HOUSE IN WOODS

This micro house project started with questions of who and why the houses are needed. Hypothetically, a young professional couple lives in a one-bed, one-bath apartment of 100 square meters in a high-dense city by paying expensive rental with maintainace fees. The couple is going to the office every other week because of a changed work-life pattern since the pandemic. In the week of work from home, they do not need to stay in the city. They spend their lives in this tiny house in the woods. If another couple has a similar work-life pattern to this couple, they might share and switch the houses every other week.

Planning the efficient use of water and electrical energy is essential for this sustainable micro house. The water and electric energy (lights, heating and cooling, working, and cooking) of this house aim for selfsustain off-grid building. I planned water systems that collect subsurface water and rainwater, purifies it, and uses it for kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and gardening. The filtered sewage returns to nature. The residue during the purified process will be dried and used in the garden as a natural fertilizer. In addition, the collected rainwater and groundwater will be used for geothermal heating.

All these systems are located under the kitchen and bathroom area that utilize the under-floor system. The energy used in this tiny house is designed to use solar energy. Besides, a minimum window was placed on the south wall for efficient thermal management, and all four sides were planned to be open for natural ventilation. A/C unit was installed for cooling and heating in midsummer and midwinter. The windows were designed to minimize the use of artificial lighting during the day and use soft indirect diffused light to illuminate the space.

The problem of the existing micro houses was the privacy issues from inside and outside due to the size. This project considers how to efficiently use the small space while protecting the visual privacy of the couple. Each space program is separated into different levels. As a result, the outside view to inside is minimized. And the couple also occupies their own space if needed. In addition, by softening the edges in the space, each boundary is blurred to minimize the feel of constraint from the small space.

Wood is the oldest, most environmentally friendly, and sustainable building material. This project aims to build a tiny house using a minimum of sustainably grown and locally sourced trees. The tree's heartwood is used for the structure of the building, and the sapwood is used for the interior finishes. The branches of trees are crushed to be used for landscaping and gardens, and the walls are made of Timbercrete using sawdust, bark, and concrete. The materials of the afterlife building can be recycled and reused to have a minimal impact on the earth.

The COVID-19 has profoundly impacted to a general frame of the environment in an office. While the pandemic has been breaking out, office workers have reported their emerging issues of life and work balance, needing appropriate tools for their job complete, and losing the motivation by disconnecting from their collaborators. We consider one of the collaborative spaces, meeting rooms(MR). A meeting room will be a crucial challenge in post-COVID-19 office design because it is mainly not for creating a social distance but for being closed in order to create good teamwork as well as to socialize with colleagues and clients. Before COVID-19 pandemic, the elements below were required for MR design: quantity and quality of tables and chairs; multi-media systems with connections; room reservation system; wayfinding and accessibility; blending; lighting control including both artificial and natural; acoustic and visual control for privacy issue; HVAC control system for thermal comfort. However, for MR designs in Post COVID-19, potential subjects below should be considered: Social distancing; personal hygiene; cleaning procedure and frequency; air flows and quality; employees’ mental health.

COPORT

Pandemic has changed work environments. Many office workers work from home, work alone, and work in independent offices for approximately one and a half years. These days, many companies request employees to return and prepare for new office environments. However, several potential situations are anticipated. Their colleagues may be changed due to the pandemic, and it may lead to difficult communication for their work. This problem will impact both mega and small companies, and in particular, small businesses and shared offices have faced many challenges to survive during pandemic (e.g., reduce business size, close companies, hard to find business partners). Therefore, our team focuses on a shared office for small-sized businesses (e.g., startups) and suggests design solutions to effectively communicate, enhance, and reinforce the common shared beliefs and behaviors that bind the individuals to an organization.

CoPort is a hypothetical shared office brand that is located around the world; thus, CoPort supports a flexible workspace where members can visit CoPort wherever they need. CoPort provides space and service to people who are freelancers, run small companies, and look for business partners. To support CoPort members’ successful communication and build a unique culture of CoPort, we provide a “Welcome on board” kit. A Blue Container, instruction on how to set up the display of the Blue Container, Port Pass (membership card), and an individual’s business card will be included.

