Forest Kindergarten

Field : Professional Position : Project Architect, Project Leader Role : Schemetic Design, Design Development,Landscape Drawing, Construction Drawing, Physical modeling Site : YuzhouCity, Shandong, China Period : May 2019 - Jan 2022

Forest Kindergarten is situated in a densely forested area in the countryside of Shandong, China. We intended to create an architecture to connect children with their surrounding natural environment and reflect perspectives from their world. He chose to plan the spatial composition of the building as little as possible to allow for freedom in the children’s play and activity. As such, he considered a range of scales to think about the different spaces: classrooms include the scale of an adult, other spaces can only be used by children, still others are places where even children crawling or crouching cannot reach, so that every space inspires a multitude of activities. A reinforced concrete roof with large openings covers the building to merge with the ground in multiple areas and create spaces for play and activity. The roof is supported by thin steel pillars, which transfer the vertical load, while the horizontal load is carried by the contact points with the ground. The design of the roof follows a process of study through a series of collages, each gathering images such as animals, plants, and children’s illustrations. These studies are progressively stylized to create the shape and contours of the building. Emerging from figurative imagery no longer recognizable, the architecture takes form to allow children to perceive and imagine a multitude of visions and possibilities. For instance, where the roof dips downward, children feel as if they are falling on top of a flower, or sliding down an elephant’s nose. Abstract and concrete, giant and miniscule, interior and exterior mix so that every space in every way opens every child up to infinite imagination, creating an architecture made entirely out of non-architectural elements. 03

The Tokushima Culture and ArtHall

Field : Professional Position : Architectural Designer Role : 3D Modeling, Rendering Site : Tokushima, Japan Period : Nov 2021 - Dec 2021

in contrast to typical concert hall designs, where the space is formed by uniform seats that are packed in a box and look in one direction all at once, the interior of this main hall is made up of petal-like platforms that attribute a unique personality to it. these can serve different purposes when a performance is not taking place. for example, each foyer can be made into an independent space, where exhibitions or lectures can be held. meanwhile, the facility’s small hall is planned as open to the city and to the site’s landscape, with a transparent glass wall that softly wraps the space. the audience seats here are constructed based on the style of the ancient amphitheater. the project also includes a series of other functions, such as an outdoor cinema, a restaurant terrace, a water stage, a semi-underground multipurpose studio and various foyers and gardens. 19

The Moundscape

Field : Professional Position : Project Architect Role : Masterplan, Schemetic Design, 3D Modelling, 2D Planning Site : Sejong-City Gumgang-Cheon Award : 2nd Prize Schedue : April - October 2017

The present Museum Complex which will be completed in designated phases requires a careful approach on how to use the land in the most efficient manner. The main underground road crossing through the land sets the main axis of access for the access of visitors to each museum and for the exhibition, and at the same time it is a very important infrastructure which composes the circulation line within the land. Thus, the visitor can directly access to the upper square and to each museum from the parking lot placed in the center of the underground space in the 1st phase project and from the museum storage. The main road longitudinally crossing through the center of the land divides the underground space in two and connects the moving line into the upper museum space. With the parking lot and storage in the center, the Control Operation Center and the Children Museum are placed on the upper part. From the central axis in the center, the exterior mass and spaces are divided in a crucial form. The four additional museums can be sequentially placed based on the central core type placing method, with the parking lot and the square in the center. Thus, the Control Operation Center and the Children Museum are placed with different axis with the parking lot and the square in the center, and from this central axis line of crucial form the mound form and exterior exposed museums are organized.

‘seoul home / seoul home’ from ‘home within home’, do ho suh, 2012 silk, metal armature all images courtesy leeum, samsung museum of art and the artist ‘home within home’ is a solo representation of do ho suh’s work showcasing the korean artist’s newest sculptural pieces. the special exhibition gallery of leeum samsung museum of art has been decorated with suh’s thread-and-sheer-fabricdrawn representations of his nomadic existence living in major urban centers such as seoul, new york and berlin. in ‘home within home’, the artist investigates the idea of truly inhabiting a place, developing the concept of ‘home’ as skeletal representations throughout the museum, actualizing this concept as both a boundary and passageway in the gallery space. each piece exists as an entirely separate experience, influenced by the light and surrounding architecture; the orientation of the suspended works in comparison to one another also reveals a greater complexity to the artist’s examination of ‘the home’ through this assemblage of bright floating structures.

