With over 22 years of experience in both the Asian and U.S. markets, I have a wide range of project experience in architectural design and design quality control. My passion and strength are in design and management of large-scale international projects, particularly high-rise, residential, mixed-use and office buildings. Since I joined Samsung C&T in 2011, as a design principal of the Strategic Design Studio at Samsung C&T, I am leading innovative and award-winning projects in the global market. Equipped with a creative design methodology, I am responsible for the initial planning, design strategy development, conceptual development and schematic design for several projects such as residential, cultural, office and commercial, etc. performed by Samsung C&T. Currently, since 2014, I am involved in Samsung America Headquarters (Device Solution) Construction Project in San Jose, CA as a construction/design manager in charge of design quality control conducting Design Development, Value Engineering, Request For Information/Submittal/Change Order Request process, Field Inspection and so on. I led the Design Lab, established in November 2009, as a design principal of NOW Architects. The Design Lab was a laboratory for exploration and excellence in architecture that delivers services in aspects of architectural design and planning to produce unique environments and products for progressive institutions and individuals throughout the world. As a partner of QYA, which was Yamasaki Design Studio, I was responsible for the design and project management of numerous large-scale projects in Asia, Middle East and U.S. Prior to joining QYA, I was an associate principal of Yamasaki Associates in Troy, Michigan, at which I served as the project director for Qatar National Convention Center and the International Bank of Qatar in Doha, Qatar. As a project director of numerous domestic and overseas projects since 2000, I have consistently demonstrated high standards combining knowledge and skill, and a hands-on approach to design development and project management. My other notable projects include MCS HQ in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, Lotte City Hotel Jeju, Yoido Richensia Mixed-Use in Korea, and La Bella Verde Mixed-Use in Duluth, GA.

The new headquarters for Samsung SSI in San Jose is a bold vision for a campus and a
workplace that put interaction and synergy at the center-building a culture and brand that is
powered by the best ideas and talent. The building is carefully crafted to encourage
communication and interaction, leading to a synergistic working environment that will help
further transform Samsung into a regional leader in Silicon Valley.
The facility is to be built on the current Samsung property at 3655 North 1st Street in San
Jose and will include offices, high-tech R&D research space, and a separate parking structure.
The building will be Samsung’s largest development in the State of California and emphasizes
its commitment to developing new technologies locally and strengthening its position as a
world leader in memory, System LSI, and LCD technology.
The office tower is a square building approximately 300 feet by 300 feet in plan, ten stories
tall. It has a large center courtyard, which creates a 120 foot by 180 foot opening. Due to the
large cantilevers and bridge structure to create two 45 foot by 300 foot column free zones, a
steel structural solution presents the most cost effective structural system.
2013-2015 Samsung America Headquarters (Device Solution) San Jose, California
The podium connects the office (courtyard) tower to the parking structure. It is approximately
45 feet tall and houses the loading dock, the learning center and the data center along with
associated MEP support spaces. The Cafeteria building is an irregularly shaped one story
building directly south of the parking structure.
The parking structure is approximately 120 feet wide and 500 feet long that is 9 stories tall.
Since the building is so long, it is separated into two structures by a movement joint. East
parking structure will house kitchen that occupies East side of the ground floor with double
story height, chiller room at 6th level with double story height, and cooling tower room at
8the level.

Ulaanbaatar is in a period of rapid growth and development has been subject to somewhat hasty execution; which in turn has resulted in projects that are uninspired and, at best, rather ordinary in stature. As Ulaanbaatar forges ahead with its economic development, it is of immense importance that Ulaanbaatar never loses sight of everything that makes Ulaanbaatar unique. Being one of many new developments in downtown, Ulaanbaatar, it is important for the MCS Headquarters to achieve an iconic status, becoming a landmark image and distinguishing MCS’ continuing success as a symbol of trust worthiness, reliability and business leadership in the City of Ulaanbaatar. This design proposal for MCS HQ will ensure the fulfillment of not only the needs of MCS but also foster an amicable public relationship. Inspired by the mountains bordering the city on both the north and south, we designed a macro-curved façade that echoes the natural curvatures of the surrounding façade. This design will make a multi-faceted building that seems to morph when viewed from different angles. The east and west facades, by contrast, respond to the urban city and are simple and polished. In contrast to the curved façade, the light box at the southeast corner with used as communication area and served as a visual icon within the building.

