RE L FE CYCLE

WHEN DEATH CREATES ETERNAL LIVING

From generation to generation, in order to respond the life’s challenge, humans always come up with new innovative solutions. Said that ,being an living creatures, “death” is an unavoidable state that no artifacts could prevent. Unfortunately, the issue that always be looked over is the final disposition which found to be toxic to the planet for over the past decades. Thus, the purpose of this project is to design the structure that promotes new living system in which beneficial to all living , death and the earth.

Due to flexible design , the adaptive frame structure is expected to be implement in any places, able to grow vertically without specific sites. For entire perspective, the proposal is not only turning house to become a self-sufficient and central place of life but also empowering the community in either environmental and social approaches. Eventually, “Relife-Life-Cycle” system is created to manage how people handle death ,and, in turn, how they live to honor both the earth and the departed for eternity.

Looking towards the idea of closed loop self-sustainable system (based on cradle-to-cradle templates), instead of considering death as the end of human life cycle, turning it to become aesthetically valuable traces that support daily routine. The design take advantage of fundamental metabolisms process to convert dead body into a temporal renewable energy for dwelling and respectively, provides nourishment for upcoming nature to grow. As a result, death creates life.

HOW WE HANDLE WITH DEATH TODAY In 2020, climate change, global outbreak and other factors have ended a large number of human life. Displaying on the diagram below, there is an increasing amount of death each year. Due to current circumstances, If people still deal with human bodies post-mortem with conventional methods, the death rates, perhaps, continuously experience an unstoppable growth in the coming years.

Following common traditions, the limit options for funerary process can make negative impacts to the earth. Cremation allows the toxic emissions released to the atmosphere during incineration, Mixture of chemical fluid run into soil and ground water through earthen burial practices whereas other various ways require electricity and the energy consuming .

INDUSTRIAL OBSERVATORY Canonical Buildings

Focusing on industrial architectures,the style was mostly concerned with the use of metal components that developed significantly during the industrial revolution. In the early applications of iron decorative designs, there was still considerable influence from earlier periods of classical and more decorative periods of architecture. The elements that were the focus of the remake were the beam, column, dome and partition as all of these have seen a huge transformation in materiality since industrialization as most were produced using wrought or cast iron. The concept of developments in technology and the manufacturing process from the industrial era was also rethought and new methods of making and fabrication such as crafting metal sheets through laser cutting and the use of CNC machines were explored. From these investigations, new remade elements were applied to the design of an observatory.

Industrial Observatory

STYLE : Recognising canons in architectural design Analysing architectural elements in the industrial revolution era from the case studies. Industrial architecture concerns 2 main goals : efficiency and safety. Improved economy in turning raw goods into manufactured items and in the construction of the buildings themselves, as well as the prevention of fire with the resulting loss of life and materials shaped the design of architecture.

REMAKE : Reference & Interpretation in architectural design Series of architectural elements in the industrial revolution era are designed to suit the socio-cultural and technological needs and/or values of present times before applied to the observatory. With the power of the machine, the design also focuses on turning ornament not only to become functional in terms of structural load but also reflect the cultural and value related to the c o n t e x t .

Industrial Observatory

C A N O N I C A L B U I L D I N G.

After researching and creating a series of structures, some of them were selected and assembled to perform the ground-based industrial observatory. With the fixed function of the building’s program, the elements within itself need to be perfectly suited as same as what appears in existing observatories. However, the final image of this observatory was to have the contemporary form of the observatory which was constructed through the modern technical tools and manufacturers, in combination with the vintage and classic mood for both exterior and interior of the architecture. To be more obvious, the users are allowed to travel back in time, experience and operate the analog machines by learning to use a terrestrial telescope together with the ancient era informative elements like signs of zodiac and star map with their own h a n d s . The observatory consists of 3 stories starting with the main entrance which can be found in the basement area. Walking up with the spiral stair, users will arrive at the common area where a series of partitions array along with the platform. The major task of these partitions is to provide shading. As it can be seen from the pattern on the platform, the partitions can be manually adjusted, adapted to the specific direction of the sun which can be completely closed to protect the light pollution occurring during the observation.

Above this common area, there is an observatory area. On this platform, there are informative ornaments appear on the different points of the room to collect data. Looking on the ground, the users will find the main clock on the floor. Essential data like months and zodiacs can also be found while looking around. At the same time, if looking up, the user will find the feature dome-shaped south polar star maps. During the daytime, the room glows with the starlight from the sun that penetrates through the hole of each star. Conversely, at night, one pair of inner dome segments can be opened which is not only connecting the interior to the sky but also appears out the outer dome fins that act as the observing angle. At this moment, it is a sign for users to enjoy and fully experience the exploration.

