The Open Studio is a dedicated space where students from the second to the fifth year who are enrolled in design courses can carry out their individual work. This space is arranged as a single, open studio, which allows for free and active communication among students. The open layout promotes the exchange of ideas and occasionally serves as a venue for student-led exhibitions.

The studio is equipped with a sufficient number of individual desks, as well as personal lockers and shelves, providing a basic environment for independent work. It also includes shared resources such as whiteboards, printers for simple outputs, and a spray booth for model making, accommodating various working methods.

For student convenience, the studio remains open 24 hours during the academic semester and is also accessible during breaks upon request for competitions or extracurricular activities.

The Architectural Library is a dedicated resource room for architecture students, operating as an open-access facility. As of 2025, the library holds approximately 5,167 volumes, including domestic and international books and periodicals covering a wide range of fields such as architectural design, architectural engineering, urban studies, and landscape architecture.

To ensure a comfortable reading environment, the library is equipped with computers, scanners, and printers, making it easy to search for and duplicate materials. It also features a dedicated space for using VR equipment and a photo studio. Additionally, tables with smart TVs are available for small meetings or video viewing.

Students who wish to access materials can visit the library and consult the teaching assistant (librarian) on duty for assistance. Please note that materials are for on-site use only and cannot be checked out for external borrowing.

The Exhibition Hall is located at the center of the 7th floor of the Engineering Building and occupies the second-largest area after the architectural design studio. This space is flexibly utilized not only as an exhibition area but also as a lounge, workspace, and lecture room. It is furnished with movable and connectable furniture such as tables and display stands, allowing the layout to be freely configured according to students’ purposes and needs—one of its key advantages.

During periods when no exhibitions are being held, the Exhibition Hall is open to students outside of class hours, allowing them to relax during their free time or use it for self-directed study. As a comfortable space with ample natural light, it serves as an open learning area where students can interact and spend time in a self-guided atmosphere.

Additionally, if individuals or small groups wish to hold exhibitions or small-scale events, the seminar room is available for use. In such cases, a request form must be submitted to the department office or the designated teaching assistant for prior approval, and availability is determined based on the schedule and purpose of use.

The Seminar Room areas consists of six rooms in total and serves as the primary space for architecture students from sophomore to senior year (2nd to 5th year) to conduct their design studio classes. Each Seminar Room is designed with a flexible structure that can accommodate approximately 10 to 20 students and is dynamically assigned based on the academic schedule and class needs of each year group through a rotation system.

Various design studio-related activities take place in the Seminar Rooms, including regular desk critiques and pin-up presentations. Occasionally, the space is also used as a lecture room for major theory courses. During midterm and final evaluations, multiple Seminar Rooms are combined and converted into presentation and evaluation venues. When necessary, two or more Seminar Rooms may be connected to create a larger unified space.

These spaces are accessible not only during the academic semester but also during vacation periods through a designated application process. In particular, they are available for use by students preparing for competitions, external activities, or personal projects through prior reservation.

The Digital Fab Lab is a space for experimental architectural design and fabrication that integrates robotics, artificial intelligence, and bio-materials.

This lab explores a new architectural paradigm called the Building-as-Living-System by incorporating a wide range of technologies, including 3D/4D printing, robotics, material experimentation, and deep learning.

The Digital Fab Lab is equipped with two clay printers, one composite material printer, and one plotter. The entire process from design to fabrication is carried out using tools such as Rhino-Grasshopper, Python, and simulation/data analysis software.

The plotter is provided free of charge for official department use. For personal projects or external purposes, additional fees apply. Regardless of purpose, all users must contact the designated teaching assistant in advance to complete a reservation. After use, all equipment must be cleaned and output materials retrieved.

The Models Room is a practical space equipped with various tools and machinery necessary for architectural model making. It houses four laser cutters, as well as a range of other equipment such as saws, drills, and foam cutters. The workshop supports a variety of production activities including architectural design courses, competitions, and individual projects. Students may use the equipment by following the provided guidelines.

To use the laser cutting machine, students must follow the designated laser cutting system procedures and make a reservation in advance through the online booking system. The reservation system can be accessed via the tag at the bottom of the information page. For the safe and efficient use of the equipment, regular user training sessions are also provided.

The workshop includes a dedicated storage area for students’ personal 3D printers, with capacity for up to 23 units. Each shelf is equipped with a power outlet. Applications for the use of this space are accepted when available, and selected users are required to follow the usage regulations.

Other hand tools and machinery can be used by contacting the teaching assistant and making a reservation. A full list of available tools can be found inside the workshop.

The Photo Room is a dedicated photography space located within the Architecture Library, designed for detailed photography of architectural models and various objects. It is equipped with a range of lighting equipment to highlight the unique features of each subject, making it a valuable resource for students preparing portfolios or submitting assignments. (Please note that students must bring their own cameras.)

To use the Photo Room, students must consult the teaching assistant on duty at the library in advance, and follow the staff’s guidance when using the equipment.

The Robot Arm Room is a space dedicated to automated fabrication experiments and research on robotic applications in architecture, centered around the ABB IRB 2600 industrial robotic arm, which has a maximum reach of 1.85 meters. This robotic arm is designed to accommodate various end-effectors, allowing for the attachment and exchange of devices such as wire cutters, pickers (grippers), and 3D extruders depending on the task. As a result, it supports a wide range of complex operations—including cutting, layering, transferring, and assembling—offering a high-precision, high-efficiency digital fabrication environment.

It is equipped with a dedicated workstation and interface devices for robot control, safety equipment, and a computer-based environment for simulation and programming. The Robot Arm Room aims to explore new methods of fabrication and design through the convergence of architecture and robotic technology, including digital fabrication, biobased material printing, and structural testing. It also serves as a critical space for experimenting with the future potential of automated architectural systems.