The present GNP per person in Mongolia is 2.5 times larger than 5 years ago. It is expected to grow steadily during the coming years. Needs for better medical services are increasing in Mongolia and more medical tourists are coming abroad seeking better treatment, especially to Korea and China. High quality medical facilities are required to meet the needs of Mongolian people and to attract medical tourists from neighboring countries. Mongolia will be able to become more competitive in healthcare by creating advanced healthcare facilities. In addition to improving the healthcare environment of Mongolia, this project will hopefully create stronger ties between MCS and Samsung C&T.
The medical complex will be developed into phase I, II and III. Phase I development will firstly establish master plan where all the development plan and detailed master plan will be prepared. The 300 beds general hospital with international level of specialized center will be opened in the first development. Phase II is consist of mostly expansion of general hospital and also expansion of specialized centers are planned in the phase II strategically. Lastly, phase III will comprise education, research facilities, chronic diseases center and guest house.

Seoul (WE’VE) will integrate a new synthesis of technology and nature into the urban fabric of Seoul, offering an unprecedented level of sophis-tication and luxury in one of the city’s most prom-inent locations. The open green space around the towers will be a coveted amenity for building users. It will flow into the adjacent public green space, Seoul Forest, through the natural forms of foliage trees and colorful plantings that drape over the topography of ’sliding’ terraces.
The towers are comprised of two distinct vol-umes which together present a unique and slen-der massing composition. The skin of the towers facing the river is primarily of floor-to-ceiling glass, allowing expansive, panoramic views of the southwest riverside development. This glass riv-er façade, broken down to facets at floor height, sets back and projects, gently and gradually. Thus, the facade becomes a wavy fluid form as it rises to the sky, inspired by the flowing surfaces of the nearby River Han.
The massing of the towers facing the north has a more urban character. The louvered screen wall is made of sand and limestone colored terra-cotta. This screen creates a visual appearance of crisp beautiful stone masonry blocks, yet it pro-vides a selective transparency through its chang-ing density, reflecting the interior organization of the program. The louvers, with their iridescent glazing, glow and reflect the sky with many shim-mering colors. The screen wall opens up with even lesser density at the common skygarden ar-eas, exposing these multi-height green terraces, which are staggered throughout the height of the tower.
The stepped green terraces and gardens are cen-tral features of the site: their design is derived from the terraced massing of the tower and the podium building blocks. This terraced garden topography plays a vital role in generating the desired amount of active zones on the site. The terraces also mediate between zones at different elevations, connecting them visually and physi-cally. From the highest point of the site’s south-ern edge, the terraces gently shift the elevated garden zones down to the entrance plaza level. The entry plaza is centered on the main pedes-trian axis and pulled into the heart of the site to be a more intimate courtyard surrounded by the three towers. A grand reflecting pool is also situ-ated at the main entrance axis, bringing the ele-ment of water from the River into the site.

This scheme secured positive communication and openness with communities through a sports park on the front of the main entrance. The exte-rior natural space at the entrance plaza and front, middle, rear courtyard connects four functional (education, work, accommodation, welfare) pro-gram. Especially, using an eco-friendly special design over the entire design process, the training insti-tute provides a plance of experience to the exte-rior space connected organically with the semi-exterior space such as the eco canopy, green atrium, etc., and provides a creative and pleasant environment where education, culture and na-ture breathe together. In addition, the scheme symbolically expresses the elevation of the growing Agricultural Training Institute using a repeating and changing pattern in order to obtain the volume of growing and ris-ing mass from the broad greeen plain at Naju, a symbol of agriculture.

