CHANCE Chance project is inspired by “AMIDAKUJI�.

Amidakuji is a method of traditional drawing lottery in Japan. The models show 3D line that I got by chance when I random selected the number on the top of the line in the Amidakuji chart.

BODY EXTENSION Body extension project is a product design project inspired by the vision of eagle and owl. The design is to support the need of users who wear many glasses and love playing sports. For this design, glasses are fixed with a cap. The cap has a space for keeping things such as lens, earphone. The lens of the glasses can be changed.

VISUALIZING MEMORY

Visualizing memory of “THAILAND� Exhibition This project started from the research on history of Thailand. The history can be divided into 3 parts, Ancient Thailand, Middle Age and present-day Thailand. From the research, we started with analysing and transforming the history into pictures, symbols and words to show characteristics of each period and made a model to show the visualization. The model shows how Thailand changes from the past to present. The shadows that overlay on the white sheet are shown as the history in Thailand. When people walk past each layer, their shadow will cross the shadow on the sheet and it will highlight the shadows of the past of Thailand.

BACKYARD 39

Social space for retirees Life after retirement might seem happy, free and enjoyable but when the time pass, it seem to be lonely and depressed since it is a big life transition period from busy social working life that surrounded with many people to free and unsocial life. Some of retirees are living alone and do not feel so energetic and unhappy.

BACKYARD 39 is a space for socialization mainly for retirees, who live in city area, especially for single female retirees and housewifes who have more free time to serve their lifestyle and to provide them with a place where they can spend time and do activities together that leads to adding life values, avoiding their loneliness, creating new society, making new friends, relaxation, pleasure, enjoyment and healthy life. It located in middle of residential area at Sukhumvit 39 road where surrounded with many condos, apartments and houses and also have many school nearby. It is easy to access and also has a park that full of trees which provides a nice natural atmosphere and fresh air, suitable well with retirees’ lifestyle and interests.
