Yongwon Kwon is a designer based in New York, his work has been exhibited in Korea, Seoul and Columbia University in New York. Prior to studying at Columbia University, Yongwon graduated from Korea university's architecture department and has experienced at OMA in HK and Open Architecture in CN.
He has attempted to provide architectural responses to urban issues and potentials identified in the researches and interviews with hopes to probe highly dense metropolitan area. The mode of experiments deployed is intentionally typologically driven and provocative at times, as more than being readily implementable. They act as a set of strategies that open the densely packed existing conditions and discover sites of new possibilities within.
