Elizabethan II House

By hiding all the cables, heating and air-conditioning ducts in a 4ft-high 'crawl' space between the floors of the Elizabethan House and installing revolving walls, the layout can be changed on a daily basis.

Owners have the option of making the ground floor completely open plan or separated into a number of rooms. The house has been designed in an Elizabethan style with the first floor projected over the ground floor ? in this case covering the main entrance and parking space. The black timber battens and white infill render of traditional Elizabethan and Tudor homes have been translated into a steel frame and other materials. The crawl space replaces an attic and provides plenty of storage as well as being an effective sound barrier for the bedrooms.

Lithic Knot - Jeongok Prehistoric Museum
Movement and experience are the primary generators in this design for a Prehistoric Museum in South Korea by London based architectural firm poly.m.ur.
By: poly.m.ur

Jeongokri is one of the most important Paleolithic sites in the world. Lithic Knot is envisaged as a museum structure that is embedded into both the geology and landscape of the site. The design of the museum focuses on the creation of a building fabric that articulates exhibition spaces while connecting scattered outdoor programs across the entire site. The organization of the museum attempts to dissolve traditional boundaries by creating multiple points of connection around each outdoor program.

The museum thus emerges as a place for the interchange of people, experience and information. The twisted 'figure-of-eight' structure of the museum is intended to evoke the crude 'post and lintel' architecture of the stone age albeit with modern systems of construction and materials.

Paper

This work derives from my experience about my nationality. I recently changed my nationality from North to South Korean and received a new passport. Although this didn’t change my personal identity, I noticed a big change in how I was perceived by others. Also, just by having different words written on my travel documents, I am now able to travel much more freely and do simple things easily like open a bank account. It made me feel so strange because they are just ‘paper’ to me same as ‘paper’ using in toilet. And I reminded a Japanese song called ‘Goat Mail’ which I used to learn and most of Japanese people also do when they were little.

The ComplexCity This project is an exploration to find a concealed aesthetic by using the pattern formed by the roads of the city which have been growing and evolving randomly through time, thus composing the complex configuration we experience today. I perceive the city's patterns as living creatures that I recompose to form an urban image. This project which started from Seoul where I was born and have grown in, is expanding to other cities all over the world.

Project #1, Interrupted Behavior , Project #2, Interrupted Vision, Project #3, Interrupted Memory

After engaging in a myriad of interdisciplinary courses and creative design initiatives at RISD, I became interested in the ‘intentional and planned’ interference of human physical, sensational, and intentional behaviors as they increase the probability of new forms of creation. As witnessed in the influence that bipolar disorder and epilepsy had on Van Gogh’s painting technique and the cataract that induced Monet’s unique color scheme and style in his later works, the interruption of human logic, motor skills, and senses can play a significant role in inventing new modes of creative expression. In order to test this thesis, I developed devices that artificially induce physical, sensational, and intentional interferences for the subject. Then, I conducted three experiments to test the effects of intentional interruption upon artistic expression.

Mr. Aves. A typeface designed during an ongoing investigation of ornithology. Mr. Aves is based off of the typeface Mrs. Eaves originally designed by Zuzana Licko for the Emigre Type Foundry in Berkeley, CA. The typeface was later used in a series of posters that sought to catalog and capture an ornithological range.