More specifically, the Blue Container is a multi-purpose device such as a power bank, digital signage, and nameplate. CoPort members can bring the Blue Container everywhere to charge their devices, indicate their workspace, and present their personal identity, including their name, business size, business area, position, personality, role with visual elements (e.g., color, pattern), and their daily, life, or business motto. The most significant benefit of the Blue Container is to provide a flexible work environment. Members can move around the space easily without seeking a power outlet. In addition, information on the display can be a starting point of conversation to make personal and business relationships at CoPort. When members leave CoPort, they should return the Blue Container for sustainable use. Accordingly, CoPort provides creative design solutions to support small-sized businesses in terms of enhancing communication, sharing and exchanging experiences and knowledge, and building new networks beyond pandemic.

2021 The Next Work Environment Competition

Hill of gold. The final goal of this project was to provide the best brand experience to visitors while enjoying the wine and the view. The architecture should deliver the brand identity. I named the building “Screen of gold.” I ponder this architecture must act as a layer to maximize the image of the wine. As Quinta do Monte d’Oiro developed a top-quality wine from José Bento dos Santo’s vineyard’s unique terroir, it is obvious to provide the most fabulous view to the customers. The mass of the architecture is created to maintain the required size and location and maximize the vineyard’s view from the inside of the architecture.

In addition to maximizing the vineyard view, I thought that the architecture should be visually and physically connected to the atmosphere in the community. Low hight buildings, angled orange/red colored roofs, white painted exterior wall, light grey border of the windows, the doors, and the building bases, and dark green painted doors and window trims. These are visual languages are the elements that I used to create the exterior of the building. The interior space was filled with the full of shadows of Portugueses traditional patterns. These shadows vary and change with time, season, and weather.

TEA, SUNLIGHT, WIND, & TIME

The project “tea maker’s guest house” initiated with three thoughts, what could generate a pleasure time in the tea maker’s guest house? Which environmental elements could make the quality of time in the space? How and what design elements affect people revisit the guest house when people leave. To answer these questions, I belived the tea making process has a key. To make a high quality of tea, the herb/tea need the best quality of light, wind, and time. Herb and tea should have sufficient sunlight with different quality of light. Wind also important element for proper growth of herbs and tea. Lastly, tea is differentiated by time, like new tea, rested tea, and aged tea. From the site level, the design maintained the original orientation not only because of keeping the existed stone structure and minimized work(only added 4 parking spots) for landscaping but also the orientation has a great potential to separate the spatial programs (private, semiprivate, semi-public, and public space) and maximize the view, and wind. Additionally, this project focused on providing different types of spaces to support different types of individual’s relationship, such as Eco-centered space, the space are for one to one relationship, and space for a large group. These program concepts are supported by what people see and what people will feel in the house.

This project is the third of Bosch's IWC(Inspiring Working Conditions) office in South Korea. My team, Keumkang participated in the design competition with other two firms to create this Flexible Seating concept workspace design. I, myself roled as a team leader for the competition. I developed the concept of the space. My team suggested WELLNESS concept for this IWC office. The result, we won the competition.

After my team won the design competition, Keumkang also won the bid for the construction. During the construction process, I supported the construction team for the construction administration process and any additional shop drawings. In the process, I directly communicated with the clients to confirm the final design, finishes, furniture and millwork details. The total experience is the great impact on my design thinking process. Moreover, I realized the details of the construction process in South Korea is different from the process in the U.S. for instance, process of drawing permission, formation of Contract Document sets, Construction Administration process, bidding process, and building completion publication. Keumkang received a positive feedback from the users and Bosch promised they will use Keumkang's documents as their office design guideline for the future IWC projects.

2018 Keumkang Enterprises Project BOSCH IWC OFFICE, 9th Floor

This challenging project started with three goals and the solutions to achieve the goals.

First of all, 29CM, a hot on-line collect shop want to launch their first off-line flag shop within HANA bank, a progressive financial firm. Before this plan, HANA bank occupied in this hot place in Seoul, Kangnam. In order to attract the main target of the area, late 20's to late 30's, the bank invited 29CM to share their space. Keumkang proposed shared lounge and multi screens for both. The design concept is as same and as different. We intended to use monochrome as the major color of the space and use point colors for their identifications.

Second, We want to bring more people into the space. The location of retail shop is the start and end point of Kangnam Station. Lots of people pass by the shop and use the place, in front of the shop, as a meeting point to go with their friends and acquaintances. We considered the ways lead more people to the space and make a place as their lounge. In our first proposal, we used color of the lighting to lead the people. But the client want the space shell be cozy and no barrier to enter, thus we used low intensity of illumination for the shared lounge. Additionally, we proposed new signages.

