Since the revival of its ancient form in 1892, the Olympic Games has established itself as a major athletic festival of the world. Precisely through this biennial event, the collective conscious of a globalized world can engage in varied competitions where the best athletes compete for the ultimate glory, while promoting inclusive values of unity, pride, effort, achievement, and peace. As the magnitude of the Olympics has expanded over time, so too has the criticality of the host city. While a significant part of its universal cultural force, the host city of this global event has become increasingly destabilized as the Games have become so overshadowed by financial burden and corruption. Many cities are left increasingly destabilized due to the massive economic costs of hosting an international event with such magnitude. We believe that the deliberation of such large quantities of money into the Olympics has diverted its purity. The authenticity of sportsmanship is transcended by a politically charged spectacle.

The objective of “The Olympic Odyssey� is to defer from continuing this economically and socially destructive history andNegtive reinforce the purity of sports that the Olympic Impact Estimated Budget Games symbolize. With a profoundly monumental form, the Olympic Odyssey provides Real Budget the necessary collection of archetypes, Magnitude such as: stadium, tracks, pools, and fields. To escape the political territoriality of land, we seek a paradise in the unclaimed territory on the international waters of the temperate zones. The zones lie between the tropics and Polar Regions, making it an exceptional place with a large variety of temperatures throughout the year. The ideal temperatures compared to other geographical zones in the world, allow the Olympic Odyssey to host and implement the necessary spatial technologies for both the summer and Winter Olympics games, so as provide a unified and iconic space with the flexibility necessary for future games. Access to the Olympic Odyssey is primarily for competitors and staff to ensure fairness without interruption. Smart technology will provide the public with an autonomous form of inclusive and three-dimensional access. Through Virtual Technology people will have access at their homes and to the sports of their interest while also enjoying a family gathering. Close Interaction through Virtual Reality will create a different way of living the Olympic Games. The Olympic Odyssey reflects the history, human diligence, and sportsmanship. It avoids disruptive elements that diverge the purpose of the Olympics. It gathers the world together to construct and participate in the ultimate Olympic Dream. Suk Lee

BEYOND THE GRID + HOK Members Beyond the Centerline Competition_Under Examination Spring 2018
A microcosm of New York City, Park Avenue transformed from the mosaic of forests and grasslands of a Mannahatta village to the orthogonal landscape of bedrock-rooted commercial buildings today. We invite pedestrians to experience the past, enjoy the present and envision the future of the ever-changing Avenue as they walk north. The vertically undulating pathway dives below and soars above the median, and the pedestrian forgets the surrounds of speeding traffic as they experience centuries of time and space while moving at their own pace from midtown to central park. Starting in the past (Figure 2), they will peel back the layers of history, exposing the soil and grid that underlays the natural and human-made systems upon which the city organizes itself. Architectural vernacular reveals itself in the fire staircases of SoHo and arched windows of brownstones. This initial segment of the path will invite lunch-breakers underground tolounge on a three-dimensional grid planted with the original flora of the island. Reconnecting the sub-terrain to the avenue median reminds today’s pedestrians of Park Avenue’s original street-level apertures allowing steam from the trains running below to escape through the street above. The walls mimic the underlying serpentine bedrock to which the city’s skyscrapers owe their stature. This underground thoroughfare expands beneath the street to the width of the original pre-1920’s pedestrian medians, before the growing demands of traffic drove the construction of two additional lanes above ground. As passers-by continue their journey north, the path sweeps them upwards into an elastic and interactive space from which to observe the bustle of Park Avenue as if from a cloud (Figure 3). The buoyant paths inspire pedestrians to escape habitual motions and reclaim their potential to shape the present moment. Below the temporarily suspended travelers, the foliage of native switchgrass and fragrant sumac bursts through rhythmic grid squares on the median, evoking a birds-eye view of our city of islands.

2018
As the pedestrian wanders from the floating interstitial zone of the present, the raised median carries them over the intersection of 53rd Street, where they can don a pair of AR goggles to interactively design what the future holds for Park Avenue (Figure 4). As they step over and around the virtual vehicles, structures, flora and fauna placed by previous pedestrians only visible through their goggles, they can draw on, push and pull the Park Avenue landscape that surrounds the glazed observation deck. The creations are, however, ephemeral. As the futuristic visions created over an hour ago start to fade, the pedestrian is encouraged to start afresh, superimposing new ideas on the Park Avenue skyline. The glassy elevated walkway dips below ground as the avenue nears central park. As the traveler re-enters the present day, they look forward to their next trip down the centerline, as it will never look the same twice.

