About
I’m Taeyoon Kim, an Associate at HKS Inc. (joined in 2025) with a strong background in computational and parametric architecture across stadiums, aviation, cultural projects, hospitality, and masterplans. Originally from Seoul, I’ve worked internationally with teams at Zaha Hadid Architects (CODE group), Populous, WATG, and AECOM, where I developed digital workflows, facade/tectonic design packages, and R&D-focused methods that connect design intent to fabrication-ready geometry.
My work often sits at the intersection of ambitious architecture and advanced computation—ranging from parametric stadium bowl/exterior concept work to delivery-stage drawing packages and consultant coordination. Highlights include contributing to the Unicorn Island parametric facade work at ZHA, supporting technology and fabrication initiatives such as the ZHA TechLab robotics prototyping setup, helping deliver Qiddiya Tennis Centre package work at Populous, and now overseeing major new stadium and sports facility developments, including projects in the US and Abu Dhabi.
