Siwei Xie – Looking Outwards – 08

Meejin Yoon is an architect, designer, and educator, whose projects and research investigate the intersections between architecture, technology, and the public realm. Prior to joining the faculty at AAP, Yoon was at MIT for 17 years and served as the head of the Department of Architecture from 2014–18. 

I admire her work that includes interactive public space projects bridging issues of technology and play in the public sphere. Her works have great variety and social values. Spanning work over the past decade, topics covered will include responsive technologies, smart materials, renewable energy, media based public art, public engagement and the public process. I admire the interactive technologies she uses in the interactive architectures. 

She uses relevant data and images effectively to help audience understand. I will incorporate this strategy and present images during my working processes.

In her speech, she backed her data with the studio established in 2001, which she pursues creative works at the intersection of architecture, art and technology. The firm is an international interdisciplinary design practice working across the domains of architecture, urban design, public space, immersive experience, and design strategy.
