DESIGNDEVELOPMENT

The design was initiated from a rectangular shape overlapped by an L-shaped box the form then proceeded through various process of addition and being cut off to develop a total form with proper proportion. After being developed to a certain level, the form was then reflected to make a symmetry form for a semi-detached house. After the form is fully developed, the house is then designed and the programs were then laid into the proper parts of the form with the suitability of the space volume and convenience of access being the main criterias of the design.

“ LIGHT UP THE PATH ”

Hatyai Bus Terminal 1

Songkhla , Thailand

The concept “ Light up the paths ” was originally initiated from the site of the project which came in a triangular shape located in an urban area of Hat Yai, a city with dense population and activity. The triangularshaped site was also standing at an intersection which resulting in the hree sides opening to different sections of the city.

Being able to access so many places , the keyword “path” had emerged and soon came the need of an element that can be used as a guidance for the said “path”. Natural lighting was brought into the design soonafter as Hat Yai is located in Southern Thailand where there is a high volume of sunlight.

The building footprint was designed from various axis of the site. The ceiling was designed to be high up to make room for sunlight-bending details and elements.

1. The roofings material was selected to be shinkolite plates which are transparent but the amount of sunlight let through is adjustable with the use of UV filtering film. The ceiling level is gradually dropped to create a layering effect which provides the user with interior lighting and perspective shades and shadows as guidance towards the terminal.

2. This part’s roofings are also made of shinkolite plates but used on a diferent structure. The roof also possesses an order of opaque and transparent roof to suit the different functions.

3. Planes of concrete panel is built to receive direct sunlight. The received sunlight then reflectes on another designed plane to let indirect light into the building in a “glowing” method which provides the foyer with soft lighting.

4. The wide front of the building may faces the North but still receives a lot of sunlight. The diagonal panels was created to solved the said problem by filtering the sunlight into indirect light which can be used to illuminate the interior in proper amount.

5. Two large horizontal openings is placed at the front of the building, not only to break the monotony of the elevation but to be used as a structure that creates reflection and filter he sunlight into indirect light which can also be used to illuminate the interior in proper amount as well.
