Ground Floor Plan

The site of the project is located in Bun-dang, which is one of major satellite city of Seoul, the capital of South Korea. It is situated at the threshold between developed downtown area and relatively quiet residential area. The site is facing “Bun-dang Creek” on its south side and having “Nae-Jang” Mountain on the back. It is thus an ideal location based on traditional Feng shui. This is 2-story building utilizing hybridized structure system. The first floor consists of concrete structure so that they can obtain better water resistant capability. This is mainly driven by the geographical characteristics of South Korea where it has a fairly large precipitation during summer time. Also the “+”shape wood / steel column was invented during the design process. On the other hand, the major structural system of the 2nd floor is wooden structure, balloon framing system with a wood exterior cladding system. Tectonically, the unique feature of this house is a previously mentioned Wood/Steel Column. The “+”shape column consists of steel and wood members. By having steel members, it achieves its structural strength. By having wood infills between steel members, thermal performance of steel can be enhanced. Aesthetically it somehow echoes with Korean traditional “Han-Ok” framing system and gives an identity to each module of space.

THE SNAKE Design Proposal for the D-Stadium Revitalization - Undergraduate Thesis Work - Period : Senior, May-Oct 2006

How to create a new dialogue between 90 year-old stadium and the contemporary urbanscape? This project shares the site with The Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park(DDP), which is a large urban development project under construction in Dongdaemun, Seoul, South Korea. The new design by ZAHA HADID completely razed off the existing stadiums, whose lifetime spanned over 80 years with the history of Seoul itself. She carelessly designed without inviting any contextual values. This project was my undergrad thesis work, speculating urban issues regarding old Dongdaemun Stadiums. The focus of the project is less in the form of a final object than as a constructed script that is inserted into our densely packed urban environment while thinking about the way of re-embracing old abandoned facilities in the city. It will contain of a multi-use park, a fashion plaza, an underground mall, and a restoration of a number of items of national heritage. S K- E TCH B O O K

It was the home venue for the Korea Republic national football team from the 1950s to the late 1980s, though continued to be used into the 1990s until the last international match was played there, against Myanmar in 2000. The first ever game of the Korean baseball league was held at Dongdaemun Stadium in 1982.[citation needed] The first round of the K-League, the first professional soccer league in South Korea, was held at the athletics venue on May 8, 1983.

THE SNAKE : ABANDONNED STADIUM RENOVATION

The stadium was the location for mass celebrations of the end of Japanese colonial rule, as almost 250,000 citizens gathered at the venue on August 15, 1945, to celebrate the liberation. Additional construction was undertaken in 1962 to modernize the two existing venues as well as create a swimming pool, volleyball courts and soft clay tennis courts. Floodlights were added to the baseball venue in 1966 and the athletics venue in 1968 to allow for nighttime sporting events. The main athletics stadium remained the main center for sports events in Seoul until the Jamsil Sports Complex was built for the 1988 Olympic Games.

PRESERVATION OF FUTURE

- Design Competition Entry for “House Tomorrow Project” - Period : Jan 2012 - Proposal for Urban Housing

This site consists of two distinctively different Korean house typologies. The former is called “Do-si Han-Ok”, which is a modified/modernized Korean traditional single family house. It was a popular prototype in 1960s, which has a center courtyard. The latter is called “Uurip Joo-Taek”. This is a 5-story housing, which was driven by skyrocketing population in Seoul in 1980s. We thus can clearly witness the urban strata of Seoul in this block. In this respect, naturally I began to look into the pros and cons of those typologies to suggest a new housing typology that is more sustainable and suitable for the future urban context. The urban gesture of “Do-si Han-Ok” was a bit too excluded to its neighbors and had no sense of community. In addition, “Uurip Joo-Taek” was a simply stacked version of “Do-si Han-Ok”, which just multiplies the problems without any conscious effort to solve them.

CURRENT CONDITION

DAE-CHUNG (ELEVATED PROMENADE)

PROPOSAL

COURTYARD

On the other hand, there is one very interesting component of “Do-si Han-Ok”, which is an elevated outdoor deck shared by all family members. It is called “Dae-Chung”. “Dae-Chung” is elevated about 1.5 feet from the ground and completely open facing the courtyard. During the summer time it cools off the temperature of the house and serves as a micro community space for the family. It is so to speak “internalized patio space”. During winter time, it can be closed as an interior space and function as a living room while inviting abundant sunlight from the South.

