GREETING Since I was young, I have been loving arts and design. I dreamt to be a designer or an architect. Finally I could apply for department of landscape architecture in faculty of architecture, Chulalongkorn University, based in Bangkok, Thailand.

I have been intensively trended to be a creative designer, a critical thinker, and the great landscape architect. I comprehensed more and more about landscape architecture. Many lessons shaped my prospect of seeing this world not to be just like what it is today but a better place for all, both human and nature. My skills also have been improved and developed from then to now. And I still keep working hard in every studio project because it’s the way to collect precious working experience. Not only an individual skills, but also the skill to cooperate in teamwork.

After all 5 years of studying and practicing, I could successfully finish every project. I see my development from bad to the best.

I wasn’t born genius but I was born with power and determination to leave the great things on this world. Whenever I fall, I will suddenly get up and go on. I can quickly learn and absorb. I’m excited to explore and discover something new everyday. Every path I take, I’m determined to make it legend and no regret just even once.

KLONGCHAN PUBLIC HOUSING : THE REVITALIZATION WITH NU-COMMUNITISM Project Type: Residential Design Locaঞon : Bangkapi, Bangok, Thailand Project Year : 2017 Poverty leads to the occurrence of slums in big cities. National Housing Authority is a Thai state enterprise with an objective of providing affordable housing for low and middle-income citizens who do not have residential ownership. They have set a typical design standard to fit every housing project. However, most residents are from rural hometowns that are rich in cultures and traditions. When the obsolete design standard meets social diversity, it eventually causes changes to land misuse or disuse, leading to a higher risk of crime, drug abuse, public irresponsibility, and vandalism. Therefore, this project proposes a concept of “Nu-Community”, bringing new approach of public space design for livable community. Considering the strong points of rural living and the potential of urban context, it have become strategies to unite the whole community by creating more communal spaces, co-experience activities, wisdom sharing, community cooperation, and adaptation to environment, for a better living and well-being in public housing community.

Considering background of most residents who came from upcountry with the existing site context, creating a “Nu-Community” became an aspiration. It delves in a new type of community which keeps the characters of rural living – with unified, primary interaction and adaptation to environment – along with a potential of urban context – with great economic drive for community cooperation and multiculturalism. According to the study of social process, the design framework aims to create assimilation through more interactive communal space, build cooperation by economic system and bring back consensus in sense of belonging to the community.

KLONGCHAN PUBLIC HOUSING MODEL Model was made to represent the future develeopment of Klongchan Public Housing in scale of 1:1000

Canal-side park provides recreational areas along the Lam Pang Puay canal to create an interaction with nature. The riparian zone is restored to be natural in order to take back ecosystem and improve water quality. The canal is also linked with vegetated detention basins and swales in residential area.

14

Open space in apartment community is composed of many activity areas serving cultural and recreational proposes, as well as detention areas for increasing stormwater capacity and improving drainage system of this lowland area.

Different colors of trees show the integration of each zone in the community. Communal spaces in residential area are obviously not in a big area but intervening in every inch of the open space. Nevertheless, there are still some large area of public parks that are designed to serve more amount of users.

AIT CAMPUS: WISDOM INTERVENTION Project Type: Campus Design Location : Khlong Luang, Bangkok, Thailand Project Year : 2016 The Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) was founded in 1959. It aims to promote technological change and sustainable development in th Asian-Pacific region through higher education, research and outreach. AIT is opened for multinational and multicultural students. So it's a challenge to renovate the campus in order to give more gathering spaces and areas for intellectual activities that support at least 1700 students. To encourage the most powerful space for learning in AIT campus, concept of “Wisdom Intervention” has brought to create innovative spaces that help students to share experience, gain ideas and show their success.

MOTTO

VISION

“Learning beyond boundary� is the motto of AIT that guides the way design will be. There are 4 ranges of academic program, Environmental, Engineering, Agriculture and Aquaculture, and Social management. So the design must be a step to combine those ranges together to go beyond the boundary.

AIT will strive to become a leading and a unique regional multicultural institution of higher learning, offering state of the art education, research and training in technology, management and societal development.

