Research-Oriented Design

The proposal takes the tetrapod breakwater block as its architectural prototype. Originally designed to dissipate wave energy, the tetrapod is transformed from coastal infrastructure into architectural language. Through repetition and variation, the project generates towers, pavilions, and platforms that form a landscape between infrastructure and public space. The proposal explores how a functional engineering object can become a spatial and sensory experience, redefining the relationship between infrastructure, landscape, and human perception.

The project treats repeatable concrete-like elements as both model and construction logic. The object sits between a fragment, a study, and a small public device.
