  • Tung House

    Set in a wooded area, Tung House uses a zero-energy strategy and split-level design. Its unique roof optimizes solar orientation and passive heating and cooling.

  • Big Dig House

    This prototype house uses 600,000 lbs of steel and concrete from Boston’s Big Dig to show how salvaged infrastructure can build sustainable schools and housing.

  • Psychedelic Architecture Lecture

    Parallel to the 1960s, does today’s architecture lack a relevant movement? John Hong proposes form and allegory over function to tackle our imminent crises.

  • John Hong at Research by Design Symposium NUS

    Join international architects from Asia and Australia for a symposium on Research by Design. We explore the impact of making, design research, and the academy.

  • Tacit Struggle: Converging Architectural Experience and Sustainable Strategies

    Tung House proves that merging building science with spatial design creates a new synthesis. Its decoupled roof optimizes solar performance while transforming the interior volume and exterior typology.

  • Seoul Biennale Open Architecture Critiques

    City as Verb: Imminent Futures for Seoul’s Dongdaemun Region invites a public studio review with Marc Brossa, John Hong, and Sanki Choe.

  • Verdant Recording Studio

    A recording studio addition blends acoustic precision with rural context, shaping light, sound, and landscape into an immersive creative space.

  • Valentine Houses

    Three townhouses reinterpret the wood-frame type with double-height spaces, garden balconies, and shared roofs that blur private and communal life.

  • Interdependent Urbanism

    A performance-based zoning tool uses computation to test density, daylight, parks, and program – proving urban quality need not decline as cities grow denser.

  • Spaces of Translation

    Manhattan’s Koreatown recasts inherited fabric through cultural exchange, where street life, commerce, and identity intertwine in a dense, dialogical urban topography.

  • Existing City / New Resource

    An exhibition on nine Seoul projects shows how underused infrastructure can be recycled into new public realms, redefining the urban commons

  • Seoul Biennale International Studios Symposium

    The inaugural Seoul Biennale International Studio gathers global schools to reimagine Dongdaemun’s future through urban, social, and ecological networks.

  • Architecture and the Evolving Commons

    Architecture and the Evolving “Commons” – London and Seoul convenes leading voices to examine how new forms of the commons are reshaping both cities.

  • Preservation, Pluralism, and Adaptive Reuse

    Preservation, often seen as conservative, emerged in the 1960s as a radical act – reimagining old structures with new life to challenge linear, singular histories.
