HELLO, I am an architectural designer based in South Korea, working on large-scale development projects that span BIM-based documentation and AI-assisted conceptual and detailed design. My focus lies in tectonic and high-tech architecture, where structure informs form and construction logic interacts with spatial rhythm and natural forces. I approach layout, whitespace, and spatial clarity as extensions of architectural thought, rooted in my passion for visual communication. Alongside practice, I pursue experimental research on façade design, spatial atmosphere, and environmental analysis, and I mentor emerging designers in portfolio development and critical design thinking.
