JK-AR is a design practice founded in 2017 by Jae K. Kim. JK-AR is a platform for design experiments. They create space and form to generate new experiences. They think of visions of human life through architecture. At JK-AR, they believe that the spirit of outstanding architecture can be felt through persistent design investigations that implement cutting-edge techniques.
JK-AR aims to rethink traditional tectonics using digital technology to produce structural forms that challenge conventional practice in design and construction. Most recently, the office focuses on recreating East Asian timber framing through interdisciplinary studies of design calculation and historical analysis. In this context, the JK-AR projects aim to constitute a novel step in the reinvention and evolution of the historic wooden structure.
