Director’s Statement INDA (International Program in Design and Architecture) is a four-year Bachelor of Science program in architectural design at the Faculty of Architecture at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. Founded in 1917 by King Rama V, Chulalongkorn is Thailand’s oldest and most prestigious university. Though rooted within tradition, national culture, and heritage, INDA, launched in 2006, emphasizes a diversity of design approaches ranging from the pragmatic to the experimental. In addition to fulfilling the standards of an international program, INDA’s curriculum management enables faculty members and students to propose and develop projects during the academic year. AnnuaIly, INDA offers approximately twenty option studios, ten Design Experimentation (DEX) workshops, and ten design-build projects as well as study-abroad opportunities including educational trips, international workshops, and exchange programs. INDA is an arena for well-rounded students to learn and develop their knowledge, skills, creativity, and criticality. In the past academic year, nine international guests were invited to conduct DEX. Each project instills students with unique methodologies and skill sets, emphasizing process and experiments over results. The DEX initiative is one of many that has strengthened our collaborations with international instructors and globally-recognized institutions. As we approach the 14th year at INDA, we are proud to have developed into a dynamic and rigorous academic environment with a strong focus on creativity and a happy spirit of community among all of our students, faculty, and staff who have made INDA a great success! As we go forward, we welcome new initiatives from our instructors and from our corporate, government, and university partners.

Editor’s Statement The International Program in Design and Architecture (INDA) can be characterized by its pluralistic pedagogy. Through its culturally diverse instructors, INDA offers a broad spectrum of ideologies, approaches, agendas, opinions, and interests that continually probe the limits of the disciplines of architecture and design. Conventional or experimental, traditional or contemporary, the methodologies INDA proposes are valued but also questioned. Students are exposed to an array of potential topics of exploration in their studio courses, but they are also challenged to formulate their own beliefs and convictions about what architecture is (or can be) for them. The established methods of teaching architecture and design are changing, and INDA embraces this change as it prepares students for a rapidly evolving profession and a dramatically more complex world by providing creative freedom and a versatile set of skills that can be deployed in any number of related fields. INDA fosters wellrounded students who engage globally-relevant ideas--including material research, technological progress, and social responsibility--and who therefore have the power to make substantial and profound changes to the way the world works. The design of this publication is meant to convey the heterogeneity of the school while also reflecting its collective identity. Multiple types of page layouts display studio work and more specialized courses (Design Experimentation workshops, summer courses, and exchange programs, for example) in formats that reflect their disparate approaches and output. Several spreads highlight the diverse backgrounds of our international instructors as well as the wide range of academic and professional trajectories pursued by our graduating students and alumni. This book provides a glimpse into the inner workings of a youthful and vibrant architecture and design program, presenting conceptual and technical design proposals alongside photos of the active everyday life of the school. We hope you enjoy it.

“INDA brings together instructors from different contexts and with a variety of interests, skills, and pedagogical preferences. This makes for a dynamic learning environment in which students are exposed to an array of perspectives. Students are taught to be both critical and creative, especially as they work at developing their own unique take on what architectural design is and could be.”
“INDA can be seen as a very broad and playful way to think and talk about architecture that challenges more canonical based methodologies.”
W
H
“The program offers freedom to explore and a faculty supporting of new ideas and challenges.”
A
“INDA instills in students a desire to explore and surface the deeper and broader content behind design issues, to use architecture as a way of thinking to offer creative solutions and seek out the unexpected and provocative. The diversity of design instructors, the range of programs (International Workshop, Design Build for Community, Experiencing Architecture, DEX, etc.), and the exposure to many different perspectives are some of the benefits of being a part of INDA. Students are capable of high caliber work which rivals many top universities around the globe.”
T
“The school provides a variety of architectural design learning experiences including practicality for professional industries.” “We help students connect with international ideas about design and architecture.” “If INDA were a person, he/ she would be an agile, well traveled, exceptionally openminded individual whose tolerance for diversity is skyhigh, and whose hunger for new experiences is insatiable. The student-faculty collective works as a well-oiled machine.”
“A wide number of characteristics define INDA. Perhaps most important are its open-mindedness, diversity, and its critical mass of energy and enthusiasm.”

S
“The INDA program and faculty provide very distinct approaches that foster challenging ideas of what architecture is, what the role of the architect/designer is, and for whom, what, and when we are designing. Students who have their own set of interests are given the freedom and guidance to explore, and those who are simply curious have a chance to be exposed to the many different ways that architecture and design can be addressed.”
“We offer a diversity of subjects and workshops as well as a good ratio between tutors and students We take our fun very seriously. We try to combine a ludic approach to learning with a curriculum that is always changing and evolving, one that takes some risks and demands personal commitment to our students. The school is trying to move away from a focus on standardized results and toward a focus on engaging experimentally with topics and methodologies that are relevant to a contemporary agenda.”
“In contrast to architecture and design students from other institutions, the graphic and visual communication skills of the INDA students is very impressive. INDA provides a rich crucible, both in terms of the origins and philosophies of the staff to introduce students to the possibilities of architecture and design as a discipline.”
“The students are capable of an extensive and intensive array of work, with a huge capacity for digital communication and model making. Some are able to react to different subjects and topics (that may not be relative to the act of building) that provide an often radical and meticulous dimension to the academic work. The program has a good variety of unconventional subjects that may or may not intersect with the act of machine architecture.”
“The exposure to diverse and peculiar methodologies, backgrounds, aesthetic references, ideologies, etc. encourages students to never stop exploring.” “INDA is multidisciplinary, open, and diverse.”
“INDA is unique in its perpetual development of experimental discourse. The program is not ruled by mantras and traditions, and continually reinvents itself. A fundamental value of ‘internationalism’ as such is based on everyone contributing, instructors and especially students!”
“Pluralistic and exploratory, INDA tests architecture’s disciplinary boundaries through a wide variety of design approaches and pedagogical methods.”
“The combination of diverse pools of instructors and students propels the program through compelling programs and research.”
“INDA is an optimistic young program that tackles the fact that life and society are changing and therefore learning methods and topics should be open to evolution and discussion. Through speculative inquiries, the students and instructors are challenged to build plausible fictions as keystones of project development.”

DEX 18: NEW PERIMETER
DEX 18: NEW PERIMETER The Design Experimentation Workshop this year (DEX 18) aims to question and challenge the disciplinary boundaries of architecture and serve as an experimental platform for students to investigate a broad range of topics related to architecture but not limited to buildings. We are currently witnessing a shift in the profession of architecture toward more complex and elastic operations that do not merely involve the act of building. As Dan Hill mentions in Future Practice: Conversations from the Edge of Architecture, occupations were once so static that we took our surnames from them: Smith, Cooper, Taylor, Potter...not any more. Today’s society requests more complex proposals beyond our field that engage other disciplines and collaborations. We search for the extension of our territory through the abolishment of centralized systems that deny a fixed perimeter. We are interested in the perimeter because we believe that in design, just as in ecology, the edge promotes greater biodiversity and that innovation occurs on the periphery, where the new perimeters of architecture are established. During the workshop, we will present a set of tentative experiments, toolkits, and methodologies that strive to involve different disciplines and approaches. Through these explorations, we search to educate strategic rather than static designers. In The Image of the City, Kevin Lynch claims that edges are often paths as well.

Luis Urculo lives and works between Madrid (Spain) and Ciudad de Mexico (México). He graduated in 2006 from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain). His artistic practice starts from anthropology, archeology, and criminology as phenomenological references that create lines of investigation on the ideas of reconstructing timelines, uncertain materiality, imprecise descriptions, and interpretations of reality. Fiction and the representation of diverse domestic geographies have also been the basis for the development of his work.
Hiroyuki Sasaki is an associate professor in the department of architecture at Meiji University. He is also a principal of Freedman Tung + Sasaki (FTS) Urban Design (Tokyo office). As a Tokyo-based urban design practitioner, his most recent research and practice focuses on the design of downtowns, central business districts, transit districts, and urban public spaces that make cities and towns recognizable and unique. Other recent researches focus on the same-scale comparison of districts and neighbourhoods in the Tokyo Metropolitan area and techniques of Form-based Coding. He has won the CNU Charter Award in 2007, an award from the Grand Boulevard Task Force in 2008, a California Redevelopment Award of Excellence in 2008 and several others.
Alexander Brodsky Alexander Brodsky is a Russian artist and architect, head of studio Alexander Brodsky, and a key member of the Paper Architecture movement. His conceptual graphic works, art installations, and pavilions reflect on notions of romanticism, nostalgia, and his personal memories. In his work, Brodsky often uses readymade and found objects.

Space Popular Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Hellberg are graduates from the Architectural Association in London, and they founded Space Popular in Bangkok in 2012. The practice has since completed built projects in Asia and Europe and participated in a wide range of international competitions. In 2011, they joined INDA at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. As second and thirdyear coordinators, respectively, from 2013 to 2016, they were an integral part of making the program one of the strongest undergraduate programs in Southeast Asia. They have led a wide range of research projects and workshops in Europe and Asia, and they have investigated topics such as masonry structures, spaces of political debate, renewable materials, and virtual architecture. In the fall of 2016, they launched a design and research studio called ‘Tools for Architecture’ at the Architectural Association in London. They are unit masters of Intermediate One where second and third-year students explore experience-driven design methods.

