PROJECT DESIGN I 2008

khonkaen university community centre Khonkaen University Community Centre compounds approximately 10,000 sq.m, and be projected to provide multi-function uses inside Khonkaen University for students. Both old and new functions will be integrated to support all students from each faculty. Some internal part will privately be used as an area for community meeting, while others such as multi-purpose outdoor, individual study rooms will be utilized by public.

Site is located in the centre of Khonkaen University where can be seen numerous student activities in 24 hours.

Motorcycles, are the most popular private transportation in here, always create traffic congestion and pollution. therefore, this project attempts to add a new green zone as a barrier to provide a shelter and new garden, landscape to attract students to walk by. reducing the use of transportation. Encouraging pedestrain safety zone.

The considerable load of pedestain flown from north to south part needs to take into consideration. The building shapes and immidiately forces walkflow through the centre of the building where the main public acitivies like, outdoor zone and meeting zone occurred. This point will appeal naturally appeal other students to see the community work and acitivities and then need to participate later.

PROJECT DESIGN I 2009

house of joy for three architects’ family After investigating with assumed clients (lecturers) regarding basic requirement of their house. I was inspired by the fact that living together with friends is needed to find a shared part, moment and memory in the past or present.

“Playground” seems to be an inspiration for this project.

“Playground” or play area is a place with specific design for children to be able to enjoy and play with each other. It can be built indoor or outdoor space.

Modern playground often have new recreational equipments such as see-saw, merry-go-round, swingset, slide, jungle gym, chin-up bars, sandbox, spring rider, monkey bars, overhead ladder, trapezerings, playhouses and mazes, many of which helop children develop physical coordination, strength and flexibility as well as providing recreation and enjoyment.

As above, playground space will be transformed house of joy into a space that contain different types of joy and play, then expresses the shared memory space of each person in their house.

THESIS I 2010

bangkok pop music centre Lumpini Park is a 57.4-hecture park in the middle of Bangkok, Thailand. This park offers rare open public space, trees and playgrounds in the Thai capital and contains an artificial lake. Paths around the park totalling approximately 2.5 km in length are a popular area for evening joggers. Thus, this site is a multi-purpose park with various active and clam zones.

However, the first approach of this project was considered about activity of the program which is pop music. Music is the communication of culture, created by human imagination. It can mentally heal, freshen up, in short, shift moods instantly. It is a universal language for the world. No one would not disagree with the fact that Pop Music influences everyday life to everybody.

The main purpose of this project is to display what happen to Pop music in the past until present, additionally providing temporary music exhibitions and events.

However, the provision of 2 theatres for concern will be integrated with museum space, which will enhance experience perception.

In urban aspect, this project will be linked with public transportation like trains and buses, especially train station will be linked by landscape design to create an attractive approach.

Mapping Analysis

Purpose

PROJECT DESIGN I 2012

spiegeltent, sydney music festival The Lantern Theatre was initially inspired by origami - the art of folding paper from Japan. With an extraordinary shape and sapce, it has potential to generate an external skin that contains theatrical performance inside, composing an elegant interior. In addition, an elegant art of origami has been sharing an experience with theatre aspects, in terms of shifting from analog system to digital.

Generative process of The Lantern Theatre was driven by the idea of folding skin in particular focusing on the princile of folding pattern development. The iterations starts with the viable arragement of the stage and seating in different folding patterns both in plan and section. The criteria used for selecting the folding configuration consists of these factors 1. consistence of spiegeltent’s characteristic 2. properly theatical variation (theatre component) 3. the scale of structure (fabrication) 4. amazing digital form (aesthetic in digital in digital component).

PROJECT DESIGN I 2012

student housing, sustainable studio House of containers is an affordable student housing design that considerably concern on maxinmizing number of occupants, at the same time lowering a footprint as well as improving quality of life. Our first attempt is to maximize a sharing space among individual spaces where student will participate, communicate and interact with each other.

Using the notion of compact design is a main idea of the design. Bedroom sizee were shinked down into compact propotion, but provide enough room for private activities.

While sharing space like common room will be widened to comfort tanants and phylogically encourage social engagement and interaction.

Structually, we introduce the modular construction systems - used containers - to reduct cost of construction and allow a quick construction process. This helps deceasing energy consumption and expenses on site work.

Urban response, passive design such as overshadowing, sun gain, pattern and activity consistence were considered as a part of the program. community and university will have some sort of sharing zone and some coraborating activities to support each other

PROJECT DESIGN I 2013

pavillion for sculpture by the sea The design was conceived from sky down, how could we achieve a powerful site demarcation without the need to build wowers to send out a powerful yet playful image.

Helium Balloons seemed the perfect solution. Then next step to sysnthesise the architecture with the floating ballon.

We deemed the previous technique of mirroring the rough geometry contained within the could of balloons with the structure below. But management of such a large quality of balloons we deemed impractical.

For our current design we decided to build an architecture that was expressive of the physical uplift froces while still having a sense of the artificial object. While using a very form the architecture is able to express an informality through its playful expression of traditional carpentry method via the externalised structural skeleton.

GRADUATION PROJECT I 2013 national centre for cultural competence The main aim of this project is to establish the space of connection that provides an opportunity of sharing between other cultures to show the unity of NCCC within multicultural country atmosphere INHERITED BUILT FORM

The painting palatte is a metaphor of architecture in which activate possibility of connection and eventually produce a new color. The real color of culture become subtle in the atmosphere which avoid dominent of identity possession.

As a result, the centre would provide new connections between people with people and people in different cultures, or with place and city.

The programs of NCCU consist of many public facility but private space also need to be linked with public areas such as Exhibition Community area, Ceramony and Performace. These functions are used by the same users and constantly flow over the time. It is a dynamic component that displays what is going on at NCCC. The consolidation scheme would achieve and overcome the issue about the constant flow of connection.
