01 FurnaScenery Creating Scenery of Furnace in Seong-su Year : 2020 Location : Seongsu-dong, Seoul, Korea Type : Urban Regeneration Instructor : Dongwoo Yim Category : Academic Project Role : Individual Work

Seongsu-dong is defined as a place of various industrial landscapes and inspires people. The industry in Seongsu-dong is based on metal, such as machinery, metal, and automobiles. However, metal is not subordinated to Seongsu-dong, but is leaked to the outside and reproduced. The outflow to the outside means the absence of a metal circulation ring within Seongsu-dong. This implies that the industry in Seongsu-dong can be destroyed by capital and causes loss of placeability.

SCENERY Scenery is what defines the sense of placeness. It is what attracts and inspires people. When given to architecture, it gathers people and may evoke social interaction.

PLACEABILITY OF SEONGSU-DONG Seongsu-dong is defined as a place of various industrial landscapes and inspires people. The industry in Seongsu-dong is based on metal, such as machinery, metal, and automobiles. However, metal is not subordinated to Seongsu-dong, but is leaked to the outside and reproduced. The outflow to the outside means the absence of a metal circulation ring within Seongsu-dong. This implies that the industry in Seongsu-dong can be destroyed by capital and causes loss of placeability.

SMELTING PLANT IN URBAN CONDITION If the smelting plant, known as the existing giant facility, is fragmented and distributed throughout the city, it will maximize the advantages of the region. Among them, I propose a program that combines a junk shop and an urban smelter responsible for collecting scrap metal. Urban smelters are available in relatively small spaces using electric furnaces, which are expected to form a cycle of industrial ecosystems through the smelting process, which is expected to strengthen the location characteristics of the industrial zone in Seongsu-dong. The scenery created by the smelting plant in the city will inspire many people. I would like to propose artist residency for creators who need inspiration in particular. In addition, we propose a spa as a program that can maximize the landscape and utilize heat.

FURNACE In this project, we fragmented steel mills/drills that exist on urban scale such as Pohang, and thought about whether they were related to cities and people, not just industrial facilities, and we want to approach them as a new landscape. Thus, the scene was extracted from the metal melting process and the space was formed based on it.

02 SOCIALIZING OBLIQUE Reorganizing Elementary School with Oblique Year : 2019 Location : Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea Type : Building Renovation Instructor : Wonshok Lee, Jong Hwan Ahn Category : Academic Project Role : Individual Work

When asked, WHAT SHOULD THE FUTURE SCHOOL BE LIKE? I would like to find the answer to the question with another question, WHAT CHANGES, AND WHAT DOESN'T? Schools have two main functions. It is a function of EDUCATION and SOCIALIZING. In terms of education, with the development of technology, learning is evolving in a way that is not limited to space according to the level of individual students. Therefore, the education system of the past has changed steadily and is expected to change in the future. In terms of socializing, relationships in schools affect children until their adulthood. In particular, the importance of elementary schools where personality is formed is clear. It is evident that the school is the basis of relationship formation and the roll will remain unchanged in the future. In terms of EDUCATION and SOCIALIZING in the future, I arrived in the conclusion that schools should serve as a venue for students to form their personality and expand social relationships.

OBLIQUE Oblique is an active geometry. When given to a platform, it creates directionality to a certain direction. When given to a plaza, it constrains people from gathering and directs people to face same direction.

Due to the empty slab of t h e ex i st i n g a u d i to r i u m , we propose it as a vertical garden, leaving two-story walls. The existing windows are blocked with bricks, making it clear to see the contrast from the inside. From the outside, this shows the existing window position as the time difference between bricks.

It is expect to play a role as a facilitator to expand the scope of human relations and further promote socialization.

SITE The site faces Samil-daero, which forms the historical axis of modern Seoul. Kyodong Elementary School is the first elementary school in Korea and has shared its history since Joseon. This project is accompanied by the question of where the building with history should remain in the future. I would like to answer the question with the city element, PLAZA. The plaza proposed here is not a fierce plaza such as Gwanghwamun and City Hall, but a plaza where you can view the active city comfortably, with its historically fierce axis next to it. This gives sedentary personality through an OBLIQUE platform, and the vibrant program of ELEMENTARY SCHOOL strengthens it. Therefore, this project explores the possibility of how elementary school can trigger positiveness into the city.

The librar y is a medium that connects citizens and students. Students' libraries and citizen's libraries are divided into wooden, c a s c a d e d l i b ra r i e s . T h e lower part is a student and the upper part is a citizen. This cascaded library will contribute to the socialization of students.

The POCKET GARDEN in OBLIQUE PLAZA provides three shelters for urban residents. It provides shade through a suitable height of chin and wood to sit on. Furthermore, it becomes a place where people want to stay more through connecting with a cafe.

