Extension
/ 3rd year
: The extension of school of architecture including review rooms, Gallery, and Cafe The projection of circulation from the site seems like a water flow, and it led me to the question, how does the speed of circulation create the interaction between spaces? The Idea of less interruption with interaction is the study of interaction between spaces depending on the speed of circulation.

Since the site is surrounded by 3 different university buildings, Cowgill hall(school of Architecture), Derring hall(school of science), and Johnsten Student center, Huge traffic always exist during semester.
The concept of water flow as a circulation on the originial site used to have a problem of “short-cut”. All the movement were limited by the blockes on the site, and students had to go around them.The building has influenced on the site and changed the landsacpe to be more productive and natural way.

Cape Town Gallary / 2nd year The Idea of circulation becomes a space give s the indirect experience of table mountain from the bottom to the top observatory deck. The repetition of switching view between open and close makes strong impact of observatory space, facing towards table mountain.
13
The gallery has very low linear slit windows to mediate direct sunlight from the south at the day time. The cafe is fully open to the street in purpose of showing presence of space above, and attracting population. Mimicking of hike experience on the space as a circulation makes the space more meanigful and monumental.

Using concrete for the main metarial of entire building appeals contrast between massive volumes and void in the middle. The repetition of circulation meets different conditions of openings on each floor which gives more diversified experiences.

Kinetic Machine for Spacial System
/
3rd year team project with Ingrid Brandares, Adrian Talastas
The Tension in a folded form manipulated the dimension. In terms of spacial system, the control of dimension is directly affective to experience of space or the quality of space. This machine changes the dimension of all edges by the movement of folded volume, the core. As Multi-axises tied together fold the transparent slits at the outer layer, the
19
core space gets more esposed to exterior. Each handle on each axis has the control of whole since all dimensions are connected by the core spcae. The transcaction of kinetic enery spreads out to different spaces on the machine and implies phenomenal spcaial movement with the system

Pandapas Pond Research Center / 3rd year 1 week competition
Framing view of nature and humanity was the key idea to create this research space to be a bridge between them. Three different views start from the simple rectangular frame and ends with circular mesh exterior finish covered with local plants and vines.
A House for 21 Century / ACSA Housing Competition The Idea of arraying spcaes continuosly is projected on transmission of nature though out the spaces. The circulation from bedroom to the work space depicts the experience as person goes out at the main entrance. Metal sheeting elements on the roof carries the water from roof on the bedroom to the storage above the work space. Several folding mome-
25
ments of metal sheets let the skylight shines inside, and let the rain dorps into the plants while original water from the top roof is carried to the bottom. Transition between small windows to huge skylight at the end distinguishes programs into differents atmospheres. Relatively large horizontal windows have applied more to private spaces, whereas more vertical opens happens at the work space.