THE SENSORY RING Very Welcome

BLIND TOURISM Chatuchak , Bangkok , Thailand

The project focuses on defining a new uprising of tourism, closer to anthropological traveling, that emerges as a criticism of mass consumption tourism. In this case, the design of architecture would allow the clients to stay in one place where they can learn more in-depth about one thing rather than running from city to city in a constant race. The sensorial ring proposes to expose the user’s body senses. It emphasizes experiencing Thai elements that could be perceived throughout Bangkok whether it be the smell from the street food, heat from the sun, the texture of the ornament, or the sound of the commotion. Generally, more than 80 percent of people judge things through their sense of sight. However, traveling just to see things might degenerate the true meaning of traveling which has been overlooked for over a decade. At this point, to deeply understand the idea of extreme perception, the best answer is to understand the notion of blind people (shown in the diagram beside ). As a result, The sensorial ring became an architecture that took the idea of blind perception ( able to perceive only one thing at a time ) as a strategy, allowing the users to stay overnight and enjoy the moment they have to encounter at every single moment through their different senses by enhancing and maximizing the environment of the surrounding context.

The Sensory Ring

PARADOX OF TOURISM Tourism in Thailand is a major player in its economy having accounted in 2015 for 19.3 percent (2.3 trillion THB) of Thailand's GDP. In 2016, Bangkok ranked first as "Top City Destinations" in Euromonitor International. Suvarnabhumi Airport and SiamParagon shopping mall were ranked number one and two respectively in a list of the most photographed locations worldwide in 2012 on Instagram. As tourism is expected to increase even more in the future, it is crucial for us architects to reflect on this situation. During the studio, we have looked at the paradoxes that modern tourism presents: the attempt to present authenticity often deadening it; the search for adventure framed by a necessity of comfort and security; the look for a stronger connection with nature versus the unsustainable nature of tourism; the support for local industries like agriculture while raising local inflation; the creation of local jobs while the benefits mostly end up with global multinational corporations.

The collage besides shows one the of the evolution of tourism from historical precedents to emerging concepts of traveling that are slowing supplanting the more traditional ones before proposing a new hybrid building that implements a new way of tourism.

ENGAGED TRAVELING GUIDE After the research phase, the next step is to investigate the more common perception tourists have of Bangkok (the cliché), which involves the most famous touristic attractions, party neighborhoods, and purely touristic sites. In opposition to that, the guide will find the hidden potentials of the city (the authentic).

The Sensory Ring

CONTEXT & BACKGROUND. The monumental ring is placed over Chatuchak, one of the famous traveling places in Bangkok, covering BTS Mo Chit, Chatuchak Park, JJ market until Chatuchak green night market. Since this considering site provides various kinds of environments and activities that express the identity of Thailand, it merges the diversity of senses and feeling into one p l a c e . Regarding the ring shape, the sequence works almost like an exhibition space which gives an unrepeatable path that the user does not have to go back and repeat the same sensation. Between the rings, a set of collective programs and accommodation units are placed differently relating to the context providing a unique sensation to e x p e r i e n c e .

The Sensory Ring

IT’S TIME TO FEEL THE TRUE BANGKOK CITY

“

It wouldn’t be called Thailand if you don’t let the sun flood on you. Can you still remember, when was the last time you sense the breeze of the wind or that scent of the street food you love? Perhaps, this is the time for you ... to acknowledge the body’s Emotional Experience with all of the senses you have.

“

As it can be seen from the sections, the rise and decline of the slope represent the collective program while unconventional accommodation units appear as boxes, provided for the visitors to stay overnight, located between the collective programs and hung underneath corridor which can be entered by spiral stairs. However, what makes this place become unique is that visitors would not allow interacting with the context until they reach the collective programs since, in each program, there is an aperture provided for perceiving the feeling earn from the c o n t e x t . In terms of materiality, as it can be seen from the drawing, the enclosed part was made of concrete while the open part is completed with the wood structure covered with a glass surface.

The Sensory Ring

LIVE DIFFERENTLY.

A new way of living is conveyed in the bedroom. The accommodation composes 4 types of accommodation units. First of all, a room of texture, connected between the ground and the building where allowed guests to touch the texture of the paving system or the facade of the surroundi n g s . Secondly, a room of scent is provided for guests to sleep on the nose of the room which uses for collecting the smell of the context. Thirdly, a room of noise, allowed guests to sleep on the megaphone structure that was used for amplifying the sound of the context. Lastly, a room of view worked as an Obscura camera used for capturing and projecting the perspective of the context inside the room. Each bedroom is spread and placed related to the distinctive point of the context giving the dweller an extreme experience. To give an example, the room of scent that is placed over the street vendor of JJ market might allow the dweller to enjoy the delicious smell of the street food while the room of scent that located over the Chatuchak park might allow them to enjoy the scent of flower or tree instead.

