Junha (Jun(h)a) is an architect, researcher, and artist based in Cambridge, MA. She holds a Master of Architecture from MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a focus in Architectural Design from Stanford University.
Junha is part of Housewarming Workshop, a design-research collaborative based in Cambridge and Paris, co-founded with Vincent Jackow.
Currently, Junha is exploring forms of architecture that challenge assumptions about use and appropriateness across time. She is particularly interested in reimagining everyday objects, surfaces (such as chairs, stairs, and walls), spaces, and materials. In doing so, she questions existing preconceptions of normalcy, appropriation, societal conduct, comfort, and our relationship to materials and labor. She believes that somewhere between architecture, performance, and play, we can begin to break our ingrained habits and construct new, heterogeneous practices of care and solidarity.
Outside of work, Junha enjoys doing yoga, ︎drawing on people's bodies︎, reading other people’s thoughts, and resting.
