DOSU Studio Architecture, founded by Doris Kim Sung, is a brand that pushes the boundaries of sustainable design by bringing active systems to the forefront. They believe that buildings should be as sensitive as human skin to the changing environment. To achieve this, DOSU is developing smart materials, like thermobimetal, that can self-ventilate, sun-shade, self-structure, and self-assemble in response to temperature changes, all while using zero energy and without the need for controls.

Their research focuses on advancing the hard tech side of building design to create truly sustainable architecture. One of their key areas of exploration is the use of thermobimetal, a smart material that curls when heated. They have developed various innovative applications of this material, including responsive facades that provide self-shading, self-ventilation, and self-assembly.

Geometry plays a significant role in the development of their materials and their behavior, and computational tools are used to optimize their designs. DOSU Studio Architecture is at the forefront of creating smarter, more efficient buildings that contribute to a greener future. Contact them at info@dosu-arch.