History (from Greek íστρíα - historia, meaning “inquiry, Knowledge acquired by investigation”) is the study of the human past. It is a field of research that uses a narrative to examine and analyze the sequence of events. This inculdes providing “perspec-tive” on the problems of the present; valuable insight that help us inform solutions for the future.
The design for the new National Museum of History, Republic of Korea seeks not only to house the collective narrative and archive of historic documents from the past, but also to transform the building into an instrument that actively and dynami-cally records and reflects the ongoing historic narrative, as it emerges real-time in today’s world. This critical narrative will be delivered through the use of state-of-the -art technology that allows visitors to contribute their own history to the collective archives.
There will be a number of electronic ‘story collectors’ located around the museum that allow people to contribute their own histories using cell phones, recorded audio, video and touch pad technologies. Located both on-site and off-site, the accu-mulative data will be processed and broadcast as a key exhibit of the museum. This will include the opportunity for Koreans travelling abroad to submit their strories via the Internet, MMS and SMS, and allow visitors at the museum and the Gwangh-wamum Plaza to physically record their history in video booths, on touch pads and using their cell phones. A large-scale LED broadcast will occur at the “Plaza of Contemporary History” located at the main reflecting pool at the museum’s entrance. The Water feature located below the energy-efficient LED broadcast board “reflects” the real-time narrative in a manner that mimics our own reflective thinking on history and provides a dynamic lighting system for the museum, drawing viewers tin to participate in the reading and writing of their own history......

Being one of many new developments in the District of Lusail, it is important for the KAHRAMAA HEADQUARTERS, Qatar National Electiricity and water provider, to achieve an iconic status, its continuing success as a sym-bol of Trustworthiness, Reliability and Energy Leadership.The KAHRAMAA tower employs a ‘crystallized mass’ strategy articulated with a triangulated geometry that exemplifies the potential for slender elegance in glass and metal. The faceted triangulation of the articulated sur-faces reflects the crystalline form soaring to approximately 82 meters at its apex.
Accentuated by the movement of the sun throughout the course of the day, the faceted, transparent and translucent trian-gular folds appear bejeweled as the sunlight is reflected from them, further enhancing the perceived dynamics of the tower, while the tower glows itself, maintains its iconic presence on the Doha skyline through the dramatic use of LED lighting (light emitting diodes), which articulates the subtleties of the geometry and reveals the presence of the sky gardens during the night like a beacon representing its sustenance of the city and the country. The clean, unpretentious lines of the solid underlying curtain wall structures organically woven together convey a sense of strength, stability, trust and integrity. This combination of folded glass units and deep curtain wall structure also functions as the sunshade itself toward the south of the building.While the south and north facades adopt the strategy of ‘crystallized mass’ to emphasize the boldness of the bejeweled mass, the east and west facades and the podium employ the ‘Ghutra and Ogaal’ concept articulated with an arabesque pattern on perforated metal panels. This concept will also gives sense of protection visually from sun light through out the day while it enables employees inside to enjoy views to the outside and also allows for natural ventilation of the parking deck area.

The IBQ tower employs a ‘two-mass’ strategy articulated with a triangulated folding geom-etry that exemplifies the potential for slender elegance in glass and metal. Accentuated by the movement of the sun throughout the course of the day, the faceted, transparent and translucent triangular folds appear to change in color as the sunlight is reflected from them, further enhancing the perceived dynamics of the tower. Clean, unpretentious lines of the translucent facade, enhanced by the solid underlying struc-tures at the four corners convey a sense of strength, stability, trust and integrity. With the structural stability inherent in the four solid cores at the corners, the IBQ build-ing has the ability to withstand the extreme weather conditions in Qatar. Additionally, the corner locations of the utility cores allow for uninterrupted floor plates that offer maxi-mum flexibility for the interior space usage.
In addition to the aesthetic and functional aspects of the IBQ tower, considerable thought has been devoted to the operat-ing and construction costs. Consideration in efficiencies relevant to energy conservation through the reduction of solar gain is evident through the employment of fritted glazing and implementation of several sky gardens. An additional benefit of the fritted glazing is one of aesthetics by helping to emphasize the faceted geometry of the building’s façade. Due to the translucency of the exterior glaz-ing system, the interior surfaces of the four corners are visible as they progress to the up-per stories of the building, in particular during the evening hours when the LED lighting comes into play. The architectural cladding of these cores will fold around the interior surfaces subtly angling towards the upper floors to a point of logical transition. From the exterior vantage of the viewer, the strength and continuity of the corner structures and the angularity of the façade are maintained and emphasized throughout the height of the building.

