Doris Kim Sung (born 1964 in Hollywood, California) is a Korean American architect and educator. Sung serves as the Director of the Undergraduate Programs at the USC School of Architecture starting in 2020.[1][2]
Education[edit]
Sung graduated from Princeton University in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture,[3][4][5] Sung earned a Master of Architecture degree from Columbia University in 1990.[6]
Work[edit]
With a focus on smart materials, like thermo bimetals, Sung explores non-conventional architectural applications driven by geometry and her background in biology.[7] Some notable projects include Bloom, a stitched sun-tracking instrument,[8] Invert, a no-energy sun shading system exhibited at the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Museum at the California State University, Long Beach,[9][10] and Fuller, a self-structured sculpture at the South Coast Botanic Garden.[11]
Career[edit]
Sung began a tenure-track position at the University of Colorado in Denver in 1997.[12][13] During this period, Sung started her firm DOSU Studio Architecture with work predominantly in the start-up tech industry, and received several American Institute of Architects (AIA) awards for her designs.[14][15] In 2001, Doris moved to Los Angeles for a position at Southern California Institute of Architecture.[16] In 2006, she started teaching at the University of Southern California (USC). Around this time, Sung converted her practice into a research-based one. She was granted tenure from USC in 2016. She is a co-founder of TBM Designs LLC, a start-up company for smart building products that makes Invert Self-Shading Windows.[17]
Awards[edit]
The Invert window system received several innovation awards, including a 2021 National Design Awards in the Climate Action category, 2020 R&D Award from Architect Magazine,[18] and recognition by Architectural Record as a Best Architectural Product in 2019.[19] Sung was also a finalist for the Women4Climate Tech challenge in 2020.[20]
