Resonance

Resonance is a site specific floating light installation composed of seven modular black iron structures positioned in the waters of Yuejin Harbor. Inspired by the cyclical order of the Seven Luminaries, the installation translates celestial rhythms into sequences of programmed light that extend across water and shoreline. Woven nylon ropes act as both structural tension and luminous surfaces, diffusing light through the steel framework. Through reflections, spatial layering, and controlled light movement, the installation creates a dynamic visual field that shifts with distance and viewpoint.

Aistaland GT7

Aistaland GT7 is a shooting brake coupe that combines a rational industrial form with L3 autonomous driving technology. A continuous blue light band shows the vehicle status from all angles, making the intelligent driving state visible to other road users. An active safety hood protects pedestrians through an adaptive lift mechanism. An 88 inch augmented reality head-up display is integrated into the dashboard curvature, keeping key information within the forward line of sight. LiDAR and DTOF cameras build a three dimensional model of the surroundings.

The Netherlands Pavilion

The Netherlands Pavilion is an exhibition pavilion built for the World Expo 2025 in Osaka. The pavilion presents the historic shift of the Netherlands from resisting water to using water as an ally in clean energy, climate adaptation and sustainable living. Each visitor receives an Orb, a handheld sphere that guides the route and activates interactive installations, including a 360 degree dome film created with generative artificial intelligence. The structure is designed for disassembly, so all components can be reused after the exposition.

Park1538 Gwangyang

Park1538 is located in a city with a long history of steel. The project turns this industrial past into a cultural place open to the public and introduces visitors to the material, the process, and the history of making steel. Steel is often seen as heavy and rigid, but this project shows another side of the material by expressing flexibility through form and space. A cantilever hall creates an open plaza below, while vertical ribs guide visitors through layered spaces and link the different levels of the building.

UT5

Ut5 is an electric scooter designed for urban commuting. The form takes inspiration from supercars, with a forward-leaning silhouette, a wide stance and racing graphics. A full-metal frame provides rigidity, and the body is finished with a multi-layer paint that contrasts matte gunmetal gray with bright metallic silver. A dual-motor drive, a dual-suspension system and wide-diameter tires improve handling. A modular external battery extends the range. At the front, a steel-reinforced tube serves as a carry handle when the scooter is folded, and a steel cable lock secures parking.

Air Sync

Air Sync is a garment developed in response to increasing heat related risks affecting cities and outdoor work environments. The design organizes airflow within the internal structure of clothing to support localized thermal comfort while maintaining a stable external form. Internal airflow pathways guide cooling air toward thermally sensitive areas of the human body. This structure enables adaptation across a wide range of applications from formal wear to medical uniforms, supporting both everyday use and specialized professional environments.
