Dong-zoo Han is enthusiastic about designing projects through cohesive analysis. Adaptive reuse projects require inclusive tactics, considering a building’s given conditions and the repercussions that it would bring to society. Her passion for sustainable architecture led her to the master’s course at RISD in Interior Architecture. Before going to graduate school, she worked at an exhibition design company for three years. Her work required an enormous amount of research and a precise design strategy. From this experience, she learned how to form an appropriate strategy and to deliver effectively to clients. At RISD, she acquired advanced research and analytic skills.
