About
Jae Wan Park is a design researcher and educator whose work sits at the intersection of interactive architecture, kinetic systems, and digital design pedagogy. Park's scholarship focuses on the emerging field of responsive and adaptive building skins, with particular emphasis on how kinetic motion and media technologies can be meaningfully integrated into architectural facades. His 2013 paper on interactive kinetic media facades introduced a pedagogical design system supporting virtual-physical prototyping environments, reflecting his commitment to bridging theoretical frameworks — including general systems theory and cybernetics — with practical design education. His earlier 2011 work established a tectonic approach for incorporating kinesis into building design, helping to fill a critical gap in design principles for interactive skins during the digital architecture era. Collectively, these contributions have earned Park recognition within the architectural and design research community, with his papers accumulating citations that underscore their influence on how designers and educators approach responsive architecture. For students exploring the convergence of computation, fabrication, and urban media, Park's research offers foundational frameworks for understanding how buildings can become dynamic, interactive participants in contemporary city life.