The students are asked, through a series of self-reflection exercises, to design a building/selfportrait of themselves. By stripping architecture of a site, a typology, a size, and a material, the student is left alone with his/her own reflections and aspirations. The result of this auto-critique and introspection is a project: the self portrait of an architect.
Self-Portrait of an Architect Instructor : Alexander Brodsky
On the first day, each student brings an example of a project he/she has realised in the past. Students tell the group about themselves, describing the activities they like to do besides architecture. Following the creation of the character of each student, they will proceed to realize a self-portrait using any sort of technique: paintings, graphics, photography, poetry, dance, etc. The results will form the basis of the project. Students can become any number of building types--skyscraper, hut, etc.

# Fatigue Instructor : Luis Urculo
fatigue - weakening of a material caused by repeatedly applied loads
Can we exhaust all the possibilities a material or an object can perform? This workshop creates a lab of experimentation and documentation resulting in a video installation as well as a publication that reveals a library of possibilities and an atlas of actions coded through hashtag definitions. We focus on intense relationships with objects, materials, and graphic representation of the gestures, responses, or behaviors that materials can create. Students learn the importance of small scale performance and its documentation.

DO Instructor : Oana Stanescu This workshop gives students complete agency of a project from beginning to end. Instead of waiting to be asked to respond to a situation by someone with a limited understanding of the potential of design-as is often the case with architects--
the students identify a situation on the Chulalongkorn campus that can be improved or made “better� through architecture, be it a space, a building, an intervention, or just a moment. This puts the onus on the students to challenge the environment that they navigate every day, while simultaneously defining the parameters and the measures of success of their own projects. They design their spaces ONLY through physical models and writing. The use of computers is strictly forbidden, but hand drawings are used as tools to aid the model-making process. 5

Embodying the Invisible: Building with Wind Instructor : Akane Moriyama What happens when we explore natural elements in relation to architecture? What kind of perspective/imagination will we gain when we free ourselves from established limitations of architecture? This workshop offers a different approach to architecture by building for (and with) the elements of nature. By using threedimensional kites as tools for investigation, we can test this relationship and obtain experiences that transcend theory. Similar to architecture, the kite relies on its relation to the wind. It is a product of structural engineering, material properties, aesthetics, and space. Three-dimensional kites exemplify a smaller scale of architecture.
7
By working with kites and the materialization of a natural element, we hope to raise questions about the world that surrounds us, to ignite the imagination, and to find new perspectives for architecture.

Immersive Capriccios : Tools for Architectural Imagination Then and Now Instructor : Space Popular
11
This workshop explores the potential within representation technologies as tools for architectural imagination. We bring together the worlds imagined by 18th-century Capriccio masters and those conceived by contemporary concept artists to construct all-around virtual environments designed to deliver experiences to the human imagination using advanced real-time simulation software--Unreal Engine by Epic games. 10
18
This tool allows us to inhabit our creations as we are creating them, unlocking possibilities previously unattainable even by the most advanced rendering engines such as V-ray or Maxwell. The final outcome of the workshop is a 360-degree animated virtual simulation of spaces inspired by the pioneers of architectural imagination--the Capriccio masters.

reHACKING // theHUMANsphere Instructor : Pareid In the post-human era, technology has reached a new level, and humans can no longer be considered autonomous from the realm of machines; we have effectively been hacked.
The aim of reHACKING theHUMANsphere is to create a hybridized sensorial environment through the combination of a mask and a projection that explores the relationship between the human’s ability to perceive, sense, and respond on a personal level—engaging both the human and the object in an affective loop.

Reframing the Perimeter : Chulalongkorn at the Edge Instructor : Sharon Haar
On many university campuses— and Chulalongkorn University is no exception—walls and gates delineate the precinct of the campus, setting it apart from the space of the city, whose functions it often duplicates, creating urban redundancy.
15
But if the chief purposes of a university are teaching, the creation of knowledge, and service— increasingly to surrounding communities just outside our university walls—our perimeters are also barriers, keeping students in while keeping the city out. They are interruptions of knowledge’s desire to travel freely through urban space and our desire to build new knowledge through collaboration. What would it be like to imagine the perimeter of the campus as a prompt for rethinking the boundaries of our discipline with its increasing porosity and diversity?

ARCHI - NATURE: Bang Kachao The “Green Lung” of Bangkok Instructors : Manuel Tardits Hiroyuki Sasaki
DEX18 ARCHI-NATURE Bang Kachao - "Green Lung" of Bangkok
Masami Kobayashi Antoine Lassus
Connecting built environment and nutural environ
19
Bang Kachao is located in the southeast of Bangkok. It is an island of about sixteen square kilometers formed by a bend in the Chao Phraya River, and it has been occupied by agricultural land with a small population. Due to its presence as a rich green environment in the middle of a megacity, it is referred to as the “Green Lung” of Bangkok and serves as a popular destination for nature lovers and cyclists. The project questions the relationship between architecture and nature and proposes a new destination for ecotourism that consists of research and educational facilities, guest houses, administrative buildings, restaurants, and other spaces. The objective of the project is to create a complex waterresilient environment that transcends the conventional academic boundaries of architecture and landscape.

Same Same but Different X4: Four Chiang Mai Valley Village Social Infrastructure Networks Instructor : Brian McGrath This workshop is sited on the newly developing periphery within the outer ring road of Chiang Mai Thailand, and it engages rapid assessment and participatory action methodologies from the social sciences in order to propose a system of architectural interventions that could maintain the quality and beauty of rural life within an urbanizing landscape. 22
22
In addition to addressing the interaction of design, social theory, and practice, the workshop also provides lessons in vernacular architecture, landscape ecology (including food and water systems), and participatory urban planning.

YEAR 1
DESIGN I
YEAR 1 SEMESTER 1 The Design 1 studio course offers an introduction to design methods and critical thinking. During their first semester at INDA, students are familiarized with fundamentals in geometric form, bodily performance, operative systems, spatial definitions, and human experience. Students learn to unfold arguments and raise questions through design and abstraction. The semester covers four design projects, each with distinct design and learning objectives. The discourse alternates between the physical and the phenomenal, the rational and the hypothetical; encouraging radical experimentation and considered argumentation. The first project is an introduction to form and gravity. Students will challenge the relationship between objects, forces, and motion along a subset of formal operations. They will develop a deep understanding into geometric form and systematically define and optimize structural and proportional characteristics in response to external, controlled conditions. They will also employ logical abstraction, operational criteria, and performative values through the construction of models and drawings. by Natalia Vera Vigaray and Tijn van de Wijdeven The second project allows students to analyze and respond to human interaction. The projects aim to identify behavioral relationships and operational logics based on body, mind, action, and narrative. The narrative leads to the design of a mediation device that physically responds to the body. Through this project, students strive to understand the intricacies of our bodily interactions with the immediate environment and question the way in which we interact with others. by Patxi Martin and Gian Maria Socci The third project introduces students to principles of aggregation and modularity. Students construct prototypes using standard dimensional materials and rule-based systems to generate formal responses. Central to this project is the documentation of the system, the relationship between its parts, and the behavior of the parts relative to a global assembly. The final outcome of this project results in the installation and documentation of the developed structures. by Peter Fisher and Pratana Klieopatinon The fourth project offers a fundamental inquiry into space and experience. During this project, students work with a selection of human experiences that will be addressed through space. These experiences are defined as ‘feelings’ ranging from notions of confusion to pleasure. After studying the physical elements that evoke one specific feeling, they will use these tools to design an interior space through an exploration of form and materiality. by Alicia Lazzaroni and Blanca Garcia Gardelegui For more information and student projects, visit: indayear1studio-1718s1.blogspot.com

Academic Excellence Award The project connects modules with a system and constructs a surface through the aggregation or assembly of singular units. The dome is constructed from modules with a tiling method. The curved surface is generated by the joints that allow the form to expand freely and create different densities.
The project also incorporates environmental transitions and obstacles throughout the interior space.

