몸에 좋은 건축 은 두가지 성분을 원료로 합니다.
하나는 거리입니다. 건축은 본질적으로 사람이 다른 사람과 그리고 자연과 어떤 거리를 유지하며 살아갈 것인가에 관한 고민입니다. 자원을 아끼고 환경 부하를 줄이며 사람 사이 최적의 거리를 찾는 과정에서 건축은 일생 동안 사용자에게 기쁨을 줄 것입니다.
하나는 속도입니다. 속도가 과하면 사고가 나고 속도가 약하면 정체가 생깁니다. 건축은 인공의 구조물을 통해 우리 생활 속 사건들의 속도를 조율하고 재난을 예방하며 때로는 새로운 삶의 패턴을 만들어냅니다. 사물과 사람의 속도를 이해하는 건축은 오래도록 삶을 안온하게 만들어줄 것입니다.
공들여 계획하고 알맞은 재료로 완성된 건축, 속도와 거리의 감각이 온전히 깃든 건축은 일생 동안 우리 몸과 마음을 건강하게 지켜주리라 믿습니다.

Constructing Care:
Envisioning Architecture of Measured Distances and Calibrated Pace
The architecture of care emerges through an acute understanding of two fundamental tenets: distance and pace. Distance, in this regard, is not merely a spatial measurement but an existential calibration—a strategic negotiation between individuals and the natural environment that architecture perpetually mediates. When architecture thoughtfully establishes spatial boundaries, it does more than conserve resources or reduce environmental impact; it choreographs human proximity, crafting spaces that impart lasting satisfaction through their attunement to life’s essential rhythms.
Pace, on the other hand, addresses architecture’s latent role as a moderator of temporal flow within the built environment. A well-tempered pace reframes the velocity of daily events, preventing the collision of excess and inertia alike. Here, architecture becomes an instrument of measured cadence, mitigating disruptions and proposing new modalities of engagement. By attuning itself to the speed of its inhabitants—whether individuals or objects—architecture functions as a steadfast custodian of spatial coherence, anchoring moments of stillness and dynamism alike.
In this framework, careful-ness transcends aesthetic or functional concerns; it repositions design as a practice deeply embedded in sustaining meaningful spatial relationships. Through the dual lenses of distance and pace, architecture fosters spaces that respect the intricacies of human life while maintaining a conscientious connection to the environment.
Lee Kyeong Jae Architecture Projects (LKJAP)
is a Seoul-based design practice dedicated to creating spaces that seamlessly integrate function with subtlety, responding thoughtfully to the needs of daily life and the environment. ◇ With expertise in context-sensitive solutions and a phased approach to design, we prioritize a process that brings together precision and purpose, resulting in spaces that feel both natural and enduring. ◇ Our studio operates as a dynamic task force, collaborating with partners and consultants to tackle complex projects at the urban scale. By fostering an open and forward-looking work culture, we stay engaged with contemporary needs while maintaining a vision for lasting impact. ◇ For commissions, partnerships, or career inquiries, please connect with us via email︎︎︎.
is the principal architect and visionary behind LKJAP.
Rooted in a commitment to quality of life and communal resilience, his projects blend contextual sensitivity with clarity of purpose, aiming to foster environments that resonate both functionally and socially. His recognized public projects include the Seoul Metro Jong-gak Station Extension and the Seoul National University Institute of Advanced Machines and Design, alongside numerous honors, including the TSK Fellowship Award.
His educational background reflects a deep engagement with architecture’s potential to shape meaningful interactions. After completing his B.S. in Architectural Engineering at Seoul National University, he pursued his M.Arch at the Yale School of Architecture, where his work with Frank O. Gehry and Peter Eisenman in Advanced Studios sharpened his perspective on design as a discipline grounded in both rigor and adaptability. His practice exemplifies this philosophy, crafting architecture that remains sensitive to both present needs and future possibilities.
In his role as an educator at Seoul National University and Hongik University, he teaches Algorithm-Driven Design and Advanced Design Studios, cultivating an environment where students probe the intersections of digital technology, design theory, and spatial experience. His teaching underscores a belief that architecture thrives at the intersection of innovative methodologies and human-centered thinking—a reflection of his commitment to fostering the next generation of architects.
Further extending his engagement with interdisciplinary collaboration, he is actively involved in research with the Seoul National University Hospital’s Department of Medicine & Advanced Technology. This work allows him to explore architecture’s role within complex systems, positioning his practice as one that not only designs but also questions and adapts to evolving patterns of human life and environmental responsibility.
