Seoyoung Lee is a designer whose work bridges the disciplines of industrial design, contemporary practice, and critical discourse. She holds a Master's degree in Industrial Design from Seoul National University of Science & Technology, with a focus on research in design research in the New Space Age. She is currently studying Contemporary Design at Aalto University. Lee's design practice is founded on her interpretation of space as both a material entity and a philosophical framework. She explores the transformation of terrestrial materials, such as ceramics and glass, questioning fundamental assumptions about origin, belonging and temporality. In her current work, she approaches space as a medium for collecting and diluting contradictions.

    Research Through Art & Design course introduces a variety of approaches, methodologies, issues and concerns in research through practice. In this course, research through practice refers to a broad continuum of artistic research approaches, arts-based, practice-led and -based research approaches, including also constructive design research approaches that are relevant across practices in Aalto University ARTS School of Arts, Design and Architecture. This exposition was created within an Artistic Practice Workshop offered as an additional part of the main course. During this part of the course, the students are familiarised with the Research Catalogue. During the workshop, participants work on their page within a group exposition, drawing connections between the creative and the given or discussed literature from the course and their creative practice.
