I studied Interior Design in South Korea and completed an MA Architecture Speculative Futures course at Leeds Beckett University in the UK. I am currently studying the Part 2 MArch Architecture (Advanced) course, where I am continuing to develop my architectural research and digital design skills. I am particularly interested in how architecture can operate within uncertain environmental futures, and how environmental systems and emerging technologies can reorganise the relationships between people, space and the environment. 

My previous projects have explored climate change, future technologies, and human adaptation through future marine infrastructures in Scarborough, a research facility on far–side of the Moon, and human-environment relationships on Mars. Through these projects that I worked on for 1 year, I have come to understand architecture as a system that mediates between environmental conditions, technological networks, and human experience.

Moving forward, I am aiming to connect this research-based design approach with Computational Design, data-driven design, and BIM workflows using Rhino, Revit, Blender, and Unreal Engine. Particularly, I am interested in developing ways to transform complex architectural problems into buildable geometry, information, and simulation by combining architectural data with animation and digital environments. In the long term, my goal is to develop as a Computational Architecture Specialist working internationally across architectural practice, research, education
