    Compression of LA Experience into Architecture

    As Los Angeles confronts the need to densification, this project propose a strategy to do so in a fashion that pre-serves and amplifies the experience of the city today, and makes good on its longstanding promise of a lifestyle of convenience and rich experience. This project observes that Los Ange-les is topographically complex, but feels flat from the perspective of the user because it is constructed on a continu-

    ous paved surface, with little to no thresh-old between parking and the contents of its structures. This project also observe that the city strives towards the synop-tic view: the hillside house that frames the panoramic urban spread below. >

    Verticalized Street Life

    Today, urban environment of the city of Guangzhou in Southern China is becoming more deteriorated, due to its skyscraper-oriented development without consider-ation on the citys climate and culture.The concept of ecologic urbanism pro-poses a new model of city development based on an alternative model of mid-dle-rise, mix-used building typology. This third typology mixes modernist con-cept of city (faster construction of city

    based on Walter Gropius Torten Hous-ing) and local peoples communal life based on its street culture, while pro-viding diverse thermal properties in the building to generate varied urban activ-ities based on architectural typology.>

    New Architectural Typology from Korean Grid

    In Korea, most habitation was made in val-leys as a finger-shaped leaf-structure pat-tern. The resultant land lot plan looks different from BAR code shaped west-ern cities (grid, axis), but looks more like a 3-dimensional QR code with more infor-mation. These are crucial factors gener-ating irregular cityscape of Korean cities. These spatial characteristics share com-mon elements with contemporary social-istic theories seek more complexity and

    multiplicity. Amplifying this irregular cityscape through architectural process would reveal hidden context of this place.

    Landscript Urbanism

    The life of our ancestors was deeply involved with the land on which they lived. Every land has its own figure. As we all have different fingerprints, a land has its own print. It is the history of nature itself, and sometimes a history of civ-ilization. Therefore, the landscape is a magnificent history book of our life and land: a landscript is an organism, a mass of energy that requires apposi-tional growth. Now, we start the archi-

    tecture by listening to the land, and adding a poetic but modest gesture to it.

    Architecture as Infrastructure

    Dangin-ri power plant has been iso-lated from various urban contexts. Hence required transformation to large-scale public facility(urban park with cultural program) will continue to make colli-sion with surrounding low-density resi-dence area which does not have enough urban infrastructures. It is a plan of partly occupying the site by extending urban fabrics and transforming isolated power plant realm into a part of the city

    by two stages. By doing so, this project attempt to incorporate such unpredictable events and future demands of the city.

    New in Old

    The architecture of Klarman Hall is con-temporary while being respectful of an emergent and continuing architectural timeline that characterizes the East Ave-nue Corridor in Cornell University, NY. As the new building will be inserted in courtyard of the Goldwin Smith Hall, care-ful consideration has been given to the scale and character of Klarman Hall.I have worked as a draftsman of the proj-ect in 70% CD documents in the Archi-

    tect of Record office, drawing details for several parts of its sections while cooperating with other designers.

    Transparent Courtroom

    The architecture of OO Federal Court-house in Los Angeles proposes a new con-cept of courtroom - more transparent and light atmosphere filled with natural light. In achieving this goal, making new relation-ships between daylight and interior space was one of crucial design objectives.I have worked as a design intern of the project in 80% DD phase. One of my main tasks was finding out optimum design alternatives of the courtroom with

    best sightline and comfort level through daylight analysis. I also participated in 1:1 mock-up courtroom design task.

    New Urbanity on Liminal Nature

    The Neponset River, a liminal nature divid-ing urban & suburban, black & white, and rich & poor community has been margin-alized through history, and now became a forgotten space. On the other hand, many fragmented parks and open spaces were recently developed in the inland (due to the myth on nature), while not actively utilizing the riverfront with huge natu-ral/open space. This project aims to cre-ate a new urbanity along the forgotten

    river while utilizing those problems and opportunities through an integrated water and open space management system.

    Hyper Landscape

    This project finds opportunity of cre-ating future vision of the city from the such accumulated physical and meta-physical history of the site, and creates hyper landscape by string such features together in a successive way as below: 1) Rediscover and reconnect hidden water-ways to the site (Jemulpo-road) 2) Create park and amenities based on waterway. It also functions as a reservoir which pre-vent chronic flooding of the site 3) Induce

    successive restructuring of the urban fab-ric according to the reconnected waterway 4) Consolidates strong interdepen-dency among urban elements and cre-ate new urbanity: Hyper Landscape.

    Early Opening, Slow Completion

    We seek an incremental and long-term approach afterwards. By monitoring the relationship between the park and city, and through sufficient social discussions and active involvements of the citizens, the park will be reorganized in terms of space and readjusted in terms of function. Since the process of a space becoming a place and a place becoming an attrac-tion takes a long period of time requir-ing strong public support and affection.

    Corridor: Form of Connection, Separation and Escape

    The corridors main function of speed is derived its etymology. In the 14th cen-tury, the corridor was not a place, but a person. From currere, to run, the cor-ridre first described a courier, and even-tually referred to the pathways above fortified walls, which enabled the trans-fer of messages. With the invention of the trace italienne fortification system in the 15th century, military leaders relocated troops to ditches at the bottom of the wall. The corridor followed. In the 17th century, architects interiorized the corridor. By The 19th century corridoio described a pas-sage within a building. The corridor ceased to be an urban element, but still main-tained a close relationship to the dimen-sions of the human body and the function of speed. But now it occurred within build-ings rather than between them. Architects gradually abandoned the corridor after its heyday in the 19th century. However, esca-lating building heights of the 20th century brought increasing demands exit corridor.