Resting in the periphery of San Francisco’s consciousness, Hunter’s Point carries a lifetime of subjugation. Despite its historic position as the industrial backbone of the city, the site has consistently served as a locus for experiments in desire. Initially family owned farmland, Hunter’s Point has been home to a number of industrial programs, including: agriculture, meat production, shipbuilding and shipping docks, naval base, radiological testing facilities and power plants. Private corporation Lennar Inc. is currently building new homes on Hunter’s Point as part of a $2 billion redevelopment plan (hoping to reach their 2020 completion date), despite it’s status as a EPA Superfund site, which requires federal oversight for the removal of hazardous waste. Regardless of the use of space, each subsequent and future development can be seen as a manifestation of desire resulting in the creation of transient spaces and massive quantities of waste. As the power relations of territory and space manifest in the perpetual re/development of Hunter’s Point, it becomes evident that contradiction is implicit to spaces constructed by desire. The desire to build, to own, to profit off of a designated space - in this case, Hunter’s Point - is consequently met with the desires of those who are exploited for their labor, their homes, or their lives. We must face the exploitation and the class relations through which it functions: development is only a negative thing for those who are being taken advantage of. The exploitation of the land continually benefits the same people; the elite are always in control. It appears that the desire to create, to build, to manipulate space for profit has at the same time caused massive detriment to the environment and dismantled pre-existing built communities. In the discussion of territoriality and development, we begin to question the agency of the architect. By looking at Hunter’s Point as a moment through which social and cultural inequalities have manifest in this hulking mass of waste, we bring forth a discussion in which architects too often fail to take part. One experiences this object as a spectator, infinitesimal in the face of such expansive space and history. Upon entering the sphere, one is engulfed by the gigantic nature of the space, which not only functions for the respective programs, but embodies the scale of desire and history of development and exploitation on Hunter’s Point. This form is not from our minds, nor our desires, but has been hiding, amassing in the murky depths of the site. Growing, shifting, bulging, slowly over time, the form is the accumulation of past, present, and future desires. We seek to incise into this profane array, carefully sculpting spaces and placing objects of fascination to bring the masses into direct contact with the cultural presence of this behemoth. Suk Lee

Figure 1-2. Step One: Hunter’s Point Analysis
Visiting San Francisco made us reconsider everything; our process since returning has been rooted in coming to terms with what we saw and experienced during our brief visit. Overtly obvious is income disparity, with the rich of the tech generation living in the same space as the homeless and the drug users. This disparity is also manifested through space. While downtown San Francisco and the wealthy neighborhoods hoard wealth, Hunter’s Point remains all but forgotten. Marked by decrepit buildings, industrial facilities, and large fenced off areas, Hunter’s Point asks to been seen, to be experienced.

Figure 2. Step two: Array of Objects
Through the very nature of architecture, we play god, manipulating and designing spaces as we please. While total control is appealing, we must recognize that by approaching a project with a subconscious, predetermined idea of what the end result should be greatly limits our ability to investigate and explore a given topic. Through the array of miniature models, we attempted to exhaust a set of outcomes of our own individual desires, embracing the surreal and the instinctual. The process of making-then-reflecting has allowed us to question our internal desires, the desires present in the history of Hunter’s Point as well as those of the institution of architecture. The array itself holds more potency than the sum of the individual parts, just as the history of any location - in this case, Hunter’s Point - holds more power in its totality than in aggregation of its events.

Figure 3. Step three: Space Configuration
Our investigation/exploration has lead us to innumerable discoveries about the process in which we make, our site and the role of architecture. The space that has been designed is not a solution, but a incision into understanding the magnitude of the site. It reflects on the past of site, warning of the imminent future, and acts as a buffer. Architecture is too often disguised as a solution to a problem, an intervention in a singular time or space of crisis. Hunter’s Point doesn’t need salvation. It needs to be known, it needs to be seen.

Figure 4. Step four: Development of Spherical Space
The spaces we chose to represent within the behemoth are historically based programs, including: agriculture, meat production, shipbuilding and shipping docks, naval base, radiological testing facilities, waste treatment facilities and power plants. While each space exists as a singular object, the scale and power of our investigation is held in array of spaces. The representation of the hulking mass - with its colors and forms in their evocative yet seemingly harmless nature - mimics the seductive rhetoric common in the language of developers and gentrification. The passive, fantastic color palette and the grim history of the site evokes Hunter’s Point’s deep history of contradiction and desire.