PRESERVATION OF FUTURE

How do we translate and expand this concept to the current/future conditions. Extended version of ““Dae-Chung” was a major challenge of this project. As a result, this project manifests that we restore “Dae-Chung” and simply not only share it among family members but also share it with neighbors. The expanded “Dae-Chung” will provide a community space that enriches the entire housing complex. In this regards, restoring “Dae-Chung” naturally sets the vector of this project not to entirely raze off the 7 existing “Do-si Han-Ok” on the site. We thus started to connect the existing “Dae-Chung”. During this process the individual “Dae-Chung” began to form a large platform 1.5 feet above the ground.

S K- E TCH B O O K

PRESERVATION OF FUTURE

From macro perspective, this project tried to respect the existing urban fabric as much as possible. Especially embracing the existing houses and the scale of the surrounding alleys was a golden rule for this project. Consequently it was also an ideal method to avoid reckless mega block urban development, which I think it should not happen anymore in Seoul. In addition to that, as I previously mentioned, typologically the courtyard of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do-si Han-Okâ&#x20AC;? was too excluded for its urban context. So this project speaks about partially sharing the courtyards with public to make the complex more lively and enjoyable as a real community in this region.

PRESERVATION OF FUTURE

In order to meet the number of unit required by the competition while ensuring the courtyard and space for “DaeChung”, we decided to invent the studio unit complex for young professionals in Seoul. The massive influx of young professional population into Seoul is one of well-known social issues in Korea. The major problem is they are having hard time to find a place to live in Seoul because of a very high rent such as New York and San Francisco. So we propose a housing complex that is affordable to incoming young professionals in Seoul. Programmatically we propose shared programs : “Bath room” and “Dining / Kitchen”. And these shared programs will always directly attached to “Dae-Chung” to maximize the interactions of residents in the complex while defining a new community space. Under this agenda, there will be variations in unit type. The one only shares “Dining / Kitchen” program. The other shares “Bath room” as well as “Dining and Kitchen” program. By carefully curating these programmatic deficiencies, residents will dwell “together” with others in this complex.

EARTHQUAKE TIME SLICE - Academic work at University of Michigan - Period : Jan 2010 - Personal Research

Can architecture, as a built environment, respond to the constantly transforming nature? The magnitude 7.6 Chi-Chi Earthquake, and subsequent large aftershocks stunned all who live and work on the seismically-active island of Taiwan. Until now, the central and western parts were considered less vulnerable to damaging earthquakes than the eastern region. This is the most devastating earthquake in Taiwan. For those who were on site, it was “so-real”, while standing at the hair-split border line between life and death. For those who watched the event from the other side of the globe through the broadcasting, it was “surreal” and “fictional”. This film’s site is the timeline of the 921 Taiwan Earthquake, which was one of the most catastrophic earthquake throughout the history. By crosscutting the time line via frame by frame with “Construct and Deconstruct”, physical landscape manifests itself as a broadcasting and recording appratus, while bridging the gap between polarized realities.

EARTHQUAKE TIME SLICE

Earthquakes are the result of natural, tectonic changes in the solid crust of the earth and, as such, are not inherently catastrophic. Their bad reputation comes from the destruction to human settlements that accompanies them, when buildings collapse under the stress of forces produced by earthquakes. This destruction is not the „fault of earthquakes, but rather of the buildings, which, even in regions regularly visited by earthquakes, are not designed to work harmoniously with the violent forces periodically released. So buildings collapse, usually with considerable loss of life and injuries. The earthquakes are blamed, as though the purpose of these sublimely unselfconscious phenomena was to damage and destroy the human. “Earthquake Kills Thousands!” “Killer Quake Strikes!” “Earthquake Levels Town!” are typical aftermath headlines. What they should say is “Falling Buildings Kill Thousands!” “Killer Buildings Strike!” “Inadequately Designed Town Leveled!” Such headlines will not, of course, appear. If they did, architects, town-planners, engineers, and the entire army of professionals responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of the affected buildings would be called to account.

Is a land static dead object that we can always punctuate and utilize? Is land a solid or liquid, which slowly flows ? Did the earthquake kill 2,800 people and cause 10,700 injured people in Taiwan in 1999? Can architecture transform to an electronic signal and embody its presence to the other side of the globe? Can an earthquake in Taiwan generate the Landscape in Berlin ? This project is based on the assumption that we can differentiate the time with space so that we insert momentary architecture frame by frame as an apparatus to record and document natural events.

THE RESOLUTION OF THE LIGHT

How to sublimate heavily charged political issues into the making culture? During the 1989 Student Revolution in China, students used the KFC restaurant at the corner of Tiananmen Square as their primary gathering place. In the beginning of 2011, KFC was once again an epicenter for revolt during the political unrest in Cairo. KFC was commandeered by protesters and utilized as a makeshift internet broadcasting station, while connecting the physical platform of the protest with virtual open spaces such as Facebook,

Twitter and Youtube. In this context, this thesis begins to signify KFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-placeness and omnipresence as a protective membrane. The KFC thus becomes a geopolitical device allowing an uprising to be exported to a revolution, a hypothetical device connecting a physical space with digital space.

