Born in Seoul (KR), and raised in Waterloo (CA), I was brought up through two distinct alleyways of life. These formative experiences now provide a diverse vision of architecture as I enter my third year of bachelor’s at University of Waterloo.

The intent is to cater to the personal needs of users, to allow for adaptability and growth, and to practice material consciousness. My aspirations reside in the cultivation of nuance through built detail.

Count to Three addresses the pressing need for palliative and end-of-life care services within the Bow Valley Region. This facility stands at the crossroads of historical mid-century North American hospice prototypes and embraces contemporary design elements that challenge conventional connotations associated with death and grief.

In this hospice, loved ones can find solace and celebrate the rich tapestry of life as they navigate the journey of confronting mortality. This approach reimagines the pathos of end-of-life care — fostering an environment where dignity, compassion, and a holistic appreciation of one’s existence can take place.

The building is separated by a chapel and a service core into three distinct parcels — each unique in material, proportion, and vistas. The facade is denoted by offsets determined by the movement of the occupants to visually connect the different programs, therefore facilitating wayfinding. Through the alternating spatial sequence between active and resting areas, individuals with reduced mobility are accomodated.

Views of man-made and natural landscapes are prominent biophilic strategies to offer psychological relief. The interior offers the occupants spaces with a warm atmosphere, amplifying the Albertan environment through material, landscaping, and experiential features.

Originally titled Changhae-Yooju, meaning undiscovered pearl in the vast ocean, is a Korean idiom used to describe a brilliant mind who is yet to be presented to the world. This intricate web of floating pavilions, spires, and docks is designed to protect both the tradition of Jeju female divers and the marine ecosystem they depend on for their livelihood by providing shelter, market, and a source of light.

창해유주

Seagrass (0-30 m)

Acts as a safe breeding ground for marine life and an effective carbon sink.

Scallop Lantern Nets (5-15 m)

Fastened on fishing lines hung across buoys or grid of pavilion units. Collected via mainline that connectes all nets for fast harvest.

Kelp / Sea Urchin / Abalone (25 m)

Sea Urchin and Abalone inhabit and feed on kelp. As they may be threatening to the kelp ecosystem if left unchecked, skilled haenyeo harvest them by hand and leave the kelp untouched.

Oyster / Clam Cage (30-35 m)

Left on the ocean floor during winters when it is not ideal for haenyeo to dive. Collected as spring thaws, when oysters and clams are fattened enough to be sold on the market.

Pearl Net (40-55 m)

Distributed very far off the Jeju Coastlines where it is tied to the bottom of spire frames and anchored with weights.

(1) Cold, nutrient-rich current rush into the shore, promoting seagrass growth.

(2) Cold water flood the basin, the internal tidepool keeping the sea urchin and abalone at bay as they are unable to withstand long periods of time in low oxygen levels.

(3) Tide retreats, cold tide replaced by warm Kuroshio Current.

(4) Fragile marinelife remains in harmony as the basin and kelp holds the internal tidepool even as the cold water recede.
