Tiny Forest House / YounghanChung Architects

Small Architecture - Unlike the parcels that are standardized by the development of standardized housing sites, the small parcels in the city center, which contain the past time of the hanoks, are not so strange to us. Small construction in a small parcel is a natural result. What is the difference between Japanese small architecture and our small architecture? Perhaps it is the elimination of unnecessary spaces as much as possible, and the fundamental way of living in a small space has become a culture in a long life. On the other hand, for us, economic reasons are the first thing that works in Small architecture. Because of rising land prices, clients are looking for small parcels, architects are exploring the type of architecture that fits the scale, and users are adapting to small life. However, there is a limit to reducing the size only to maintain the thread that constitutes the space. Small architecture must be reflected in both structure and space.

Light Hollow / YounghanChung Architects

Light Hollow is an extension of the aforementioned "9x9 Experimental House". The prior project was based on the concept of exploring the fundamental experience of living through a space in which the user could actively define areas and dismantle internal and external spatial boundaries, as opposed to areas of action defined by furniture.

Floating Cubes / YounghanChung Architects

Facing a reservoir built to store agricultural water, the site is recovering its primitive landscape day by day and trying to resemble a natural lake. This place might have formed a natural boundary with waters along a slope. But one day, humans hands found the place, and they cut paths through it and laid out stone walls along these paths to impose a hierarchy on the land. Inevitably, however, a development rush that can be commonly found in any suburb areas came in. Such a situation requested to establish a new relationship between architecture and land as well as architecture and architecture.

Five Trees / YounghanChung Architects

The trees disappeared without a trace. They probably had been settled like sardines along the topography of the mountain a long time ago. The place got filled with artificial trees of different height and size, placed in a proper distance from each other. Between the distance, a southern sea breeze would linger for a while or the midday warm light beating down from the northwestern high altitudes would collect in no time. Time to time, we face the reflection of ourselves casted on the shadow of the trees. And sometimes we chase after the shadow of the trees, rolling the hoops all day long (fig.1).

Long ago, in his Building, Dwelling, Thinking; Martin Heidegger used a few buildings to discuss their relationships with dwelling.

Poroscape / YounghanChung Architects

This author suspects that the road where tradition and modern culture join, and the place where the beginning and end of this road simultaneously intersect may be the very Insadong. On this road is diverse cultural behavior being done and a new culture is set off in the course of such cultural behavior’s scattering and gathering to other places. It really required a lot of cautiousness in creating another look at Insandong where the tradition placed in the framework of a road just like a twig and exotic looks are mixed. Probably, such cautiousness might be attributable to the fear that creating a new look of Insandong might cause an impact on the memories of the close by-gone days shared by the whole Insadong and value of privacy like a vestige, but this author would say that such cautiousness is rather a challenge to the possibility of the partial look of Insadong being read as a path attempting at the point of contact between tradition and modern times separately from the mixed image of the whole Insadong.
