Hyojin Kwon Assistant Professor, Georgia Tech / Principal of Pre- and Post- August 29th, 12:30 pm, Reinsch-Pierce Family Auditorium Recomposing Futures: Architectural Practice as Pedagogy and Research in the Post-Digital Era Georgia Tech School of Architecture Fall Lecture Series Hyojin Kwon is an Assistant Professor in Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Architecture. She is also the Principal of Pre- and Post-, a research-oriented design practice based in Boston and Seoul. Her recent research, teaching, and projects explore how digital media transforms not only the internal methodologies of design but also broader cultural, environmental, philosophical, and socio-political contexts. She focuses particularly on the reciprocal relationship between digital media and physical artifacts shaping contemporary urbanism. Kwon has previously taught at Harvard, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania and has received prestigious awards such as the Irving Innovation Fellowship at the Harvard GSD, the MacDowell Residency, the ArtOmi Architecture Residency, and the Research Residency at the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston. Before establishing her own practice, she worked in several notable offices across the United States, South Korea, and Australia, including Populous, OMA, SOM, MILLIØNS, and Certain Measures. In her presentation, "Recomposing Futures: Architectural Practice as Pedagogy and Research in the Post-Digital Era," Kwon delves into the transformative impact of digital media and technology on architectural design. She highlights her journey through research at renowned institutions, leading computational design research at the Harvard GSD, and pioneering innovative projects through her practice. Her talk emphasizes the integration of advanced research with practical application.

Welcome to Atlanta and to the School of Architecture! Hui Cai, Michael Stradley, Hyojin Kwon, and Hugo Sheward
William H. Harrison Professor and Chair, School of Architecture, College of Design, Georgia Tech / Director, Flourishing Communities Collaborative
Even as we enjoy the long days of summer, we are also looking forward to the upcoming academic year. I am pleased to share this news about four new faculty joining us here in the Georgia Tech School of Architecture this fall. (left to right) Hui Cai, Professor, pursues research focused on using a performance-driven and evidence-based design approach to analyze the relationship between culture, human behavior, and the physical environment, especially in healthcare settings and healthy communities. Michael Stradley, 2024 Ventulett NEXT Fellow, is a designer and educator interested in the transformative, disruptive, and sometimes surprising potential of emerging and defunct technology. Hyojin Kwon, Assistant Professor, engages in research, teaching, and projects that explore how digital media transforms not only the internal methodologies of the design fields but also broader cultural, environmental, philosophical, and socio-political contexts. Hugo Sheward, Senior Lecturer, has worked in the development of design tools and software specification for the United States General Services Administration and for the implementation of BIM tools for the purpose of laboratory design.

More great news from the Georgia Tech School of Architecture! "40 under 40 2024: Yellow Jackets Who Push Beyond Boundaries." Congratulations to our two alumni, Emily Schickner (Tuttle), AIA, NCARB and James K. Holder II, for being included in this year's class in well-deserved recognition of their accomplishments. https://lnkd.in/efVRBwx5

What an amazing two years it was with Ventulett NEXT Fellow, Andrew Bruno! We can't wait to see what you do next.
I wrapped up my time as the Georgia Tech School of Architecture 2022-2024 Ventulett NEXT Fellow with an installation in the Hinman courtyard. A tower framed in dimensional lumber is surrounded by models produced as part of my research and teaching work during my time at Tech. The tower's footprint is open on all four sides to create a space for repose within the courtyard, and the larger lumber size at the base (2x8s, with 2x4s in the top layer) allows for smaller process models to be displayed on the blocking. The surrounding models sit on a custom-made pedestals aligned with the grid of the Hinman courtyard pavers.