With the potential of enormous open space from the golf course area, It can be changed to intervene the solar farm in the AIT campus to be the model of clean energy genaration. The design is considered base on the existing canal around the edge and also the shade direction to set the solar cells.

To look in the detail, even the cover way still has innovative design like the energizing step. The more steps peopel make, the more energy they generate. This innovative cover way will be used in academic core area to connect between academic buildings. There is a multi-purpose area in form of sunken space that can be used as a detention pond. And other recreation areas also provided here.

RAYONG LANDFILL: RAYONGAYARN Project Type: Brownfield Location : Rayong, Thailand Project Year : 2015 This project is a landfill site in Rayong where many industries are located. Rayong municipality has a vision to change the landfill site into a new public park with more useful functions for all. Rayong local language is called Chong which is a native tribe. In Chong landguage, Rayong (ราย็อง) means bourdary, while Gayarn (กะยาน) means ambition. Rayongayarn is a brownfield revation project that aims to provide recreational areas with various activities supporting health care, education, ecology, and agriculture for Rayong citizen. New planting design will restore polluted condition that landfill causes. This area is going to be a community park which is friendly with both human and environment.

From the entrance, users will notice not only merginal and aquatic plants that help treating water quality but also a big carbon wall that is penetrate through into actractive frame. But underwater they will be solid walls of carbon to absorb contaminants in water.

24

In front of the museum, there are mosaic of lands. Some are natural lands, some are plates of steel. They show the contrast of nature and industry as the concept said. The rustic steel plates show the evidence of changing time.

This land art is crafted to represent a hill but people are going to know that it is not real. This give a meaning that nowadays nature is destroy and we cannot take it back. So the only way to heal this is to stop destroying.

The white buttons around the hill are methane collectors that will transfer the gas to the system.

This public open space has big area enough to hold events for Rayong people and tourists. It contains amphitheatre under the shade of big East Indian Walnut trees. A stage can be setted occasionally. Planting concept in this area is designed to be colorful all year long in order to give a lively condition.

25

Industiral Art View zone lets the visitors enjoy natural scenery with the penetration of industrial art sculptures. This contrast sends a warning to make them realize about the invasion of industries to natural area. The jogging track is designed to pass through the green open space and provides some resting spot with shelters for visitors to stop and take view. In planting design, most areas are covered with different species of grasses that can grow over the former landďŹ ll area.

26

(Top) An agriculture learning center is opened for any Rayong local people who want to live sufďŹ ciently in agricultural career to take a lesson or attend occasional workshop. The land beside is an area for planting experiment and studying.

(Lower Left) An old factory is renovated to be a new tourist attraction, LandďŹ ll Museum.

The old gasholder near the facility has a suitable height for taking scenic view all over the park.

(Lower Right) From the lower point, the biggest hill ahead may give a hopeful feeling for something special. But after reaching the top, there is nothing but a sunken land. Mimicing to Rayong that believed in industrial development to bring success but ďŹ nally, those industries consume and pollute all natural resource.

YANAWESAKAWAN: WISANYUTTAMUK Project Type: Religious Design Location : Bangkok, Thailand Project Year : 2016 Yanawesakawan Temple (วัดญาณ เวศกวัน) is a modern temple for urban community. Besides the location that is in the capital city like Bangkok, it also stands out in not caring about the spiritual ornament or sacred statue as much as general buddhist temples in Thailand do. The monks here are focusing only on the core of Dhamma. They try to provide the space for seriously practicing meditation and seeking for the truth of life. They still hold the buddhist event all over the year and the problem happens when many buddhists come to attend. Because there is not enough space for crowded people which is increasing every year. Wisanyuttamuk (วิสัญุ ตมรรค) is the concept of doing in the simplest way, finding the essense of things and shape them in how they should be. So in this project design, It started with anlysing the problem and the need of the site. Then stepped to the design process to create the proper space and fix the problem.

The design is based on the low maintenance material and local species to give the simplest and easiest way to live with.

CIRCULATION

One problem of this site is lack of transition The circulation has been rearranged to reach space. So some areas were redesigned and the simplest point by finding the shorttest way add linkage to connect all together. This helps to link each area. circulate the flow of visitors better.

