From the North Elevation, we can see the third entrance which is where cars can drop-off and pick up the student. The entrance is overcasted by the suare building above to give it sufficient shading. The same logic applies to the main entrance appearing at the right with the Mezzenine Floor overhanging to decrease the sunlight intake from the west.
The East Elevation will be prone to face the morning sun, which is not entirely pleasant since the location of the site is generally very hot already. Therefore, the design tries to limit the amount of glass windows at this facade, and create large overahanging space to create sufficient shading for the building to not overheat.
On the South Elevation, where wind is prone to enter in most time of the year, semi-outdoor cavities are designed at the first Floor to create connectivity between the students at the KOSEN program and the KMUTT University programs. Many windows are added in this elevation to bring in natural daylight into the classroom.
The West Elevation is prone to the most heat because of the afternoon sun, which is the hottest, so the designed of this elevation is to add the least amount of openings where sunlight will directly effect the building and the people. On the First Floor, activities such as argriculture plantation zone is added for best outcome of production that needs sunlight. Thanwarat Nawong
On the left of Section A, the beam of the First Floor is enlarged to uphold the load of the agriculture platform above. Similarly, on the right, there is also an open garden where the gardening plot is added to keep the trees. Most of the space in this design is semi-outdoor with some spaces which is enclosed by glass to blurr the indoor and outdoor together.
Section B is selected to show the volume of the space where is the third entrance for the car drop-off is greeted with the triple height ceiling space before truly entering the building. This section cut is a straight cut from North to South for the ease of understanding the formation of each blocks which stacks upon one another.
