COMPETITION
HELSINKI LINKI Helsinki Central Library competition (honorable mention) Helsinki, Sweden 2012 Spring Team members, Matthew Jull, Leena Cho, Edward Nicholson , Giancarlo Mangone, Marcus Parviainen, Pierre Jean Le Maitre Responsible for concept development, drawing diagrams, 3D modeling, rendering, and collages
With the new Central Library for Helsinki, we envision an institution at the heart of the city that is a dynamic space for interaction between new media and old, between the young and the elderly, and between the historic city and the future of culture, education, social spaces, and ecologically intelligtent buildings in Finland. We believe that the design for the new Central Library for Helsinki must begin from the potential of the library program and the ambitions of the city to create a people-centered institution. We choose to adopt a simple box-like form that does not compete with the surrounding cultural institutions through formal importance. Instead, the focuses on programmatic potentials by creating a dynamic series of spaces that are focused on the
needs, desires, and ambitions of the staff and public that will use this occupy and use this space. The spaces inside contains a certain freedom, however: this is a space that permits a composite mix of various media that will continue to change and evolve against the backdrop of an information-centered age.
SITE STRATEGY
Our approach is to critically assess the contextual strengths of the site – its location, connections, views, and environment in order to integrate the new library into the systems in the existing urban and green fabric of the city. A key element of our proposal is the importance and potential of building siting and massing. Starting from the original long rectangular footprint of parcel 2014 - we propose a reconfiguration of the 32m×150m (4800m2) boundary to a 70m×70m square on the northern half of the block. We believe this relocation and change in footprint of the library site will not only maximize the urban and architectural potential, but also help create a new hub for social life among the local community and the city of Helsinki.

CONCEPT & ORGANIZATION LIBRARY STRATEGY Our design has several key programmatic and circulation components: 1. A n open ground floor plan of 6m clear height that is accessible from four sides, encourages free circulation. Within this space, a mixture of program types creates a highly diversified experience for visitors to the library. 2. A compact collections level on Level 1 that houses the main book collections, providing a single quiet and tranquil room that resembles a forest, filled with soft light and a feeling of openness reminiscent of the outdoors. 3. Near the center of the collections, a large circular void provides connections to the ground floor and open skylight above. 4. A spiral ramp that is an extension of the historic Helsinki Harbor Rail line spirals through the library to the roof provides 24hr access and the ability to cycle to the top of the building to the elevated public square. 5. 6) A north-south band of services program along the eastern edge of the library that condenses and makes efficient the service and functioning of the library.

The studio strives to examine a transcendent architecture, engaging individual’s experience through simple materiality and passing light. The program of studio is to build well-crafted contemporary Buddhist temple located in Fort Tryon Park, New York. The language of colonnades was used in the place where the life and death, divinity and human, and sky and earth meets. The colonnades form the loop, thus they repeat endlessly. Passage of colonnades expands and becomes the field, and as one walks endless rows of colonnades and trees, he forgets outside world, and focus on inner self.
I was walking through mountain in a very cold winter snow day. My feet were frozen to the point that it was about to fallen off from my body. I could see my breath, thousands of ice particles floating in the air. I wanted to walk towards the sky until I see no more trees. I wanted to the reach the end, the top of mountain. I was walking for countless hours. Sun was trying to hide behind the trees, but I could see its trace in the sky. My body was keep moving, and two arms and legs are swinging back and forth. When snowflake from tree fallen in my cheek, I was awaken. I realize I forgot about my frozen feet. I forgot about my eager to reach the sky. I was just ordinary human being among these trees. And I realize I was with these trees and I became one of them. With other trees, I was touching the sky, holding endless globe of clouds and cosmos.

