Workshop (International)

Living with Water Can urban design helps bringing back the memories of water culture to the community?

2014 Between FACMUx ENSA Paris Belleville

This urban design project combines collaboratively between hypothesis and reality / local thinkers and thinkers from a different cultural background together aimed for the same thing, to preserve what’s about to disappear and bring back what used to be a ‘life’ of people in the Mae Kha community - water.

With a hypothesis done in Paris by our French members, the team proposed to create a path from the Mae Kha, local community by the river to pass through a busy traffic road to connect with the Ping river.

The path will be a bridge - high enough to serve people to evacuate where there is big flood (happens regularly in the area) and along the path shall be the nodes with additional programme that is suitable with context on each spot.

Misty Mount Hotel Can a Building Facade be derived from mountains and perform as a passive device for heat insulation?

2015 City surrounded by mountains are shaded by clouds.

Clouds, Mountains and Mist are what I see of Chiang Mai Architectural Design Studio

The Misty Mount Hotel - inspired by the scenery I always see every morning I drive pass the site. The facade that functions as a shading device, at the same time imitates clouds in the sky by its curvy form.

Every guest room faces the north, which gives light but not heat.

The front of the ground floor area has a waterfall to unify the space.

Final Physical Model

With help of parametric computer design programmes, I was able to take a photographs of Chiang Mai Mountains, repainted the important elements in Photoshop and create several extrusions with algorithms.

It became what I pictured in my head before.

However, I redrew the curvy forms in Auto-CAD by myself in order to give a craftsmanship to the design and eventually, it can represent layers of curvy mountains when looking both from plan and sectional view.

Ground Floor Plan

The most difficult part of designing a high-rise building is building system.

I decided to place the main building system in the back of the site with a separate drive in way for service.

To go along with the main concept of the hotel, mountains. The public area space represents and can be perceived as gorges.

Workshop

Marshmallows Town Can an ideal residence for the future city be small and provides food?

2015 From Background to New Found

A workshop that enhanced my views of things by extracting the cores out of every element of the context, it is easier to come up with fresh and new ideas - then hybridizing to propose a model for the future The Marshmallows Town is a brighter and more sustainable future of our local area in Chiang Mai. We predicted the future scenarios of the place in 50 years when the area becomes very densed and lacks of resources.

Taking the cores of existing contextual elements, we then made hybrid ideas and tried to implement them. It turns out to be an interesting solution in which may or may not happen but totally worth knowing.

Competition (1st Prize)

Bike Balanced Can we reduce bicycle accidents by changing the way we stop at the intersection?

2015 Cycling Architecture Design Contest

Thinking from the existing cycling problems in Chiang Mai + information from the given site / we proposed a model solution which can also be applied to other areas with the same condition In the sake of decreasing bicycle accidents, we discovered that this specific junction has overloaded visual distractions, therefore the causes of accidents are somewhat unseen. Proposing moving the advertising banners to situate nearby the traffic lights where everyone must pay attention to, in this way no side loses benefits. Trying to improve the system through human behaviours, I think that’s why the proposal really had an impact in the jury.

The Team was awarded the 1st Prize

Along the super highway road, we proposed to create a small expanded space in order to let the bikers who are faster, pass through slower bikers. The road heights also

shouldn’t be the same to prevent the cars from taking over the bike lanes.

Speaking of hierarchy you can see that walking is mostly appreciated, bikes and cars followed in order.

Chapel of the Forbidden True Love How do you express love and tragedy of a famous folk story through architecture?

2014 Inspired from the Lanna tales of tragedy Architectural Design Studio 16

‘MAMEAR’(มะเมี้ยะ) to embark the senses around the bittersweet love The starting point for this project was defined by keywords I extracted in my views from the story (MEETINGINTEGRATING-DEPARTING-REMEMBERING) Expressed through charcoal drawings then developed into 3D models.

Taking the selected model, combining with the programmes about love and context of a given site (Mae Sot, Tak); the project derived into a chapel to celebrate integrating people through weddings and a cave to reach a peaceful state of mind in order to remember the love ones who passed away.

