The response level to local and national disasters is great but it’s a damn shame that so many people take advantage of the sad situations.

I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill – there’s always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers.

This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys “angels” got busted ripping off the system. Shame on them!

I think you’re wrong.

Maybe it’s not supposed to be a home now because a home is made by it’s owners, but architects are supposed to give some special features to make a simple building a place to be able to live in. A house is not just a building, it’s not just for walls and a roof.

언젠가는 국제적으로도 소통이 가능하면서도 김효만 선생님의 개성이 죽지않는 건축언어가 개발될겄입니다.

여기 포럼이 너무 까다롭긴하네요. 조금 심하단 생각이 들어서 몇글자 적습니다.

저는 미국에서 설계사무실을 다니고 있읍니다. 저희 회사는 주로 대학건물을 설계합니다, 에모리, 예일, 하바드…. 그런 대학들이 주된 클라이언트라고 그러더군요, 뭐 저같이 직급이 낮은 경우에는 뭐가됬든 상관은 없읍니다만….

회사를 다니면서 느낌점은 천재적인 디자인도 중요하지만, 건축가의 아이디어나 이미지를 구체화줄수있는 시스템이 정말 중요하다는 생각이 들었읍니다.

이곳에서는 한국에서 보통 주는 설계기간의 두배나 세배정도의 시간을 실제로 설계에 사용합니다. 단지 시간만 그렇게 늘려서 쓰는게 아니라 고려하는 관점도 그렇게 늘어나는듯합니다.

재료선정, 인테리어 디자인 모든게 세분화, 전문화 되있고 담당하는 인력들이 있는데 이런부분을 건축가가 컨츄롤할수있는 시스템이 있다는 생각을 이곳에서 일하면서 많이 해봅니다. 물론 모든 안건의 경우에 건축가가 자기 고집만을 내세우는경우는 없습니다. 그런데도 종국에는 자기 색깔을 내는걸 보면 참 재밌기도 합니다.

각설하면 이런 시스템부분만 해결이 된다면 한국 건축도 세계 시장에서 해볼만하다는 생각이 든다는 겁니다. 특별히 선생님같은경우는 저도 잘 모르는거지만 국제수준?이라는것에 아주 근접해 있다고 생각합니다. 디자인만 보면 나으면 나았지 뒤지지 않다고 느끼고요 단지 그 시스템이라는거 그 효율성, 그 전문성등은 조금 참고하실 필요는 있다고 느껴집니다. 그런게 아마 문화적 차이일수도 있구요.

각설하고 선생님 힘내시구요, 계속 응원드리겠읍니다.

we should not look at this house as “what if i live in”.
iroje is a very successful architectural office in Korea and people do come to them for their particular style. the client should say ok to every move, material and colors, so don’t you worry about living in there. i personally do not like this kind of home, so you can also say the same thing, but for the architecture itself, i should say, they pulled off some amazing forms and spaces.

ya it seems that all of useless and very unnecessary forms create a lot of unresolved spaces and walls.

…looks like an undergraduate project in which the designer got way in over their head with the aesthetics right before the deadline.

Hello Anavic,

Did I say you could not express opinions?
On the contrary, I only expressed mine.
But I still say that the fact that many people like or dislike something does not bring intrinsic quality.
If we were awaiting the views of the crowds we were still in middle age…

The question (for me) is:
What is quality in a project / work and how to evaluate that in a neutral way?

@ peter

its true that ppl are different in terms of culture,lifestyle etc but when u r talking bout living spaces, basic requirement wouldnt differ much . only the architectural language might differ. end of it every one wants a livable space not conffusion arround them.

if any thing and everything done arround us should be taken as achievement with out any critisism i dont think we would have come this far in making GREATER SOCIETY

too much energy from the broken lines and translucent surfaces has in this interior, too complicated without clear statement. no counterpoint to balance this fast rhythm, apart from the exterior landscape. It could be further developed

This is a house or a Museum? I can not imagine a family living there, is so uncomfortable.

A comment for all,

In ‘my’ opinion, one of the biggest issues and joys of life are peoples differences of opinions, lifestyles, cultural backgrounds etc so to this end it is a shame we as part of a greater society still can not afford the generosity to cellabrate anothers achievments whilst still offering inquisitive critique through questions that might both inform our own views/attitudes as well as the authors ideas….just a thought.