Third, the owner of the building has a very stubborn opinion regarding of building facade. So, we wanted to reuse the main entry and even to restore the design of the rose window with a contemporary design solution.

I worked as a main designer of the project in early stage. I planed the test fits and the schematic design phase.

The size of this confidential financial office project was 5 levels, each level was about 20,000 sqft, the total was about 100,000sqft. The concept design was provided by Geyer, Singapore office. Keumkang was participated in this design & build bid as a tender. My team checked the workplace guideline that this confidential financial firm provided. And we, Keumkang, developed the concept and provided the details that might impact the users of the office. WELL, an environmental design rating system was introduced for the project. For this project, my team mainly focused on the design guideline, LEED, local fire code, and ADA were strictly followed in addition to WELL. And also each meeting room design was developed and presented as a typical room design. According to the design guideline, wayfinding and soundproofing were major issues for considering the design. Besides, we, Keumkang, provided the staircase details based on our staircase design experiences. I, myself, as a lead designer, presented this project to the Clients and PM firm, JLL. The result was not happy with, it was a great experience to know what is the design standard that one of top financial office provided and considered for the employee. And how the design team implements this size of a project efficently.

2018 Keumkaang Enterprises Project NOVARTIS KOREA SEOUL OFFICE CONSOLIDATION

Novartis Korea, Seoul office consolidation project started a design and built bid. Steven Leach Associates(SLA) designed the test-fit and conceptual design. The primary goal of the design and built biding was that the tender proposes the details based on SLA's proposal. Addition to the detail, Keumkang proposed new Way-finding strategies. We, Keumkang, provided spatial analysis results, such as Space Syntax, Kevin Lynch's way-finding, and local fire code. As the results of Keumkang's space analysis, my team proposed new color codes for their departmental uses. It was based on the other locations of Novartis and the color came from Novartis's logo.

Keumkang understood the given design concept from SLA is Journey of excitement. My team developed the concept, A-round. As you know AROUND means located on every side. We hope Novartis to be everywhere in the world to discover what we needed. Form the concept AROUND, we summarized four design elements for the interior design. The interior space will be used lots of curve shapes on the corners, used volumetric shapes, used 2 or 3 colors to make around on the interior space. We expect these design elements might convey the concept more effectively.

BLOOMBERG SEOUL OFFICE, Refurbishment

Bloomberg Seoul office refurbishment project is the first project that I worked on after I joined the team. I enjoyed the project as the lead design. It was a challenge because the working process and environment are different from working in the U.S. The speed of work like the schedule is much faster than the U.S., The building code and regulation are different. Although Bloomberg and the PM, Cushman & Wakefield is international, they know how fast Korean design firm work.

The other challenge of this project was Keumkang know the original plan and design of this Bloomberg Seoul more than any other. In 2011 Keumkang constructed the site working with M Moser associates. After 7 year,

the user decided to upgrade the conference area and pantry area due to the acoustical issue of the spaces. My team needed to convince the clients, my team is the best suit for the project, not only for the cost but also the design. The last challenge was that the project needed to maintain the existing conditions such as the floor stones, wall finishes on the core, and existing lighting boxes and snack bars. The design of the existing conditions are very recognizable, thus my team needed to consider how we match the existing design with the new design.

SEOUNGSU MULTICULTURAL SPACE

This project was 12 levels of multi-purpose space. There are a theater, a gallery, a training room, fitness, staff dining room, a cafe, a bakery, offices, restaurants, and so on. The System Lab designed the envelope and landscape, Keumkang developed the core and major interior space. As a team member of the project, I developed the interior concept and the restrooms. There are two different spatial uses. One is a cultural space on the lower levels (B2 to 3F). The other is an office space on the higher levels (4F to 10F). Because of the local colors of the space. Seuongsu, in the past, this area was developed as a center of the industrial area on northern-east of Seoul. Thus, my team wants to

render industrial (factor-like) atmosphere. We specified various types of pipes for the mechanical uses, lighting purposes, and even door knobs.

One challenge of the project was there was an unlimited budget for the interior design in the beginning. Which means the designer can express the concept as best as the design can in the most elegant way possible. But the client kept reducing the total budget in the end.

