Philip Johnson once said, “Architecture is art, nothing else.”, “Architecture is the art of how to waste space.” I also believed that art and architecture are connected in some ways. Art and architecture has dependably been my true passion, and every form of art has enamored me since I was a little kid. I sought pleasure, for instance, in my surroundings seeking different forms of art. The building is the first and most fascinating thing for me, after that, I start to explore diverse countries, such as the USA, Canada, China, France, and England, which has allowed me to reflect upon extrinsic lifestyles and completely drench myself in different dialects and societies. As I move from one country to another, I capture the images of these cultures and designs through sketches and photographs. Over and over mementos transport me back to distant lands. This chance to consolidate my adoration for architecture and design with a career is a once in a lifetime. Through my work experience as a university student, I’ve come to realize that architecture is a special bridge between the creative mind, reality, and imagination. Throughout the most recent six years, I have work experience in the fields of several projects related to both architecture and interior design. My passion in arts and architecture encourages me to be a lifelong learner, I love to experiment on material manipulation.

Mystify Contemporary Working Achieve | 2015-2021
/ Published in INDA Parade&newspaper : 2018 /
| INDA |Bachelor Of Science in Architecture (RIBA I) | 2017 - 2018 Anhui, China Prof: Nuno Sousa
In term of architecture Mystify Contemporary is a blog of everything that makes the city a space for people. By studying the behavior pattern of Anhui ’s people as being a social group which separated into local community and tourism since the area become the UNESCO ‘s world heritage. As the site located in dense area between valley, most of the local people have been confronted with a lack of privacy as a noise pollution caused by tourist and living in uncomfortable situation as tourist are the creation of conflict system. The objective of “mystify” strategy aims to reorganize the social interaction in between the inhabitants and tourism in order to advise dweller to having a good coexisting environment between each other by merging existing local area with host house for tourism. To design the basic interaction devolved to further interaction with local, is to reorganizing the space as a maze-like within street pattern as main concept of circulation which can only understand by local people.In the same way, it will force tourists to explore the space by themselves or making a conversation with local. Emphasis on open space to be a connection between each program in order to set up a criteria of the space.

According to the studies of Anhui’s architectural style, the layout of the house is in 3jian(house) theory and each room is deepper than its wide. The living space aline with heaven direction in between each zone there are tianjing or skywell with slope roof eaves on top to collect rainwater in the courtyard before draining outside which express the hope that good fortune will not flow out of the house and also catching passing breezes and clear interior heat in side the house.
The design proposal is creating a new system to the whole habitat by using grid system to create patterns; setting criteria by using open space as a connection between social program and living space. Following by the pattern rules; 1.courtyard surrounded by circulation 2. Having an inner courtyard between to unit in order to create an interaction in outer and inner space.

In-Betweeness “The empty space between two extremes, two contrasting conditions in rural society: In-betweenness” “Adaptation as bridging” In-Betweenness equal less distant, in general the gap between thing is an empty space, these idea are explored in soi Ruamruedi context of Ploenchit. Where two extreme class of people are breathing in the same area and their routine coexists, consequently both upper and lower class have an opportunity to contribute and collaborate with each other. Exploring how architecture can establish a concept of non-space to form a ‘re-connecting’ people, with architecture incorporate with existing infrastructure in order to embrace people to interact and feel the value of relationship in between their community.

The main proposal of the design is to merge an extraordinary differentiating of society in the range which obvious happen in between the upper infrastructure level and local street life. In order to reducing the division between on the upper level and what underneath to grow the exchange routine and growing the relationship of the user which are people who walk pass by through the walkway and local people who live underneath the walkway. Through a device in relationship between existing and unused development will emerge to the plan by utilizing the concept of parasitic design and the space between structure. Using architecture as mean of altering perception of people and connectivity in between space and interconnection, generating a new closely community without social stratification. With natural condition in the site which is the water canal so, the device connect people to nature as generating the quality of water. 4

| Master of Architecture 5th year (ARB/RIBA II) | 2020 - 20121 Royal Docks, London, UK Prof: Armor Gutierrez Rivas & Rosa Rogina
The project rethinks a new cycle of seafood waste, oyster farming and bio energy while offering spaces for recreation, habitat creation, and nature-based education. The site is located next to King George the Fifth Lock, It used to be the lock so my proposal aims to reopen the lock again to provide oyster farming in order to filter the water before going into the dock and provide connection between the North and south neighborhood. I want to break the feeling of enclosure in the area by opening up to the waterfront, making space for developing and sharing skills. As well as connecting green fingers to the site. To reconnect people with nature, the project attempts t o secure more sustainable livelihoods in both natural landscapes and riverscapes to improve life’s cycle of the ecology. My whole concept is using the oyster cycle and components to form architectural elements: Oysters can filter water and their shell can be building material. Algae as oyster food→ Microalgae, can outperform other renewable resources like heating energy and biofuel. Improve carbon footprint and presenting opportunities for on-site energy generation. Consumption rates of seafood by people in Uk rising very year and that result in more seafood waste so I started to look at seafood markets and seafood restaurants to collect seafood waste and transform them into building material. The result is a new civic space and bio community centre with a diverse educational programme promoting bio energy and social engagement that connects the community to the region’s riverfront heritage. / Published in unit8 instragram : 2021 /

Algae
Oyster
Oyster shell
Microalgae, as a plant-based biomass, can outperform other renewable resources with their potential to absorb CO2, recycle wastewater, and release O2.
Oyster can help filter water as they filter the water for their food. An adult oyster can filter as much as 50 gallons of water a day.
Tabby is a type of concrete made by burning oyster shells to create lime, then mixing it with water, sand, ash and broken oyster shells.