AXIS

The existing axis is not obvious showed in perception, because the paveway doesn’t lead to complete the axis form. And it doesn’t have to be redesigned to get strong axis. But the new constructed paveway will gives the shorrtest way to connect that may come in the form of new axis.

29

Monastery area is composed of monk’s dwells and Dharma learning areas. General laymen are prohibited to enter this area for not to disturb monks’ activities.

A new building is added to provide another school for monks.

It’s designed to connect with the exterior landscape. Learning beneath the shade of trees is the old practice since Buddha era.

So this idea has come up to design the new intellectual space.

Meditation is the core of practice to understand Dharma. Thus, the space nearby the school is prepared for walking back and forth and the space around each monk’s dwells also.

30

The alms house is the gathering place of both monks and buddhists. It’s the place for monks to have meals. And it’s also opened for buddhists to come over and offer food as a merit. In some occasion like buddhist holy day, many buddhists will come to attend the ritual. The space has to be expanded to serve the overflow of crowded people in those special events. It’s designed in the form of flexible space for multi-purpose.

The cross circulation problem that usually happened among the cluster of the buildings has been fixed by rearranging the use of each building to be in hierarchy. The space in front of the buildings is a transitional space for overflow. In the south, a new guest house for buddhists is newly designed for 50 people who will come to stay and practice at the temple.

31

This forest was neglected because it was flooded. Nowadays, the pave way is not properly used. The plants are overgrown.

All the space is malfunctioning.

Main function of this forest is to be a meditation place and held religious ritual occasionally. But it still has to be in the concept of simplicity.

The meditation passages are intervened among the forest. In the middle is the ritual space under the natural statue like big ficus tree. The benches are provided in case that buddhists want to sit for meditation or listen to sermon.

There is a pond around the ritual space functions as a detention basin helping in drainage. Another 4 ponds with lotuses floating on the surfaces are resting points for buddhists who are meditating to consider themselves from the reflecting ponds

BANGBAN: WATTANA COMMUNITY Project Type: Ecology Design Location : Rayong Province, Thailand Project Year : 2016 Bangban is known for being a flood plane area because of its convex field. Even the stormwater from Northern is conducted by the Chao Phraya Dam but it's still not enough. The flood drown Bangban, damaging all crops and productive fields. Bangban is set to be a detention basin to prevent flood disaster in other provinces. This effects the local farmers' lives. Some leave the field and work in the factory or mine. So this is an urgent problem to solve for Bangban people to have the new adaptive way of life to live with flood along with developing their economic system. With the concept of Wattana (วัฏนา) or productive cycle , the design will brings annual agricultural products to all the local farmers by selecting specific areas that suit for each kind of agriculture. When local farmers can earn income for the whole year, they will not give up farming and leave their hometown.

ACCESSIBILITY

ZONE 1 : MOUND Most high level areas are in this zone which can be mounds to grow crops or fruit products. The lower areas are still used for rice field with managed irrigation system.

ZONE 2 : RICE Most areas have almost same level that suit for cultivating rice field.

Bangban farmers can adjust to grow various plants to multiply products.

ZONE 3 : POND The best area for doing fishery in flood season, because it has the lowest level area of all. When the flood come, stormwater will be stored for the longest time.

SEASONAL PRODUCTS NORMAL SEASON Rice is the main product of Bangban farmers especially from doublecrop field. Irrigating water to field from the main canal. Considering products to cultivate from the topography of each area.

Products: Mangoes, Bananas, Roseapples, Coconuts, Rice, Lemongrass, Bamboo, meats, eggs

FLOOD SEASON In the flood perioud, All over area will be drowned. So why don’t they switch to do the fishery? And also growing Water-resistant plants.

Products: Mangoes, Bananas, Roseapples, Coconuts, Rice, Lemongrass, Bamboo, meats, eggs, fish

DROUGHT SEASON Bangban Farmers are still able to do the cultivation with the stored water from previous flood season. In Zone 3, the soil quality has decreased nutrition from the longest flooded session. So it’s good to begin with planting legumes.