TE OFFICE RELOCATION

Keumkang participated this TE seoul office relocation design bid project. I, as a design advisor, take a role to create the concept of the new space. We called "CONNECTING GLOW" as the conceptual image of the new TE office based on our research about TE's history, the brand, and the direction of today's TE. It is a continuous design language with TE’s logo the Steaks of Dynamism, but we added the image of orange light to reach your brand power farther. Additionally, our team’s goal is to create a connection between users and the space through the glow. Keumkang not only selected the images that high-tech industries but also, we picked low-tech images such as the image of wood and landscape because TE has the goal of sustainable and connecting past and future.

Chicago Big Red Food Hall design proposal initiated with continuing the lobby design that HOK is developing for the building. The CNA center is 44 story building located at 333 S. Wabash Avenue in the Loop area of Chicago.

HOK as one of the food hall user of the building, this place wish to be unique dining opportunities that go beyond lunch, a third place to work outside of the office for the professionals who work in the building, provide areas to study, work and hang out with students near the building, a new place to visit in the city for visitors and to be provide destination experiences for everybody. My watercolor sketches were utilized as the previews of HOK design as a marketing tool. Tom, as the director of the interior design, he leads the project direction, and Pam and I proposed the interior design details.

Although this design proposal couldn't procedure further, it was a great experience to observe how the interior design team and the marketing team coordinate together and what media would be the most efficient way to convey the design ideas to the client.

Renovation plan of Stahl house LUXURY NOMAD

This project starts with my assumption of future living. In 2060, although our technology is improving evolutionarily and our society is moving constantly, our way of life will not be changed a lot. We will still miss our real nature, smell of people, and memories of our spaces. In the past, we just lived in a place almost permanently. Now, we can move if we want, but we constantly rebuild our living places when we move. In the future, interior space will move around with occupant. In this project, the whole interior space can be moved when the future client wants to move other places with the magnetic wooden blocks. The construction of the original stalh house should be preserved due to the client’s job which is a real estate agent. She will want to keep the value of the house for reselling. Exterior view from the outside. For the preservation, the exterior structure remains. It won’t be affected by the occupant. Here, I fill in the interior, and set up the pavilion. As shown below, I use wood with high technology although the material traditionally considered the technology of the past. While the existed Steel and glass, it seems represent modern technology, it are actually product of the past. I thought paradoxically.

2014 Interior Design Studio

Within the design I chose represent the past, present, and future.

Straight lines and curves coexists over the present space. The straight lines represent the existed building structure which is the past, yet the curves indicate the technology of the future. The wood contain both straight lines and the curves as the meaning of coexistence. I chose the material in the character of a bridge to connect through the time as well as link the structure to the city grid below

ENTRANCE - To recall the original design I reset the concrete fence, made famous by the iconic Julius Shulman’s photograph, and added vertical wooden blocks to providing additional security and rhythmical balance. I also added an access of entry allowing guests the ability to enter the house without moving through private space, a flaw of the original design.

KITCHEN - When the client enters the building, she can directly approach this kitchen. As she dwells the space immediately feels the visual progression of the interior space to the transition space and to the city beyond by the lighting.

HOME OFFICE - The client can use her media wall to communicate with co-workers, as well as she would enjoy the view of downtown. The fence can block the view from the neighbor below.

LIVING ROOM - The lighting fixture can change color to create different atmospheres. It is interactive to reflect the feeling of the users. This media wall has two feet of depth, it will share the back side of the home office.

PAVILION GARDEN - This garden is filled with three natural elements: The shaded sunshine from the wooden pavilion, Plants on the garden that exists over the original pool, and the water from the wading pool.

DINING AREA (interior view) - For the use of natural light during daytime, I set up the skylight. The lighting fixture filters the strong LA daylight, and the absorbed lighting source will produce lighting during night time.

DINING AREA (Exterior view) - This area can be changed if she wants to have a dinner in or out-side of the house. The geothermal energy would be utilized by reuse the existing big pool. It can help air circulates for the temperature control.

MASTER BEDROOM - This master bedroom is located the south edge of the site. The beautiful scenery of Los Angeles serves as a gift to the client every morning. The drapes block the sun while converting its energy for the house use.

NIGHT VIEW (from the garden) - This view is a retrospection of the famous photograph by Julius Shulman.

