Memorizing, Fix Answer, and manipulative are few words Thais used to describe our education system. Nowadays, One of the most synthesis subject as historical learning in Thailand is no longer be able to provoke a new generation to embrace their history or even proper learning design for the student to be prepared for the 21th Century world which demands the critical thinking skills and existed historical museum facilities are failed to accommodate or resolve the issue.

Lead to the thesis project which explored on “How to create a new methodology of historical learning which allow users to learn naturally & creatively through architectural design” and in the same time, provoke them to be able to generate critical thinking during the learning process In this project, Curiosity and Multiperspective learning are the main tools to create cognitive learning for synthesis learning through space manipulation and content determination.

In this project, new generation will be brought to explore “mutiperspective” of Siam history by introducing new contemporary museum hidden in isolated island on Chao Phraya River which allow them to ask “What If” and in the same time, arousing them to be curious through architectural element that contains series of hidden messages together with other nuance exhibition display design that encourage visitor to be aroused in the endless pursuit of historical stories and its undiscovered path rather than seeking for one handed answer they used to find textbooks.

Student Christian Center located within a magnificent green-scape being the most attractive treasure hidden in the site which becomes the main part of this project together with solving current problems: Dim light, solid enclosure, and low greenery usage. This project aims to lead SCC users to explore new SCC in the different perspective using green element, landscape, and architecture in other to pull in the existing nature to be as closer as possible to them as if they are ‘living in closer to the park ’ and closer to each other than it used to be.

"Visual neighbour - glimpse activities movement"

Identified major problems of the site besides annual flood, the site and sport context could be bound together by the activity and strategies of building itself as "Community Sport recreational Center� should perform. The Visual limitation and its problems formed by the alley structure of the community and the content of sport hall have been taken as the major concern for this project.

Using "Visual movement� as a concept, The CSRC mimics the main street community structure which formed the visual and interactive neighbor connection (being an eye for each other) as a design configuration. People seeing movement of activities performing from a secured atmosphere would help to prevent crime in the community

User analysis

Site Analysis The slow and inert atmosphere was created within the community by 2 main reasons, The insecure alley and the lower water transportation to other piers compared to the past : lack of visual connection and pathway+ have limited visual connection to waterscape and river

In minor soi(s)(alleys), dead-end pattern blocked/limit the view of neighbour facade created quite but yet insecure as drug selling occured (and indesirable) atmosphere to the minor alleys.

Student and community members are the major users live and support micro economy the most but still lack of public spaces for sports and perform common activities

Sport activities encouragement

design for gaining of natural light and allow people on the rampsget some glimpse of arena movement before entering to its next space

Walking encouragement

walling being one factor that influence narrative visual experiances. As users walking along ramp or main circulation, the vistual view will narratively change all the time as well as driven users to projecting at different movement of programming

2016-1 // Residential design Studio X Artist[s]

The house which owned by the artist 'Mr. Phathaiwat Changtrakul' provide dissimulated and shearing space within the house. its inspiration and form which came from the work of the house owner.

The curved territory was analyzed from the shearing movement of circular shapes in the artwork create more dynamic to the space

The curved interior together with light and shadow from the sheared trace will make the user feel a glimpse of shear which forms a new activated and inspired area for the artist. Moreover, The exterior and clerestories also reflected the consequences of shearing in a new way.

This combination which came from art observer and artist formed new interesting and challenging residential design.

Analyzed the pattern in one of the successful painting of the owner, the painting circle element was decoded and reinterpret into new perspective.

Diagrams show the ‘Shearing’ effect in plan and section of circular shaps as it moves toward each other create space formation throughout the process

The research focused on unearthing extraordinary spaces hidden beyond ordinary shophouses in Bangkok which about to disappear from the city as infrastructures and development concurred the city. Therefore documenting and analyzing them not only preserve the history but also help the team to find exotic adaptive and hybrid alternative solutions for architecture design existed within the Architectural DNA of the urban itself.

Predi Banomyong Road was chosen to be the main platform of the research due to its diverse programs and extreme hybrid architectural shophouse elements that were invented interestingly by local entrepreneurs.

The International Exchange Workshop of Architecture and Urban Design pursues visions of architecture and urban design for Asian cities. Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan (SIT)joins King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, Thailand (KMUTT) Tokyo 2018 July, following 2015 and 2017, and Bangkok 2016 and 2018 expected, along with Seoul 2012 and Tokyo 2014 with Chung-ang University, Korea (CAU) and Johor Bahru 2015 and Tokyo 2016 with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The both students collaborate an eight-day project on Kashiwa City, built up around the railway station as a satellite town populated 400,000 commuting 30 km and 30 minutes from Tokyo. The urban design center supports the workshop.

Concern about Family disconnection issue of Kashiwa caused by the city expansion, this project aims for family engagement especially young family user which need sharing space and place for spending time together in which Boundinf activity create encouragement among family member through space and program design

The 2018 International Workshop with students from Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) School of Architecture and Design (SoA+D) takes place at Bon Marché Market Park and the KX Building of KMUTT in Bangkok, Thailand between August 4 to 11, 2018. The workshop investigates the “ Bon Marché Market Park” in to propose conceptual, as well as architectural design ideas for a “ Bon Marché market place of the future”. The site with the global coordinates 13°50'21.52" N, 100°33'04.25" E is located in Bangkok’s city district of Lad Prao

The existing atmosphere of Bon Mache is outdated, old and uninviting. There are low amount of green spaces, focusing too much on the elders and lack of visual connection. Therefore, the purpose is to give it a modern twist, fixing the atmosphere, making it more vibrant and enjoyable to invite the young generations to come here. It will focus on redesigning the circulation by relocating the car circulation and emphasizing more on the pedestrian path and safety.

Moreover, new zonings and programs are also added to create more visual connections, inviting and green environment inside the marke

SoA+D X KIT 2019-2 // Kyoto, Japan [ Kyoto Institute of Technology ] ‘Pontocho Tourist Center design’

Natrada Chatritdhichaikul

The International workshop held in 2019 in Kyoto , Japan where KIT[ Kyoto Institute of Technology ] together with SoA+D established workshop team as to design ‘Pontocho Tourist Center’ which recreate and propose new urban space to the existed conventional neighbourhood.

The new tourist center aimed to create new appriciation of “existed Sakura tree” and even allow user to capture each movement occured along the Kamo river in the same time.

therefor existed landscape was used as part of main design where user be able to experience the sense of the outdoor garden inside out from ground to river level. From exterior to interior which introduce new idea of tourist center to the public but keep the sense of simplicity via flat facade that align to the old Pontocho neighbourhood.