DESIGN II
YEAR 1 SEMESTER 2 The Design 2 studio course introduces students to notions of space, environment, and everyday life along two discrete projects. Building upon the topics in Design 1, students continue to develop a critical understanding of design principles through form and argumentation. In concurrence with the Design Tools and Skills Two (DTS 2) course, digital and manual techniques of design and representation are applied in the work, resulting in texts, drawings, images, animations, models, and other artifacts. Project 1: Situations One overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec, an avant-garde novelist, sits for three days in a cafe in Place Saint Sulpice and writes An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris. He describes precisely what he sees but avoids looking at the buildings, the church, the shops, or the sculptures that are the most commonly described elements. He claims: My intention was to describe the rest instead: that which is generally not taken note of, that which is not noticed, that which has no importance, what happens when nothing happens other than the weather, people, cars and clouds. The first design project of the semester appropriates the three key terms of atmosphere, context, and use, analysing small territories in Bangkok through a crafted registration device that articulates data of spatial and atmospheric conditions into a collective map. During the second phase, the observation device is upgraded into an experimental installation at the scale of a small structure. by Carmen Torres & Tijn van de Wijdeven Project 2: Metropolis "Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real." Jean Baudrillard, ‘Simulacra and Simulation,’ 1981 In this project, students are tasked with designing scenes inspired by an author’s words. Through an interpretation of their worlds and literary themes, students craft a new city story. Students design along decreasing, incremental scales of the metropolis moving from city (phase 1) to building and interior (phase 2). The first phase of the project requires students to challenge the concepts and realities of urbanity present in literary texts while the second phase inverts these qualities as students collapse scales into the design of a particular moment and place. Projects are materialized through drawn, imagined, written, and modeled artifacts. by Rebecca van Beeck & Tijn van de Wijdeven For more information and student projects, visit: indayear1studio-1718s2.blogspot.com

Design Tools and Skills Coordinator : Natalia Vera Vigaray Instructors : Patxi Martin Patrick Donbeck Sabrina Morreale Lorenzo Perri Design Tools and Skills requires students to develop spatial understanding through technical and conceptual methods of representation and communication across a variety of media. The course is understood as one in which the methodology is based on a series of daily workshops for students to be introduced to specific representation systems and techniques.
40
The objective is for students to have a complete idea of the tools and techniques they can apply to the definition of their own ideas and to foster their own individual graphic development. In these courses, we form integral connections between hand, eye, and mind in the study and practice of freehand drawing, technical drawing, physical and digital models, perspectival scenes and environments, and a wide range of prototyping methods linked to the INDA Lab facilities.
41
In each session, students learn how to develop specific representation techniques of simple spatial arrangements; as a result they develop not only their graphic quality but the crafting of their physical models. The learning content of the course is tightly coupled with the concepts introduced and projects conducted in Design One and Two. While the two courses are separate, they will act as a feedback loop to reinforce and contextualize the other’s content. By the end of these courses, students learn new vocabularies, are equipped to create analytical drawings, construct images, create animations, edit video and construct models of various materials and scales to clearly articulate their concepts.
42
Introduction to Environmental Design Instructor : Surapong Lertsithichai This course requires students to understand the two major factors affecting the design of the built-environment--human factors and environmental factors. These include physiological, psychological, behavioral, and socio-cultural influences on human perception as well as the sense of place, spirit, mood, ambience, and human comfort of a space (temperature, vision, and sounds). Topics also include how climate and geography affect the design of vernacular architecture through building orientation, shading, ventilation, and passive cooling.

‘This expedition aimed to change points of view, inquire about what we’ve accepted as common, and allow our minds to accept the possibility that things can be different as we are used to’
Instructors : Carmen Torres Pau Sarquella INSIDE OUT JAPAN does not focus on a particular typology, style of architecture, period of time, or location, but rather examines a transversal view of the country. To avoid the dizziness of information overload, we focused the research on a specific type of space, which can be found in all visited sites--the boundary space.
Inside Out Japan
‘allow our minds to accept the possibility that things can be different from that which we are accustomed’
After a selection of specific spaces, meticulous observation, and reconstruction through digital models, the group created a common catalog featuring gates and gardens, front, back, and side doors, engawas or “in-betweens,” windows, balconies, and terraces.
INSIDE OUT JAPAN BALCONY
These boundary spaces are related to beliefs, traditions, habits, social protocols, privacy and exposure, behavior, climate, seasons, technology, logistics, security, material availability, and local knowhow. They can be found in multiple forms and types, from vernacular constructions to the speculative proposals of the metabolists and the most contemporary projects. This topic is especially relevant for its close relation to human scale and for its everyday nature. So common, so domestic, so publicly exposed, and intimately experienced, these hinge spaces are above all mechanisms of interaction.
The expedition aims to change points of view, inquire about what we’ve accepted as common, and allow our minds to accept the possibility that things can be different from that which we are accustomed. A curated (and sometimes purposefully) excessive list of sites to visit allows the group to continually compile references and experiences that can later be used in the design process.
50 RESTAURANT TERRACES OVER THE RIVER KAMO Kyoto
Sonic Spaces – Sound and Architecture in Berlin and Hamburg Instructor : Will Hulbert The interaction between sound and architecture was the leitmotif to our 2018 research trip to Berlin and Hamburg. Students were asked to perceive the significance of sound (or silence) to their experiences, feelings, and memories of spaces and to begin to understand what Peter Zumthor calls the “sound of a place.” In Berlin, a workshop organized by the Holocaust Memorial provided a deeply emotive and soul-searching experience as students were encouraged to question how to appropriately honor victims of discriminatory regimes. Students visited Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum and its “Memory Void,” walking over the heavy iron faces strewn across the floor of Menashe Kadishman’s “Fallen Leaves” installation and listening to the clanking and grinding iron plates as they echoed through the tall empty space. Hamburg is a city in flux. The shipping industry has relocated to an expansive new container port at Altenwerder to the south of the Elbe, and the historic inner city harbour district is in a process of urban regeneration, crowned by the beacon-like new Elbphilharmonie by Herzog & de Meuron. Global shipping remains omnipresent, and students delighted in the spectacle of the Elbe Jazz Festival - staged in the Blohm & Voss shipyard against a backdrop of towering cranes, vast ships, and bellowing foghorns.
‘a deeply emotive and soul searching experience’
As a record of the trip, students prepared an “Experiential Panel” or cognitive map, capturing memorable elements that differentiated the places they visited. Students accompanied this map with a music track digitally sampled from field recordings--an “audio memory” capturing the unique sounds of the place.

Learning from China
Instructors : Patxi Martin Natalia Vera Vigaray Learning from China is a journey that invites students to explore the rapid evolution of the principal Chinese mega-cities. Over the last three decades, and after centuries of isolation, China has experienced an unprecedented change largely due to the economic reforms of 1978. Chinese cities have been radically transformed by the development of a worldwide manufacturing economy, sometimes preserving traces of their ancient culture and traditions.
This program offers a journey through three cities that demonstrate this vertiginous evolution in different ways; Beijing, as a main cultural and institutional capital; Shanghai, as a cosmopolitan and wealthy center; and Shenzhen as a huge manufacturing hub. The trip proposes a methodology that includes urban exploration and documentation as primary tasks. Students are required to construct an analytical narrative of their entire journey with a single-use disposable camera and a limit of only twenty-seven analog photographs.

In the summer of 2018, students from INDA joined forces with students and faculty from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-ARC) to explore the high desert of Morongo Valley, California, as part of an international workshop entitled “Landing.” A multidisciplinary group of invited architects, artists, and engineers worked with students in designing and building exploratory projects and installations that were ground-zero for revealing, harnessing, and amplifying the elemental potentials of the site. Projects ranged from large constructed base stations for observing the surrounding landscape, to artist-led installations focusing on aspects of geology, wind, and water.
‘a combination of analog and digital surveying methods’
Additional lectures, tutorials, and performative field-recordings dealt with ephemeral aspects of place, such as sound, energy, and atmosphere. Through a series of curated exercises, students were trained in a combination of analog and digital surveying methods, environmental sensing technologies, hands-on building tools, and collaborative virtual design devices.

ASEAN Dual-City Joint Workshop Instructor : Antoine Lassus
The ASEAN dual‐city joint workshop is a four-year collaboration from 2017-2020 with partner institutions in Southeast Asia. The second year of the workshop is in Yangon, Myanmar. The workshop is partly funded under the “Re‐Inventing Japan Project” which supports collaborations among universities in Asia. As a co-hosting institution, Meiji University is collaborating with seven partner schools in
six ASEAN countries including Yangon Technological University (co‐host institution), Chulalongkorn University (co‐host institution), Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture, the Royal University of Fine Arts, the Institute of Technology of Cambodia, the National University of Singapore, and the National University of Laos. Students are asked to develop strategies at various scales--the international and national scale, the regional and city scale, and the local scale.
‘projects that are tangible at the local scale and articulate design challenges and problems’
While developing a vision and a strategic framework at the larger scale, students must focus on projects that are tangible at the local scale and articulate design challenges and problems. Students work in small mixed international groups that explore architecture, planning, project development, sociology, politics, and other fields.

Playscape Instructor : Payap Pakdeelao
This past summer, eight third-year INDA students participated in a series of international design workshops in Taiwan. The programs were developed in collaboration with Professor Mengting Tsai at the department of architecture of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Taipei, Professor Wang Mingxian, Tunghai University Taichung, and Professor Chen Qiren, National University of Kaohsiung.
At the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, students collaborated with Taiwanese undergraduate and graduate students in architecture, forestry, and engineering to propose a timber structure that spans forty meters. The results were rich and daring in their multidisciplinary approach to architecture, design, and engineering. In Taichung, students participated in an urban redevelopment design charrette
‘daring in their multidisciplinary approach’
for the Taichung Old Town organized by Tunghai City Research Unit and local architects. Professor Wang presented a lecture on the culture of timber architecture in Taiwan and invited students to visit his studio where students interacted with young Taiwanese architects and learned about traditional and contemporary timber construction. At Tunghai University, students were asked to use their newly acquired skills and knowledge of Taiwanese culture, tradition, and design to examine the planning and architecture of the campus and to analyze the innovative tectonics employed in the design of the architecture. The workshops culminated in Kaohsiung where students visited the construction sites of newly-developed mega projects on the Lovebay waterfront and imagined an additional building to complete its redevelopment.

