I AM AN ARCHITECT
Quite an Active Rookie
Kim Yeram (Kim): Thank you for inviting us to visit the site of your current project.
Lee Dami (Lee): We are at a small villa in Sindang-dong, Seoul. An acquaintance requested that I renovate this house. The building is quite old, so there are a lot of places where the horizontal and vertical structures of the space don’t match. But it makes me interesting. I straightened out some parts of the them. Also I’m making a furniture fit with the old wooden window.
Kim: This project has yet to be featured on your website. Instead, we learnt about the types of architecture firms in which you have previously worked. What were your standards as a novice when deciding where to work?
Lee: Since my college days, I interned and worked part time to gain valuable experience at guga urban architecture, KYWC Architects, Hyupdongone and Society of Architecture. In graduate school or after graduation, I worked at Junya.Ishigami+Associates and Jon Lott, Para-Project, and went to a lot of places very briefly. Having worked in small firms, I found myself wanting to learn architecture
