  Design Philosophy

We enjoy working with different people, materials and environments which are related to our projects and can be incorporated into our architecture.
 

  Recent Developments

By winning the international competition, Busan Eco Center in Korea has opened the way for me to concentrate not only on houses but also on public and larger scale architecture as well. I believe that the scale of architecture will not affect my basic concept at all. I still create my architecture based on the system of society, the environment, the function, and the collaboration with people from various fields. Through the experience of the "ar+d awards*" and the Korean international competition, I now also focus on the relationship with other countries and regions. Recently I increasingly care for the environment by using natural resources such as wood, soil, and brick. I continue to create new visions of architecture in different circumstances and places for the future.

* "ar+d award": International award for the complete project by architects under 45 years old, chosen by the magazine, "The Architecture Review" in UK.