Renewable molds at the Consortium for Research and Robotics Instructor: Patrick Donbeck This workshop is an opportunity for students to gain exposure and experience working with the largest industrial robot in New York City at the Pratt Institute School of Architecture’s dedicated robotics facility in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The workshop introduces students to the digital workflows associated with robotic fabrication as they enter into the prototyping loop of an ongoing project in material and production research with Pratt Faculty at The Consortium for Research and Robotics. Over the course of two weeks, students participate in the generation of g-code, the development of tools, the design of patterns, and the casting of substrates in the production of architectural panels.
‘a never-ending supply of formable substrate with zero waste’
56
The Consortium is researching renewable molds and robotic casting onto shaped sand terrains. Researchers use the 6700 robot to carve or draw into a 4′ x 8′ bed of granular sand material to make complex geometric patterned landscapes. A temporary binder is sprayed on the sand to harden it so materials can be cast on to it. The binder under development is highly evaporative so that once a cast tile hardens, it can be removed and the sand can be sifted and used over and over again, producing a never-ending supply of formable substrate with zero waste.

An open-ended toy or game can educate through a developmentally appropriate hands-on experience. The objective of the game is to transfer water from the starting point to the finishing point. The player needs to design his/her own water channel by using the prepared pieces of structure. Water will be measured at the end of the game to determine a winner or set a record; therefore, the players require basic skills of calculation, experimentation, and creativity.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN I YEAR 2 SEMSTER 2
Architectural Design 1 leverages a biological framework for businesses and their corresponding identities where the genes, norms, and memes of business help speculate which tangential species exist (in material and program) from the departure point of pre-existing business models. Within a cultural context of contemporary business futures (for example, innovation, enterprise, rebranding, research and development, flagship endeavors, philanthropy, cyber crime, trials, experiments, spin-offs, collaborations, etc.), this semester looks into the cultural unit of the meme and its potential relationship to a unit of architecture. The concept of the meme, as a fusion of types and techniques, injects cultural content into a material-based design and experimentation studio driven by brand genetics.

The project is a combination of multiple brands that are mostly related to the food industry. Just (For All) is a food development company that uses science to create “eggless eggs” made from plants instead of chickens. They have developed a substance that actually has the same taste, texture, and “experience” of a real egg. Pressed Juicery is a beverage company that emphasizes the freshness and the integrity of their products. Owens Illinois, the world’s leading glass bottle manufacturer, focuses on the transparency of its products and the honesty of its processes. The companies haven’t been completely honest, though. For example, Just (For All) was involved in a scandal in which they sent their workers out to buy their own products and increase sales.
70
The last phase of the project attempts to solve this problem by finding another way to increase sales without scandal. By referencing three molecular gastronomy processes--gelification, emulsification, and spherification-the project creates a theatrical experience restaurant to attract customers. The building simulates these processes in its spaces, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors. The keywords of “trust” and “transparency” have also been represented in this restaurant by allowing customers to walk past a dome full of transparent cooking spaces so they can see all of the processes.

Fundamentals Of Structural Design Panchaya Sonkom, Ramita Yibmontasiri, Pakjira Itthisang
Instructors : Scott Drake Will Hulbert Antoine Lassus Thomas Lozada Martin Schoch Gian Maria Socci Pannasan Sombuntham Wisarut Wattanachote
Kanchaporn Kieatkhajornrit, Rujirada Juthasantikul, Proudwarin Phannachet, Kritnara Kroongjit
Fundamentals of structural design introduces students to basic principles of structure, construction, and environmental technologies in buildings, and their implications for architectural design. The course covers the materials used for building, their processing, transport, and assembly, and how their physical properties affect structural and environmental performance. Students also learn about building loads, types of structures, and the relationship between structure and building form. The main project of the semester requires students to synthesize their knowledge of structural systems, materials, aesthetics, and ergonomics to design a bus shelter.

History and Theory of Architecture Kritnara Kroongjit
Coordinator : Peter Fisher Examining and interpreting the languages of architecture and those that have shaped the world is crucial to the development and shaping of our own design languages. It is only through the survey of these architectural languages in history that we appreciate and value what buildings say today. The ways in which languages have been modified, edited, and reshaped to morph and change into new distinct expressions is similar to the process in which DNA modifies and reconstitutes over generations in families and societies.
Vich Vichyastit
The History and Theory of Architecture program aims to introduce students to these strands and patterns of historic architectural languages. Over time, these didactic languages are transferred through the copying, reviving, and modifying of styles, through the practice of architecture, and through mentoring generations of architects and designers. In the Design III program, students are asked to examine this language in a selected educational building as a case study. These buildings represent and articulate some of the core DNA of these architectural languages and their conveyance of institutional identity.

DESIGN-BUILD
DESIGN-BUILD In Design-Build projects, students will work in a group under the guidance of an instructor on a small scale built project. Examples include a piece of furniture for a public space, a gallery or retail installation, a small shelter, a food cart, an internal screen wall or ceiling, or other built objects. The intention is for students to observe and take part in all phases of the process from design through fabrication, including concept and sketch design, design development and documentation, procurement of materials, and on-site fabrication or assembly. The projects allow students to experience the process of transforming ideas into physical objects and to gain hands-on experience in forming and assembling materials. Considerations include cost and availability of materials, environmental impact, fabrication techniques, structural integrity, ergonomics, durability, and longevity. Where possible, the constructed objects should be available for public observation or use, either within the Chulalongkorn campus or elsewhere in Bangkok.

Bangkok Design Week 2018, an annual event organized by the Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC) invited the Thai creative community to share fresh and insightful visions of Bangkok with experimental design projects.
Spectrum Instructor : Thomas Lozada Assistant : Pitchayasukarn Prasertsri Manufacturing : Studio KE.TH
“Spectrum” is a design-build workshop that proposes an alternative application for plastic bags and examines the architectural properties of the material including color, light transmission, elasticity, and durability. Exploring the concept of “upcycled” materials, students have collected over 500 colored plastic bags, flattened them, and fused them together to generate a cladding surface that includes specially-fabricated segments with a double curvature.
‘Exploring the concept of upcycled materials’
The continuously-morphing pavilion structure consists of twenty-six powder-coated steel tube frames that provide different seating configurations, while its modular components and simple construction joints allow for easy assembly and disassembly to facilitate flexible reuse for future events. In fact, it was originally built at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) but was later reconstructed as part of MUI Fest 2018 on the island of Koh Samui.
BKK Domestic Tastes Instructors : Alicia Lazzaroni Antonio Bernacchi Assistants : Dew Panichakan Mekamp Kitwirat Euangaraya Sangpradab ‘Bangkok Domestic Tastes: a Tailored Speculation’ is a ‘tapestry’ that reflects on the promotion and marketing strategies of the real estate market in Bangkok through playful narrative techniques. Developed in a workshop with second-year students, it represents nine existing neighborhoods, aiming to reflect on the ‘lifestyle’ that each condo constructs, promotes, and sells. It highlights a disconnect between the standardized physical products, the built apartments, and their immaterial counterparts--the variegated lifestyles described in explicit and catchy advertising. The graphic realization is inspired by the representation techniques, color palettes, and compositions of traditional Thai mural paintings, including hybridizations of typical urban animals, recalling the iconography of folkloric mythological creatures. The artwork has been modeled in 3D, transposed into an elevation oblique drawing, colored and blended in vector graphic software, and later printed on cotton canvas with the addition of CNC embroidered elements. This allows for the inclusion of materials and colors that are important in a Thai context, like gold and other textiles.
‘a critical yet playful journey through the city’
‘Bangkok Domestic Tastes: a Tailored Speculation’ presents a critical yet playful journey through the city, while reflecting on how some of its important components evolve and shape its life patterns. The tapestry has been exhibited in the exhibition ‘999 Questions on Contemporary Living’, at La Triennale di Milano, it has won the drawing competition ‘The Island: Between Utopia and Metaphor for Reality’ by Library and Desplans gallery, and it has been published in MONU 29 ‘Narrative Urbanism.’

INDA Lab at Samyan Instructors : Patrick Donbeck Patxi Martin
As part of INDA’s occupation of its building in Samyan, we wish to involve students in the development of the existing facilities at the satellite faculty to substantiate Samyan as a maker space and a formidable resource for design production and exhibition at INDA. The project for the INDA Lab includes the renovation of old and new workrooms, the procurement, production, installation, and storage of tools, and the creation of a training program and new exhibition facilities.