Workspaces are located adjacent to the sports court, and folding doors ensure openness and connectivity to the outside. Accordingly, students can watch and support the sports games in the workspace.

COMMUNITY GARDEN : C o m m u n i t y p ro g r a m s associated with the alley is actively accessible to the garden. Deck of the music class is expanded and podium role, with an impromptu performance events such as the terrace of cafe can be done, and extended in the yard.

CAFÉ: Café provides elderly people with opportunities for re-employment. This contributes to the revitalization of the local e c o n o my a s p a r t of t h e community project. While local communities can also be perceived as PUBLIC by classification, generally PUBLIC and local communities have distinctly different characteristics, so oblique plaza for PUBLIC and community garden for local communities are clearly separated. However, CAFÉ plays a programming role at the border that connects the square and the garden visually.

OBLIQUE PLAZA: OBLIQUE PLAZA has the title of 'the oldest elementary school' on the historic axis of Samildaero, and serves as a part of the school that shared its history. Furthermore, it is expected that the school will be able to create a playful scene in the city.

Schools are places for social development, suggesting how to expand social skills. I concluded that the spatial units divided by spatial awareness are directly related to the units of society. Human beings can socialize in large groups by increasing their abilities as they go through the socialization process at school and continue through the school year after year after year. In conclusion, in this project, we would like to propose the formation of a social unit and the expansion of space by grade. We divided students into Primary, Junior, Senior grade.

Primary Grade Socialization skills are the most immature. Accordingly, we want to focus on stability/comfort rather than diversity/expansion of space. Therefore, each lower-grade class is assigned one unit of external space. It is like a GARDEN for small-scale hands-on activities that can be done under the guidance of teachers. Junior Grade Socialization skills have improved compared to lower grades. Therefore, there is a need for social unit of society. Therefore, middle-grade classes propose spaces such as a SPORTS FIELD that can be used jointly by one grade and collaborated. This is because it is a time when students are growing up and playing actively and to form a social unit between grades. Senior Grade Most advanced stage of the three units. This requires expansion outward the school. Therefore, I propose a connection with a reading garden to relate to the reflection space and community, such as COURTYARD. This expands socialization skills of students and gives various opportunities for selfreflection.

SCHOOL Primary - Junior - Senior CLASSROOMS As they become senior grade, they become more intimate to citizens.

COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER Students and local community shares the classroom of Learning Center.

GYM & LIBRARY Gym and Library acts as a local community facility which links school with citizens.

PUBLIC CAFE Cafe is run by the local community and expected to react to the plaza. It links local community to citizens.

PLAZA Plaza is one of the e l e m e nt of t h e c i t y. It represents the publicity as a school.

03 Cargo Terminal Parasiting Wonhyo Bridge Entry - JUNGLIM Architecture Awards for Students 2020 Year : 2020 Location : Wonhyo Bridge, Seoul, Korea Type : Urban Design Jury : Minsuk Cho, Changmo Ahn Category : Design Competition Role : Architecture Design, Visual Production -Team of 2

When cargo ships and passenger ships are approachable in Han River, the best place for a terminal and logistics center is on the bridge, due to its condition as a transportation node of Seoul. Moreover, Wonhyo Bridge is the right option for the terminal among other bridges due to its position with the downtown of Seoul and accessibility of ships in Han River. Thus, we propose a new terminal and logistics center parasitic to Wonhyo Bridge, expanding the transportation and pedestrian connection of the bridge.

SHIPMENT METROPOLITAN BASE CENTRAL/LOCAL BASE

SCENARIO Currently, South and North Korea are divided in water by the NLL. However, when the era of peace and cooperation arrives, it will be possible to open and utilize the joint waters. Therefore, it is expected that logistics and passengers traveling through the West Sea will be able to travel to the Yeseong River (North Korea) and the Han River (South Korea), respectively. It is expected that new infrastructure (e.g. ports, warehouses, etc.) will be needed to accommodate these changes. It is expected that the metropolitan base in Ganghwa-gun and Gimpo-si will be needed along the Han River in downtown Seoul.

HAN RIVER IN SEOUL In Seoul, the Han River divides Seoul into north and south across the center. As Seoul changed, attempts to connect the north and south of the river to view Seoul as one continued, and as a result, bridges across the Han River have become important and are now a key factor in forming the road in Seoul.

The most important factor in determining the location of ports of Seoul is the connectivity of the target area. In the past, port cities, which grew together as elements of civilization development, played a role as ports, even if the city developed through ports and lacked consideration for connectivity in selecting target sites. However, as the capital of the Republic of Korea, connection with other cities in Korea and the establishment of a network within Seoul has been secured. Therefore, it is expected that the utilization of the infrastructure will be maximized in determining the location of the port in Seoul.

