Description When I lived in Canada and US, I wrote down about my experience in English to keep my memory. It inspired me greatly to live and travel to other countries. So, I tried to record all my memories by writing them down in essays. For a year, I have lived in two cities,Vancouver and Calgary, and traveled five cities, LasVegas, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, NewYork and Los Angeles. This book contains each city’s information and also the information of the city attractions within my essay. This book is divided into eight chapters and arranged by their own color. Overall, I tried to put the same design at the first page on each chapter to get unification.Andthen,Idesigneditspageswiththeirconcept.Thebook’stitleMJL is representing my name initial.The reason why the title is my name is to express self-confidencethroughthisbook.Thebookcouldbeonebookbyitself.However,if I have the change to go to travel more, I have the intension to make another book.

Description Actually, t way airline’s CI design was so out of style. They are not even famous for people, so if anyone asks about it, almost people don’t know what they are.

The first plan is to maintain using those colors and make it more simple and cute. But, the second pan is used new colors, plain pink and dark olive and made it of totally different style.Two planshaveincommonconcept,uniqueandvisual.Therearemany applicationsforairlineswithnewCIdesignsuchasairplanes,cars, uniforms, business cards, documents and even cups.

Curve And Interpenetration Media Space and Concept II
SpaceDesign
Description This space design project was by using the rhino grasshopper. Sincethisdesignproject‘Grasshopper’justcame out,mostofstudents,evenprofessor,wereveryconfused on handling the program. It should be put on only accurate number to make lines, curves like an algorithm. You can find it out in my panel. Mostly, I controlled this design with only curves in this project. Crossing the curves interpenetrate themselves. When crossing the curves themselves, it has become to make some space along to curves. The spaces can be used for people as studios, officials, or just cafes. This architecture is pretty experimentalandinnovativeprojectthatIhadnevertried. I think it was good attempt by using the new program. It willbeusingitbyarchitectandspacedesignersincenow.

Description It is media art pavilion located in Heyri Paju which is art village. Media art pavilion is divided two buildings, gallery section and exhibition section.They have been located along both sides of the river. Even though the buildings are the same uses for media art, they are made of totally different element; the exhibitionarchitectureismadeofonlylines,however,theeducationarchitecture is made of only curves. The exhibition architecture is the figuration of birds’ wings. You are able to check the shape spreading the wings of a bird. The bird wing stands for freedom and peace. By the wing’s meaning, the architecture has a meaning to freedom, tenderness and peace. There are the fourth floors that are involved as café, galleries. One more special thing I would like to say is adeck. Usingadeckisalsooneofimportantthingsinthisarchitecturebecause it is on the water people can’t just go into the building. It let them connect. Moreover, you can watch the spectacular view to Heyri village in this building.

It is composed up curves, not lines because the building in the campus are made up lines as well as I wanted it for students to feel fun and exciting. They must have not been this architecture in the school. People walking down this bridge would be able to feel curious and excited.
