This is a graduate school application portfolio for the 2027 Interior Architecture program at SPACE, submitted by ChaeYeong Cho. It is intended for admissions committees and showcases the applicant's academic background and design work.
The portfolio opens with the applicant's education: a Bachelor's in Interior Architecture at Inje University (2023-2027) and a high school diploma from Jeonggwang High School. It lists a certificate in interior architecture and a driver's license. Research interests include public spaces, community spaces, user-centered design, spatial regeneration, adaptive reuse, and placemaking.
Project 01, 'Gaya's Void,' is a 2026 graduation project for Inje University. It proposes a cultural complex in Gimhae that reinterprets the firing process of Gaya pottery as spatial voids. The design includes a permanent exhibition, a studio for pottery experience, a drying space, a lounge for artist residency, and a store, all organized around the concept of 'voids' formed during creation.
Project 02, 'From Transit to Hub,' is a 2025 undergraduate project where the applicant served as team leader. It transforms Seaton Hall Upper Info Commons at Kansas State University from a transit space into a community hub using modular furniture.
Project 03, 'RE:MEMBER,' is a 2025 undergraduate design project exploring the adaptive reuse of closed schools for elderly welfare. It integrates place memory and biophilic design principles. An additional 2025 project, 'Gentle Monster × Kim Yeonhong,' investigates brand-art collaboration through spatial and exhibition concepts.
The portfolio also includes a 2024 undergraduate project designing a youth library under the concept 'Paper Garden,' extending the theme into surrounding landscape and exterior spaces. A research project for the Bachelor's-Master's integrated program focuses on adaptive reuse of closed schools for elderly welfare.