3D Study Models

With this project, I strongly wanted to focus on expression of emotions because I was very drawn into this tragic love story between two lovers from different social backgrounds, therefore I decided to make sketches of expressions

with charcoal. I choose charcoal as a medium because it has a smudging quality when rubbed with hands and those smudges create a sense of blurriness and dreams.

The sketches were done under 4 keywords extracted from the story.

Natural Lighting Design for the Chapel

In order to make the building suitable with the climate condition of the context. Tak Province of Thailand has overall the same climate condition as the whole country. It’s hot and very humid. Therefore, the building should be logical for tropical condition.

I focused on the passive design strategy for the whole site. Particularly with the chapel, it must be able to breathe and also Lighting design is very crucial in Christian religious building because it symbolizes god The chapel is oriented with an small opening towards The southwest, which would let the morning light when it’s crowded with people to go through, bouncing indirect light to the back drop of the altar.

For the both sides of the seating area, I created openings which from the entrance gradually get smaller towards the altar in order to create a hierarchy of space. The openings are not closed in order to let the air through, naturally ventilated.

The roof structure was inspired by the key word ‘Integrating’ expressed in a crossing form of truss.

The wedding is to integrate two souls into one and it is done in a building with crossing truss.

The Bricks School + Hotel Can you integrate the original brick pagoda into architectural programming and design?

2014 Architectural Design Studio

Staying and Learning the Culture of Bricks The site is situated around the ancient pagoda of Chiang Mai. I decided to recreate a brick school combined with gallery and boutique hotel for stayers to learn about the culture of ancient Lanna way of building things.

Flash Forward How do you redefine the way we study in school and yet expose it to public?

2013 Architectural Design Studio

Based on the site context, to play with the twin building of ‘Sathorn Unique’, the programmes from State Tower are projected, economized and refined to be specifically to the design fields The school area is proposed to be like an educational advertised school, the aim for the design is to break out from the frame of post-modernism.

Therefore, perception-wise, the form will be masses that aim to contrast with the pole columns and curvy balconies from the existing building.

Future Living Concept Manual Future Living Concept Manual

To seek for the most suitable arrangement for class rooms, I did many study models to explore how space could be rearranged in this existing building with so many columns.

Through this project, I got to learn about an alternative structure called ‘transfer girder’ made of steel in order to transfer the load from new structure which is cantilevered to the existing main big columns and then to the ground. <<< Shown in the model As the twin building of this building ‘Sathorn Unique’ represents a very high society / luxurious living as this building was supposed to mirror those (before it was abandoned) I decided to contrast it with a very down to earth program and arrangement.

My answer to the golden dome with a restaurant they filmed 007, is an open air cinema with a deconstructed glass roof structure >>>

28

With an intention to break the rules of conventional classroom arrangements, I decided to have unenclosed area for the studio with two arrangements of seating, flexible and patterned.

In order to boost creativity and production through collaborative environment and atmosphere while still maintaining the sense of arrangement. Not too freely without controls.

However, for the lecture rooms that needs enclosed space for screening slides and sound insulation, they can be enclosed.

National Theatre of Thailand Can you a make a national theatre more democratic by inserting tubes of public activities through an auditorium?

2013 Architectural Design Studio

Publicize the national theatre so it belongs to everyone in the country Inspired by the site visit and analysis that , most people who attend the theatre aim to watch the performance, Therefore the national theatre is still very limited.

Proposing additional programmes such as public library, exhibition area and luxury restaurants in order to attract more users to the building.

By penetrating these programmes through the big theatre mass, through the auditorium, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to achieve two things. First, the visual language is shown as some engaging elements penetrate through this unfriendly building, attracting people who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in the theatre performance to experience these additional programs.

Secondly, as the additional programmes are in the form of steel truss, pushing through the auditorium, the users would experience the sense of the theatre performances, getting a glimpse of what might be happening inside.

In order to achieve the perception of appearance.

I had to go through several mass study models in order to see the three dimensional form of a building . All, with only one

common idea which was the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path (library/ exhibition/restaurant) the big challenge was how to attract people to walk up this path.

Decoding from the Traditional Lanna Architecture (Ancient Empire in the North of Thailand) ‘HangDong Temple’ The traditional Lanna architecture could be decoded to find out the ratios of its proportions, could be perceived to experience the characteristics embed in the temple itself.