Plastic bottles are used to analyze structural integrity of its usage and purpose. Modules of bottles are used to compose envelope and layers of volume within. The structural modules becomes external element, which is comprised of an outer, a middle, and an inner diatoms. Which creates sectional condition within the evelope which can be varied.
TRANSITION PROCESS
Structural Analysis Plastic bottle has its own structural integrity. Plastic bottles are analyzed to study how substance is structurally supported including its handles.
Compound Objects Volumetric configurations are manipulated into new and unforseen models. Plastic bottles are used to create a composite object from booleaning and intersecting.
Compound Envelope From composite object , compound skin is created by wrapping, folding, and forming paper around the object.
Unrolled Surface (right) After assemblaging modules of plastic bottles, composite objects were created to a compound skin by wrapping, folding, and forming paper around the object, developing a 2D pattern.
STRUCTURAL MODULE

Crystal Inc, was the project from Surface, Screen & Structure, a digital fabrication course from GSAPP. We used crystal structure create modules of surface & structure system to anticipate and adapt to extrinsic variables such as light transmittance, wind, and the immediate surrounding urban condition. Adding a surface structure to existing New Inc Building next to New Museum, we also attempted surface as a brand identity to invigorate surrounding condition. The surface structure interact with users as platform, seating, and planting platform.

Given the restraints of modular design (dimensioning and transportation), we decided to embrace this fact and accentuate this aspect in the building form. The building’s u-shape creates a courtyard space looking towards the adjacent Gowanus Canal. On the exterior facing the street, the building takes on a uniformity through a curtain wall façade that aims to blend the transition between each module level. The double glazed glass façade maximizes sunlight exposure to each pod unit. In contrast, the form of the building changes greatly in the courtyard space. The building breaks down from a uniform mass and highlights each module unit. Smaller units are stacked on top of larger units continually towards the top to allow balcony spaces for the larger units. This jagged condition not only creates a duality in interior and exterior spaces, but it also creates different conditions of views for the occupants as well.

AMERICAN DYSTOPIA American Dystopia Abandoned Drosscape, United States 2011 Spring, Cornell University Critics, Yehre Suh, Jonathan Ochshorn
“ The American Dream” is a form of spectacle. Traditional, detached, single-family housing on a large private lot is the symbol of stability and indication of social status. This ideal becomes the product to sell and increasing demand in the housing market actively causes the sprawl.
The project contaminates the picturesque vision of suburbia by reorienting it into a metropolis. The suburban city evolves with the passage of time, both horizontally and vertically with a network of high-tech favelas without loosening the grasp on the “American Dream.”

Previously, city and suburbia were linked through commuters. However, working place has started to move towards suburbia, and the uncontrolled growth of suburbia has dissolved the link between city and suburbia. With today’s cities developing rapidly, people have flocked to suburbia from the center of the city, inadvertently creating slum-like, abandoned areas inbetween. Thus, this project aims to bring population back to the neglected inner suburb ring, to revibrate and densify the area, making it a link between the city and suburbia. The city and suburbia then coexist mutually.
Project aim to densify sprawled programs of six transect and provide alternative possible interactions by verticalize different programs categorized by living, leisure, and working. Six transect includes central business district urban core to rural preserve where house becomes less dense. Decentralized and sprawled contemprary suburbia cannot commute anywhere without car. By verticalize programs, everywhere becomes walkable distrance while people can still keep their ‘American Dream’ with individual green lots.
Philadeliphia was chosen as a experiment site. The lower western area of Philadelphia is industrial district where there is less residential area. The designated site includes a many abandoned areas. The vision of the Verticalized Suburban city is imposed on top of the existing site. This project also challenges the existing building typology where homogenious slabs with core discontinue the activities from the ground plane. Instead, the slab of buildings is interpreted in an alternative way by using a seemingly unhomogeneous pattern, which has the ability to control circulation of pedestrian, cars and carriers. The pattern starts from 15-minuite walking precint with a radius of 1500’. The slabs can be multipled both horizontally and vertically.
PRIMARY MODULE It has 1500’, a distance people find comfortable to walk. This module includes approximately 190 houses.
ONE UNIT Four primary modules complete one unit. One unit is surrounded by driveway and parking lot on the periphery. Shortcuts for pedestrians and logistics are placed in the middle the unit.
EXPANDABLE UNIT Units can be expanded both horizontally and vertically.

RESIDENT’S CIRCULATION Various sizes of approximately190 housing lots are located in this level, all within walking distance of 1500 feet.
To sum, there are three levels-living, resting, and working. Different programs and activities of each level are connected vertically, maximizing interaction among different levels.