The aim of this residential/office/retail mixed-use complex was to create a balanced living and working community. Due to stringent set back and building height requirement but to satisfy Owner’s maximum FAR requirement, we have placed a taller tower to be near the park and added two additional shorter towers while maximizing the office and retail spaces by making a u-shaped podium. The challenge was to organize the complex as a unified design but to express different uses; different textured stones were used to unify the complex and metal cladding was used to accentuate roof and canopy design.

In the heart of CBD area of Seoul, Urban Re-newal project was announced and Yamasaki was asked to be involved at an early stage of the development project. Yamasaki Team helped to increase the residential portion of development as well as increase the maxi-mum height limitation by proposing a “new” urban prototype and negotiating with the local authority. The compromised outcome is the 30 story twin towers with a retail podium.
We tried to accentuate design quality of “Contrast between reflective, clean surface vs honed rough surface”. After series of rigorous urban planning reviews and building design reviews, four-year of design exercise ended with a scheme to become an urban “land-mark” of Seoul both in physical form and as a new paradigm of urban renewal.

2003 Cheongdam Paragon Mixed-UseSeoul, Korea
A design competition winning entry. Four design firms were invited to compete on the basis of “efficiency” “maximum view” and “creative use of accesses & materials” Creative use of two y-shaped tower with two cores each allowed “maximum view line” from each apartment unit. We have lifted the building to allow a ground level parking with a three-lane auto drop-off area while main-taining “vehicular-free” landscape deck for residents to enjoy. A water feature including a stream and a waterfall was used to cre-ate a tranquil environment extended to the nearby park. Two types of stones -limestone and granite- and a metal roof were used to achieve a “timeless” residential design.

2003 Hoihyun-dong 3-1 Mixed-Use ComplexSeoul, Korea
The Hoihyun-dong mixed-use project consists of two 32-story towers located in the central business district of Seoul, Korea. The project is situated next to the Namsan Mountains and provides breathtaking views to the south.
Yamasaki was given strict building code re-strictions in terms of the design. As is typical of residential buildings of this type in Korea, all 408 units required southern exposure. The final design and shape ensured that each unit would receive a maximum amount of daylight.
The mixed use project also includes office suites, retail space, and rooftop gardens.

2003 Sejin Techno ParkSeoul, Korea
The Techno Park is an “apartment-type” factory which meets the needs of lightindus-trial and hi-tech manufacturers. The building accommodates large floor plans and more flexible, customized floor usages. To minimize the strongly horizontal building shape, verti-cally oriented, thin mullions were designed. The atrium releases the heaviness of the building mass and brings sunlight directly into its center. The solid base, contrasted to the transparent top, creates more stability and strengthens the image of the entire building. This bold and distinctive design expression speaks to the importance of the growing technology market and its significance to the local economy.

Yamasaki has been involved in developing a new prototype for “factory“ apartment with retail. The idea is to create a high-rise tower with “cell“ type factory for IT & BT compa-nies to be sold or rented. In coming up with Byucksan Digital Valley’s landmark design, we have tried to mimic an “office“ tower with retail on the podium level to differentiate from existing “factory“ apartment market. We were able to meet the tight budget constraint thru use of ceramic tiles and modularized aluminium curtain wall system.

2003 Heyri, The StepPaju, Korea
This project is part of Heyri Art Valley Devel-opment Plan, which offers a community to artists, designers, musicians and scholars. Multi-uses and work-living spaces encourage new experiments and collaborations that will facilitate interactions across disciplines.
Five separate building blocks surround a central plaza to provide different functions: libraries, classrooms, dormitories, a museum and galleries, a multi-purpose hall and a shopping mall.
The project includes two housing residences within the development. The first residence consists of 38 dorm rooms as well as 18 art studios. The second contains 24 art studios and eight luxury style apartments.
The integration of programs is elaborately planned and well designed through the exterior corridors which are connected by decks, stairs and escalators. This generates a “Big Loop” that allows continuous circulation through the buildings. The “Big Steps” leading to the central plaza are functioning as stages for various events and activities. The organi-zation, the circulation and the materials used in this project all reflect the influences of art, culture, people and the environment.

