About
Dr. Kyoung Sun Moon is an Associate Professor at Yale University School of Architecture. Dr. Moon’s primary research area is integration between the art and science/technology of architecture, with a focus on tall buildings. His enduring interest lies in viewing architecture from a synthetic perspective that includes rigorous technology research and a deep interest in design. He received a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with his doctoral dissertation titled “Dynamic Interrelationship between Technology and Architecture in Tall buildings.”
Dr. Moon’s research projects include “Sustainable Structural Design of Tall Buildings” sponsored by the Hines Research Fund for Advanced Sustainability in Architectural Design and “Structural Systems for Complex-Shaped Tall Buildings” supported by Korea Institute of Construction and Transportation Technology…
