Sang Kim, Principal Architect
Sang Kim is a Seoul-based architect and founder of ASK Architects, launched in 2022 to reimagine urban spaces through context-driven design. Raised in Auckland, New Zealand, he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in architecture with First-Class Honours from the University of Auckland. His global perspective was shaped by over seven years at OMA under Rem Koolhaas, where he contributed to major projects across Rotterdam, Doha, and New York.
ASK’s first completed project, the F&L Headquarters in Seoul, reflects Sang’s core philosophy: architecture must respond to its social, cultural, and spatial context. By rethinking conventional typologies, he creates spaces that adapt to changing needs while enhancing their environment. Through ASK, Sang continues to explore architecture’s potential to shape collective experience within the evolving urban fabric.