2nd dimension of the thesis investigates laser-cutting technique, which was personal on-going practice over 1year. Through these processes I have broken down the mechanics of a lasercutter into every single bit and tested the potential of a machine with many different materials. Eventually I could control the resulution of laser-light by adjusting several variables.

3rd dimension is about “Print Making”, making posters, which defined myself under the umbrella of this thesis as a performer. Also lasercutting technique that I developed, allowed me to resituate “print making”, a primary method to deliever socio-political ideas through propaganda posters back in 1930s-50s, within the contemporary graphic context.

SKY CITY 2110 - Instructor : Karl Daubman - 2010 Winter Graduate Work, Strength in Number Studio - Conjunction with the Digital Project Tutorial Class

This project is based on the assumption that rising sea levels threaten coastal cities around the world, and that the future of human habitation may well be to live on water. In this project, Cedar Island, a disappearing barrier island on the Eastern Shoreline of Virginia, becomes a test subject of the project. Current sea level rise is suggested to be due significantly to global warming, which will increase sea level over the coming century and longer periods. Increasing temperatures result in sea level rise by the thermal expansion of water and through the addition of water to the oceans from the melting of mountain glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets. At the end of the 20th century, thermal expansion and melting of land ice contributed roughly equally to sea level rise, while thermal expansion is expected to contribute more than half of the rise in the upcoming century.

This book making project was an attempt to find how to unify all the specific moments that I have found on the site into a monolithic story. It was also a major concern that the unification should be able to preserve the individualities of debris as a way to respect them. Therefore, a book making became the eventual solution. This book has two different narratives according to the two different orientations of reading. The orientations have an an orthogonal relationship to each other. First one can be read as a conventional book, which gives us information about segmented elements of the site including history of the site, existing industrial debris on the site and its images. And the other one can be read as a huge single panel, which is unfolded version of the book. When you unfold the book, you will see the unseen layers of the site, which is based on the imaginative restoration of the underground situation. Also you can see the full metaphor for relationships between industrial elements and nature on the site.

3 Personal Practice Physital ( Physical + Digital ) We are architecture people. We have always been producing, reproducing and rereproducing images to embody our conceptual work as a visible outcomes through both digitally and physically; intensely engaging our body and mind in our project. We constantly shift our work mode, changing media from our hands to computers, from a mouse to a pencil and from a blade to laser cutter. In this vein, consciously or unconsciously we always move back and forth along the border line between virtual and actual like we are constantly zooming in and zooming out in digital interface; like we see both a realistic picture in high resolution and a pixel of the picture in low resolution in Photoshop. Knowingly and unknowingly we always reveal the counterfeited reality while using Photoshop.

Today, it is a dominating trend that we tend to immense ourselves more and more into the digital interface to carry reality and actuality to our virtual imagination. Working mostly on an un-built plan, it seems inevitable for us to facilitate realness in our project through the digital reality while dreaming of the moment when our projects become realized in the material world. Mind, as a origin of our virtual images, is more and more becoming a part of a digital image world. Body, as a crucial performer for embodying conceptual ideas through the movement of it, is being more and more submerged into the virtual world.

Therefore â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physitalâ&#x20AC;? becomes a conscious attempt to harmoniously balance our mind and body; and the concrete and the imaginary. This technique is less about a mental projection of our aesthetic desire, but more about locating ourselves and our work within the contemporary context.

CASTING X CASTING On-going persnal research Material experiment

I was always interested in the relationship between the mold and the casted. Because the modality of operation naturally signifies the body of architecture. Also it opens many doors to explore the material experiments as a generative agency of the project. This is so to speak personal exploration through the act on the material itself. Through these onging research I might be able to better understand the materiality and the technology that supports it.

Dear friends and colleagues, I am pleased to share my work in Seoul this June. As part of a collective exhibition of my father's and brother's architectural drawings, this exhibition is titled '2G3D' (2 Generations, 3 Drawings), hosted by the University of Seoul. As you might expect, we all work in the same discipline and my brother and I were largely influenced by my father, who is an architect in Korea. We certainly owe a debt of gratitude for the knowledge and mode of drawing instilled upon us to our father. As we are emulating his drawings throughout our formative years as junior architects, this collaborative exhibition will benchmark the trajectory of our drawingoriented genes and portray how they have been branching out. Most of all, this exhibition has been made possible by Professor Chung Kee Lee's dedication, who curated and molded it from the empty pages of his sketchbook. I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity and am honored and humbled. Thank you for all those have supported us. Sunhyung Kim
