Dear Jinhee and John,
I recently watched an E2 episode downloaded from ITUNES featuring this house rebuilt from recycled hiway materials. As an engineer by training, and a Realtor now by profession — I have to tell you, it brought tears of joy to my eyes. Your comments regarding that moment of inspiration — that you wanted to celebrate the materials — and John’s comment about suddenly seeing that you were rebuilding a hiway in a different form — well those were moments of pure genius! We have a green project out here in the San Francisco Bay Area — along the coast in the town of Pacifica– in very sensitive hill areas — called the Prospects. It is an inspired project as well — and could benefit by further pushing the envelope along the lines you have shown.
Thanks so much for showing all of us a new way!
Have you ever had issues being a Korean woman working in this field? I’m studying architecture and it seems that there are limits. I’m inspired by your work but it seems you are more the exceptional case than the normal one as I don’t see many examples. It would be good if this article could talk more about how you came to where you are. Thank you for your time.
