Hello, I'm Yunni Cho. I'm currently based in Lausanne, Switzerland, pursuing a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID). My interdisciplinary background includes a B.F.A. in Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and dual B.A. degrees in Cognitive Neuroscience and Urban Studies from Brown University, completed through the Brown RISD Dual Degree Program (BRDD). My research explores the dynamic interplay between space, daylight, and human perception, focusing on how architectural environments influence visual attention and emotional experiences. Drawing from my architectural training, I aim to create spaces deeply connected to their cultural and historical contexts. Through my studies in neuroscience and urban theory, I investigate how people perceive, experience, and remember these environments. Art and design serve as my languages for articulating these ideas, bridging theory and practice. This website is a curated portfolio reflecting my passion for integrating space, time, and light to craft meaningful and impactful environments.
