Project Year: 2022
IDEA:
The main criteria of the project is to design new social housing for low income users in Din Daeng. As GFA limitation is required not to exceed 20,000 sqm, the design shall focuses on the unit design. The former building provides 47 sqm. area per unit while the new one’s requirement providing only 33 sqm.
CONCEPT:
The concept of the design is to connect the units to solve the problem of the number of users in the room and to solve the size of the unit. As most of the users have 3 to 6 members, there won’t be any problem about connecting the unit. Moreover, Grasshopper scripting is used to help generating the parametric design based on the view of the site context.
Grasshopper Script
The main idea of the scripting is the sequence of visibility. Using scripting to defy the position for the duplex unit to gain the most visibility in each floor as duplex unit has more openings than other units. Then, the second priority to gain more view shall be the triple unit. Then, use the script to defy the position of couple and single unit.
Concept Development
The concept foccuses on connecting the units as users mentioned that the former unit they lived has more area, 47 sqm. The requirement of unit’s size of the new project is maximum at 33 sqm, so the idea of create shared terrace helps increase the size of the unit for the big family type, which has 3 - 6 family members.
Mass Development
The mass building starts from spliting blocking blocking programs based on GFA. Then, uses Grasshopper to help defy the position of duplex and other units. The last step is adding the details of the building, such as rooftop, the overall form, and shared amenity area.
