To: My mother, Soon-Ja Yi For your unwavering support and your radiant optimism
“[ I must begin ] an experiment, to find what a single individual could contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity.� - BUCKY FULLER
Buckminster Fuller ii
Depending on the architect’s quality of work, a completed buildling has a vast potential to directly better the lives of others just from its tangible existence. I want my love for design translate into this profession. And behind every work, I long to practice empathy unto my designs.
This is why I devote to Architecture iii
iv
v
vi “Layers” is analogous to “supervenience” in Ontological Philosophy. Everything exist in layers of lower-level properties that dictates the apparent beings. Architecture and design should be practiced with this in mind to realize the importance of vast relations among subjects that relate with anything that involves Architecture and design.
“EVERYTHING IS CONSTRUCTED IN LAYERS” MANTRA //
I have carried out my projects with this statement in mind.
4 PERSONAL DESIGN GUIDELINES 1 // AVOID EGOTISM, PRACTICE ALTRUISM:
A designer’s egotistic design preference should not dictate their design decisions. Architecture ultimately serves the people, and negative repercussions may spawn if humanistic design criterias are ignored. A reversal of such instance may occur when every issue is respected before its fabrication stage. It is not about how “I want it to be,” but from the fact that “the design requires it to be.”
2 // ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CONCERNS THE ETHICS: The environmental change is indeed affected by designers. The clients and our offsprings are embedded with the current environment. Apply sustainable solutions with ethical approach.
3 // FORM NEVER DICTATES THE DESIGN:
Adolf Loos was correct 100 years ago: Avoid ornamentation. Architectural symbolism and metaphors can become extraneous; but structural honesty and construction purity preside the form. The “beauty” and the desired aesthetics cannot come to fruition if one applies “beauty” and aesthetics as an initial consideration of their design.
4 // OCCAM’S RAZOR:
Have a clear concept. Between any comparable concepts, the simpler concept should trump the other. Reject embellishment of ideas. Keep it concise as possible. Stay honest with yourself by not adorning your concept. Your concept should be sourced from your ideas that is succinct and efficient.
5 // ADAPT OR DIE:
Expect vast revolutions in the future. Be willing to adapt to new concepts, technology, culture, etc. Architecture must evolve simultaneously with the contextual world that it inhabits. Good design always respects its context.

CRIPE site location // Shutes Folly Is., Charleston, South Carolina
COMPETITION OBJECTIVE This competition is intended to rethink the abandoned early 19th century fort. Participants are asked to preserve, interpret, & re-imagine the extant historic fabric as emblematic of the country’s early attempts to create a federal defense system and the site as an eco-tourist and educational destination. Solutions should explore the issues of access, the relationship between preservation & design (both architectural and landscape), off-grid energy consumption, changing climate patterns, water management, land use, & habitat protection. Participants should investigate how the preservation of this historically significant site can provoke a profound rethinking of our current conventions about preservation, design, community, the environment, & heritage tourism. 05
CASTLE PINCKNEY // brief
Oldest surviving fortification in Charleston, SC. Built in 1809 on a small island in the Charleston’s harbor. Due to lack of funding, Castle Pinckney has essentially languished in abandonment for over a century. Castle Pinckney is evocatively situated within the view shed of one of the nation’s most historic and well-preserved cities, yet its history and significance is virtually unknown to the citizenry at large. Respecting the natural beauty of the site along with the historic integrity of the fort, the design challenge is to identify a use for this former island fort; standing now as a Confederate prison and defunct lighthouse station. 06
CRIPE right : conceptual sketches on tracing paper: 5 overlays
Initial concepts were quickly formed from the most apparent evidences. 3 critical factors were addressed : 1 // Access to Shutes Folly Island 2 // Establishing a program that encourages the exisiting ecological life 3 // Mitigating Charleston’s environmental issues (i.e. water quality)

CHARLESTON HARBOR SITE CONTEXT
// LANDMARKS
Belvederes’ orientations* were influenced by landmark’s geographic relation to the Shutes Folly Island. Visual privacy of the new pelican nesting grounds will heavily influence the form of “the shroud*,” in order to visually separate the exisiting wildlife and the visitors of the Shutes Folly Island.
08
*To derive the form of the belvedere and the “the Shroud,” an occlusion test based on these existing landmarks were later performed through Grasshopper ™ 3D definition. (Reference on p. 24)

// Maintaining & Mitigating Charleston Harbor’s Ecological Condition: Site location // Charleston, South Carolina
Castle Pinckney is a discouraged old soldier. It is battle-hardened; it has served its duty; and it has experienced boredom, horror, injustice, and defeat. The neighboring Ft. Sumter overshadows Castle Pinckney as if the 200 year old fort is just merely a pawn. After all, the American Civil War started there. It seems as though Castle Pinckney is cursed by its own Insignificance and by the verified conditions of the polluted waters within the Charleston Harbor (Charleston, SC’s aquatic life is exposed to harmful amount of fecal contaminants and dissolved oxygen.) But after 200years since its completion, this “insignificance” is now an illusion. Significant military defense system is no longer relative for Charleston, but it must defend itself against a global threat: the rising sealevel from global warming. 20

The very land that Castle Pinckney sits in is under a constant threat as the inhabitable land of the island is diminishing in size from the rising sea-level. We have also recently witnessed how the latest tropical storms like Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina can do to major cities like New York City and New Orleans. The results were devastating, as social & economic instability can arise from major natural disasters. In this design, the Castle Pinckney and Shutes’ Folly Island will no longer use cannons within its cannon casements to defend Charleston’s security and culture. Instead, the island will defend itself and the city of Charleston from various flood waters and rising sea-level by placing “batteries” of constructed wetlands that extends beyond the perimeters of the island.