Waste to best Working Achieve | 2015-2021
/ Published in Unit8, Barchitecture.studio,Archit_magazine Instagram : 2021 /
| Master of Architecture 4th year (ARB/RIBA II) | 2020 - 20121 Skopje, North Macedonia Prof: Armor Gutierrez Rivas & Rosa Rogina
My project is a recycled plastic platform and educational youth center in Skopje. Since Skopje is the most polluted capital in Europe and lacks waste management. The proposal is the educational youth center facilities with a waste trading platform and workshop, The project aims to promote active recycling, through which people can transform plastic waste into building material such as tiles or even insulation, in order to show the limitless possibilities of recycled plastic. All the ideas and design creates a sense of environmentally friendly for the youth to understand better and also raise awareness of the local community to save the environment. And also instilling in youth knowledge of giving without any returns and how to use waste material in a better way which can benefit the nearby neighborhood. And this could reunite people to make a better connection via the landscape as well as public space provided. I think the recycling community will be expanded by connecting these institutions with the local users and bringing together people interested in repurposing plastic globally.

| INDA |Bachelor Of Science in Architecture (RIBA I) | 2017 - 2018 Morongo Valley, California, USA Team leader: Kyle May Architect, I Stiffen Thee Collab with: Hello Wood, SCI-ARC
Extent is an installation that explores the spatial and visual limits of its environment. This hyper-programmed structure sits in the subtle landscape of Morongo Valley, California, gently landing among a field of sharp and prickly high-desert cacti. Suspended between two parallel walls, each measuring 60 feet long and 12 feet tall, are a series of platforms enabling activities of rest, viewing, and play. Extent performs as an instrument that is in constant dialogue with its context, reciprocally imprinting on and projecting to the site. The gridded bays capture, orient, and frame space in and around the surrounding canyon in an attempt to provide an exploratory base for future expeditions.

The Ghost House Ghost House is an experiment in material manipulation. Its form, created by suspending two glue-soaked canvas sheets over a matching pair of cubic structures, is directly dependent on the environment. The project site was chosen by studying wind patterns at various hyper-specific locations within Southern California’s high-desert. Over the course of a few hours, after its initial installation, the canvas froze into position, capturing a three dimensional snapshot of a specific moment in time.

BAn bat gate Working Achieve | 2015-2021
/ Selected project published in INDA Parade, INDA Newsletter, Space Saloon : 2018 / Displayed at the Instanbul Biennale of Architecture “A School of Schools”
| INDA |Bachelor Of Science in Architecture (RIBA I) | 2017 - 2018 Bangkok, Thailand Team leader: Gian Maria Socci, Rebecca van Beeck Collab with: Local Community
The Ban Bat community in Bangkok is one of the oldest and best known urban OTOP in the capital (One Tambon - province - One Product). For more than a century residents have been producing monk’s bowls following the methods inherited from the Buddhist tradition: the entire process is carried out by hand and the craft is transmitted through generations. As cheaper, industrial bowls from China are overtaking the everyday market, Ban Bat’s residents are struggling to reinvent their economy, catering to local and foreign tourism in order to preserve their traditions and identity while upgrading their precarious living conditions. This pilot project creates a new entrance gate to the main Soi. This public space provides shade, greenery and simple urban furniture, a space of rest for locals and visitors alike. A large mural, as well as detailed panels, introduce visitors to the history of the community and the process of bat-making while facilitating their navigation with the aid of clear maps and legends. The main structure is inspired by the metal-working techniques of the local artisans which allowed for their direct involvement in the construction process and ensure ease of maintenance with the community’s own resources. Special construction details have been developed in collaboration with Bangkok-based StudioMake to teach the students simple metal-work procedures, involving everyone in the construction while maintaining a safe margin of control on the precision of execution. In particular, a plug-weld joint connects all the main pieces together, avoiding the need for neat surface welds.

The Royal Resonance tackles the topic of the pandemic and social distancing with playful urban furniture that allows people to be together while remaining safely apart. In a design inspired by nature, several aluminium poles vibrate in the wind, performing as a riverside instrument and an art form. The modular design promotes both isolation and relationships between people and nature, forging local interactions as well as social distancing as a community safely.

AQQUUA FISH FARM | Internship at CHU Modern Company | 2019 Bangkok, Thailand Team leader: Supaporn Vittayakankovit
The professional experience at CHU Modern company in Thailand, This is the project design for fish farm in Chantaburi. These experiences have given me knowledge of the real industry and communication beyond the technical computer program. I was allowed to use AutoCAD for doing technical plans and sections to send to the factory, This was the highlight of my work experience as I was able to apply the CAD skills I gained from my Construction and Design course and put them into practice. I found all the placements insightful and beneficial, and they improved my understanding and technical ability when it came to sketching and designing. I’ve learned that no successful project emerges from a singular idea or a person. Gaining from the aggregate ability of my team has not only illustrated how each project involves more than simply designing a building, however, it has also additionally exhibited how making and dealing with a development venture is logical, organized, and defined.