Products: Bricks, homegrown vegetable, rice, legumes, fish

35

PROTOTYPE

MOUND

RICE

POND

RICE Rice field is the basic function of agricultural area in Bangban.

But to find the way gaining more money, farmers should learn to grow various kinds of products not only rice

MOUND This area is filled by the cut pond area. It helps in drainage by absorbing more amount of rainwater and gaining more space to cultivate various plants for raising income and preventing erosion

POND It helps catching sediments which is good for improving soil quality. Organic form of pond provides space of fish habitat to reproduction. And there's also a planting area for marginal plants

DESIGN APPROACHES

BEFORE

AFTER

SAND MINE Some areas have turned into a sand mine. The result after they run out of operation is the leftover big square pond with malnutrion of soil. So the solution is proposed to plant more marginal plants to reclaim the former ecosystem and increasing soil quality

36

RECREATION AREA A passage nearby the pond connecting with many ports provides activities and aesthetics to local people that have bound with this landscape for ages. And also design to live together with the local animal and plants as an ecosystem

FLOATING RICE FIELD Owing to the flood problem, the floating rice field is the adaptive way of agriculture to live with nature phenomena

ZONE1: MOUND Character of landscape in this zone is a higher elevation than other areas with a lot of mounds, as well as many rice ďŹ elds below. The design is to apply Rice-Mound-Pond model to make this area be more productive for agricultural products.

37

ZONE 2 : RICE This zone is main location for duck farm because it is in the middle of rice fields. Farmers can raise ducks in their field. Those ducks help eliminating weeds and give eggs or meats as another profitable products

ZONE 3 : POND This is a low land area which is easily flooded. In flood season, T this area can change from rice fields to fishery pond. Some hight er-level mound has riparian areas at the edge between land and e water that could be fish habitat. This zone is not only good for fish w breeding, but also brings more agricultural products for the whole b year. y

GALVANIZED STEEL SHELTER: CELLS Project Type: Installation Project Year : 2015 Cell is the smallest functional basic unit of life. This word is from latin, Cella, meaning small room.

When many cells gather together they will become forms of things that we see. So it became an aspiration for creating an outdoor shelter. Galvanized steel is used as a main material because of its special character in adjustment of form and endurance to changing climate. It is also combined with some general steel material in order to show the difference between galvanized and nongalvanized one. When locating this shelter in natural condition, the general steel will turn into rust but the galvanized steel will not.

Plant cell has regtangular shape and a nucleus inside producing energy for itself.

So the design is transformed from the plant cell into a ďŹ lleted regtangular unit made of galvanized steel. A nucleus is transformed into a non-galvanized steel ball which will be in the middle.

As you will A a changing h i off time, ti ill notice ti that th t the rust is coming over a steel balls but not the galvanized steel part. This shows a good property of galvanized steel.

Each unit will be connected to the other by bolts and nuts.

Finally, this is the complete form with a seat for taking a rest and panoramic view outside under the protection of galvanized steel.

I (VAPOR) Option Studio : Application of Arts in Landscape Project Type: Installation Project Year : 2015 This is an installation art questions about belief that relates to one's experience. It's an collaboration of me and my friend.

The concept was inspired by vaporwave, a music genre that use 80's sound mixed in modern way supposing that the music was come from vaporware (software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy). This work of art we had an idea to pick some elements from various ages and myths such as a roman structure from ancient architecture, using symbolic pink color of our university, shiny material of modern industry. Then composed them to mimic the belief of Thai spiritual house. And I also did the mixtape to play along displaying this art work in the vaporwave ambient.

Vaporwave genre is characteristic in mixture of time. In this song we use academic anthem , Maha Chulalongkorn, which is sacred and classic mixed with a new age beat to create the contrast. This project is aimed to note that we have been unintentionally recognized the being of Chulalongkorn University through symbolism that is the result of our own personal experiences.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZIme1oZSto 42

We wanted to interact with the viewer s who are Thai students of ofďŹ cers in Chulalongkorn University. All the elements we used are related to their experience of being Thai citizen, having spiritual believes and being a part of Chulalongkorn University. So that they may feel that we showed disrespect to their custom and tradition. Even though we just composed a mixture of random objects of time.

