Interests

I have a background as an architectural designer and a facade consultant. I have always been interested in the technical areas of architecture and solutions that deal with physical limitations. While working at the facade engineering office, I could train intensely in the engineering and computational approach to solving problems. Based on this technical background, I want to pursue further finding the formation grammar of the digital world, where there are no physical limitations. The new formation grammar of the digital world allows us to have a unique architectural experience.

Research Experience

Carbon footprint of building façade

VS-A Internal Research

Pointing out current low carbon policies are only concentrated in energy use of buildings, we suggested embodied energy of buildings should be considered as well. Calculating building energy consumption on top of embodied energy, we argued that true meaning of environmental concept is relevant with how many years the building will be used.

Exploring errors in calculating U-value of curtain wall

VS-A Internal Research

In Korea, U-value of opaque part is calculated by simple equation considering thickness and thermal conductance of certain material. This approach is also maintained when calculating opaque of curtain walls, which ignores the big influence of heat loss through metal frames and linear thermal bridge(psi). In this research, we compared results between existing table calculation method and thermal simulation, reporting irrationality of current U-value calculating method.
