Translation

Context and Program as Architectural Vocabulary
Translation begins by isolating a spatial quality or action, then rebuilding it as form. Two studies turn sombre tranquility and reading into structures of light, shadow, and movement.

The first study translates the sombre tranquility of Mount Morak into a porous spherical structure where trees, sky, earth, reflected light, and shadow produce visual tension.

The second asks what remains spatially specific about reading when books and information are available everywhere. A sequence of compressed passages, controlled light, and open rooms turns reading into an architectural experience of withdrawal, concentration, and discovery.
