SungYun Jang

SungYun Jang teaches in the Department of Crafts and Design at Seoul National University’s College of Fine Arts, where the focus of the research is industrial and living design and the way design curricula answer material and environmental questions. The studio work sits between object design and material experimentation.

Jang led Re:Shell, developed with SuYang Choi, Hwi Song, SeongHa Lim and YoungYun Cho, which turns discarded eggshells, rich in calcium carbonate, into modular building elements bound with red clay, wheat bran and straw. Presented in 2025 and shortlisted at the Biodesign Challenge, the system was conceived as a biodegradable alternative to conventional bricks, addressing Korea’s construction waste and the carbon footprint of cement.