INCREMENTAL MUMBAI Incremental Mumbai RTO+, Mumbai, India 2010 Fall, Cornell University Critic, Lily Chi Team member, Marcial Mora
India is the world’s second most populated city with approximately 18 million inhabitants. However, the number itself cannot describe India’s complex kinetic condition. There are the multiplicities of ethnicities, religions, cultures, and spaces that, compounded by economic/social segregation, create a seemingly incomprehensible landscape. The project aimed to understand the various housing typologies, live-work practices, spatial relationships and temporalities, and create urban framework that responds to Mumbai’s cultural congestions.
The project provides architecture as an armature where Mumbaikar can appropriate the space. In doing so, the project aims to answer an essential question: “How to apply architectural tools to non-architectural questions like poverty”
SITE VISIT-KOLIWADA, MUMBAI (FISHERMEN’S VILLAGE) To understand the kinetic landscape of Mumbai, I visited Koliwada, a fisherman’s village, with a group of other students and professors. The village was established before the British took possession, and maintains a similar landscape as Dharavi. It has evolved and developed over 450 years. On a tangible level, we tried to understand the interesting dynamics of streets (lanes, alleys), light penetration, and culturally, we tried to comprehend their communal interactions and how they influence street and housing culture that serve as a flexible, dynamic place for private life and work.

The site, the immediate context where we are to define our project is a flat plot of trapezoidal geometry defined in each border by soft (light construction) one floor buildings which house the program for the RTO offices. The rest of the space is parking area for the vehicles waiting to be inspected.
The site is an island. The urban location, the surrounding plots and their uses, and the existing street system have made vsure that this particular plot keeps isolated from the exuisting urban fabric. There are four existing conditions that inform and define the character of the site today: 1. S lums and Low income housing on the south-east edge. 2. T he Wellingdon Golf Club on the north edge. 3. High Income housing on the west edge. 4. The RTO program on the current site. Mumbai transportation diagram

Stitching open Spaces
The need for open spaces has become a necessity for Mumbaikars. The proposal creates four bands of open spaces with different proportions and programs.
Weaving streets
Two Streets, one vehicular and one pedestrian will define the main circulations into and out of the site, bringing with it the livelihood of the slum streets into the proposal.
In order to pay for the site, and to maintain the network of opportunities offered by the city and strengthen the family economy, enough density should be achieved, 0.05 persons per sq/ft. A space allows communal interaction in order for fragile social conditions and relations to grow, and the building must provide framework for the supporting condition to facilitate the expansion process for the self-built part of each house.
Weaving Lanes
Lanes(about 9feet wide) connet the urban network of streets with each other within a slum.
Weaving Alleys
Alleys (about 4 feet wide) is the most intimate of the street system and mark the thresholds between the city’s urban condition and the slum’s medieval condition.
Knotting Incremental Housing
It gives a space that allow communal interaction in order for fragile social conditions and relations to grow. This has proven of being a key issue in the economical take off of a poor family in previous developments.

STREET MUSESUM Street Museum Williamsburg, New York, United States 2008 Fall, Cornell University Critic, Michael Silver
Williamsburg is filled with young spirits and their free minds. Thus architectural intervention should provide the space where their spirit can be exposed, not to be obstructed.
The building is the extension of street. The building becomes temporary containment of movement from the street, road, and excessive grid of Manhattan. The street wraps around various types of program volumes, and programs are organized to create dynamic space where juxtaposition of programs creates impromptu exhibitions or theatrical events, cross fertilization of ideas, and serendipities. Mixture of programs creates highly diversified experience for visitors.

Compared to Manhattan, there aren’t many museums in Brooklyn, although Brooklyn is home to many artist communities. Thus, the project suggests that the museum be located in a waterfront site where artists can have open exhibitions. It will function as an artist studio and a gallery-museum at the same time. Also, since Bedford Avenue has very active street culture, the project aims to extend the street culture of Bedford avenue into the site, forming the ramp to naturally invite people into the building.

