D.Y KIM is an architectural designer based in South Korea, currently working on large-scale urban development projects. His professional focus spans BIM-based construction documentation, AI-driven conceptual design, Architectural permitting reviews, and detailed design development.
Rooted in a fascination with tectonic high-tech architecture where structure becomes form, his work explores architectural systems in which construction logic, spatial rhythm, and natural elements interact in a restrained yet expressive manner. His design approach is shaped by a strong interest in visual communication and artistic sensitivity, which he applies through structured layouts, deliberate use of whitespace, and a deep sense of spatial order to clarify ideas and support architectural narratives.

Beyond his professional practice, he pursues experimental design research that visualizes architectural atmosphere and façade composition. He is also actively engaged in mentoring emerging designers, offering guidance on portfolio development, design critique, and conceptual thinking. His belief in the importance of knowledge-sharing as an integral part of the design process informs both his practice and pedagogy.
