Work
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]
