BODY / SHELTERWINTER 2009_ARC102
The intention of this project is to design a shel-ter where one person could rest, sit, and sleep. Prior to come up with the design of shelter, we made a paper module that is unique, stable, and self-supporting, which later becomes crucial key of the design of the shelter.
My paper module is made of a strip of paper that is folded zig-zag, making an open square shape. And then I stacked them by connecting the in-tersecting corners. Stacking modules created a stable, densed paper skin with the texture of checker board.
And then I added incremental variation, wider as it gets to the right, and shorter as it gets to the top. I also made a variation in the transparency by putting more openings at the top left, as it begins with 100% opaque at the bottom right.
Phase 1 - Paper Skin
Phase 2 - Wood Frame
I transformed the paper skin into a bass wood frame. Unlike how the paper skin is densed, stable, mostly opaque, and inflexible, the wood frame was made to be very flexible and thin by using hinges for joints. As the wood frame moved freely with hinges, it was able to create different shapes and shadow.
However, there were some problems on this frame: it seemed like it was about to break be-cause it was too versatile. So when I worked on the shelter, I focused on how to make it more rigid.
Phase 3 - SHELTER
Based on my origina design of the wood frame, I made a shelter where one person could rest, sit, and sleep. I didn’t like this design at first because I struggled how to make my ideas come true and which joints to use.
As I was making the shelter, I tried to solve the problems I had faced with my wood frame, such as too much of flexibility, and thinness. Firstly, using bigger modules made the shelter more stable. And I used three different types of joints - hinges, slits, and pins. Having various types of joints allowed the shelter to form with more complexity and be flexible while it stood firmly on the ground.
CASE STUDY AND MORESPRING 2009_ARC 103
Case Study
This was a group case study. My group studied Sirmai House by Frank Ghery. For the case study, we have researched the background of the house and the clients, and we gathered images and draw-ings that are relevant to the projects, such as floor plans, elevation, and section, and an object or thought that inspired Gehry if there is one. And using the information we have gathered, we re-drew floor plans, sections, and an axonometric view. By doing these, we were able to learn the traditional architectural documentation technique through drafting, the skills to do the research on architectural objects, and basic analytical skills to understand architectural language.

Exhibition Space
Creating this exhibition space was to synthe-sis and apply the knowledge by making a verti-cal exhibition space. By using the techniques we have learned in exercises 01 and 02, we designed a space with three spaces with different themes. The exhibition site is 15’ x 20’ with no height limi-tation.
Through this exercise, we are to improve the skills of the use of repetition and variation of modules to create an enclosed space for occupation, the use of the light and materials to create different kinds of qualities of spaces, and the use of con-figurational sequence to create different spaces within ne object.
I made the main floor plan with the unique shape. and the stairs to the upper floor are bulging out of the building, which created the blocks on the sides. They make it more interesting because it creates its own volume. Another interesting fact about my work is that the light travels from the third floor, which is an outdoor space, all the way down to the first floor. Although there is a side window on the second floor, the most light comes from the top and it circulates throughout the whole building.
Exhibition Space
From the previous exercise, three projects were chosen from each section to be built in lifesize mock-up model. The project I chose was Shahr Razi’s, which was inspired by Le Corbusier’s works. She has made her moel with boba straws and we tried to use the translucent characteristic that straws has and play with the reflection of the lights. The final design we came up with is a cylin-dar shaped sculpture that is 4 feet diameter and 6 feet tall, which is made of 4-inch clear plastic tubes. The size of tubes are varied by 7 kinds: 6 inches, 1 foot, 1.5 feet, 2 feet, 2.5 feet, 3 feet, and 6 feet. And we assembled them together in random order. There are eight layers of circles and in each layer, there’s same amount of different size tubes. For example, there are each one of the different sizes on the first layer, then two of each on the second layer, and three of each size on the third, and go on... And we used the bolts and nuts to connect them together, and we used more than 300 of bolts and nuts total.
On the final model, we could see that there are spaces in the middle where lights can go through and reflect. To make the model more interesting and show the characteristic, we added the glow sticks. Through this project, I was able to learn the concept of the space and materials, teamwork, and the basic skills of construction and the use of power tools.
AQUA CENTERFALL 2009_ARC 201
Aqua walk was a more of conceptual and primi-tive designing practice prior to the Aquacenter. For this, I used a piece from the painting of mod-ern art and created different levels. By using in-cremental variation, the tide pools with different levels of water were created. And later, I added two L-shaped planes, which creates shade and en-closed space.
Aqua Walk
The site is located in Dana Point, California and the program is consist of outdoor pools, com-munity center, exercising rooms, and cafe dining area.
The crucial parts of my design would be the two paths, one diagonal that goes across the site, and one by the beach. Using the diagonal path as a spine, I arranged four courtyards with different programs. And the indoor programs are divided into three buildings according to the types of the use of the space - public use, staff, and private. Planting trees in 20’ x 30’ grid expresses various sizes and shapes of outdoor use.
Aqua Center
JAPANESE TEA MUSEUMWINTER 2010_ARC 202
The Tea Room is a part of the tea museum, and it is where the traditional Japanese tea ceremony is taken. Using the different grid of woods, I played with the light and shadow that will get into the room. By using translucent glass, the light passes through inside the tea room while the privacy is provided. The 3’ x 6’ tatami mat is used as grid for the room.
Tea Room
The Japanese Tea Museum is located in Littly To-kyo in Los Angeles, California. This museum will showcase Japanese art and tea utensils, while it also serves as a community center for Japanese cultural events and classes. Through this museum, I wanted the visitors to experience the building and the site. From the street side, people who pass by the Museum will see interesting spaces, or focal points, in the museum that they may want to be at, such as the big open gallery space on the fourth floor, garden in the base, and the replica tearoom and tea garden on the second floor.
The façade of the building emphasizes the verti-cality and horizontality of the building, by having the top two stories bigger than the floors below, which creates the illusion of a floating box. And the blocks that bulge out across the building on the top floor is crucial in a way that they interrupt the long solid horizon box as they provide views in different orientation.
There are four different gardens in the building that each has different purpose for different users, and they also allow more natural light to flow in-side the building. The two gardens on the second floor are open to public, and they are replica of tea garden. The one in the front side consists of the tearoom, which is also visible from the street as they enter or pass by the building. The garden in base is exposed to public, but accessible for only museum payee. The last garden is located on third floor and it is open to public, but it’s not visible from the front of house. It is mainly built for the museum visitors to go through on the way out.