43

MOOD SWING Option Studio : Mapping Studio Project Type: Mapping Model Project Year : 2016 Mapping studio aims to practice students in collecting and connecting information. Even those data are from different source and topic, students have to find the connection between them and pick the right material as a tool for making presentation that can correctly represent the character of that data. At first, I was asked to pick up 3 things that I'm interested in. I chose Egoism, Peace, and Nature. Then I had to find connecting points and combine these things into one model.

In experiment, the measurement must be reliable and based on facts.

1. I began to catch up my heartrate while doing daily activities switching with doing meditation.

44

2. To specify the framework, I decided to watch a movie, Life of Pi, and catched my heartrate while watching it. Then, I generated each scenes to show my mood that swinging.

3. The Final part is to make a connection from what i’m interested in to a landscape site. So I tried to apply the former technic I did with an abstract topic to map a new aspect I saw on the site.

45

Whence one has no emotion, he is in state of "peace".

But whenever emotion affects oneself, then the "egoism" happens. And this is a "nature" of human. So this is a concept of my work, to observe the changing of my mind. I used an application on smartphone that can catch the heartrate and show as a graph.

46

I tried to map how my heartrate changed owing to an emotion and presented them with contributing materials. First I chose a transparent rubber tube because it could refer to human respiratory. After doing activites and measuring my heartrate, I mapped the result on the model with varous elevations of transparent rubber tube.

47

Next step of development, I wanted to show more about how I felt. So I have to specify my measurement with a framework. I decided to watch Life of Pi and catched my heartrate along

I captured all 22 scenes from the movie, Life of Pi. And then, I generated into color palettes because color can tell the mood and tone of emotion and swang them in abstract forms. Fin

48

g the playing of the movie. I measured in every changing mood for 22 scenes. Each scene has different rate of my heart.

nally I map how my heart beated differently on those 22 moods with measurement from my heartrate result.

49

After reseaching data about site project, Public Housing Klongchan.

This mapping showed an experiment about population density and openspace withing site by dropping a ball that painted with poster colors and let it moved to nearest sunken areas that marked as open spaces. Yellow color represents existing residents. Red color represents hidden population within site. Blue color represents visitors from the outside. The result revealed how dense the open spaces are.

Yellow color represents existing residents. Red color represents hidden population within site. Blue color represents visitors from the outside. The result revealed how dense the open spaces are.

This model is a gcriminal risk mappin of Public Housing Klongchan, measuring from the distance. The farther it is from main road, The more risky crime is. So I used nails as a main material to contribute the feeling of danger.

Considering of the old technic that was used in previous abstract work, it's the way of capturing the changing moments in time. So I started to record video while experiencing along the road and captured every 5 second scene. Then generating them into abstract forms showing mood and spaces of site.

All those hundreds frames of abstract spaces were arranged on the site with measurable scale. Each line for each road that was accessed. It's due to the creative way of collecting information and analysis, the ďŹ nal work I got was a landscape model with a brand new prospect of making precess.

Layering frames of spaces showed the changing of mood I perceived along the accessible area. Colors are kept and dominated because it's an natural link to human comprehension.

This is all the long process from egoism, peace, and nature to the new kind of site model mapping.

GRAPHIC DESIGN Hobby and Interest I also crave in graphic design since I was young. As I grow older, I had some good chances to use my design skill to do some graphic art works including of posters, logos, and product advertisement. Creativity has no boundary. I believe that to be a good designer, one should be able to create or design anything and learn to develop his skill all the time.

These posters were designed by me for campus event. It unlocked my Adobe illustrator skill a lot. And I tried to do many style of arts up to what I was learning that time.

This is an advertisement for Zequenz, a stationery brand in Thailand. The process started from a photo shooting to graphic designing. The concept is to represent the enjoyment and liveliness of brand identity.

ŕš˜ŕš? is a Thai numeric

character means 80. I tried to turn a traditional line into modern by using simply geographic circular curves.

These are logos of 80 and 82. The design is to combine two character as one. I still use geographic form like squares to make it look modern.

Minimal Thailand is a project i did to ďŹ gure out the minimalism in Thai graphic. Posing question to original format if it could be modernized.
