Shelter in place

Global warming is the concern nowadays. As we know, global warming has caused many disasters all around the world, not only on land but also in the water. Many researches show us that many icebergs are melting away such as North Pole and South Pole. The situations are worsening everyday.
In Thailand, disasters come in the form of flood and rain storm, which are mostly impacted in suburb. It’s not only urban can produce the amount of carbon dioxide and methane emission but also suburb can. This is the global warming problem for local in suburb of Thailand. So this project aims to overcome the global local by using recycle materials and pragmatic technology; hence, the goal is simple living and survival in place, especially with natural local. This project explores the possibility living permanently and self-sufficiently in the water.

'Efficiency-Flexible-Flow'

Culture

Thai Cultural Center

Auditorium and Lecture Central Building

Program: 8000 sqm. education building and 4000 seats auditorium

The main convention and education building where the students(also the people)
come to studying,meeting and use for the commencement.

Chainart Hospital

Program:150 beds hospital and rehabilitation center

Through the project is located along the Chao-Praya riverside,
the riverview is necessary in the planning and has to be considered.
The design's approach is how can the patients feel 'the hospital as the hotel'

Hotel

Public Space

Nautilus Activity Dome,KMITL,Bangkok
Program:755 sqm. central plaza in the university

The KMITL's central plaza,for the structure,we used the truss and geodesic dome to define space as a landmark.
The design concept is from the characteristic,the colour and the pattern of an aquatic animal,nautilus.
The dome is combined with the large three arch elements as the main skeleton.
The patterned-random glass panel is used for the finishing.

The activity park

Program:

1,080 sqm. retail shop, mixed-use plaza in the campus

We want to change the existing plaza to be alive by creating more activities in the plaza. Not only the colorful wave landmark of tensile structure shows the movement and dynamic of live, but also solves the problem by passive way to be more comfort space.

de Arch

Program:

1,080 sqm. coffee shop, canteen, outdoor stage and mixed-use space

Re-design of the existing plaza, flowing of activities is the major idea. The new landmark for the faculty of architecture is the arch truss, de Arch. Form of structure is analyzed by all forces, especially bending moment. Finally, the architecture of de Arch is in steps for respect the context.

Research

Oudry-Mesly Footbridge,Cre'teil,Paris,1987-1988

Researching in a wide span structure.First,we focused at the simply thing as a bridge,how it can built and stable in that long span with only the two foundations.The Oudry-Mesly Footbridge is the one we used as a case study,in arch,truss and steel stucture.By making a model and doing the structural analysis.










Our study concentrates to the structure bridge, which is unique from others because it is the composite structure. Not only the assembly sequence of tilting bridge, but the steelwork fabrication that we study about.





Canary Wharf Underground station, Lord Norman Foster

The station is built within the hollow of the former West India Dock using cut-and-cover construction techniques, and at 300m. in length is as long as Canary Wharf Tower is tall. At ground level, the entire roof of the station is laid out as a landscaped park, creating Canary Wharf’s principal public recreation space.
Our study pointed to the structure of the underground station; how they can build in the old dock which has effect from groundwater. In addition to, we want to analysis the arch.

Unite d’Habitation, Le Corbusier

The study focus on “le Modulor”, the human scale with architecture. Le corbusier’s theory try to create a perfect measure in architecture scale like the music scale. However, he did used his Modulor scale to design.

Lobster Restaurant

Program:1000 sqm. two stories restaurant with 600 seats

Deduction the Lobster's shell to the structure of the restaurant.For the wide span,the thin shell structure is the most appropriate.The Lobster Restaurant has the undersea floor,a place to eat with underwater view of the 'Living Sea'

Lumpini Boxing Stadium

Program:
28,000 sqm. Boxing stadium with 7,000 seats and multi-proposed arena

Our criteria for design the Lumpini stadium is the properly construction in Thailand and we want the form of stadium shows the real ability of the structure, not too over design.
The simple theory of cantilevered beam and post-tensioned technique are the answer of our design.
Moreover, the space under stadium is prepared for flowing activities and public space.

Lumpini Complex

Program:

500000 sqm. shopping complex ,hotel ,theatre ,boxing stadium and office building

The mega-project combine with 5 functions in the central of Bangkok Metropolis.