First, second, and third floor are mostly occupied by public use, so even the users of public spaces can also experience the building. And they will also be exposed to some part of gallery and gardens, which might interest them to enter the gallery.
For the museum visitors, I intended for them to see the most part of the museum. They start from the basement, permanent gallery. There they have an access to the garden in the base that they saw from the ground level. The center of this gallery has an access to the natural light from the hole that’s open to above and the window with the view of a garden, but most of this gallery is “black cube” in order to prevent from the exposure of the art pieces to direct natural light.
When the visitors are done with permanent gal-lery, they would take the escalator to the tempo-rary gallery on fourth floor. This gallery uses the technique of white box. When the visitors enter this gallery from escalator, they face the big open space with a view of the street, where they will get a chance to look at the historical site of Little Tokyo.

ZERO-NET STUDENT HOUSING CENTERSPRING 2010_ARC 203
The dormitory building I designed this quarter is for the students of the Training Center in Long Beach, CA. The building is composed of 8 private bedrooms with separate bathrooms, one shared kitchen and one common area. And it is designed to be energy efficient and achieve the zero-net goal by using sustainable strategies such as passive solar heat and passive cooling.
The concept of my design is to separate the pro-grams into two buildings that are still attached to-gether: one building that is three-story high would be composed of private spaces such as each dorm unit, and the other one would include public spac-es such as common area and kitchen. In order to provide privacy, part of the building that consists of dorm rooms uses mostly concrete, while the common space is almost fully exposed to the natural light, as it uses curtain wall.

MT BALDY RESIDENCEFALL 2010_ARC 301
Intension of this design is to provide various views to the mountains, while capturing an efficient amount of daylight and mountain breeze throughout the day. Openings to outside view are made as a floor opens up and create the floor and ceiling. Repeating this system in two different orientations in different sizes allowed me to organize the floorplan layout. An integral part of this project was to make 1”=1’-0” model by employing real world materials and structural systems, includ-ing concrete for foundations, and wood and metal for framings and finishes.

SILVERLAKE MULTIFAMILY HOUSINGWINTER 2011_ARC 302
The site is located in the center of Sunset Junction in Sunset Blvd and the project consists of 35 units - 18 900-sf units and 17 1200-sf units - 10,000 sf of retail, and community center. I approached the project by making concept to create out-door spaces for both public and private and let the units have privacy and not intrude into each others’ space by having views and looking in different directions. I also created a public path connected to the public court-yard which continues from the public park where farmers’ market takes place every weekend.

CROSSINGS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLSPRING 2011_ARC 303L
This elementary school is located in Koreatown in Los Angeles. My concept is to create outdoor spaces for the classrooms in addition to general playground with hardcourt and turfed area. That is to encourge students to spend more time outside and have more outdoor activities.
Another conept was to make the library as a fo-cal point of school. By using different material for facade of library, it is differentiated from other buildings. And placing it on the center of school and make it accessible from everywhere is to at-tract students.
Facade of school on street side are composed of cement board panels in 3 different colors - yellow, green, and blue. And the library and the MPR has shading device around the building made of HSS connected in angle.