Designing Informality: Inhabitable Chariots For Daily Rituals Instructors : Sabrina Morreale Lorenzo Perri
Bangkok streets are lined with ubiquitous stalls, makeshift kitchens, and a large variety of temporary structures selling food, clothes, and electronic gadgets. This urban condition represents the continuation of a long-standing tradition of informal trade within the community. In such a context, informality is an effective response to preconceived societal structures and an instrument to reorganize politically and formally imposed conditions. It is rooted in people’s daily lives, producing its own social, economic, and cultural sphere, manifested through symbolically charged objects and mundane rituals. This workshop expresses informality as an architectural device through the construction of an inhabitable chariot--a hybrid between a market stall and a religious baldaquin.
‘a hybrid between a market stall and a religious baldaquin’
Researching what the markets already offer, sell, and display, the students organize the goods without misrepresenting their informality and spontaneity. The chariot produces a spatial scaffolding that challenges the relationship between the actors that inhabit it--sellers, monks, musicians, and pedestrians. Through a series of designed rituals and informal gatherings, students highlight the mutual influence between people’s behaviors and designed elements. Students learn about the construction of movable structures, particularly the artisanal crafting of specific ornamental and functional components, to understand the connection between aesthetics, mechanisms, and spontaneous reactions.
YEAR 3
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN II YEAR 3 SEMSTER 1 FOLKROOMS There are many reasons why alien-designed, massproduced, and pre-packaged housing proposals fail. Conventional, functionalist houses are just another side of our global system, which considers a universal standard of housing to be appropriate in all situations and environments. Usually, this standard is simply a response to a dominant culture and context, resulting in an imposition of incompatible lifestyles generated by over-simplification and local cultural appropriation. People’s collective imaginations have become less diverse and aspirational, and many architects still rely on a very confined system of references, values, and objectives. Why should we study vernacular and endemic dwellings? What should we learn from these unique, yet extremely normal housing typologies? Our homes are the very core of our social and cultural conventions, the place in which all our personal and social desires are shaped and take form. They are generally the biggest economic investment of our lifetimes, and they are much more than the site they occupy, the materials from which they are made, and the techniques employed in their construction. A dwelling is a stage in which our lives are enacted and a shelter in which the rituals of our daily schedule are performed. Vernacular and endemic dwellings are complex typologies emerging from the interaction of many aspects essential to a specific society like territory, climate, social structure, living patterns, local economies and skills, availability of resources, local beliefs, tastes, symbology, etc. In every dwelling, these aspects are clearly present in its process of construction, its organization of space, its performance, its technical details, and its aesthetic repertoires. This knowledge seems extremely urgent to assist in the creation of appropriate living conditions, as cultures worldwide strive to meet increasing housing demand in the future. Consideration of such a wide variety of interrelated facets and variables is one of the main pedagogical objectives of the third-year design studio, which shifts the students’ mindset to a "full world paradigm" and expands their understanding of architecture (and, in particular, dwelling) beyond the pure notion of "building," toward something that is part of a larger social, economic, and environmental scope. Students are requested to reinterpret and translate their chosen typologies to our contemporary conditions, updating technical and performative aspects, understanding specific environmental wisdom, embracing popular aesthetics, proposing contemporary technical performance, and engaging social living patterns.

Based on the research of the Uros tribe of Lake Titicaca, the project re-appropriates the traditional use of totora reed, reflects on the inevitable impermanence of the structure, and questions the role of the architect. This project is both structure and festival with a large steel and rope structure and grid ‘ceiling.’ People are given flexible reed walls with wire mesh to create a virtually infinite number of components - tents, walls, dividers, doors, etc. Attached to a grid, they make both individual and communal spaces. Only structural span limitations and utility cores of water and electricity (points of attraction) ‘suggest’ the arrangement of the dwellings.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN III YEAR 3 SEMSTER 2 URBAN BREEDS During the second semester, students are asked to reflect on a large variety of properties, generally embedded in natural landscapes and organisms, to design collective urban breeds that can be defined as artificially natural environments deeply related to temporal factors in the context of Bangkok. Questioning the hygienist mannerism of clean, composed, controlled, finished, brand-new spaces, we decided to learn from the dirty, smelly, touched, everchanging, heterogeneous, and unexpectedly natural environments that already exist, restoring a real connection between society and nature. New kinds of imaginaries, materialities, and performances are needed to ultimately propose and support a new idea of beauty. Following the critical trajectory started in the first semester, we kept challenging the modernist aesthetic preferences that have often forced architecture to simplify real environmental challenges in order to achieve an elegant, clean, and composed formal result. The effect of this simplification has been an architecture focused on its own aesthetic, preferring the logic of coherence rather than the logic of necessity, isolating itself from both nature (flora, fauna, and local resources) and society (people’s needs and tastes). In order to reconnect architecture with both worlds, a double strategy was proposed. Connecting with Nature: during the design process, we imported a selection of qualities from nature to be incorporated as core values in our proposals. We used both biomimetic and biophilic strategies to learn about the innovative technical aspects as well as the psychological effects of nature. Conditions like flourishing, growing, breathing, storing, self-organizing, self-protecting, adapting, and mutating helped to define the main characteristics of students projects, in both technical and experiential domains. Through the exploration of these natural conditions, projects weren’t considered as permanent objects, unchangeable through the flow of time, but as living beings, devices with a differential obsolescence, approaching a relationship with time that could define their management, transformation processes, growth, and, eventually, decay. Connecting with Society: Students were also asked to design architectural devices that bring people together. The public acts that were studied didn’t coincide with very singular and special moments (rituals), but with all ranges of everyday life routines. Students examined how, from those typical activities, new collective spaces could arise, based on collaboration, interaction, and interchange among different agents. Alternative, renewed, exciting structures of publicity could be developed, starting with a deep understanding of everyday life.

Located in Talat Noi, an exclusive festival is set up to strengthen the sense of community, bringing back a daily source of entertainment, and preserving the culture by introducing a festival which will encourage community representation through materiality and performance. This festival is created to celebrate the rich history of the community with the intent to embrace not only the good parts, but also the bad and the ugly parts which would be portrayed through the cycles of materialization and performance. At the end of this magical three-month period, the festival reverts back to the community’s original state waiting to re-flourish again the following year, allowing new design possibilities with improved knowledge and better craftsmanship.

Located in a prime area alongside the Chao Phraya river, near the Hua Lamphong station and grown from the famous Yaowarat district, the Talat Noi historical Chinese community once flourished as the biggest second-hand auto-parts district in Bangkok. Today, Talat Noi has become a more calm and peaceful community, but it is still saturated with many small but historic buildings, embedding the qualities of a ‘real’ traditional Thai-Chinese community.
The device represents Talat Noi in two main aspects: its Chinese-heritage and its dominant material/commercial character (auto parts). It addresses the dormant period between festivals in Talat Noi and restores a sense of liveliness back into people’s daily routines. By using the bicycle, a mundane, cheap, and affordable mode of transportation which can weave into the small alleys of the area, the device creates a Chinese-Opera automata device by using the movements powered from the pedaling of the bicycle to make the sculpture on top come to life. The moving sculpture is created from scraps of metal and leftover materials from the festivals to create a daily source of entertainment for the community. The machine embraces the decay of fragile materials but uses vibrant, colorful paper to aid in the performance.

This studio addresses urban quality beyond immediate problem-solving concerns, focusing on the potentials of a holistic understanding of limited areas rather than overreaching remedies. The course encourages students to take a critical position towards the production of public space in the predominantly deregulated dynamics of Bangkok’s urban development. The very definition of “public” is indeed questionable in this specific context. Inspired by the vision of contemporary urban geographers, students have analyzed the publicity of spaces in terms of accessibility, porosity, and diversity to preserve and increase spatial justice and social participation in communal place-making.

What is “common” in Bangkok? How do people come together? How can we make a space that people of different backgrounds can enjoy together? Students have addressed these complex topics through a series of typical urban drawings--figure-grounds, Nolli maps, and axonometrics--deepening their inquiry step-by-step to reveal hidden relations often influenced by chance, circumstance, individual desires, and subjective evaluations. Upon understanding the tension between top-down planning and spontaneous appropriation, students have proposed rulebased tactics to impact social, cultural, and economic dynamics, exploring alternative modes of reading and redefining space.

In the first semester, students are required to develop a detailed study of the façade of the housing projects completed in their design studios including windows, balconies, and/ or shading systems. The aim is for students to gain a greater understanding of structure, construction, and environmental performance through a detailed examination of materials, connections, and construction sequence. Other considerations include installation, maintenance, weathering, and safety.
In the second semester, students learn the importance of environmental technology in architecture and the way various building systems act together to create habitable internal environments. The services project consists of a detailed study of the environmental technologies used in an existing work of architecture. Each student chooses a recently completed building and then uses various calculation methods to develop a three-dimensional model of the size and location of services such as elevators, fire stairs, air conditioning systems, fire services, and lighting. In this way, they learn about the impact of building services on overall architectural form and function.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR COMMUNITIES
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR COMMUNITIES In Design and Construction Projects for Communities, students work in a group under the guidance of an instructor on a small scale project intended for use by a local community. In this course, students gain handson experience in designing and fabricating an object or shelter, and they also engage in community consultation to determine an appropriate project scope and function. Communities served by such projects are typically deserving of assistance because of low income levels, social disadvantage, or an isolated or remote location. Projects undertaken for this course are typically small scale built structures, such as a library or amenities block, a book room for a local school, a small shelter for community meetings, or an installation for a public event. Students engage all aspects of the project from briefing to fabrication, including design, project management, documentation of community engagement, development of promotional materials for publication or fundraising, acquisition of sponsorship or donations, and organization of a community event to celebrate the completion of the project (opening ceremony).

