The theme of this studio iws 'how to read the surronding and world'. Throught the researching on the 3 kinds of texts; things and place, we are developing abilitiies of observation, analysis and interpretation. Even though these 3 texts are not architectural themes, these are the background of architecture and the foundation of understanding the world. We are also learning how to express result of observation and unique analysis as a specific plan and model.

The objective of this course is to help students to learn the process of design by encouraging them to get familiarized with the basic architectural concepts. Students are asked to carefully analyze the given context and the site, which are important part of design considerations, in the process of establishing architectural concepts that would reflect architect's aesthetic vision. Emphasis will be given on having students engaged in total design process in which students would learn to address such issues as site planning, program analysis and building design.

The objective of this course is to emphasize the importance of the technical aspect of architectural design by having students pay attention to building materials and structural systems. Students will have opportunities not only to examine the potential design possibilities of various structural systems but also to develop tectonic awareness of building materials.

Architectural design studio 3-1 has the goal of processing from a simple building for individual user to a complex building for various users. In the assignment, site planning and shape planning will be the main work derived from making relationship among different buildings, building complex and the urban context. Students will have the opportunity for understanding program of specialized buildings. For this, students can select their own program from 3 different projects in 2 groups.

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 objective of the studio is to create a Fashion Hive, a complex which engages with the notion of fashion in all its forms. From production and manufacturing to display and retail. Students will be asked to investigate the motion of a fashion hive, and encouraged to develop their own program to include: Fashion Design School/ Working studios for young designers/ exhibition spaces/ fashion shows and catwalks/ Clothes fabrication workshops/ Retail spaces for young designers/ Etc... Rather than start with a tabula rasa condition all students are required to develop projects which, address, reclaim and surgically connect with the existing fabric of the above mentioned site.

Design Objective: An integration development of the central retail district is expanding towards the city. Additionally, the architectural restrictions and guidelines are changing to expand the territory of a city. Therefore, architectural design in a city is giving a shape to the city and has a close relationship to the architectural business objectives. To understand today's development project and to research how an architect produces a creative architecture is the objective of this design studio. Students would be practicing a vast size project that makes a residential area more alive adding a commercial retail function, with understanding of a clien's request which has a possibility to carry on. The practical knowledge between the client and PF consultant would be given to students which the knowledge is critical to the urban architectural design. A thorough review, strategic facility plan, and contents development should be considered along the design development.

For the architect, the material is not considered as the element of architecture; the material is architecture itself. So, the material has not to be decided at the last process, but handled at the beginning with site and program. Through this course, it would be studied that character of material and its usage, architectural detail that material needs, researching of new materiality. Understand the nature of material and usage of it. To aware of it, explore architectural details related to the material. Consider the relationship between architectural space in real scale and the materials. At the same time, research on physical make-up as new stood on the consideration about an essence and concepts of material. By making an object with specific materials like wood, glass, metal etc. experiment unique interpretation and creative presentation. Search the case how architecture is embodied, by understanding material, and learn the prospect and general understanding.

Through drawings and basic design based on the architectural engineering, we learn how to draw and comprehend the blueprint (plan). The blueprint (plan) is very important since it is a way to express a building and a medium among people working in many other positions ? design, structure, construction, and etc. We required the ability to read a blueprint (plan) and to come across one Øs mind the spatial view. To achieve this ability, we learn to design and draw the blueprint (plan), holding the concept of dimension or scale.

Reading plans and sections, actual measurement, making physical model and
process study of residential housing were the objectives of the first semester. Planning architectural programs, brief understanding, and design document study were the objectives of the second semester. Students were asked to express the consequences of raised questions from space in a city which, regards beyond the architectural space and buildings that includes all the facilities of a city. Founded qualified functions were developed and expressed through visual media. Students choose the site and find suitable programs which are the planning process. Then they propose their design document which results the 'Service Proposal'. Students present a presentation in order to submit their works.

The graduatioon exhibition is a task to develop students' architectural thoughts in their own way and to realize the thoughts specifically in actual conditions. Students analyze modern cities and investigate how those cities affect to architectural spaces and shapes through what channel in our daily life. Furthermore, students embody their consideration for human flow, physical context and natural environment attending sites as the tip of the city. Students should develop their ability to analyze logically the program set up by themselves. That is the way to find their values that should be kept up as a professional architecture. The graduation exhibition reflects basic engineering conditions - structures, facilities and so on - as well as basic components of architectural design.

Focusing on the completion of housing design which is considered as basis of architectural design, this course aims at practicing how to run an architectural design project independently and creatively.

As a performance stage for human activity that accumulates and retracts in repetitive motion, the essence of the city, both in its physical and metaphysical sense, receives a great deal of influence from the deeds of the city dwellers. One of the essential elements that makes the city a city is in the intrinsic strategic value carried by the use and location of the boundary between nature and city. From the moment nature inside of a city becomes an important topic of architectural discourse, the goal of the studio is to guide the student toward a proposal that maximizes on the potentiality afforded by a sensible union between the greenery and the existing city conditions.

This course aims at exploring the way in which high-rise building in urban core can be the whole archiecture involving urban culture beyond its formal symbolizm.

The studio has an objective to understand the regeneration of a city especially understanding the function and formation of a city in a total city context. This is to search a realistic and reasonable solution to the current changing city and the future. Students need to understand the background knowledge of urban planning, economy, culture, society, history and especially the relationship between the architecture and the landscape to accomplish the course objective. A method to control a function or form or reconstruct a city structure is critical to the objective of this urban design studio.

The design studio 2 has an objective to understand a design process with variety design skills. Issues of revitalization which are, urban community, sustainability, and diversity are studied based on a confidence and vision towards the future to increase the quality of the 21st century's city environment. Students are expected to focus on a pure design issue with a creative attitude of Seoul to search the potential of urban revitalization.

Experiment architectural theories to the real city to study urban design which is expected to improve the practical sense of design. Especially new trials and objectivities should be found from practical precedents that is applied to the given project site in order to practice the real situation which is expected to be helpful for a student in the future.
