Case Study
3D Artworks
During my academic training in Architectural Technology, I pursued both professional practice and academic design work to develop a balanced understanding of technical coordination, digital modeling, and architectural visualization. While studying architecture-related disciplines, I temporarily stepped away from formal coursework to gain hands-on experience through an interior design internship in Busan, South Korea, while continuing to refine conceptual and technical 3D design skills through architectural projects completed at a Canadian post-secondary institution.
Throughout this period, my work consistently focused on the translation of architectural information into clear, accurate, and communicative digital outputs. In professional practice, I was responsible for interpreting 2D AutoCAD floor plans and transforming them into coordinated 3D spatial models that reflected dimensional accuracy, zoning logic, and design intent. These models were used both as internal coordination tools and as client-facing visualization materials.

3D Rendering Works (Vray, Twinmotion)
2013 – 2026
Conceptual Artworks
High-quality renderings were produced using 3DS Max and V-Ray, with careful attention to lighting conditions, material behaviour, and spatial atmosphere. Final presentation images were further refined through Adobe Photoshop, allowing technical information to be communicated in a visually accessible manner.
In addition to modelling and rendering, I supported interior zoning strategies, lighting layouts, colour coordination, and material selection, ensuring that spatial proposals aligned with functional requirements and client expectations.
Multicultural Complex Facade Design
A rhythmic facade concept for a cultural multiplex that translates music and visual cadence into architectural expression.
Urban Cultural Shopping Centre
A landmark cultural shopping center shaped by layered horizontal curves and a transparent curtain wall to amplify daylight and form.
Exterior Pavilion Corridor Design
A wooden pavilion corridor filters sunlight, softens spatial transitions, and seamlessly blends architecture into the surrounding landscape.
A Contemporary Gallery Cafe
A flexible gallery cafe that blends exhibition display with everyday comfort through brand-driven colours and strategic circulation.
A Luminous Book Cafe
A bright, cozy book cafe renovation that expands a compact interior using reflective materials, indirect lighting, and soft curved forms.
The Adaptive Hotel Lobby
A multifunctional hotel ground floor where cafe and reception coexist through modular planning and a calm urban-retreat atmosphere.
Alongside professional work, my academic training in Canada emphasized the role of 3D modeling as a design-development and technical communication tool, rather than solely as a presentation output. Conceptual 3D projects explored massing, circulation, and spatial hierarchy while maintaining awareness of constructability and drawing coordination at an early design stage. These projects strengthened my ability to convert abstract concepts into technically structured digital models within an iterative and collaborative academic environment.
Collectively, these experiences enhanced my proficiency in drawing interpretation, spatial coordination, and visual communication, forming a solid technical foundation aligned with the responsibilities of an Architectural Technician.
