Conception, Aesthetic Structures
Conception is the initial vision that shapes the aesthetic structures of a city, guiding how urban spaces are perceived and experienced through their visual and sensory elements.
Representation, Urban Landscape
Representation transforms these aesthetic structures into a tangible urban landscape, where images, media, and societal influences define the way we interact with and understand the city.
Construction, Artificial Intelligence
Construction, supported by artificial intelligence, allows for the dynamic redesign and reimagination of urban landscapes, enabling cities to evolve and adapt to new cultural and technological influences.

Superimposed DTLA
DTLA is re-written as a collage of cultures. Using AI compositing, and 3D Gaussian Splatting, I superimpose visual signatures of Seoul, Tokyo, and Europe onto LA’s streets. The result is a walkable spectacle that reveals how media images construct what we call “the city.”
Transfigured Cities
I produced a film by scanning sites in Los Angeles with 3D Gaussian Splats and reconfiguring
them through AI-driven transformations based on cultural prompts, experimentally constructing
imagined cities infused with aesthetic politics, and further expanded the audience’s experience
through augmented reality, enabling immersive interaction while revisiting Guy Debord’s
Society of the Spectacle within the framework of contemporary urban aesthetics.

Hybrid Façade Model
By superimposing façades from diverse cultures onto an existing building in Downtown Los Angeles, the work creates a hybrid and multilayered urban form rather than a singular identity.
Through this process, the work reframes urban architecture not as a mere replication of reality, but as an experimental reconstruction shaped by cultural fragments.
