Designer Interview
22 April 2020
Childhood was brought up close to the local small town of rurality. The sound of nature is always by my side, wind, sunlight, bird sound, grass smell, soil smell.I am located inside me with memories and experiences of my back. They were enough to grow me up as an architect and designer who connected me with nature.
We are a small-scale Atelier design studio. At the same time, not many projects are carried out, but with deep focus on each project through in-depth processes and research. It values nature, landscape, environment, climate and local context, and is constantly striving to capture concepts and philosophies that are close to nature and truth without being fad-oriented.
For me, design is life itself. All human beings live in everyday life doing design. However, as an architect and designer, the design that expresses and produces results should be based on timeliness and responsibility. It simply means that the spirit and the world behind the visually exposed design are even more important.
Like capturing soil on the ground, I love the materiality of bricks that comb the soil. It captures the changes in time very naturally and I think it also exists as part of the environment.
Even if we don't use various materials or special details, we feel creative energy when we feel the differentiated atmosphere and dignity in the space we created.
Focus on space, architecture, and sustainability as a language that permeates naturally.
I feel alive when I do design. It's another story in the same context as Descartes talks about the nature of architecture.
There is no success or failure in design and space. If you just feel the serenity of beauty and mind through someone's experiences and emotions, it's just doing its part.
