'Open33'
Architecture suspended as a rigid index.Thirty three spatial coordinates dictate a temporary pavilion. Each wood support punctured by a specific 팔괘 (pal-gwae) hexagram. The void filters light and dictates structural friction while anchoring human weight.
Spatial logic moves in the opposite direction. It flattens. Extracting the radial sequence from site and cut directly into metal. A permanent map of negative space. The mass is removed but resonance remains.
Post dismantle. The architecture fractures into two opposing records. Plywood piled on the floor, the patina exposed. A dense accumulation of labour.

OPEN SKY TEMPLE (2026) Winning Entry
A timber pavilion commissioned by What If Festival that explores the translation of the Sam Tae Guk symbol into a moment of focused presence.

On the prairie, wind is sculptor. It carves sastrugi, dynamic ridges and sharp edges that make winter hostile. The same elemental forces that create barriers on Winnipeg’s winter river become the very materials of gathering and wonder. Hostility, reimagined as sanctuary.
Design for a warming hut.

Pavilion for ROBOTMADE 2025 workshop, now installed at the UBC campus. Component based structural system for doubly curved surfaces - utilizing bending elasticity of plywood to create curvature.
Designed, programmed, and fabricated using 7-axis KUKA via GH.

Installation Trailer
Past exhibition @vivomediaarts June 19-29
Different moments of laser visualization of body movements, where the aim was to visualize the human body and the dancers movements in ways that we can’t perceive easily but the presence of the body is still felt.

Fading glyphs
Rapid Laser projection mapping onto 96 screens suspended in the air specifically mapped to the joints from three bodies, each individually painted with a phosphorescent UV reactive paint leaving a fading afterimage of the previous movement. This particular section pushed the laser software to its maximum capacity often crashing the system during the process, we wanted to create an experience where you can feel the body within the structure and create moments where you can sense time as the fleeting glyphs of the body eventually disappears to again reappear into a new form
Today is the last day to experience ARRAY @vivomediaarts 4pm-8pm thank you again for the whole team couldn’t asked for more and momentum effort to bring this project together, looking forward to the next work as we continue explore.

Der Instagram Story Viewer ist ein einfaches Tool, mit dem Sie Instagram Stories, Videos, Fotos oder IGTV heimlich ansehen und speichern können. Mit diesem Service können Sie Inhalte herunterladen und offline genießen, wann immer Sie möchten. Wenn Sie etwas Interessantes auf Instagram finden, das Sie später überprüfen möchten, oder Stories anonym ansehen möchten, ist unser Viewer ideal für Sie. Anonstories bietet eine ausgezeichnete Lösung, um Ihre Identität zu schützen. Instagram hat die Stories-Funktion erstmals im August 2023 eingeführt, die schnell auch von anderen Plattformen übernommen wurde, dank ihres fesselnden, zeitlich begrenzten Formats. Stories ermöglichen es Nutzern, schnelle Updates zu teilen, sei es Fotos, Videos oder Selfies, ergänzt durch Text, Emojis oder Filter, und sind nur 24 Stunden lang sichtbar. Dieser begrenzte Zeitrahmen sorgt für eine hohe Interaktion im Vergleich zu regulären Posts. Heutzutage sind Stories eine der beliebtesten Methoden, um sich in sozialen Medien zu verbinden und zu kommunizieren. Wenn Sie jedoch eine Story ansehen, kann der Ersteller Ihren Namen in seiner Viewer-Liste sehen, was ein Problem für die Privatsphäre sein kann. Was ist, wenn Sie Stories durchsuchen möchten, ohne bemerkt zu werden? Hier wird Anonstories nützlich. Es ermöglicht Ihnen, öffentliche Instagram-Inhalte anzusehen, ohne Ihre Identität preiszugeben. Geben Sie einfach den Benutzernamen des Profils ein, das Sie interessiert, und das Tool zeigt dessen neueste Stories an. Funktionen des Anonstories Viewers: - Anonymes Browsen: Sehen Sie Stories, ohne in der Viewer-Liste zu erscheinen. - Kein Konto erforderlich: Sehen Sie öffentliche Inhalte, ohne ein Instagram-Konto zu erstellen. - Inhalte herunterladen: Speichern Sie beliebige Story-Inhalte direkt auf Ihrem Gerät für die Offline-Nutzung. - Highlights anzeigen: Greifen Sie auf Instagram-Highlights zu, auch über das 24-Stunden-Fenster hinaus. - Repost-Überwachung: Verfolgen Sie Reposts oder Interaktionen bei Stories für persönliche Profile. Einschränkungen: - Dieses Tool funktioniert nur mit öffentlichen Accounts; private Accounts bleiben unzugänglich. Vorteile: - Datenschutzfreundlich: Sehen Sie sich beliebige Instagram-Inhalte an, ohne bemerkt zu werden. - Einfach und unkompliziert: Keine App-Installation oder Registrierung erforderlich. - Exklusive Tools: Laden Sie Inhalte herunter und verwalten Sie sie auf eine Weise, die Instagram nicht bietet.
Behalten Sie Instagram-Updates diskret im Blick, schützen Sie Ihre Privatsphäre und bleiben Sie anonym.
Sehen Sie Profile und Fotos anonym an, ganz einfach mit dem Private Profile Viewer.
Dieses kostenlose Tool ermöglicht es Ihnen, Instagram Stories anonym anzusehen und dabei Ihre Aktivität vor dem Story-Ersteller zu verbergen.
Anonstories ermöglicht es Nutzern, Instagram-Stories anzusehen, ohne den Ersteller zu benachrichtigen.
Funktioniert nahtlos auf iOS, Android, Windows, macOS und modernen Browsern wie Chrome und Safari.
Priorisiert sicheres, anonymes Browsen, ohne Login-Daten zu benötigen.
Nutzer können öffentliche Stories ansehen, indem sie einfach einen Benutzernamen eingeben – kein Konto erforderlich.
Lädt Fotos (JPEG) und Videos (MP4) mühelos herunter.
Der Dienst ist kostenlos nutzbar.
Inhalte von privaten Accounts sind nur für Follower zugänglich.
Dateien sind nur für persönliche oder Bildungszwecke und müssen Urheberrechtsregeln entsprechen.
Geben Sie einen öffentlichen Benutzernamen ein, um Stories anzusehen oder herunterzuladen. Der Dienst generiert direkte Links, um Inhalte lokal zu speichern.
