Hi, my name is Hongkoo Yeo, and I’m currently pursuing a Master of Architecture at Georgia Tech, after earning my Bachelor of Architecture from Korea University.
My work investigates the intersection of architecture, sound, and computation — how spatial and sonic forms can share a common grammar of composition and perception. I explore how architectural geometry, auditory experience, and algorithmic systems can be understood as part of a single multimodal continuum.
Recent projects include:
Philips Pavilion Reconstruction, a computational reinterpretation of Xenakis’s and Le Corbusier’s 1958 collaboration through shape grammars and spatial audio simulation;
AI-driven studies of multimodal perception, where machine learning models are trained to interpret correspondences between visual form and sound identity;
and Shape Grammars of Hanoks, which encodes traditional Korean architecture as a generative system to study cultural and perceptual continuity.
My practice draws from both architectural computation and generative music, using tools such as Grasshopper, Max/MSP, and custom algorithms to build environments where geometry and sound inform one another. Through these projects, I seek to develop computational frameworks that unite form, sound, and cognition — what I think of as the multimodal perception of architecture.
I’m especially interested in research that situates design as a transmodal act — moving between dimensions, media, and sensory experience — and in contributing to broader conversations around sonic architectonics, algorithmic aesthetics, and total environments.
Feel free to reach me!
