Dongjun DJ Seo 徐銅晙

What drives DJ to dedicate to Architecture? Why does he continue to study about people among culture in and through ideas of "life"? DJ believes that there is no activity more than Architecture, that is 100% objective and 100% subjective at the same time, which ultimately makes it one of the most creative and influential works on earth. My study through academic and professional career is largely involved with the idea of 5 Ds. The experience in 3-dimensional SPACE incorporated with TIME is reconstructed and transformed through the personal and social MEMORY. Thesis work, "Pyknoleptic Hands" at University of Michigan, 2009, and many other academic works, have been establishing the "researh platform" to allow intensive and extensive study on the 5D and you.