Art cannot exist by itself. It needs to be linked with viewers. In today’s art market, artists often sell their work through galleries or auction, but many have limited opportunities to showcase their work. By using their studio not only as place to work but also as place to showcase their work, artists can use their studio to interact with viewers more freely.

GYMNASIUM After developing the site strategy, each member of team designed various buildings for campus. I mainly developed the gymnasium, with two objectives in mind: the facade facing inside should give a sense of dynamic campus, whereas the facade facing outside should give a welcoming image to the citizens of Lingang New City, and the volume is clearly divided into four parts to serve its main purpose as basketball, badminton, handball, and tennis court.

ULAANBAATAR NEW CITY HALL Ulaanbaatar New City Hall Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Summer-Fall 2014 SAMOO Architects and Engineers, Junior Architect Responsible for concept design phase, schematic design phase, and design development phase. Assisting the project architect with construction documents and details. Creating prototype study models for elevation. Coordinating with environmental design agencies. Involved with Concept Development, Making Models, Drawing Construction Document for Schematic Design+Design Development, Cross-Checking Drawing Sets with Sub-Contractors
The city of Ulaanbaatar plans to move its city hall to the periphery where the city plans to further develop a new town. The new city hall consists of offices, conference hall, city congress, and citizen service center. The eyeshaped city hall symbolizes the government’s role as a vigilant guardian of the city.
The project proceeded from Concept Design to Schematic Design, to Design Development, and produced a comprehensive set of documents for cost speculation in collaboration with Civil, Electrical, Fire Protection, and Landscape offices. Team from Samoo drew a comprehensive architectural document in Design Development Phase. I was mainly involved with 1) developing elevations through producing various alternative models, 2) drawing plans, sections, elevations, and part of sectional and elevation details.
Initial Mass Studies
Molgolia is very low in temperature, which goes down to negative 25 celsius degree in winter. Thus, the building should be designed to use energy effectively by using natural source such as sun light, and determine appropriate usage of facade material.

Schwabisch Hall Schwabisch Hall, Germany 2012 Spring Mawan Architects and Urbanists, Internship Responsible for concept diagram phase. Prepared presentation material (diagrams, plans, sections, and elevations, collaborative sketches and collages)
Ground Level Plan
Located between the Schwabisch Hall center and Hessental/ Dachswald, the site has significant characteristics that set the basis for future development. Currently filled with few recognizable postindustrial buildings and various low quality additions that served old industry, what is needed in the site is a high quality public space that will bind the buildings together and invite diverse users to work here and spend free time. It is necessary to create a strong visual link to the Kurz Strasse, which will bring most of visitors,. Various commercial, cultural, and art programs frame and fill the space to encourage its liveliness.

De Spoelberchplein is the realization scheme of Maxwan’s masterplan of MachelenDiegem. The square locates in the house area, where it should function as an amenity core of the neighborhood as well as a casual roundabout. For a pleasant atmosphere, this neighborhood square provides unified green park with a shared space of grainy red bricks. De
The square avoids separation between narrow pedestrian wals and asphalt car lanes. Instead, it aims for generous paths that run in a cozy park.

EXHIBITION
EMERGENCE Gana Art Space, Seoul, Korea Collaborative Exhibition with Tae Yeon Kim (artist), Moonki Go (urban Planner), and Si Hyung Kim (architect) 2014 July 23 – July 29
Emergence is a term used in science, art, philosophy, and complex theory, where a large collective behavior or system arises from smaller, simpler entities. Emergence is also associated with a system to generate seemingly chaotic patterns that in fact have selfgenerated and organizational system. The exhibition Emergence is a collaborative exhibition held by Artists, Architects, and Urban Planners, to develope their own idea of Emergence through painting, urban topography, and biological morphology.
My idea of Emergence was inspired by the idea of cell. If a cell is the smallest unit in Biology, a house would be smallest unit in Architecture. Thus, I regarded a house as a living unit, the cell, and imagine them going on a journey throughout major cities of the world -- NewYork, Shanghai, Rio De Janeiro, and Seoul. Houses congregate, extend with their own self-organizing and bio-morphological system, and clash, interact, and mingle with the formal, rigid city.