This project combined the tenacity of the director of Dum Yai School, the inventiveness of students and instructors, and the resilience of the construction workers into a 300-square-meter kindergarten. The school is located in a 500-person town in eastern Thailand surrounded by rice plantations, and it provides access to proper education as well as quality meeting and playing spaces.
Dum Yai School
To make this possible, students questioned the brief and the available resources. By clarifying the educational and recreational needs, the group redefined the spatial requirements and expanded the scope from what is commonly requested to what is socially rewarding. The building uses a modular system that can exist as a partial building and can also grow in the near future. It is composed of four identical roofs, which represents an upgrade from the initial budget constraints. Rethinking the construction techniques and aesthetics, students reinterpreted the colorful context and the everyday mechanisms of the extended roof and eaves seen on vernacular and endemic architecture. They manufactured a colorful, easy-to-assemble awning

system that increases the area of the kindergarten by 50% with minimal added cost. Beyond the required classroom space, this intermediate space is vital to the everyday social and recreational activities at the school. The kindergarten also employs a passive ventilation system through the use of solar chimneys and uses the tropical climate to its advantage as it blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. By living on site during the construction, workers and students fostered an intimate creative environment that encouraged social bonding between people of different classes, generations, and backgrounds. With city students, international instructors, village kids, and rural workers sharing and learning from each other, the process has proven to be just as valuable as the final result.

In July 2018 twenty INDA students had the opportunity to be a part of the design, procurement, and construction of a book pavilion for a small rural community school for 6-12 year-old children in the rainforests of Ranong province, Thailand. As a way in to the project, students were asked to develop concept ideas around the theme of “floating.” Students agreed on their preferred concept, and the design moved forward through close teamwork with Meinhardt structural engineers. Students took the lead on the project and organized themselves into teams responsible for project management, funding, concept design, materials/specification, and construction/design drawings. Students came to understand cost discipline and worked hard to develop a lean design, while also approaching external funders to support the project. At the end of the design development stage, students presented the scheme to the school director, teachers, and children and addressed board comments from these user groups.
At the start of July we traveled to the site in Ranong to assist with the commencement of groundwork despite heavy rainfall that hampered progress through July (and gave new meaning to the “floating” design concept). Students worked closely with the contractor explaining design intent and construction details and assisting hands-on with construction activities from excavation of foundations to concrete formation and steel frame fabrication.
‘gave new meaning to the “floating” design concept’
The project exposed students first-hand to the challenges of sustaining and developing concept design ideas through to construction and realization, and enabled them to learn the benefits and personal rewards of close teamwork with each other and with engineers and contractors.

A new type of learning space was developed for this year’s Design Construction for Community project at the Drunsuksa School in Nakhon Sawan. The design uses storage for books as the basis for a new reading and study space that will help make learning fun for students. Using multiple platforms, the design enables students to find a place of their own to experience the adventure of reading.

Ban Bat Instructors : Gian Maria Socci Rebecca van Beeck
A series of participatory design workshops, meetings, and a communal ‘dinner and dance’ event were organized by the Thai students with the Ban Bat community in preparation for this design-build project. Residents’ opinions were oriented around three main objectives--to represent their identity in a mural, to preserve their craft, and to increase social activity. Everyone agreed that better signage and facilities were needed. Through an assessment of spatial challenges, it was noted that the entrances were undefined and difficult to locate.
‘to preserve their craft, and to increase social activity’
After a student design charette and approval from the Royal Crown Property Bureau, shop drawings were made for prefabricated bent steel pipes which were modified on-site with guidance from skilled workmen from local design practice, StudioMake. Once all vertical pipes and archways were secure and level, canvas panels were attached. In addition, an eight-meter-long mural represents each step in the bat-making process and includes scenery inspired by the alleyways.
One month after completing the installation, we returned to Ban Bat to hear feedback from the community and inaugurate the project. Residents seemed very pleased, especially with the mural and signage, and they shared some suggestions for how best to initiate engagement from an even larger number of residents.

Y4 OPTION STUDIO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IV & V YEAR 4 SEMESTER 1 & 2
"A braver, more generous, and ‘doubt-suspending’ judgment [...] might be to see his concept of an architectural practice - of an architectural life - as instead a way of transforming the world into a vast, shall we say, Multiversity, a place where one can learn anything and learn it infinitely, with discipline, imagination, respect, and most importantly, wonder." - Sanford Kwinter, ‘An improbable Multiversity’ in ‘Requiem for the city at the end of the Millennium’ The fourth-year option studios at INDA aim to celebrate the value of variety in approaches to design. This happens on many levels, as the proposed project briefs represent different scales, occupy different timelines, implement different processes, and deal with different topics, often touching multiple disciplines outside of the supposed boundaries of architectural design. Option studios at INDA reflect the heterogeneous pedagogical trajectories of the instructors. They pursue variation and therefore always avoid stillness and underlying comfort zones. In the quote above, Sanford Kwinter introduces the term ‘multiversity,’ a contemporary radical plurality of concerns, in reference to a seminal presentation by Rem Koolhaas at the last Architecture/New York (ANY) conference in the late 1990s where he showcased, one after the other, research on the extreme conditions of informal sprawl in Lagos, Nigeria, and a retail concept strategy for the high-end fashion brand Prada. Within contemporary design, these completely different worlds can dialogue in a fluid, highly heterogeneous disciplinary landscape. Perhaps this multiversity is what the designers of tomorrow--including INDA’s graduating students--should be able to confront. INDA option studios prepare students for any of the diverse trajectories they could come across today, and they suggest how to be conscious about the underlying purposes of those trajectories. The students’ selection of a specific studio generates the question of what fields and interests to prioritize, which constitutes a fundamental step in growing academic self-awareness. The proximity and exchange with other studio groups also gives a constant instructive exposure to other trajectories. Lastly, the variety of approaches to design implies a similar variety of methodologies. Given the extreme difference of situations that a designer may encounter, an important objective of the last year at INDA is to develop the tools and the personal and/or project-specific methodologies necessary to ‘learn anything and learn it infinitely.’ For more information and student projects, visit: https://indayear4studio-1718s1.blogspot.com and https://indayear4studio-1718s2.blogspot.com

Public Interiors Instructor : Carmen Torres
14
12
This studio reflected on large interconnected interiors as new three-dimensional public spaces of contemporary Asian metropolises. It aimed to understand and depict the current synergies of Bangkok’s proliferating multi-program public spaces through a continuation of an existing network. Starting from the collective mapping of the Siam area and a specific analysis of a few particular buildings/ complexes nearby, students designed portions of a ‘macro-interior,’ challenging the traditional notion of the hierarchy between spaces in an urban environment.
13
Play Gifts & Manipulatives Instructor : Patrick Donbeck
11
level of difficulties
Fröbel’s ‘Gifts’ were designed to be used in open-ended play activities, to help a child begin to understand the properties or affordances of objects in relation to him/herself and the surrounding world. Their implementation through sensory materials (manipulatives) gets used in the Montessori classroom to help a child develop and refine his/her five senses. These fundamental references represented the background of this studio, where new gifts have been developed with a strong component of 1:1 non-representational prototyping and physical/material exploration within the fields of form-making, perception, and ergonomics.

Radical Erasure Instructor : Tijn van de Wijdeven
Within the unique context of Shenzhen, China, this studio focused on the peculiar realities of ‘urban villages’ in a former special economic zone on the border of Hong Kong. These neighborhoods are the consequence of legal loopholes in the formation of the city, conceiving interventions at the intersection between architectural and urban scales. The extremities of free speculation allow this city to reconfigure itself spatially and socially. The paradigm of the studio confronted this ongoing degree of gradual erasure along the organization of common and private life within the perimeter of a block.

15
Marketplaces Instructor : Patxi Martin This studio takes the concept of ‘support and infill’ from N. John Habraken’s theory as a background to support research and propositions regarding heterogeneous and mutating spaces like markets within the context of Bangkok, which are essential to the traditional everyday life of Thai society. Reframing the concept of ‘market’ as an infrastructural urban device that allows multiple interaction with users, students envisioned multifunctional architectures that respond to principles of adaptability, flexibility, and reprogrammability of spaces.

Utthayan Instructor : Chon Supawongse
9
This studio concentrated on a broader understanding of ecology and strategic territorial intervention in the landscape, involving a very hands-on approach through multiple ‘off-grid’ field trips to different rainforest environments in Thailand that influenced the design of components and/or facilities for a national park. The studio aimed to escalate a level of critical thinking and broaden individual experience focusing on physical geography, forest ecology, vernacular construction, and resilient design.
10
126
Metaspeculations Instructor : Antonio Bernacchi
46
This studio approached ‘critical speculative design’ (as define by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby) to construct socio-political critical arguments using the tools of design and architecture. Based in the peculiar context of Singapore, a paradigmatic example of hyper-manufactured environment and society, each student conducted research on a specific aspect of the tropical nation state to later envision a plausible fictional scenario in a potential future. Architectural spaces were then developed within these frameworks as tools for alternative narrative inquiry about the topic. Within the perspective of critical design, the projects themselves are used as a medium to communicate the critical statement, providing a different inspiring aim for common disciplinary tools.
47
127
Urban Manufacturers 2.0 Instructor : Natalia Vera Vigaray
Taking inspiration from the topic of the last Europan competition, the studio proposed a reflection on the introduction (or reintroduction) and integration of productive programs within a central urban context as a critique to the functional segregation of modernist urbanism. It also envisioned new urban environments and relationships that profit from the traditional Thai mixture of living and productive spaces that can still be found in areas like Chinatown, which has been the main context of reference for the studio.