Mapo Bridge

WONHYO BRIDGE Wonhyo Bridge

Yongsan Station, located north of Wonhyo Bridge, can be used to move logistics, and various floating populations are expected to increase in the site due to the Yongsan International Business District Unit Plan. In addition, Yeouido Han River Gong in the south is currently the most actively used Han River Park, and has a large floating population due to festivals and various leisure activities. NORTHERN PARK

POTENTIAL OF THE LOCATION

PROBLEM - SOLUTION Currently, Wonhyo Bridge is used mainly as a passage of vehicles. This means that pedestrians are in a very inappropriate environment to cross the river through the Bridge.

TE o y nh Wo

1. Wonhyo Bridge should create a pedestrian environment for pedestrians using passenger terminals, which implies a connection between the existing city/park and the bridge. 2. The Wonhyo Bridge shall create a space for vehicles and public transportation (bus) to stay in passenger/logistics terminals and ancillary facilities, not just for the purpose of passing the vehicle. 3. Space should be provided for cargo vehicles in consideration of existing general vehicles and pedestrians as well as the logistics terminals below.

PARASITE Parasite is a plant or animal that lives on or in another and gets food from it. When given to infrastructure, architecture becomes parasitic to the infrastructure. Architecture takes advantage of the location condition of the infrastructure and excavates new possibility of programs.

Ports (new function) add new users, such as logistics / passengers / pedestrians, creating an environment tailored to each user.

NEW ENVIRONMENT ACCORDING TO USAGE

PARASITE OF PROGRAM

Creating and improving the environment tailored to users by creating single-lane/lane separation/stop and parking spaces.

Programs to accommodate/support the increased number of users are parasitic on the existing bridge. ex. Passenger terminal / logistics company / commercial facilities and rest areas, etc.

CARGO SHIP

â&#x2020;&#x201D; STORAGE RAIL

The cargo ship will be loading/unloading the logistics (container box) from the lower part of the bridge. The loading/unloading is achieved through a parasitic rail at the bottom of the bridge. Rail can perform as a storage, the largest part of logistics, while replacing the crane used to move logistics from the port responsible for existing logistics. 2 spots for cargo ships to stop, load/unload. Capacity of the storage : 83 TEUs.

Various events / outdoor activities programs will be expanded in conjunction with the existing active Yeouido Hangang Park.

SHIP DOCK The platform, which allows passengers to get on and off, is located at 14 m below the terminal, the top of the Bridge. It is parasiting the existing pillar of Wonhyo Bridge. 2 ships can be docked on both sides of the dock surrounding the pillars. Pedestrians can access the waiting room from the dock through the stairs/elevator. There are 3 docks, the center, the North and the South. Each dock can accept 2 ships with less than 500 people on board.

CARGO TRUCK

â&#x2020;&#x201D; STORAGE RAIL

CONNECTION TO THE CITY / ACCESIBILITY

Cargo trucks can access through ramps to the platform 7m below the bridge, where containers are loaded/unloaded. When the cargo ship reaches the bridge, the storage is stored through the IoT, which makes transportation more efficient by placing logistics in consideration of the arrival time/ place of trucks. The location of the platform for truck is determined considering its destination, which is reflected in the logistics storage system.

REST & STAY GALLERY PARK

It physically solves the problem of lack of accessibility between the city and Han River Park. It also improves the walking environment and provides public space.

04 STATION OF SEOUL PLATFORM Underground Developement of Old Seoul Station 3rd Prize - GROUNDSCAPE Design Competition 2nd Edition Year : 2019 Location : Seoul, Korea Type : Underground Development Jury : Dominique Perrault, Juan Fernรกndez Andrino, Ignacio Ferrer Rizzo, Richard Nguyen Category : Design Competition Role : Individual Work

The memory of the citizens is piled up at Seoul Station, but with the decline of the railroads, the main functions of Seoul Station are dispersed, and the station has been transformed into an island among the downtown area. Through GROUNDSCAPE, the station becomes a new platform for citizens and transportations by interlocking the existing facilities underground.

GROUNDSCAPE Groundscape expands underground and creates new landscape. It opens the surface of the existing ground maximizing usable surface. Expanded surface densifies the urban condition. When given to a historical heritage, it preserves the heritage and modernize through underground development evoking the use of ground level as a cultural platform.

