김영배는 갑자기 떠오르는 건축적 발상에 의존하기보다는 대지에 내재된 잠재력을 발굴하고 지역성을 기반으로 자연스러운 풍경을 만들어 나가는 접근 방식을 취하고 있다. 대표작은 썸북스, 한 사람을 위한 집, 홍티 라운지, 서프하우스 등이 있다. 저서로는 <자연스레>가 있으며, 2024년 <TSK Teaching Fellowship>의 수혜자로 선정되어 서울대학교 건축학과에서 설계를 가르치고 있다.
Youngbae Kim’s architectural approach is not driven by sudden inspiration, but by uncovering the latent potential embedded in a site. His work seeks to create natural, place-ased landscapes grounded in local identity. Key projects include SomeBooks, One House, Hongt Lounge, and Surf House. to ensure a close integration between design and construction, he co-founded GJDG, a project management (PM) firm, establishing a design-build practice that carries projects through to completion. He is the author of “Naturally” and was selected as a 2024 tSK teaching Fellow, currently teaching design at the Department of Architecture, Seoul National University.
