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 standard 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
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 encode traditional Korean architecture as a generative system for studying 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 out to me!
