SoA+D 2050 - Biomimicry
Mangroove air roots: Pneumatophores
Known as breathing roots that mangroove collects air from the outside. The sunken roots are not able to get the air because they are sink under the mud. Using this idea with focusing issue as flooding site (Bang Khun Tien) in 2050. Combine with building performance by using Rhino Grasshopper as a tool for parametric design with ideology of biomimicry. The building height will rise according to wind and sun direction. The humidity from the water collide to heat, creating wind that circulated to whole building.

xDs - Experiment based Designs
INTERTWINED
Combining each lines , twine together with different schemes, picking 2 of schemes, twined again in 3D form by using wood as material. After that, assigned function as pavilion.
Final outcome
Using coombination of 2D diagram to develop to 3D
Result
Pavilion schemes Combine 2 models

A place where surrounded by various restaurants, a funky bar and lots of art galleries which all run by small business. Moreover, many hotels are located at riverfront of this district which is able to bring more tourists to visit the district.
Aoon pottery - Flagship store
Homey Flagship store
Aoon pottery is a local pottery which owner craft one by one by himself. The products include plate, mug, cup, etc.
Once owner said “A good pottery is not only showing on shelf, but also use in real life”, this ideology came out as a design approach to make it like a home - home of pottery. By narrating products according to daily cycle as “wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee, lunch as a dish, sipping tea in the afternoon, then drinking at night with sake cup”
