I am a Korean American. I believe in love and stewardship to make a better world. I think that architecture, as a discipline, embodies human condition and cultures. Because of this, I see a necessity to understand various aspects of life in order to interpret needs of people and societies in truthful manners. I try reading novels and understanding socio-cultural issues in order to understand people and have keen views in the world. Additionally, my dedication to appreciating music, fine arts, and foreign language has helped me to discover the essence of human identity: divinity and diversity. This is one of my way of approaching architecture.
For successful architectural project, time management by priority is critical. I hope sharing my architectural vision to lots of people. Architecture should embody contextual language of a site, which is vibrancy of cultural influence, environment, and poignancy of the people's lives of which stories need to be told honestly.