The wetlands that are formed by geotextile tubes will provide a natural method of purification around the body of Charleston. The vegetation growing from these “batteries” will absorb excess water and nutrients; increase evaporation around its ecosystem; and pump oxygen down to micro-organisms living in neighboring sediments which will resolve the specific environmental issue of dissolved oxygen waters among Charleston. The sustainability lab will monitor the beneficial process that is made possible by the geotextile tubes. And the lab will also research further improvements for the neighboring waters. Eventually disseminating its environmental goals that can serve the interest of the global fight against global warming and the ensuing rising sea-level.

PRESERVATIVE FOR CASTLE PINCKNEY & SHUTES FOLLY ISLAND WILDLIFE // Preserving existing elements from invading elements Structural system // Pre-fabricated timber frame with stretched canvas The design proposal for the sustainability lab may finally give new purpose to the forgotten Castle Pinckney, but the structure of Castle Pinckney itself is also battling with its own issues due to its age and raw exposure to environmental conditions.
Above: Early sketch of pier’s structure for pelican-relocation “nest.”
The Brown Pelicans reside within Castle Pinckney and the southern portion of Shutes’ Folly Island. They are crucial part of the harmonized ecosystem of Charleston Harbor. But the bird’s presence and activity on Castle Pinckney is literally dissolving the envelope of the fort by the acidic process that’s sourced from the bird’s fecal matters.
Castle Pinckney may be standing as a ruin, but as a symbol, it serves the island as an identity-piece. This symbol will be partially & lightly entombed by a steel and fabric structure that protects Castle Pinckney from the most of the environmental conditions for many years. The translucent fabric and the lightweight-steel structure will finally give peace and inspiration to the space around the fort. The fabric is stretched around the tessellated form, and this will celebrate the light from the morning sunrise and the evening sunset by glimmering from direct daylighting. 27
The neighboring pelican nesting-area is placed adjacent to the island, but tucked away from human presence that will be present around the sustainability lab and the belvederes. And within the light pavilion, the south-facing sun will allow the visitors to gaze upon the casted-silhouettes, as flocks of native Brown Pelicans flies by the canvas.

Christy Woods [ brief ]
A non-denominational chapel was directed to be designed within Ball State University’s Christy Woods. Christy Woods have been functioning as a scenic area of BSU’s campus, where any students and faculty members can find solace and peace from the daily pressures from the university-based life. Christy Woods feature lush, native vegetation while accomodating various meandering paths and open spaces for the visitors. The non-denominational chapel also requires couseling programs within the building.

During the early stage of the project, precedent cases were studied in order to understand the historical practices behind religious architecture, and to find any common solutions to common issues when designing religious architecture. Four paradigms were identified after intensive studies of Steven Holl’s Chapel of St. Ignatius in Seattle, Washington; and the landmark architecture, Notre Dame du Haut by Le Corbusier in Ronchamp France: // // // //

EQUINOCTIAL LIGHT TUBES Celebrating sustainable daylighting // Based on March & September equinox This design approach was taken to solve a common issue behind sustainable practices, where sustainable design is susceptible to be merely “slapped on” sustainable features onto a structure. (e.g. “slapping on” green roof/photovoltaic panels/etc.) 1 // Integrating “Whole Systems Thinking/Design”: The diagonal bracings allow structural support for several elements; altar-aperture walls, the heliostats, & the light tubes. 2 // The heliostats & the light tubes receive architectonic response from the diagonal braces. 3 // The diagonal braces accentuate its feature without letting the sustainable add-ons (like the heliostats & the light tubes) to be dominant over the entire structure. 46
HELIOSTATS
Structural support for heliostats + light tubes
Reflect & Directs daylighting into the light tube. Optimizing the light tube’s potential year-round.
LIGHT TUBES (EQUINOCTIAL) Conceptually, the form and the orientation of the light tubes signify & highlight the annual equinoxes. It contributes the performance of the sanctuary by precisely directing daylight into a space where it may not have direct access to daylighting, such as the below-grade sanctuary.

The structure of the chapel itself is intended engage the inhabitants of the space in an intimate manner. Furniture (i.e. the pews) is provided from the structural flitch columns as the pews and benches “branch-out” from its structure. The pews are to provide a private space of reflection as the structure and the furnishing is designed to evoke “cradling” spaces for the users. This protective spirit inspired the name of the columns to be, “Guardian Trees.”

My journey would not have been possible if it were not for my parents, aunt, uncle, brother, friends, classmates, studiomates, mentors, and many of my former teachers & professors. My hunger for Architecture stems from them.
... and for that, thank you. 91

My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover. ~ Falsely yours
- Charles Bukowski 93
Thank you for considering