2003 Mona Lisa Shopping MallSeoul, Korea
One of the challenges of this design was to create independent circulation for each function of a multi-functional entertainment building. The three main components, a cinema, night club, and shopping mall, were separated vertically and linked three dimen-sionally to maximize each element.
A 900x900 pixel size image of Mona Lisa will be displayed on the façade. Additional signage will wrap around the building exterior and be blurred by the Mona Lisa image. The usage of the “sfumato” effect on the skin, a term coined by Leonardo da Vinci, represents a blending of colors and tones, so subtly that there is no perceptible transition of a mixing and interlocking of programs.

2002 Songlinri Mixed-Use DevelopmentBeijing, China
The proposed property is bounded by the Nan Er Hwan Road on the north, the Yong Jian Road on the west, the Song Lin East Road on the east, and by the Yong Tie Yuan apart-ment complex and existing railroad tracks on the south. The Song Lin East Road, southeast of the Tao Ran Bridge will open once existing houses on site are removed.
The design concepts of the project are based on current Chinese residential develop-ment data and information, and the study of advanced residential culture in Korea and America. Adopting the advantages of these advanced residential cultures will offer the most efficient residential culture in China. From the study of existing apartment shapes and plans in China, it is important to address the concern for space with southern orienta-tions and kitchens with exterior exposures in the design concept. But when we look at the existing eight-unit apartment plan available in China, it shows many units facing east and west. In addition, the plans show uneven shapes caused by arranging the kitchen exposure to the outside, which will increase the construction cost. Y-shaped and L-shaped towers provide more units that face south and minimize the uneven shape in the plans while every kitchen is exposed to the outside. No doubt, this plan will maximize the flexibil-ity of construction and also minimize the cost of construction.Luxurious, timeless and functionally designed, the 5-star city hotel contains over 400-guest rooms, restaurants, and clubs with major em-phasis being placed on convention facilities within the concept.

The design idea was initiated from Yamasaki’s traditional office building philosophy, “most efficient”, “convenient” yet “simple” The over-all shape of the building is a “simple” box with a “tongue” like ramp structure as basis of de-sign; we tried to incorporate “mesh” material to have dual façade features as time passes -“simple” day vs “complicated” night façade.

Yoido Richensia consists of two 40-story towers connected by a seven-story building. Located in downtown Seoul along the scenic Han River, the location of this project was a major consideration in the buildings final design. The project is situatednext to one of the tallest buildings in Korea in the heart of a very prestigious downtown site. The challenge was to design a building with high visibility which would stand out among the other high-rises around it.
The mixed-use facility includes 235 upscale luxury apartments and 252 office suites. The orientation of the two towers is skewed to maximize the southern exposure and help provide visual privacy for the residential units. The residential space is divided into individually owned luxury housing units within the towers. Each unit is approximately 2,000 sf.
The connector building consists of six floors of office suites which were primarily designed for business use and lodging purposes. The structure also includes a fitness facility, retail shops, a roof top community area, and below grade parking.

1996-1998 Daewoo Electronics HeadquartersSeoul, Korea
The design of this new headqurters building is a challenging opportunity to inject some po-etry into the prosaic office block and enhance the image of the Daewoo Corporation as a symbol of the city of Seoul and Korea. The pro-posed 172 metre high tower will house 95,000 m2 of office and laboratory above ground, 10,000 m2 at lower ground and 50,000 m2 of parking and plant below ground level. The skeletal form of the tapered slab tower will be a combined steel and concrete struc-ture. The main steel frame is made up of two inner columns and two outer columns that fol-low the curved facade of the building . Steel outrigger trusses provide stability at intervals up teh structure. Where these occur, double height sky gardens are created with outside terraces on the narrow elevation. A slender steel and concrete central core runs the full height of the building distributing all services to the long, column free office floors.The tower will have an energy efficient triple layered facade with adjustable blinds to pre-vent solar gain and openable windows for par-tial natural ventilation. High speed lifts up one side of the building stop at the double height garden levels from which escalators link intermediate floors. The appearance of the escalators at the edges of the building will animate the main facade an they will provide magnificent views over Seoul. The extensive basements cover the shole site, the upper levels forming an internal public public plaza containing shops, cafes, restuar-ants, a fitness centre and an auditorium with care parking, plant, and loading bays on the lower levels. A public plaza with water features, trees for shading and cafes surrounds teh building at ground level.
