Nahyun Hwang

Nahyun Hwang is a licensed architect, educator, and founding principal of N H D M, an NYC-based practice for design and research at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, and territory. The studio operates across geographies and disciplinary borders and in a wide range of scales and modes of output, often in direct dialogue with the rich complexities of the contemporary built environment. The work of N H D M has been recognized through numerous supports and awards, including the 2023 Architectural League Emerging Voices award, the 2023 and 2019 Graham Foundation Grants, the 2020 Architectural Record Design Vanguard Award, the 2019 DOMUS’ 100+ best architecture firms, the 2018 AIANY New Practices New York award, and multiple AIANY Design Awards. The firm’s work has been presented at global venues, including the 14th, 17th, 18th, and 19th Architecture Exhibitions at the Venice Biennale; the 5th and 6th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam; and Storefront for Art and Architecture, among others. The firm’s ongoing and recent work includes Bergen Arches, a 1-mile-long public space utilizing unused rail right-of-way recognized by 2025 ASLA Honor Award; a 13,000 SF art incubator for a non-profit; “Migrating Futures,” a Korean Pavilion commission for the 2023 Venice Biennale; and the forthcoming publication “Now You Belong Here: Small Island Disappearing States.”

Until founding N H D M, Hwang practiced as a Senior Associate at James Corner Field Operations and as the Lead Designer (2004-2006) and Lead Project Designer (2007-2010) for High Line Sections 1 and 2, heading a multidisciplinary team of architects, landscape architects, and others. Prior to Field Operations, she practiced at Stan Allen Architects; Herzog & de Meuron; OMA; and the studio of Rafael Moneo.

Hwang is a recipient of the Muschenheim fellowship and has taught at Cornell University, the University of Toronto, Cooper Union, and the University of Michigan. Hwang holds a Master of Architecture degree from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.
