Cross
Medium

Located at the threshold between fragmented public parks and institutional grounds of KBS, Cross Medium explores how architecture can mediate between contrasting urban flows—leisure and labor, rest and transit, visibility and retreat.

The project reimagines the site as large-scale media interface, where architectural and programmatic elements foster indirect communication between visitors and workers.

Through interventions like extended plinths, layered plazas, an interactive web-based masterplan rendering the site navigable like a game, the project treats space not as static container but as active medium—one continuously organizing perception, movement, social awareness.

In the first phase, I collected contextual research from all participants in the same studio and built a web platform visualizing the combined data.

The goal was exploring how digital tools could help designers collectively understand and analyze urban context.

It questioned whether architects could use computational interfaces not just for form-making but as shared medium for reading and discussing context.

Second phase was the massing phase, when the project’s overall spatial form and concept are first defined, I aimed to communicate ideas in a more impactful way.

Using short-form video sequences inspired by TikTok, I emphasized rhythm and contrast over static form, turning early design concepts into an immediate visual experience.

By creating a short video in Blender, I visualized how the proposed remodeling of the KBS site could transform spatial perception and public experience.

The renovation of the main KBS building responds to two essential flows: visitors seeking to observe, and workers needing a space for daily operation.

These flows are embedded into the architecture through a dramatic tornado-like cut, which slices through the building mass, creating terraces and interior vistas.

This spatial gesture physically blends observer and observed, visitor and commuter, media and life.

of perception and interaction.

The project was not only occupied with organizing movement, but also with how people become aware of each other across roles— visitors and workers, observers and participants.

Spaces were shaped to allow subtle crossings: moments where visitors could observe the rhythms of production without intrusion, and workers could sense the presence of a public without disruption.
