Urban Studio

Redevelopment in Korea means to bulldoze existing grown urban structures and create a new ad-hoc city by master-plan planning. In order to build as high as possible and as quickly as possible, the existing environment is ignored, and dense high-rise apartment buildings form a dystopian urban concrete and asphalt landscape. In the process, neighborhood-ness and locality are lost, and residents are deprived of the place they have lived their whole life.

Renovaiton Studio

This studio is set in the Jeongdong district, especially Jeongdong-gil, which can be said to be a treasure trove of modern architecture. We ask questions and find current issues about how cultural heritage and buildings can build unique and correct values amid new demands and changes of the times.

Graduation Work

JeongDok Library, located in Bukchon, Seoul, is a building that was used as a school in the past. This building, which shows the beginning of the school building, is now preserved as an architectural cultural asset and is used as a library. However, I think that preserving the existing building as it is rather than using it reduces the value of the building and space.

Invisible Chair

Design Computing Studio

The process of making this chair is a structure in which two chair sections come out from one piece. I designed a chair of clean lines on the outside and a chair with a lot of curvature on the inside to give a strong contrast.

Wellington is the place where the mountains, sea and cities coexist with each other. And the pavilion is on the most central location of that beautiful city. So, I tried to make it not to disrupt the panoramic view of city but at the same time to be iconic.

The DMZ is a demilitarized zone located in the military demarcation line between South Korea and North Korea. South and North Korea are currently in a state of ceasefire, but tensions of war still persist between them. The theme of the competition was to create a public bathhouse in DMZ that both South and North Korea could use.
