'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.

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.

Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
Segui gli aggiornamenti di Instagram discretamente proteggendo la tua privacy e restando anonimo.
Guarda profili e foto in modo anonimo facilmente usando il Visualizzatore di profili privati.
Questo strumento gratuito ti permette di visualizzare le storie di Instagram in modo anonimo, garantendo che la tua attività rimanga nascosta dall'utente che carica la storia.
Anonstories consente agli utenti di guardare le storie di Instagram senza avvisare il creatore.
Funziona senza problemi su iOS, Android, Windows, macOS e browser moderni come Chrome e Safari.
Garantisce una navigazione sicura e anonima senza richiedere credenziali di accesso.
Gli utenti possono visualizzare storie pubbliche semplicemente inserendo un nome utente—nessun account richiesto.
Scarica foto (JPEG) e video (MP4) facilmente.
Il servizio è gratuito.
Il contenuto degli account privati è accessibile solo ai follower.
I file sono destinati solo a uso personale o educativo e devono rispettare le normative sul copyright.
Inserisci un nome utente pubblico per visualizzare o scaricare storie. Il servizio genera link diretti per salvare i contenuti localmente.