Very Welcome Instructors : Blanca García Gardelegui Leonid Slonimskiy This studio reflected on multiple phenomena within the broad field of tourism and its paradoxical condition today, searching for specific ‘nontouristic’ spaces in Bangkok and adoptingthe perspective of a temporary local, someone who engages with the city in a visceral way rather than just consuming it visually. Starting from field research around the city, challenging the contrast between cliché and authentic, the studio continued researching alternative forms of tourism. Later in the design phases, the projects aimed to merge the program of accommodation with a wide variety of other specific spaces related to different practices of contemporary tourism.

129
53
Waves Spatial Frequencies Instructor : Nuno Melo Sousa 35
36
This studio aimed to design artist-specific architecture, starting from a study and analysis of the music and personality of one particular performer for each student in order to generate an experience that merges design’s tectonics with the dynamics of physical, visual, and sonic actions. Through research on different performance spaces and their architectural features as well as the logistics and technicality of temporary stages for concerts and festivals through visits and field trips, the studio proposed a specific performance design, ready to be assembled and dismantled each time it moves around the globe.
TOD Instructor : Moe Ekapob Suksudpaisarn This studio focused on transit-oriented development in relation to the high-speed rail network in Thailand. Students designed facilities and/or other supporting spaces in the vicinity of Chiang Mai’s new station with the aid and collaboration of multiple consultants
to make a design feasibility study, utilizing project constraints as design tools. Students were required to initiate their project within the clearly defined framework of the site and find design opportunities through actual requirements, restrictions, and regulations. 2

Academic Excellence Award
Student : Kamonchanok Wongwiboonsat Instructor : Antonio Bernacchi Edible insects are not a new invention. When compared with livestock, they contain more protein, and require less space, less food, and less water while rapidly reproducing. So why shouldn’t we eat them instead? Is it because we still think of them as disgusting creatures? What if we could completely control them from feeding, growing, living, and harvesting, enabling us to see every process within an insect farm? Would you feel more comfortable eating them?
This project proposes insect living units, freely arranged and organized to fit within other residential units. The design encourages humans to better understand the food production processes involved with insect farming and to see insects as an alternative food source. You are what you eat!
Student : Kaan Vanapruks Instructor : Patrick Donbeck Domain of Coordinates is a visualization and isolation of a specific set of cards in relation to its entity and entirety; an infinite interpretation of a finite possibility into a system of coordinates within a spherical space. Through an established understanding of how tarot works and a rigorous exploration of monocoque construction for minimal surfaces, a system of coordinates that mapped the minor arcana of a tarot deck was established. The rolling totem was synthesized in a manner that resembles that of a tarot reading.
133
The Journey Instructor : Tijn van de Wijdeven This studio focused on the notion of a journey as the denominator of a project, geographically and experientially manifested through the construction of realities; the journey as a tool to reveal the transient nature of city and mobility, and to celebrate distinct moments/instances of (un) intentional delay; a journey not based on fiction, nor defined as a program or problem-oriented quest, but rather aimed to portray spatial and behavioural actualities and potentials of everyday life. Alongside multiple diverse methods of spatial and conceptual representation, the studio utilized filmography techniques extensively, involving various experts in the field from documentarists to movie directors.
48

23
21
Urban Animals Instructor : Alicia Lazzaroni This studio proposed to put in question anthropocentrism and embrace a more integrated ecological paradigm, including humans and non-humans together, through the design of architectural devices supporting ​ a reinvented relationship between different species​. After research on the physicality, habits, and traditions related to animal species present in urban contexts, the design phases started from a very small scale of detailed prototyping and were further developed at a larger scale. Projects were deployed through strategic interventions that generated new architectures of coexistence, wild new collective spaces that, with both imagination and rigor, fantasy and pragmatism, could create novel experiences from unexpected inter-species relationships.

135
40
The Risk of Realism Instructor : Antonio Bernacchi
51
This studio proposed a reflection on the relationship between architecture and real estate, with tension between experimentation and pragmatism as the title, borrowed from a peculiar lecture by AMO director Reinier de Graaf, suggests. The construction of imaginaries and aspirations through the use of different media in advertising and marketing has been one of the main focuses of the studio, in direct connection with the crude reality of quantitative parameters, crucial in the competitive realm of real estate. The studio went through different components of research on the use of specific elements in the construction of an imaginary and on the technicality of detailed housing design, to propose radical micro-innovations in the highly constrained field of condominium design within the context of Bangkok.
52
136
Archipelago: Marine National Park Instructor : Chon Supawongse 37
39
This studio concentrated on the marine landscape of a national park, envisioning new ways of intervention balancing environmental concerns with a broader set of considerations. The studio aimed to give a substantial opportunity to broaden design experiences across multiple scales including wildlife conservation, watershed reservation, sustainable forestation, community reforestation, resource exploitation, public education, and recreation. ‘Archipelago’ has been conducted in the wilderness through a field trip to Hat Khanom-Mu Ko Thale Tai National Park as an explorative platform for dwelling, coastal experiences, designing adaptability, and tempering physical and psychological strength.
38
137
Occult Totems Instructor : Patrick Donbeck
This studio proposed explorations of building-block-numbers and their capacity to describe and generate distinct systematic, formal, and narrative states. With a specific focus on the use of numbers in the definition of systems, the studio alluded to broader backgrounds of cartomancy, astrology, and numerology, which deal with numeric systems differently.

Referencing the project of the M ​ orph Genome​by the Indian-American Architect Haresh Lalvani, which systematizes all form into one continuous space of possibilities, the studio aimed to design minimal surfaces that divide space and generate form using continuously smooth and negatively curved (non-Euclidean) surfaces using the least amount of area (achieving an economy of material).

Urban Manufacturers 3.0 Instructor : Natalia Vera Vigaray In the third semester of ‘Urban Manufacturers,’ the studio explored and speculated on shared living environments in the city. As a way of inhabiting megacities, ‘co-living’ has appeared in the last few years as an alternative to the traditional rental and investing systems. Within the overarching thematic framework of the productive city, the main explorations have been developed to define urban environments as linkages of producing and living, in which the boundaries between private life, work, relaxation, and consumption become blurred.

139
Dance Of Water Instructor : Will Hulbert This studio project aimed to provide a residential center for the performing arts on a site beside the Chaopraya river in the northern part of Bangkok. Proposals focused on a present need of a Thai public charitable foundation that educates, nurtures, and excites interest in the performing arts among the public and artists throughout Thailand. Students have been designing to a real program, responding to a real client, and creating on a real site. Instead of viewing water inundation as conflicting with human activity, students have seen it as existing in a constructive tension between program, architecture, and environment. 41

One of the main objectives of this studio has been to prepare students for the architectural design and construction profession. Without starting with a new project, each student continued working on a design proposal and site from a previous semester to refine and resolve it while producing technical documentations for construction. The challenge was for students to keep developing the designs and conclude them as buildable projects with proper construction drawings. Requiring multiple interactions with consultants and experts, the studio operated as an apprenticeship, as students learned through reworking and management of their own projects.
141
Site-Specifically Beautilitarian Instructors : Chutayaves Sinthuphan Bea Vithayathawornwong This studio situated itself at the junction of architecture, construction, building, and infrastructure systems that respond to the practical necessities of today’s built environments. The studio conducted a collective investigation into the dichotomy between beauty and utility/mundanity in urbanistic, architectural, and interior contexts. It encouraged participants to take a critical stance, propose a mode of relationship, and then define and generate ‘beautilitarian’ design components that demonstrate this relationship both tectonically and aesthetically.
45
Components have been conceived as sitespecific – contextualized and tailored to real-life scenarios, actual requirements or predicaments, and/or existing buildings/structures in the Yaowarat district of Bangkok. The studio emphasized the development of custom architectural details, fabrication and construction techniques, construction drawings, and the production of physical mockups and prototypes. 18

Architectural Association Location : London, UK and Almeria Seaport Programe Director : Naiara Vegara Course Master : Marie-Isabel de Monseignat-Lavrov Course Tutor : Katya Larina
Autumn Semester 2017 focuses on how to integrate obsolete infrastructure into the city. As technology evolves, the ways we work and live change. Cities, as a result, need to adapt their urban qualities to perform differently. The design studio travels to the Spanish port city of Almeria to explore the logistical and commercial potential of the waterfront. Through group work, students will look at the existing conditions of the site and their relation to the city.
‘Cities, as a result, need to adapt their urban qualities to perform differently’
Here the city will be understood as layers of information that reveal drawing and mapping qualities and feed into the students’ own design narratives. By analyzing both tangible and intangible conditions, each student develops his/her own brief to target the specific design challenge of reintroducing old infrastructure into changing urban areas. 2

The project is based on the contemporary Maker movement which incorporates architecture and a DIY technology-based culture. Students examine the relationship between producers and consumers, research the cultural factors that affect or are affected by the maker movement, investigate the qualities and characteristics of the site in Tuen Mun, and search for an appropriate area for a maker community before designing their proposals.

