bertoia in 1952, as we were intereted in its unique organic shape. He stated that “I appreciate a slight yield, lightness of weight, some motion if possible, because in moving about, the human body determines… the comfort and the measurements of its environment… the human measure is still the strongest factor, and if the chair’s adaptable it responds and it’s almost like wearing a comfortable coat; you really don’t know you have it on.” Diamond Chair is hybridized with LC4 Chiase Lonuge, designed by Le Corbusier in 1887, and a unique chair is created. Seven organic shapes of chairs with seven different functions are combined, and each chair appears as it is ﬂipped or roatated. The chair not only functions as furniture but also provides users with pleasant experience exploring different shapes and movements.

he main concept, “rotation” is derived and geometry is generated from the ﬁrst project, “hybridization of chairs.” Each triangle thread on the three diamond chair is roated 2 or 3 dimensionally and created spaces are combined becoming an inteior space for an accountant. Weight of documents pushes down (peak season) or lift up (off-season) spaces and creates different “proximity” and “size” of interior spaces based on an accountant’s yearly work cycle.

Starting point is determining an occupant. Since I had work experience as an accountant, I was able to fully understand what the accountant needs based on the work cycle; busy season (March to May) and off-season (June to Febuary). During busy season, the accountant needs direct access to library and library should be spacious. On the other hand, during off-season, sufficient space of living room and direct access to living room are provided. Fully understanding of the occupant signiďŹ cantly affects overall design process, such as space organization, programs, circulations, etc. 54

Idiscipline, f the ﬁrst two projects were to instill knowledge as architectural then the object-hybrid study followed by its expanded domestic interior-hybrid design is now exercised on a fully developed inside-outside. The concept of the “looping” is derived comes from the secon project, “interior space for an accountant”. Three loops create seperate circulations for the performers and the public, and spaces, such as plaza, bar, performance hall, and cafe by intertwining each other. These spaces are both public and private – different occupants require different strategies. The public and the performers will require different experiences and occupancies.

06 PUBLIC MENTAL THERAPY CENTER : interactive isolation

Spring Semester 2013 Instructor: Reese Campbell Location: 600 Schuylkill Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19146 Program: health care Softwares: Rhino, Illustrator, AutoCad, Photoshop, Maxwell

olemic statement: “Mental well-being can be improved by interaction and solitude in isolated environements inside or urban fabric.” Although the modern society has become more materialistically afﬂuent, people are exhausted from the competitive environments, ﬁnancial difficulties, hectic lifestyles, and socio-economic pressures. According to the site analysis, the site is somewhat isolated mainly because of a massive apartment complex right accross the street and nearby Schuykill River, blocking traffic, visual polution, noise, and accessibility. I came up with a question “why don’t I take advantage of isolation for the people who need calm and quite place but want to feel connected with other people at the same time?” This project started from interactions within isolation. Examples of interactions in isolative space: (a) gravels interconnected by cement, (b) keyboard buttons are linked by lights, (c) each installation is accessible by void space, and (d) myriad activities throughout the Central Park in isolated environment from Manhattan. The strategy is developed to manipulate degrees of isolation and interaction architecturally.

concept model: indepent space, but interactive with other programs within isolated environemnt provides variety of space combinations based on types of mental therapy. d

a) degree of isolation or interaction increases or decreases by dividing spaces, circulations, blocking sounds using landscape, controlling visibility, and combining interactive and isolated programs. Programs with isolation are located through the red circulations and more programs with interaction are placed along the green circulations (see the digram b). Each user can choose either red or green circulations from the entrance depending on what kind of mental therapy is needed for him or her.

10 FLOWS BETWEEN DIFFERENCES :this project shows frictions and interactions between accounting and architecture that I have felt before studying arcihtecture at school. After three yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; studying architecture, I realized that it begin with collision, but they progress into a developed relationship through understanding and respecting. Commonalities and mutual interchanges are found accross seemingly different ďŹ elds, but it creates uniqueness as well.

Documents & rigid box (Accounting) vs. Water (Architecture): the shape of water varies depending on its immediate surroundings. It can take the form of a mug, bowl or basin. Architecture embraces diversity. 76

Crumbled documents (Accounting) vs. Lights (Architecture): light is refracted and broken into all the colors of rainbow when it passes through a prism. All residential buildings serve the same general purposes: to provide spaces for people to live. However, they come in a wide variety: high-rise apartments in the city, town houses in a suburb, and single houses in the country. Architectural design differs in its appearance and is readily changeable like light.

Documents (Accounting) vs. People (Architecture): architecture begins with an architect and reaches completion through the people who use the spaces. Architecture continuously communicates with people who make, use, or pass through the buildings. When architecture helps people to progress through their lives, their progress gives the meaning to the architecture. 77
