UNLV Landscape Architecture Design/Build Project
The interesting process to design on a landscape architecture project in UNLV :)
"During the beginning of our 3rd year, we had to design and build an itinerate patio in about a week. One large constraint was that we were not allowed to break the ground plane (no digging). The video takes you through the three design concepts, our ultimate design, and the finished project. " (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzJSYQcwlbk)

Paper city - Urban utopias
Photographs by Bo-Kyung in 2009
It was an exhibition in Royal academy of arts in October and drawings were displayed in a small gallery. Actually, I was excited to see this exhibition when I saw the title, paper city but it was more likely to a collection of drawings like cartoons which were created based on the title urban utopia. I would rather to see modells and drawings with paper such as paper craft things like that and almost every works were from imagination about urban utopia so they were quite abstract.
I am so sorry Goodbye

"I am so sorry Goodbye" - Heather and Ivan Morison , Barbican Centre, 16. OCT. 09
When I saw the project, I just came up with a thought as several words about what I could see on a first experience of it, Wood, Light and Space as a shelter for people.
Kingston Uni MA degree show 2009
Photographs by Bo-Kyung in 2009
09. OCT. 2009, I went MA degree show near oxo tower in central London. There were various art pieces in a small gallery building and interesting course works were illustration, communication design and film design, moreover, it was fabulous to have a chance to see what kind of design there are at Kingston university and what they have as a final master piece different from BA course. Various works gave me inspiration about how to display projects effectively for an exhibition and what I can have as ways to show my project to help visitors, students and tutors to understand and enjoy as well. But the only one thing that I disappointed by this show was the fact that there were only three works in Landscape Architecture and Architecture part.......I expected a lot more than what I have seen in BA Degree show in 2009...Anyway, There were some interesting and brilliant works which I really pleased to watch.
musée Rodin
Photographs by Bo-Kyung in 2009
I visited Rodin Museum in Paris last summer and it was the first time to have a bit different way to enjoy art in outdoor space. I think it is a great method to make people walk around not only in the gallery of the building but also in gardens because the main features of the museum are Auguste Rodin's magnificent sculptures. Sculptures are well displayed surrounded by dark green trees which seemed to be background of art pieces in gardens.
Xstrata Tree Top Walkway
Photographs by Bo-Kyung in 2009
In Kew gardens, known as the royal botanic gardens in Britain has added a new walkway on treetop to attract visitors and serve new feature of Kew.
I could walk through on tree top after several visits finally and it was very interesting to look around with different view from ordinary experiences on the ground surrounded by trees so there are great view up there and it gave me fresh lansdcape of Kew. I have thaught about why they have made this structure with metal in the middle of green areas which are full of natural features and guess it may be for sustainability and safty for visitors????well... I do not exactly know and could not find that details but it is true that Xstrata tree top walkway works well in Kew gardens and become a fabulous attraction to visit gardens anyway.
