Ten plates assembled across three media: atmospheric renders that establish the envelope and its weather, ZBrush scans that record the sculptural mass at fragment-scale, and Grasshopper diagrams that explain how the panel system was generated. The gallery is to be read in this order; the form precedes the script that makes it.

Eight plates from a year of typological studies. The work tests how a finite kit of façade panels can produce a wide range of elevations, and how a floor plate stays efficient in the awkward six-to-nine-storey band where code, parking, and pro-forma all argue at once.

Six plates from an individual study of eighteen single-occupancy rooms drawn at 1:20. The rooms argue that thickness — not area — is the variable that produces interior quiet, and that a room's character is mostly built into its walls before any furniture arrives.

Six plates from a research sequence under Prof. Eun-Kwang Kim that maps the unbuilt residual space of mid-density Korean blocks. The work became a small archive of fragments rather than a single proposal; the plates are read as a catalogue, not an argument.

Six plates from twelve months of weekend work repairing the homes of elderly residents in Uljin County. These are not portfolio pieces; they are punch lists and field photographs. They are included because a portfolio that excludes them is not honest about how I learned to build.