2015 Healthcare Environment Award in the student category ‘The Winner’, Published in Contract Magazine

Surrounded by various building styles, our site is located in the conjunction. Various buildings of different functions set up a complicated challenge to connect them into a healthcare community while at the same time to open up the view to the campus on the east side. Located at the traffic intersection, this critical site condition reminds us to consider how to rebind fragmentary healing gardens separated by the lanes and merge this group of healthcare buildings into the green space of University of Iowa campus and urban environment. Based on the requirements of connecting the existing hospital with the parking facility through our tower, we separate different circulation. By lifting up a second pedestrian garden level, we reconnect the our healing garden with the children’s healing garden while ensuring a convenient driving loop on the ground level.

• Vertical Strategy - Connecting three hospitals by vertical healing gardens together with separated circulation system

• Horizontal Strategy - maximize public space by reshaping shared space between 2 patient towers

• Volume Strategy - Twisting the building to open up the view for both our tower and the children’s hospital

COMBAT OUT-POSTS Design proposal in Afghanistan

In this project, I am aiming to re-proposing of the interior design of combat outpost within modernity. The people in a current combat outpost still use a design vocabulary from the second Word War that is almost 70 years old. The result of the poor conditioned design of a combat outpost cannot support their life not only during their deployments, but also when they are back to their home in the United State. The re-proposal initiated with analyzing the problems of the current combat facilities. First, the buildings, or the spaces are mainly constituted with temporary structures. It could make them feel unsafe, and also permanent structures like T-Walls were shown as scars. Second, the boundary of the spaces such as working, social, and personal in the current combat outpost. It might influence the soldiers increasing their stress levels for the pressure. Third, soldiers commonly feel high pressure from outside enemies. These three big problems are the main driving force of the proposal of this project.

UI PAPPAJOHN BUSINESS COURTYARD

This project a part of 2015 summer internship at OPN architects. I was in charge of designing interior space for the additional courtyard. The Pappajohn Business Building houses the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. Completed in 1994.

The building embodies the style of the Pentacrest structures with its use of aggregate stone and is a modern twist on the turn-of-the century buildings found at the heart of campus. Its style is also reminiscent of financial institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange and its use of a “money-green” paint scheme reinforces its financial focus.

A main purpose of the courtyard is to make additional community zone, a dining area, and diverting the main access because the previous plan has a big problem of traffic between class break.

The team, one project manager, one architect and I concentrated on the courtyard. The architect focus more on the envelop of the building like the curtain walls, constructions, base, and access from outside. I planed the layout of the furniture, interior lighting concept and layout, finishes of floor, walls and so on.

The remodeling plan for the immigrant center is part of a design project, ‘A Study on Design Characteristics of Public-Regeneration- Architecture in Architecture for Humanity.’

The project started in March 2010 with the Sarang Maeul Immigration Center located in Changdae Market in Incheon in S.korea. This immigration center is founded with a view to a church-based protection of immigrants and education for multi-cultural families. By applying the methodology suggested by the Architecture for Humanity, a design group that practices humanity through architecture, the gap between the designer and users could be narrowed through a design centering on architectural process and interior as opposed to the modern design prioritizing exterior.

Currently, resident immigrants in Korea account for 2.2% of the population, but general attitude toward them is still cold. We should accept their cultural diversity and harmonize with them, In which sense, the Sarang Maeul Immigration Center will be able to build bridges between immigrants and local residents through the grass-root movement of the non-profit organization. The Sarang Maeul Immigration Center is located on the 2nd floor of a commercial building in

Changdae Market

the Changdae Market. There are 8 buildings in the market that had been a traditional market for residents around Mansu 4 dong before large-scale modern discount stores showed up to diminish its market share. As a response to this trend, Namdong Office and the Merchants’ Club in the market have sought for measures to activate the market such as installing the rain-proof arcades.

As a psychological shelter and living space for immigrants in the market, the center seems to contribute to communication between immigrants and local merchants, who sell products for immigrants.

The project’s design concept is to make and share the space with users. For this, the design process is applied with design cooperation and the spatial program with locality. Further, sustainability is expressed with the environmental system, materials and colors for the space so that users and the center will activate the local market and make the space more sustainable. Such design process, spatial program, system, materials and colors as spatial components are designed to voice diversity for adding values and harmony like a collage.

Specifically, the project’s design cooperation is represented by participation of the designer, users, local residents and nonprofit organizations in the process. The head of the center, reverend Kim Choel Soo, the staff and immigrants were interviewed to identify any problems in relation to spatial program and its use. Also, immigrants went through a questionnaire survey, which data were led to understand and apply their culture to the design. In addition, existing cooperative programs were properly used to sustain the design cooperation.