BUS PLATFORM CONNECTION TO SEOUL-RO 7017

SUBWAY PLATFORM PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE COMMERCIAL PLATFORM

The Old Seoul Station is a modern building built in 1908 during the Japanese colonial period and was the transportation hub of Seoul in the 20th century. Relative to other cultural heritages in Seoul, modern cultural heritage (including Old Seoul Station) is undervalued. However, Seoul Station, which was actively used in the past, remains in the memories of many people and was built in neo-Renaissance style which is deformed but it is a building that shows the times at that time, so there is a need for preservation. Recently, some of the original form of the building has been restored and permanent exhibition about the station and temporary exhibitions are held in the Old Seoul Station with the name of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Culture Station Seoul 284â&#x20AC;?. And it is expected to expand its function as the archive museum of Korean modern architecture. Currently, there are transportation facilities (bus transfer center, train station, underground subway station line no.1/4/GJ/ Airport Railroad), commercial facilities (Lotte Mall) and cultural facilities (cultural station Seoul 284, Seoulro 7017) around Seoul Station, but they work separately and are isolated spatially. Although the possibility of pedestrian influx has increased recently as Seoulro7017 has been constructed, there is no significant change in the influx of pedestrians to other facilities due to the degeneration of Seoul Station Plaza. GROUNDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE does not affect the appearance and landscape of existing buildings, so it can preserve modern heritage and can also be used as a plaza above the ground. It can be an alternative to future architecture of Seoul, which is now at the peak of high density. Therefore, GROUNDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE is built in the Seoul Station Plaza and its surroundings to activate the plaza and promote the movement of pedestrians between facilities. There are a variety of platforms in the GROUNDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, with each platform connected to transportation, commercial, and cultural facilities. Therefore, each facility expands the program through the platform and the platform is connected through the GROUNDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE. There are 2 main voids on the Station Plaza. One is the bus transfer center, and the other is pedestrian entrance. This is a GROUNDSCAPE strategy that directly connects the ground (plaza) and underground (platforms).

05 TIME FRAME Architecture Adapting to the Needs of Time Winner - The Architecture of Time Competition by Unfuse Year : 2020 Location : Mérida, Yucatan, Mexico Type : Cultural Architecture Jury : Chad Oppenheim, Pedro Ramírez de Aguilar, Pablo Pérez Palacios Category : Design Competition Role : Architecture Design, Visual Production -Team of 2

Before our design process, we thought about elements that doesn’t change in architecture over time. We found two things. The first is the act of gathering as human beings. Since ancient times, the main factor for human civilization was socialization, which humans have taken as a survival strategy. Human beings have consistently retained their desire for socialization and emerged as a physical fabric of gathering space in architecture. In order for human civilization to continue, the desire for socialization is inevitable, which results in architectural space. The second is the protected indoor space. Space has developed in the history of mankind with the concept of RESIDENCE protected from external threats. We do not think this will change in the future because it is a fundamental human desire that is valid until today.

FRAME Frame is a structure that surrounds something. When given to architecture, it enables the space to take advantage of versatility. When combined with grid elements, it promotes possibility of evolution of architecture through time.

The building was intended to contain concepts that could exist universally and flexibly over time, encompassing this timelessness of architecture. First of all, space was divided into underground and on-ground. The ground is an ever-changing space where the flow of time is felt dramatically. The space on the ground is a very suitable space for it to accumulate the flow of time. It is also a space that can visually show the evolution of space. We planned an open space to capture this time on the ground. The open space was intended to maintain the FABRIC of the existing destination as much as possible. This is not to recycle existing buildings on the site. The FABRIC is part of the land of the site. Therefore, we want to accumulate the PRESENT that can be built in the future along with the existing FABRIC. The grid structure on the ground reflects the present and makes us possible to imagine various situations to be contained in this grid in the future.

UNDERGROUND AS SOCIAL GATHERING

Underground is a place where you can feel the sense of coziness. The space begins with a ramp on the main entrance. The underground space is COMPARTED and has been planned according to the size of the program. This is enough to accommodate programs demanded by society even as time changes. It also sought to respond to the human desire to gather by having a VOID and SOCIAL LOUNGE with open ceiling between compartmentalized spaces and to find the possibility of interaction between each ROOM.

TIME AS MATERIAL

The most important element of time is the present. Using time as a material in architecture means accumulating the present. We saw the presence of the site as the present of the site. Buildings and plants already exist in the site. Existing buildings contain traces of time and time of the land. We want to make full use of this existing situation. This is not to recycle existing buildings on the site. Recognize the walls of existing buildings as land, i.e. physical FABRIC, and respond to them. It is expected that the time represented by the materiality of cement bricks will be with the space to be built, thus promoting the accumulation of time. Thus, these materials were designed as attractive entrances to the underground.

JOINT SYSTEM 2 & TEMPORARY MEMBRANE Second type of the joint system is for stairs and fence. It is a bar-type joint. Stairs and fence are for the possibility of vertical expansion. There's height limit of 3m on the site. But there are possibility of vertical expansion as the law and society change. Temporary membrane is to make shade in the open space. It can be a substitute for tree shades. It can be easily taken apart.

The design of the open grid is complete. The green area is not yet complete and is completely open.

This is a scene where space sections appear on the ground according to the needs of the program. It can be used freely after setting up the program with variable characteristics.

After a few decades there may be a possibility or demand for vertical expansion. Therefore, the grid can be piled up even more if necessary, and the space composition can be seen more freely.
