Beyond his architectural practice, Cho is an active lecturer and speaker at symposiums. He has also co-curated the 2011 Gwangju Design Biennale and was the commissioner and co-curator of the Korean Pavilion for the 14th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, awarded the Gold Lion for Best National Participation.