Intuitive Structure

Field : Master of Architecture Research Project Program : Timber Structure Professor : Matthijs La Loi, Guilio Brugnaro Site : None Award : The Bartlett School of Architecture FIFTEEN Exhibition : Merit Schedue : January - December 2018

Motion capture cameras are commonly used in a lab environment to capture movement. Furthermore, such cameras allow robots to measure their position via reflective markers. The motion capture system employed in this study was accurate to one millimeter. The only limitation thereof was the size of the experimental space. Motion Capture Cameras can record the whole movement of human bending, therefore, the robot can repeat the movement completely. The existing 3-D modelling software is well suited to both modelling and data analysis; however, due to a lack of ‘fluidity’, CAD system are not well suited to the modification of designs (Gross, 2006). Such 3D modelling and softwarebased shortcomings can impede upon novice designers’ ideational confidence and creativity (Kwon, 2005). Consequently, the creation of an effective virtual 3D physics modelling medium would present designers with a powerful and intuitive platform in which to explore ideas and modify designs; furthermore, the computational capabilities thereof are well suited to the analysis and resolution of any communicational problems. Introducing VR in our project allow designers have a total concept and overview of the design, and then, interact and modify the design with the tracking system to directly link our physical world with the virtual environment. Thus, starting with a rough digital model and using real-time data steaming techniques, my aim was to design a 3D modelling software application that can be used to bend virtual wood pieces within a virtual reality environment.

Seoul is a radical modernized city. This city became a gray city with a bunch of apartments because of this phenomenon from 1970ís, and it lost its landmark such as Korean natural landscape. This situation has pushed people in the city to live with individualism. Main story I wanted to search is how buildings and a greenbelt have a relationship. There is a good example in London. They set up a green belt and then built buildings in the other areas. On the other hand, in Korea, people cut mountains artificially to build buildings and make a green belt in the other areas. I agree with an article that high-rise apartments donít match with Korean city environment. However, Korea also should be developed by building skyscrapers. Thatís why Iíve thought how high-rise complex with traditional scenery looks like by hypoth-esizing skyscrapers in a big city in Korea. There are two low-rise overcrowded areas in Korea, which have potential opportunity to develop: Yongsan and Namsan. Iím going to suggest this area, which is between them, would be changed to ëforest of cityí as a modern community with a mountain and pond and to a modern ecological city to recover snapped Baekdudaegan Mountain Range.

The architects designed the entire complex, from the landscape to the smallest lamp, though there are also integrated sculptures by Carl Milles. Lewerentzís contribution mainly concerned the landscape but also the main entrance and the classical ìUppstÂndelsekapelletî or Resurrection Chapel, which was built in 1925. Asplund devoted himself mainly to the buildings, and the small Woodland Crematorium built in 1935-40 has been regarded as a central work in his oeuvre as well as the Nordic Classicism style of that period. The small chapel, set on a Tuscan peristyle and featuring a gold statue on the roof by Carl Milles, was in fact derived from a ìprimitive hutî that Asplund had happened to see in a garden at Liselund. The crematorium, with its Faith, Hope, and Holy Cross Chapels, was Asplundís final work of architecture, designed in a rational modernist style typical for his later work, opened shortly before his death in 1940. In 1994, SkogskyrkogÂrden was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and although it does not have the number of famous interments as the Norra begravningsplatsen, its much older counterpart in northern Stockholm, it is a major tourist attraction. At the Tallum Pavilion (a building designed originally by Asplund as staff facilities), visitors can see an exhibition about the cemetery and the story of its origins and the two architects whose vision created it.

Structure and Stratification

Field : Architectural Association School of Architecture Visiting School Workshop Program : Computational Design My Role : Processing, Grasshopper3D, Rendering Site : Shanghai Award : Selection Super Architects Online Collaboration : Qing Hong, Ningxin Huang, Siu Yoon, Zihao Wang Schedue : April 2015

This 8-day intensive studio at the AAVS Shanghai was interested in the [ geological model of strata ] as an inspiration for computational and urban models, rather than a biological or organic model. At a certain moment in the sixties, early computer xperiments by artists such as Frieder Nake, Michael Noll and Vera Molnar coincided with the [ radical architectural ] proposals by a group of architects which were later categorized as Structuralists. These group of architects included Aldo Van Eyck, Herman Hertzberger and metabolists like Kenzo Tange. However, these two movements never intersected with each other, and only recently there is a renewed interest in the legacy of their work. The studio looked at computational models developed by these early group of mavericks, and translated them into [ highly structured ] , an-organic, architectural models. Different from early sketches, students were able to update models with time-based, adaptive qualities which are able to absorband respond to external parameters.
