This first studio aims to provide students studying to become architects with the basic issue of "how to read the world." The world we live in is presented as the text to be read and it is divided it into three parts: Objects, Human Bodies, and Sites. Hence, we set a space based on a scene from novels or movies. By developing such spaces focused on the relationship between the body and the object, students will explore specific feelings about spaces, materials and, moreover urban spaces as a cotext for those feelings.

Order is one of the main tasks in creating space. Order is defined as establishment of relationship between an object and another object, or an object and the whole. Specific relationship among objects and phenomena can be set up by order. Order in architecture means the establishment of relationship mentioned above and beyond. The objective of this studio is to understand order in objects or phenomena through close observation of objects. Students study characteristics by abstracting the ordinary objects with concrete form. Thought obtained in this training is to be collectively applied to design subject. In this course, we will study the fundamental interrelation between the intrinsic order in objects and the explicitly-presented features such as structure, material, and space.

The objective of this studio is to learn through architectural thinking and design how to handle space, which is a major issue in architecture. The ultimate goal of architectural discipline is to develop capacity to extract architectural substance with consistency and unity based on social, environmental, technical, and aesthetic consideration. For better design it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the design process itself. For a successful realization of architectural concept, one must understand structural principles along with construction methad and be capable of carrying out the design intention through detail design, based on the knowledge of characteristic and analysis of materials.

Architecture in the City; The City in Architecture_We define architecture as relations between a city and its systems, not as design a house in the assigned site. In this course, students will explore how many characteristics are exposed in a city and reflect their findings to their design. The site is Insa-dong where traditional texture and features still remain. Based on their findings, observations, and interpretations about Insa-dong, students will develop their designs within the site.

Interpretation of Program Human activities and facilities that contain them are related to interpretation of unique programs by time and user of those facilities. We will explore buildings constructed after the modern age, in particular, and re-interpretate their programs. We will focus on the context of the site and the method to promote the sense of community as limited by the relevant laws and functional demands. In the latter part of the course, we will discuss how public facilities such as libraries and schools have changed and interpreted with the assumption that spatial arrangements represent interpretation of facilities that make up an institution.

Human Behaviors and Space_This studio's main purpose is to have student experiment and practice composing and organizing spaces that react to group behavior which is made up of behaviors of individuals. Individuals continually move through space according to his or her independent will. In designing spaces, students learn to focus on distribution of various forms of human behaviors in their pure state they move flow over the borders between spatial and temporal lines which allow such events and behaviors to have motives of their own in a given space. As a result, student acquire the ability to design different and urban architectural spaces such as the borderline between interior and exterior, spaces that embrace the continuity, void, and ones that engenders coming together of people etc. The projects are Performing Arts Center and Office Buildings.

This is the last studio in the (old) 4-year curriculum toward the degree in architecture. Students have finished the graduation project in spring; this fall studio deals with a specific project with the following goals: Design of complex buildings with an emphasis on urban planning and design; Incorporation of data collection, data analysis, programming, planning and design; consideration and design of building structure, building system, landscape architecture and other inherent problems.

The objective of this course is to understand fundamental concept of framework of space through architectural presentation and casual study, and deal vwith subjects related to architecture through exercises. Through a series of assignment that concludes with Visual Essay, students are to present the architectural subjects in various ways. Drawing in architecture is not only a creation method but also a communication tool. In this course, we aim for fluency in communication based on the fundamental analysis and understanding of an idea and objects to be presented.

This course aims to provide the next 4 goals: general understanding of architectural elements, analysis of existing buildings through keen observation and contemplation, practices in architectural representations, and design of fundamental elements.

The first semester of the architectural design course introduces students to develop their designs within the selected site. Students' proposals need to be based on human behavior and human scale. The studio consists of three design projects. The first project focuses on interior space of the two cubes. The second one emphasizes on the conceptualization of the existing site conditions. The final project is to design a single-family house at the site that represents the overall city block.

In this course, students study interior design in terms of material, furniture, construction, and facilities in integrating manner. Students are asked to design a house with detailed consideration in materials, furniture, and electric facilities. Students then design bigger projects such as community facilities and public buildings with inherent site problems.

We define architecture as a mechanism that expresses confrontations between borders, which means architecture cannot be confined just in a private territory, but in a public one. Therefore, architecture should be the common interest. This studio is aimed at researching the relationship between areas and borders, which meas how the spaces in the city are divided and related. By analyzing our lives thoroughly, students will pose questions of what should be the conditions of our lives in the city.

Based on understandings in history, context, and texture of a city, students will contemplate on the modern interpretation and applications of traditional Korean architecture. Students are asked to visit traditional city housing and analyze its spatial aspects and context. From the detection of skills and principles used in architecture at that time, students would apply their findings to their design projects such as modern housing, public, and cultural facilities.

A design project will be undertaken for a large scale building. The program, site, and bid documents for a recently completed local project will provide the basis for three phase of work; research(2 weeks), design(4 weeks), and development(6 weeks). Each phase will associate technological, programmatic, and compositional considerations.

This course aims to study professionally on comprehensive planning of architecture which forms the foundation of architectural planning, to broaden the width of understanding of architectural works through analyzing the ways of forming space and its shape beyond the limit of theoretical planning, and at the same time studies the groundwork to set up students' own creative language of architecture by introducing the studied results into students' works.

The primary object of this course is to consider how architecture originated and has developed its logic about form and space for human beings. Especially, we concentrated on the modern and contemporary architecture and then scrutinized on which base the architecture is developed and then analyzed the logic of architects in the form of structure, landscape, and place in relation to the city. As a result, we thought it more important to establish an architect's own principle-in what way an architect should develop his or her own design - than to research only on the theory and methodology itself.

As it is the course for studying interior design fundamentally, theoretically and practically, interior design is to be defined not as mere decoration but as an independent realm of constructing and expressing space. With the unobstructed study of the language and way of construction, its theoretical support and practical cases in Eastern and Western world, students will analyze inclination of their own works by themselves and set their own strategies of design of interior space.
