Melt
Summer pavilion inspired by lava stones of Jeju Island.
APMAP 2018, AmorePacific at O’Sulloc Tea Museum Jeju.
The process of thermaforming mimics the formation of lava rock: changing the physical state of solid to liquid, back to solid. Individual panels are woven into a parabolic structure that encapsulates the movement of liquid.

2025 SEOUL BIENNALE OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM
Selected as 1 among 10 Community Creators for the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism directed by Heatherwick Studio,
we asked 50 Seoulites “If building facades were an extension of the public street, what would you like to see?”
We created a 6M x 6M visualization of ideas on what Seoulites want from facades:
solar-powered USB plugs, racks for farming, green nooks for respite, screamboxes, water catchers, among many others.
We created handmade tiles for use on the facade. Our goal is to encourage policy makers to generate incentives for more publicly-minded building skins.
Completion date: September 20251
Site: Songhyun Plaza, Seoul
Design team: Melody Song, Hwanil Chang, Daemin Kang