National University of Singapore “Mayaka” is a design proposal for a mixed-use residential high-rise to be built on a land parcel in Queenstown, Singapore. Under the objective of the brief that stresses the design and fabrication of a tropical facade structure, the project juxtaposes a capitalistic residential arrangement and a Gothic semiology and creates a formal contrast between a jagged, zig-zag pattern and an undulating, rolling form.

NEWS AND EVENTS
INDA Parade
Design : Pau Sarquella Carmen Torres Assistants : Kamphol Kitwirat Euangaraya Sangpradab The INDA Parade, an annual event and comprehensive exhibition of student work across each year group, celebrates the diverse output of the school and encourages a dialog between students, instructors, and guests. The experimental and exploratory nature of the school is reflected in the wide array of approaches to design and architecture including nonlinear processes, material explorations, conceptual narratives, and unconventional media formats.
INDA hosted public lectures from four international guests--Merve Bedir, Natasha Sandmeier, Shumi Bose, and Enrique Nieto--who participated in studio reviews, provided insight into their design backgrounds, presented their current projects, and offered critical reflection on the variety of methodologies employed at the school. These productive exchanges contributed invaluable feedback and revealed potential new trajectories for the school moving forward.
Student Competitions Re-Habitat Prize : First Place Organization : Archstorming Competition Name : Coexist: Rethinking Zoos Students : Worawut Oer-Areemitr Chanakarn Assavasirisilp Thakan Navapakpilai Bemjama Prasertpan Instead of fencing a new territory for wildlife like a typical zoological park, we believe zoos should be part of the urban organ rather than being isolated. By understanding the existing context as well as animals’ considerations, we are proposing a new threshold between humans and animals, allowing people to publicly experience a so-called ‘Habitat Parc’ where they can rightfully use and observe the animals in their natural environment. This elimination of the ‘urban cage’ between human and animal citizens will lead to the enhancement of the animals’ welfare and also raise animal preservation awareness.

Bor·der noun a line separating two political or geographical areas, especially countries. + Bond noun come or bring together for a common purpose or action. MANIFESTO: RATHER BRING IN THAN DIVIDE In the world of communication, social interaction and global exchange of cultures, walls should unite people, not divide them. We believe that physical borders are no longer relevant in today’s context including US-MEXICO border. But if it is irresistible politically, we believe that the wall should attract rather than separate. And unlike a generic wall, it will be use for different functions and programs which questions physical borders and proposes transforming the typology of a wall from a space-divider into a functional public space, serving user of any gender, ages and races, promoting social interaction, provoke culture exchange, and improve quality of life at border. The Project is focusing on exploring ideas and program typologies of a public border park, creating a radical paradigm based on our manifesto about the dilemma of the physical border. By understanding the context of US-MEXICO border area, we have proposed various typologies of excitement park activities as a combination of 3 zoning; sports activities, gathering area and relax area, which we believe these could bring a lot of fun to the border, attract and gather people from both side, creating new community paradigms shift at outskirt.

The cabin is a reinterpretation of Marc-Antoine Laugier’s primitive hut as it explores the anthropological relationship between man and the natural environment. Each built component establishes a different dialog with the context, and together they define a varied sequence of isolation from and exposure to the environment. Vernacular materials and traditional handcrafted building techniques define its skin and its atmospheres. An abandoned structure found in the camp provides an unexpected and exciting challenge as we surgically intervene, design, and build in-situ. Students and mentors are challenged to find constructive solutions to unexpected problems through the use of materials and tools found on site. The construction process also challenges preconceived methodologies of architectural education by placing the idea of “making” at its core. Making the building with our hands is a way of engaging with materials, people, and the surroundings. The cabin becomes a speculative dwelling, a multifunctional social device in which one could test alternative ways of living and sharing together. Its wooden structure creates a vertical concatenation of spaces that define three layers of inhabitation: the ground, the refuge, and the roof. The cabin also frames the landscape, and the earth becomes part of its interiority. As a nomadic wooden structure built with contextual materials, it could be easily transported, replicated, and assembled anywhere by anyone with the urge to build one’s own cabin and reconnect with nature.
Antropotypes: The Self and The Palimpsest
Instructors : Sabrina Morreale Lorenzo Perri
Over the course of three weeks, twelve students from around the world sampled and represented London’s multiplicitous architectural self. ‘Antropotypes’ investigated the city’s main markets--traditional, touristic, or ethnic--as they have always been privileged spaces of accumulation to grasp London’s relentlessly evolving culture. Much more than a series of stalls, sellers, and buyers, they offer an effective portrait of contemporary urban rituals to London’s inhabitants and visitors. Smithfield meat market and Billingsgate fish market, two insulated worlds, were rich and raw during a 3:00am visit. Livers, kidneys, intestines, pig trotters–invaded all the senses. Fish scales, ice, styrofoam boxes, tentacles–an array of colours and textures. Fragments, moments, and interactions inform a dialogue with the markets–seemingly random elements stand out, forming narratives and personalities–’Antropotypes.’ Born from impressions, interrogations, and interactions in the market – four new characters emerge: The Wanderer from the East–an outsider, searching for a common language; the Grinder–constantly monitoring the goings-on at Smithfield and keeping intruders away; the Faceless–the quiet soul of the market; and the High Priest of Billingsgate– delivering the fishy beings from the sea to the plate with empathy. A peculiar snapshot of London and a few of its multiple selves define our crafted ‘Antropotypes.’

Biennalization In August 2018, Antonio Bernacchi and Alicia Lazzaroni participated in the symposium ‘Biennialization, Biennialization, Biennialization: the Bangkok Syndrome’ organized by TalkTalkVilion within the program of Bangkok Biennial 2018 with ‘Le biennali invisibili,’ a critical speculative fiction that reflects on the proliferation of cultural events across the globe. Paraphrasing the structure of Italo Calvino’s masterpiece of 1972 Invisible Cities, it takes the form of a dialogue between Marco Rossi, an Italian itinerant critic, and the director of the ‘Fondazione La Biennale,’ where Marco narrates his journey from Mongolia to Venice, and along the way he encounters a number of biennials with their curators, artists, designers, etc. From the metropolises of Sichuan, through the deserts of Kazakhstan, the Balkan regions, and countless other places, Marco has the privilege of coming in to contact with all sorts of imaginary events, held in
imaginary venues, and located in imaginary cities. For example, in the Biennale of ‘Faria,’ the artists fabricate their spaces from scratch and are constantly facing the challenge of waste reuse. In the Triennale of ‘Pausitania,’ inspired by Hans Ulrich Obrist’s ‘non-conference,’ the whole event structure and participants are present, but nothing is exhibited or performed (there are instead only coffee breaks). In the Biennial of ‘Sočmegrad,’ in order to avoid the bias of instinctive impressions of reality, everyone is fully covered and camouflaged, and all interactions happen only through social media. Through the meta-narration of Marco’s experiences and encounters along the journey, the role of the cultural machinery and debate in current times is put in question, together with the position of the wide variety of figures that are involved in the process of cultural production and their often heterogeneous or even contradictory agendas.

This installation represents a minute of plastic consumption in Bangkok. Over 50.000 plastic bags were collected from around the city to create this piece. We waste an enormous volume of plastic every day. The installation is constructed as a passage through five openings, each characterized by a distinct color and pattern. We want to demonstrate the beauty of multiplication, using techniques of stitching, knotting and melting using plastic waste. The installation challenges the perception of three dimensional space from an external point of view. Simultaneously, it generates an immersive experience when walking through the structure.
B.O.B. Beyond Ordinary Bricks Embracing the topic proposed by the 2018 Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) Forum, vernacular architecture is considered as a complex reality emerging from the interaction of many aspects essential to a specific society like climate, social structures, living patterns, local economies and skills, availability of resources, local beliefs, tastes, and symbology, among many others.
Instructors : Alicia Lazzaroni Antonio Bernacchi Assistants : Kamphol Kitwirat Tikumporn Panichakan
Paul Oliver, in his extensive encyclopedia, argues that, on top of material and climatic contingencies, the very core of vernacular architecture lies in its being done by people and for people. “Related to their environmental contexts and available resources, [dwellings] are customarily owned or community built, utilizing traditional technologies. All forms of vernacular architecture are built to meet specific needs, accommodating the values, economics and ways of life of the cultures that produce them.” In line with the exhibition guidelines requested by ASA and the reflections stated above, Beyond Ordinary Bricks (B.O.B.) proposed an open call to all INDA students to produce bricks made from INDA’s local resources, tastes, skills, and personal beliefs. Students were welcome to participate in the making of the pavilion, producing bricks made using accumulated materials from past projects like printed drawings, part of models, unused fragments, or material waste. The proposal was to build a simple wall and to insert content in it. The bricks were assembled using a “reversible” construction method, proposing alternative bonding techniques, and integrating and interlocking students’ work within the wall itself.
