KBS Future Broadcasting Center
KBS Future Broadcasting CenterIn preparation for this global era of broadcasting with multi channels, the KBS Future Broadcasting Center (FBC) is a space where journalists, entertainers and viewers communicate and interact with each other. Considering its need to respond to rapidly changing media environment and unpredictable future with high flexibility, the center would be more invaluable with one comprehensively and organically linked shape away from the conventional space division upon given functions. In line with this, the FBC was designed to seamlessly merge open space, which is available for viewers, and internal space, which is reserved for the professionals. This proposal suggests creating a new space where interactions between journalists, entertainers and viewers are facilitated, and cooperation among different production units and teams is highly encouraged. The FBC is to come as a new symbol representing the future-oriented KBS town to the outside world. The second GroundThe maximised use of available space and uplift of the land to the highest point provide an independent ground for the broadcasting professionals. Meanwhile, a land in a lower floor is reserved for a broadcasting space open to viewers and citizens. As such, the center can accommodate both open space for the public and comfortable working space for the professionals. One Body + Embracing PeopleThis design suggests as KBS’s future icon one-body architectural shape, in which the public are highly considered, letting them move around and design the center’s shape by themselves. Put in another way, the center is shaped in accordance with its gesture toward the public.

Dubai Heart
The Design Proposal is proposed for UAE Dubai Heart Architectural Idea Competition to design a waterpark that would welcome visitors during Dubai Expo 2020. Jumeirah Beach is both locally and internationally popular and well frequented landmark where tourists visit to not only enjoy the beach itself, but to also observe numerous world-famous architecture in the city. During sunset, silhouettes of artificial islands and uniquely shaped buildings make otherwise calm and quiet Dubai coastline stunningly picturesque. The design proposal seeks to blend Dubai Heart into such sceneries. In regard to its geographical characteristic, Dubai functioned as an important trade location. Until the 1930s, the city has been known for pearling and fishing around Dubai Creek, where Dhow played an important role in development of the industry. This early industry constituted economic foundation for Dubai to eventually become the largest and most populous city in the United Arab Emirates. Situated at where Dubai Creek and Arabian Gulf meet, concept for Dubai Heart deriving from pearl and dhow seemed only natural. The perfect sphere shape of a pearl and the flat and spread-out shape of a dhow create a synergic juxtaposition. It responds to the context culturally and formatively.