ECO SEE - SAW BRIDGE Archfolio Internship Project Yangjaegogae Eco Bridge Design Competition Summer 2017
The Seoul Metroplolitan Government is planning projects such as the Seoul Trails and a connection of park green spaces through a basic plan of a wide-area quantitative and qualitative expansion of park green spaces. This will increase citizen’s access to green areas and enhance the iversity of isolated insects, wild birds and wildlife. The yangjaegogae Eco Bridge site was disconnected from the green network due to the construction of the Gyeongbu Expressway. Mt. Umyeon Urban Nature Park and Maljukgeori Park have become separate areas and cannot be moved. The proposal, Eco See-Saw eco bridge, is not only to provide a roaming route for wild animals through the Eco Bridge, but also to furnish a living space for various creatures and create convenience for citizens with a connecting walking pass that blends in with the surrounding environment. This twisted bridge from geometry and slopes invites people and nature at different ground levels by natural continuity of the past contour from the two mounts. The form creates a buffer for auto-light and noise to provide the networks. This eco bridge will slowly recover the ruined ecology through the controlled succssion of many years. The pedestrians and nature will experience a change and the revival of Umyeon Mountain as seasonal changes.

COLLECTING, GATHERING, PRESERVING Iowa State University_Arch 401 Rwanda Studio_Marwan Ghandour Fall 2016
Kigali City has very interesting development process that unplanned settlement and planned developments are located within same cities and neighbors. However, it is critical fact that a lack of infrastructure especially water is a huge problem in unplanned housings and the people. In unplanned settlement area, rainwater is mixed to the streat water and household greywater. They flow into wetland directly, which means people who live in unplanned settlements are exposed to unhealthy water in their vicinity. Also, during dry seasons, water is a rare source especially for people in unplanned neighbors. ‘Collecting, Gathering, Preserving’ is a water infrastructure project that suggests a key solution of the water treatment that provides cleaner water, its accessibility and the water shortage in dry seasons. The six water stages will help to recycle water after natural purification system (dilution, aeration, soil filtration, animal and plants filtration, and then after use, the greywater will flow into Gravel water path and flow into the lake which also wil purify and store water for dry seasons.

VICE VERSA VILLA Archfolio Internship Project The Double Villa Competition Fall 2017
The Vice Versa Villa [VVV] is the duplex house which is inspired from Double Villa designed by the Alexander Thomson. The spatial organization of the VVV is basically transformed from Double Villa’s plan analysis to a reorganized program providing public and private, as well as service and served zones. In addition to the idea for multiplication of courtyards, the project shifts its visual focus to the inner yards. The VVV redefines the in-and-out space relationship, yet does not limit the physical boundaries in space. Rather, it provides a new possibility that represents a noticeable shift in design from the conventional living space. The VVV is an architectural transformation; it realigns two houses of the identical plan and projects the building into the landscape, which is reflected by an integral part of Thomson’s design in creating a performative space for semi-detached pair houses. The VVV has a clear material concept; local stone materials are used, such as sandstones. These stones harmonize with the façade of Glasgow’s stone built heritages. The façade of stone pillars’ enclosures are based on a 1 x 1 meter grid system, that provide both the functions of structure, as well as the contrasting rhythm of solid and void.

Courtyard Typology / Site Location Transform of courtyards based on client needs to make relationships with its neighbors - Alexander Thomson’s Building as well as urban context.
Figure 3. Site Plan
The site is located in the district of Pollokshields, Glasgow where it could adjacently be overlooked by Thomson’s and Thomson inspired buildings. It generates intriguing visual connectivity to its surroundings across and over the site. The VVV reveals different elevations depending on the viewpoint. The setbacks push the volumes inwards to create generous “inside-out curtain wall” terraces and forecourts offering different views of the city. The urban context of the project offers courtyard typology of living block, which left a significant mark in urban design history. The European style courtyard block provides a unique and sustainable living environment. It is a place where suburban life merges with dynamic activities, with housing and gardens co-existing. The VVV aimed to provide a re-formation of the original courtyard. Unlike how ‘private’ the courtyard used to be, the new design offers additional yard space that is less secluded than before. More areas are spread in the VVV, and this is also visible from outside public areas as well. 47
