PHILOSOPHY: A Design of Connection

To “connect” means to create a relationship between different things in a positive manner. To inherit unique culture in an era where societies are linked with one another in global scale, each micro-locality seeks to form its own identity based on its history and human network. We attempt to create flexible, innovative space and value by considering the relationship between various events and adequately connecting them through the act of design.

By designing space, we especially develop solutions to environmental problems that evolve around human beings. With belief that design is about transforming abstract thoughts and concepts to concrete form, and that it is an act of positive approach to thesis, we dedicate ourselves to problem solving from the following perspectives:

 

Environment:     Attention to global environment​

People:     Approach towards problems that occur from collective living of human beings​

Technology:   Development of new design & architectural methods with new technology​

Locality:      Vernacular design solutions that respects locality​

Scale:      Design application that transcends the concept of scale
