[Field of Specialization]
Eco-friendly Urban/Architectural Planning and Element Technology Development, AI-based disaster prevention Architectural Planning
[Research Interest]
- Green building technology as responding to climate change: Presenting an architectural planning technique to reduce wind and flood damage based on future climate change scenarios and the predicting of the vulnerability of buildings to natural disaster.
- Breathing Architecture: Searching for solutions to living environment problems that are becoming social issues such as building energy, ventilation, and prevention of dew condensation through the optimization of Korean-style breathing building materials.
- Zero-energy architecture: exploring the possibility of a building plan support system for improving the comfort of light and thermal environments, and establishing basic data for system development.
- Proposal of design measures to improve the living environment and improve the quality of life through case studies to reduce sunlight infringement and summer heatwaves.
- Using numerical simulations and statistical techniques based on physical equations, looking for ways to optimize architectural planning variables and improve living environments in the light environment and thermal environment.
- Using the building’s natural disaster vulnerability assessment algorithm, we identify the possibility of natural disasters on the site for the building plan and seek a design plan to build a safe living infrastructure.
- Analysis of declining changes in spatial structure and architectural changes in the enforced migrant area, the representative old residential area of Busan City, and deduction of urban regeneration proposals taking this into account.