To express locality, the existing spatial program was inserted into the marketplace program, or specifically, into its central garden, to build a place of communication between immigrants, between residents and between residents and immigrants.

Existing structures are reused

The central garden will act as a yard for immigrant children on weekdays, while it becomes a place to reveal diverse food cultures, cooking and selling foods from diverse countries. Ingredients for food sold here are bought in the Changde Market on the first floor so that people can cook such foods for themselves at home. Profits from sales of food ingredients will be used to maintain and manage the center.

In terms of environmental sustainability, environment-friendly rooftop fields are applied with the solar heat system for efficient heating and cooling. The roof is lifted up by 60cm for easier natural lighting and ventilation. The part of the roof receiving the sunlight is tilted by 10 degrees so that rain water can be collected and used for the rooftop fields and toilets. Regarding the structure, existing columns, girders and slabs are maximally used to reduce the cost for construction. For design sustainability, existing ‘U-shaped’ mass and columns as well as girders of concrete structures are reused to save construction cost and to maintain surrounding local context. Further, volunteers in art college students and immigrant kids are led to decorate the walls on the first floor for a design that is made along with the local community.

For this, design cooperation on the design process and design outcomes such as locality, environmental sustainability and design sustainability are pursued in the practical design.

This project is a real project that a Buddhist temple Gilsangsa is planning as a “clean and fragrant hall.” In Sungbukgu, Seoul in South Korea.

The “clean and fragrant hall” tries to achieve virtue practice into reality - clean and fragrant world, building, nature and, mind. Such design place focused on their virtue practicing into realty. “The world is clean and fragrant” that is expressed by the use of bricks in the architecture.

The final design of this project was selected from the designs of each 7 studio personnel, whom designed separately; and split the final interior design was again divided into seven separate designs and I designed the construction plan, courtyard, and 1st floor lobby area by myself.

LOBBY

Such as the BARK GROWTH

This is an Open Library project in front of Seoul-si Jongmyo Park. It becomes passages space between the road and the park that psychologically connects the senior citizens who are the major users of the park, younger people who use the road, and foreigners who visit the shrine.

In order to create sustainable space, one must be act using awareness as the foundation.

Awareness is reflection of growing human behavior to an object and tries to limit the growth of program in the space and space users. To achieve the growth, one must accumulate and wait, extract the motive from the bark that contains the concept of patience, and used the meaning of the bark in the form it grew as the design vocabulary.

The depth of the bark can be extracted into three stages. Following that, extract the meaning behind the power of the tree growth of the interface and the form was constructed using the method of substituting the direction of the force to transform the space into design elements.

The exterior of the architecture represents the form combining direct and indirect method of expressing the power, look at the land targets with environmental sustainability, and the energy received from the roof and exterior was used in interior and ability to supply its own energy from the epidermal structure was utilized in this design.

The scale of the space was the road 9m, park 9m, 36m including 5 trees was 12m of height of trees was calculated; with the scope that 1st floor will not interfere with the passage of people, program was inserted into the flexible space. In case of 2nd floor, it was composed of fixed space where you can collect people.

1st floor composition is flexible based on the time-based activity and maintain the existing street vendors and bus stops and opened up the closed fences that the existing park and road had. It can be used as an outside library; Composed of programs that while waiting for the bus, read the newspaper, one may gather information or books and in case of the shape, the design was formed in the shape of biomass and similarly in form of words.

The composition of the inside on the second floor is the connected structure for three gateways. Individual users get together for chat and watching movies and for Korean chess and Baduk and read a book freely and also on the each side there are reading rooms for groups and individuals that externally-oriented designed. Design vocabulary ties to express the sustainability of the place and the mixed strong and direct and symbolic expression that the skin of trees has.

IN

This project keeps the Korean traditional style of construction and suggests the new art gallery’s concept of the 21st century which is different from the one of the 20th century.

The modern museum has no boundaries between writers and viewers and viewers have been making a museum as a writer.

In this sense, it tries to provide the public with the creation, exhibition and appreciation of calligraphy as a creative place not just for simply participating place. Calligraphy has sprite in it. The sprite is a mental relationship that finds inner side of me and feels the human relationship with others between me and society. In order to complete a stoke of calligraphy, you should try a line a thousand, million time. For this space, I try to suggest a space that made of million lines to fit to the theory of form and line for this program.