As a group we did the experimental study of the proportions and characteristics we decoded in order to understand this original local masterpiece of architecture which could be useful in further applications.

Inspired from a film ‘The Hobbit’, a shop house for a small family, which programmes according to each place in the movie.

The front house is a shop, contains programmes such as organic goods shop, juice corner, cafe and the main feature is a library at the top.

The back house is a residential part, the bedrooms set back from the wall, have circular openings, allowing each member to project sound through to the acoustic wall in tilted angles, allowing this wall to act as a main communicator for the family, the shapes refer to hobbiton.

A workshop held by a famous Dutch designer Jurgen Bey It was so fun, as the approach was so different from what we learned in the design studios.

We got the mass of different shapes of boxes like in the game ‘Tertis’

My design was for musicians, aimed highly in the architectonics aspect. The space is soundproofed with the acoustic boards, the giant tube acting like a horn, able to spread the sound of music everywhere in the neighborhood.

Small Theatre for a famous Thai Dancer, Client-Based, Different Approach.

While many colleagues take a path to decode the sequential movements from the dance moves and make them into forms. I went on a more intangible way of defining a still move ‘JEEB(จีบ)’ which means ‘Myself’ in Thai Dance as a concept.

As the act of JEEB is done by attaching a thumb and index finger together, placing them on the chest (where the heart situates).The auditorium which is proposed to be the heart of the theatre is joined by two circulations from two different sources, the rehearsing rooms and the lobby, separating two main group of users, dancers and audience.

Extracurricular Experiences Speaking at TEDxYouth Chiang Mai “The Thirst For More” 2014 a talk on a yearn for better education

Link to Video https://youtu.be/dJ0WFpwAFaA

In 2014, I passed the audition to give a talk at the TEDx Youth Chiang Mai Event.

I was very delighted to get this opportunity because I love watching TED and dreamed that one day I would be able to become a speaker.

Like all other TED events, speakers must be up to TED standard therefore I had a mentor who helped coaching me through many practices for two months before I gave my talk.

My talk was about how a better education abroad effected my life entirely.

How during my high school in Thailand the teachers wouldn’t let me ask any question, I ended up thinking I wasn’t capable of studying Maths.

After I had a chance to study in a different country where education is crucially important and valued, I knew I was able to learn anything I wanted and if it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t become an architecture student.

Amazing opportunity to help escorting the guest speaker from Japan for the Architect Expo 13’s ASA Forum, Takaharu Tezuka, the architect who designed, the roof house, Fuji kindergarten etc.

I learned so many little techniques and approaches for the design process. It truly was a wonderful experience.

Taka-san said to me ‘Try to be the best in your class’

Two local magazines recognized the workshop I joined and the work â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marshmallows Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that I did with my team was chosen to be published.

I was very happy to be recognized by these two magazines event-hough one is local, the other one is famous in Thailand but the work featured only a small part, It was still the first small step.

I do hope to feature many more publications in the future and definitely in a bigger scale.

Architectural Construction Internship Steel House

2014

I had an opportunity to be in a 20 days construction camp. The real built construction camp is a part of architecture education at Chiang Mai University. I had to do several duties during the camp, day by day , switching from foreman to labor. I do think it is essential for any architecture school to integrate real built construction camp to the course because it is like open-up to a new world. All the process and theory we learned in Material and Construction subject, we relearned it but this time by doing.

37

Photography Architectural / Portraits / Landscape / Street

Besides Architecture I have a very strong interest in Photography, in any kind actually from portraits photography to architectural photography because I like how we can capture the moment of time through photographing.

In fact, I started taking photographs with no knowledge in techniques nor theories also did it initially with my smartphone but then I began to see how I could apply the knowledge of elements and compositions in art ; after that my photographs started to significantly look better.

Nowadays I still practice my photography skills as much as I can. I study more techniques and theories in order to know them however, I try hard to keep my photographs real,not too fancy and over the top.

I shoot with all types of camera; smartphone, digital full frame and a vintage film camera.

All photographs were taken by myself / with iphone - nikon film camera and digital full frame camera