PORO CITY

Sociopolis revisited Coperate with Andrea Paola Rubio Paredes & Suwapat Rodprasert

SOCIOPOLIS The project is developed in ‘Sociopolis’, a proposed urban development project, planned and partially realized in Valencia, Spain during 2002-2010. The design intended to instigate a synergistic, biodynamic community to house those typically underserved by municipal public housing efforts in Spain. PORO I CITY is a mass timber building, served to be a residential program in which 20% of the building is provided for Recreational & Sports Facilities. It pursues an architecture of in-between recreational spaces, floating and connecting systems that allow better ways of creating different typologies of public space that promote more collective interactions between all users. Through the flexibility of mass timber construction, thermodynamics, and self-sufficient strategies, Poro-city provides feasibility to re-imagine cities that can re-adapt socially, economically, and sustainable ways of living.

PORO I CITY

COMMON AREAS The building provides 2 main common areas responding to the recreational program. Common I , located in the heart of the building, which served as the public area. The intention is to create an open, clean space as much as possible. In contradiction to the rooftop part, Common II which is performed as sport areas for the residents, the programs are placed between the timber truss structure which allow people to enjoy the activities surrounded by the complexity of composition.

HOUSING UNITS There are 2 types of housing units within this building. First, the single unit, located on the lower part of the building, distribute for temporary stay for young athletes who come here for the sport events. Meanwhile, the upper part, the mezzanine unit, provided for young couples or a group of families who enjoys a festive and active environment. Each unit will have there own private terrace and in order to tackle the ventilation issue, the unit is layout in 1 YES 1 NO to allow wind to flow across every single unit.

PORO I CITY

STRUCTURE RELATED TO PROGRAMS Poro-city believes in ecosystemic structures as a better way of doing symbiosis between architecture,structures and ecologies of human and non-human species, allowing better strategies for adapting spaces and approaching more sustainable cities and its future growth. Proclaiming public space not only on a ground level ratio but to integrate middle level spaces in buildings for a better thermodynamics performance as well as permeability for multiple programs and promote more collective user interactions. Because of its hybrid structural system, Poro-city’s design allows different ways of connecting and adapting buildings. On the rooftop level through a grid of wood trusses, structure and architecture are perceived as one, allowing multiple ways of living in public space.

BACKGROUND 1 big family , 4 houses under 1 continuous roof with a central connection would be a way to describe general overview of this project. The house is located between the big road, Srinakarin - Romklao, and Mae Chan Canal which is owned by Chakphet Family. The family consists of parents together with 2 sons and 1 daugther. The proposal is to build a house for them individually in which each of the units needs to provide rooms for upcoming members in the future.With the long trapezoid shape of the site, the house chose to come up with the idea of traditional Chinese housing in combination with a modern style of living. Under the constraint of Feng Shui, the zoning, materials, and orientation of every element become the important factors to concern.

BACKGROUND Unlike most new clinics crammed into small shophouses or commercial complexes, the client aims to create a spa-like urban hideaway for our patients. They want their patient to feel relaxed as if they are walking into a house of family & friends and at the same time, maximize the views of the lush green landscape from the patient lounge and 6 treatment rooms. Since the circulation and zoning between the dentist and patient need to be detached, the building is split into 2 main parts. On the left, filled with the timber structure, a more transparent appearance provided public function mostly for the patient. While on the right, a solid concrete mass, contributed to the dentist's working space.

NATURAL ANATOMY

Regarding the architectural aspects for both facade and interior walls, the building represents the anatomy of teeth and gum graphically by bringing the proportion and curvature and turning them into playful and functional elements. On the facade, the gradual change in different ratios of the curve gives the distinctive shades of shadow projected on the facade. By flipping some part of the curve, it allows the light to penetrate through during the day while at night the interior light shines out and brightens up the facade aesthetically. In the patient lounge, the arc is simplified and turned into decorative elements in which some parts become complete cylinders that act as dental product shelf together with a flower and plant vase.

The project dedicates to designing a dwelling for zen monks who live or come to visit in Chiyoda where located in the center of Tokyo, Japan, and is also known as the housing for numerous religious, historical, and political buildings. The dwelling was designed to live over a decade and also be able to grow up in the future ( due to the increase in the number of dwellers ). By looking into the activities of zen monks that occur in daily period times whether it be the ordination ceremony, meditation, or the other religious purposes. The proportion & body posture of the monks through each activity becomes the main consideration for the design.

ABANDONED LAND MANIPULATION Supernatures

The project looking toward military system in Thailand by analysing through the military hierarchy and organisational systems. The main objective for the project is to find the possibilities ( which could be done by Thai soldiers ) to turn the abandoned area in Thailand to become fruitful as it used to be by integrating the military training program with the land manipulation process. Ti be obvious ,the design is relied more on managing the landscape than finding new strategy in architecture .As a result , the land would not only become regenerated but it also become a land use for military basecamp.
