It is an adaptive social infrastructure that fosters collaboration, knowledge exchange, and creativity. Situated in a repurposed industrial building, the design challenges the conventional notion of a static library by introducing an open, flexible space that responds to the needs of Brooklyn’s artists. Rather than a place of quiet study, it is a fluid and dynamic environment where creative production, learning, and community engagement seamlessly coexist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/54491199-dd8d-464b-b568-6124674cc84d/Screenshot+2026-02-19+012018.png VERGE OF MAKING Historic library was once centered on books and silent reading. This projects transforms the library into an active civic infrastructure for making and collective production. Archives expand into fabrication labs, reading rooms evolve into exhibition and workshop spaces, and studio and technology areas become visible extensions of knowledge. Books remain, but within a broader ecosystem of material experimentation and public engagement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/ed108493-1ef7-4339-9a3f-2969140b5cac/floor+plan+600+2.jpg VERGE OF MAKING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/3c013b83-e2fc-4001-8b55-185691eaeba9/material+palette.jpg VERGE OF MAKING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/8a0b3f30-3435-49ba-a919-9c0a3da98205/Screenshot+2026-02-19+012118.png VERGE OF MAKING Workshop + Fabrication https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/5cd42475-e95a-4133-823d-59cab9de6dfb/Screenshot+2026-02-19+012529.png VERGE OF MAKING Reading https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/1ab1b230-c518-4753-8d01-500ae0f2da29/Screenshot+2026-02-19+012540.png VERGE OF MAKING Study https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/5002fc4e-bcda-4b39-a9e1-258842977855/Screenshot+2026-02-19+012754.png VERGE OF MAKING Material Lab https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/086ee945-6312-47e8-bcf4-5ca1cef4678d/Screenshot+2026-02-19+012303.png VERGE OF MAKING Exhibition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/d285ddf0-9677-40a7-aa76-473b6dc1fffc/Screenshot+2026-02-19+012429.png VERGE OF MAKING https://www.yejieshin.com/course-overview daily 0.75 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/8de82147-c7e7-4aac-bfee-e61d403d4d14/RESUME.jpg https://www.yejieshin.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/225e4f4b-3241-460c-be79-6ff63658d21a/Screenshot+2026-02-19+023457.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/9400acc3-ba2a-4cc9-a0eb-e3bfb902543f/Screenshot+2026-02-04+010844.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/a7da842f-c3cb-4c56-90e0-489cee8e73ca/Screenshot+2026-02-19+025817.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/5bf8bb10-7aa5-44f4-bcc7-99c8c552989e/Screenshot+2026-02-19+024733.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/11ebb8f9-38f3-4ed2-bc61-60416870e908/Screenshot+2026-03-24+221530.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/981bd426-d03a-4744-bb8f-6b2c97aecde6/Screenshot+2026-02-04+012151.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/fec6a207-67db-4e63-884a-f0e0a65fd52d/Screenshot+2026-02-04+011630.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/11252a2d-5dad-475a-92e6-6bfb5f1c4df2/IMG_9323.png https://www.yejieshin.com/saltwater daily 0.75 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/b148617f-10ef-4b44-9ff4-fdb35d1a408d/Screenshot+2026-02-19+013959.png POP-UP LEISURE It is important to spend time alone where we can reflect on ourselves and listen to the voice of our thoughts. We need a private space to call our own, rest and recharge, like our bedroom filled with what we need. This sustainable furniture of a sofa and a stool includes a structure of a pop-up book. This portable furniture brings comfort and intimacy anywhere they are carried. Ultimately, the unfamiliar place exposed to the world gives us the energy to interact with people, imbued with attachment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/d6459c06-be92-473a-a788-35ee9723a8d7/Screenshot+2026-02-19+025025.png POP-UP LEISURE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/746a8186-8b9e-4059-b169-fa0981042691/Screenshot+2026-02-19+015404.png POP-UP LEISURE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/bb6cf49a-9d71-4bd2-a287-aecebf5ccc58/Screenshot+2026-02-19+015351.png POP-UP LEISURE https://www.yejieshin.com/buyantinterdependent daily 0.75 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/48dff979-e722-42b6-8a58-741f10aa293f/Screenshot+2026-02-19+031145.png BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT Buoyant, Interdependent proposes a floating habitat where community is shaped through shared reliance rather than fixed ground. Repurposed grain silos are transformed into modular dwellings linked by collective infrastructure, supporting diverse modes of living while reinforcing social connection. Circulation paths, communal platforms, and shared resources create a spatial framework that encourages encounter, cooperation, and mutual support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/eb56ada5-4e12-4892-b129-67002b906a01/Screenshot+2026-02-19+021718.png BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT Salvaged grain silos and concrete tubs are retrofitted into buoyant structural units, forming a modular framework for floating community. Linked by shared platforms, the system promotes resource efficiency while enabling collective living. Reuse becomes both material strategy and spatial driver, supporting an adaptable habitat responsive to environmental change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/cca6f78d-8bae-4179-af15-493a82bcb586/Screenshot+2026-02-19+021727.png BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/2240ae1e-da19-49f2-97a3-c48bb0ec2070/YEJIE+SHIN_PORTFOLIO-24_page-0001.jpg BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/96883597-0913-420e-a07a-f7ab4187ede0/YEJIE+SHIN_PORTFOLIO-25_page-0001.jpg BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/82dcc065-488f-45cc-996b-4b22b599e1c2/Screenshot+2026-02-19+021844.png BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT A floating neighborhood structured by shared infrastructure, where independent dwellings are anchored within a cooperative spatial framework that supports encounter, visibility, and evolving forms of community. Organized as a field rather than a singular object, the settlement allows moments of retreat and participation to coexist — framing community not as consensus, but as an ongoing spatial negotiation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/068f4d82-c51d-4476-b5e4-66d9f623d70e/Screenshot+2026-02-19+022250.png BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT A central promenade organizes the silo dwellings into a shared social spine, where circulation becomes encounter. Soft seating clusters transform the passage into an inhabitable threshold — balancing privacy with collective life and framing community as an everyday spatial condition rather than a programmed event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/ca553de2-20cd-402a-a41c-bb30f3890dcf/Screenshot+2026-02-19+022225.png BUOYANT, INTERDEPENDENT Elevated above the waterline, the communal deck operates as an outdoor living room — a platform for informal gathering, work, and pause. Shaded yet open to the horizon, it supports a fluid overlap of domestic and civic rituals, suggesting a new model of neighborhood grounded in adaptability and shared stewardship. https://www.yejieshin.com/layeredinteraction daily 0.75 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/961f7607-16d0-4350-ad78-e63b981901cc/Screenshot+2026-02-19+021242.png LAYERED INTERACTION This project explores the intersection of public and private space through a layered geometric framework that fosters both community engagement and individual reflection. The design is inspired by the delicate balance between interaction and enclosure in urban environments, shaping spaces that collect, enclose, and entertain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/5579e011-4aa1-40b0-a34e-4e5e96306928/Screenshot+2026-02-19+021548.png LAYERED INTERACTION Guided by three operative verbs, this project explores spatial composition through iterative geometric studies. Additive and subtractive strategies shape environments that collect interaction, enclose reflection, and support occupation. Flexible boundaries and layered geometries balance openness with enclosure, fostering both collective engagement and individual retreat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/ecb676d5-b952-40fe-90cd-4ee94fc6de3a/Screenshot+2026-02-19+021359.png LAYERED INTERACTION https://www.yejieshin.com/fantasyofessence daily 0.75 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/c6eece25-09a3-495a-b2a5-6252ae01c735/Screenshot+2026-02-19+024733.png FANTASY OF ESSENCE When we meet new people, we tend to show only our beautiful part of ourselves, instead of showing our complete sides. When recognizing someone, we are fantasized by one’s appearance at a first glance.

There exist images of us that we want us to be remembered or judged by others, which is why we filter ourselves and show only our good parts. This is why we put significance to someone’s “first glance”, a consideration of something before having a change to look at it carefully. https://www.yejieshin.com/cityduplex daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/2d509157-45c7-4006-ac8a-d3f33369e328/Screenshot+2026-02-19+023457.png CITY DUPLEX City Duplex proposes a bi-level hospitality ecosystem designed to operate in dual modes: focused productivity by day, social activation by night. Developed for Pullman Hotel Berlin Schweizerhof, the concept responds directly to weekday business functionality, scalability, seamless transitions, active foyer integration, advanced technology, and sustainable circular design https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6982d882056cf218b3bd7d47/5c2555dc-2083-4c89-b6a2-c3cab67ebdf7/Screenshot+2026-02-26+171727.png CITY DUPLEX The strongest contribution is the duplex identity. Rather than creating a single-purpose meeting center, the project introduces a spatial framework that continuously adapts to shifting audiences and schedules.
