Partners

Jiyoung Jon is the Co-Principal Architect of Hyunjoon Yoo & Partners since 2018 and a licensed architect in Korea.

She holds a degree in architecture from Dankook University and a master’s degree from the graduate school of Hongik University.

Her early career includes formative experiences at Changjo Architects and the internationally renowned Los Angeles-based firm MORPHOSIS.

These diverse settings allowed her to build a robust design sensibility grounded in both conceptual clarity and technical rigor.

Her project experience ranges from large-scale cultural and mixed-use developments to intimate religious and residential buildings, reflecting her versatility and ability to navigate complex programs and contexts.

She has been particularly engaged with projects that integrate architecture with urbanism and landscape, drawing from a broad interest in how built environments shape human relationships and social systems.

At Hyunjoon Yoo & Partners, she plays a key role in bridging design vision with execution, ensuring that each project not only reflects the firm’s philosophy—“architecture designs relationships”—but also resonates with its users and the surrounding context.
