In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Heagi Kang, co-founder and design principal at Andmore Partners based in Los Angeles, CA.Heagi (Hyeung Seok) Kang, AIA, is a co-founder and design principal at Andmore Partners in Los Angeles, which he started in 2015 with Sean Mo. His professional career began with an internship at Eric Own Moss Architects and evolved into 14 years of residential and commercial experience working at GMPA Architects (previously GMP), Mix Studioworks, and AC Martin + TSM. Prior to studying architecture, Heagi navigated several different fields, starting from social welfare at Yonsei University in Seoul and anthropology and fine art at the University of Oregon (Eugene). While he was in the master’s program at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in Los Angeles, he took two international programs, collaborating with a studio at The Berlage in Rotterdam and another in Kyoto Seika University in Japan. Heagi's interdisciplinary studies and varied hands-on architectural experiences allow him to shape his own way of seeing a design. His fundamental process provides a deeper understanding and critical path of thinking compared to the typical design process. Heagi believes that creativity originates from finding, discovering, and combining two or more different things, rather than inventing a new thing that never existed. In that sense, as an architect, he values hidden or ignored elements that can open the possibilities to embrace our lifestyle through the quality of spaces. Heagi also approaches “architecture as a developer,” which is not the traditional role of the architect. He believes this approach helps find a balance between financial feasibility and architectural rightness. More from Heagi Kang: Website: https://www.a-n-d-m-o-r-e.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andmore_partners/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heagi-kang-343a1367/ More from us: Website: http://www.trentbell.comInstagram: http://instagram.com/trentbellphotography/

Alan is a builder by trade and the owner and general manager of GO Logic LLC. Alan founded the business with architect Matthew O’Malia in 2008 with the sole purpose of designing and building Passive House buildings. After finishing his degree at Brown University, Alan landed in Maine in the late ‘80s as an organic farm apprentice, then bought 75 acres of land and built his own house. From there his carpentry work evolved into a general contracting business where, in spite of some resistance, he encouraged as much energy-efficient design as possible. Eventually the high-performance concept caught on, and when Passive House arrived it codified much of what he’d been trying to do all those years. Alan is a Certified Passive House Builder and Designer. He is secretary of the board of directors of Passive House Institute US and the Passive House Alliance US. He lives with his family on a farm in Belfast, Maine. More from Alan Gibson: Website: https://www.gologic.us/team Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-gibson-57625271/  More from us: Website: http://www.trentbell.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/trentbellphotography/ 

Tiarra Bell's Bio: The core of my work is an external reflection of my internal thoughts. I am interested in making furniture that does not only focus on aesthetics but rather creating a body of work that tells a story and communicates a message. I express the inexpressible by using my Biblical beliefs as a premise for my artistic expression. I'm able to translate those verbalized beliefs into something that is visual and tangible. I’m intrigued by how something that’s not visual, such as words, ideologies, or ethics can become something that you can plainly see, and touch.

David Duncan Morris is the Director of Design at an award-winning architecture firm in Portland, Maine. Starting from a young age David’s love for houses is what inspired him to pursue architecture and he was often seen drawing whenever he could. Outside his professional life, he picks up his paper, pencils and watercolors to feed his own creative drive and to keep his love of drawing alive. The intent of his drawings is not to perfectly render a building but to capture the spirit of the building in a loose and expressive manner. He prefers to draw on site, but if distance and weather prevents this he can draw from photographs. David lives with his partner Justin, and their dog in the beautiful coastal town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine. More from David Morris: Website: https://dduncanmorris.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidduncanmorris/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-duncan-morris-aia-ncarb-36309855/ More from us: Website: http://www.trentbell.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/trentbellphotography/ Podcast: https://architecture-design-photography.simplecast.com/ Sign up for our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/trentbell/4gxv31ifsz
