Doris Kim Sung Biography

Why can't building materials be more versatile, wonders architect Doris Kim Sung? Why can't they behave like clothes or even human skin? Sung, who studied biology at Princeton University with the intention of going to medical school, now works as an assistant professor of architecture at the University of Southern California, where she integrates biological ideas into her work. She investigates architecture as a physical extension of the body, questioning the idea that structures should be immobile and climate-controlled. Rather, they should be able to self-ventilate in order to adapt to their surroundings. Sung's artwork Bloom was on display at Silver Lake, Los Angeles, in November 2011. The work is 20 feet tall and is made up of 14,000 one-of-a-kind thermo-bimetal pieces, a smart material made up of two different metals bonded together. This metal is dynamic and sensitive, curling as air temperatures increase, resulting in a breath-taking sculpture.
