INDA 2018-2019 by CUINDA

The International Program in Design and Architecture (INDA) was initiated by Professor Bundit Chulasai, Ph.D., and in August 2004, as the head of the Architecture Department, he appointed Preechaya Sittipunt Ph.D. to head a curriculum development committee, including Associate Professor Pinraj Khanjanusthith, Ph.D., Associate Professor Piyalada Thaveeprungsriporn, Ph.D., Chaiboon Sirithanawat, Assistant Professor Rachaporn Choochuey, Ph.D., and Assistant Professor Wonchai Mongkolpradit, Ph.D. Preechaya has served as the director of INDA since its launch in 2006, and Assistant Professor Pornprom Mannontaratana joined as deputy director in 2010. INDA has grown considerably from its first incoming class of forty-eight students to its current annual enrollment of eighty students. INDA offers a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Design that aims to produce critical and inquisitive graduates whose knowledge and skills transcend the typical definition of ‘architect’ while embracing broader fields of study within the design discipline. While the program primarily focuses on architecture, INDA graduates are designers who pursue careers in a wide range of areas including urban design, landscape design, product design, interior design, strategic design, communication, fashion, real estate, hospitality, integrated studies, business, branding, marketing, and management. As an international program that collaborates with universities and organizations around the world, INDA encourages students to engage local (Thailand), regional (Asia), and global issues, contexts, and values. INDA empowers students with the critical and conceptual thinking skills they need to question and challenge the world around them. INDA stimulates a dynamic, inspiring, and experimental learning environment outside conventional standards and prepares students for a rapidly changing future.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT The International Program in Design and Architecture (INDA) was established at the Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University in 2006 and guided under the direction of Dr. Preechaya Sittipunt as the first program director. For over a decade, INDA has thrived as one of the best international programs in design and architecture in Thailand. Currently, INDA consists of over 300 students and thirty international faculty members from thirteen countries around the world. Established under Thailand’s oldest university, we believe our prestigious tradition, culture, and heritage combined with our diverse international design approaches--ranging from the pragmatic to the experimental--have become our strongest assets to produce well-rounded graduates for the future. Many of the unique experiences at INDA are documented in this book, giving a broad overview of the design studios and other exciting courses offered throughout the semester. During the breaks, students are also encouraged to participate in various activities carefully designed to expose them to practical and collaborative experiences with our faculty, communities, and external program partners. Each year, INDA offers approximately twenty Option Studios, ten Design Experimentation Workshops, and ten Design-Build Projects and Design Construction Projects for Communities as well as studyabroad opportunities including educational trips, international workshops, and exchange programs. Most importantly, to ensure true diversity, not a single project in INDA’s history has been duplicated or offered twice. As the year 2020 approaches, not only will we continue to provide the best platform for students to learn and develop their knowledge, skills, and creativity, but INDA will go through a program transformation with new curriculum offerings, new project initiatives, and new exchange possibilities. We are proud to welcome three alumni instructors in 2019, and we are excited to host the 25th International Conference of the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA) in April 2020. We hope that these changes will enable our faculty members and students to become a crucial part of building INDA as a leading international design and architecture program in Asia.

DEX 2019 OBLIQUE FUTURES

The Design Experimentation Workshop (DEX19) 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. This year’s theme, ‘Oblique Futures,’ aims to acknowledge architecture’s historical and ever-evolving dislocation between disciplines, seeking to trace diagonals across multiple interdisciplinary timelines by questioning ‘what we do’ and ‘why we do it;’ looking simultaneously backward and forward under the three categories of techno-ecologies, critical objects, and computational disobedience. Referring conceptually to the ‘Oblique Strategies’ developed by Brian Eno and The Oblique Function by Architecture Principe, the workshop’s theme embraces approaches that leverage both thinking and performing through the oblique with respect to architecture and the near future, serving as ‘triggers for experiences’ while ‘engaging the body in a culture of imbalance.’ Techno-Ecologies: There are no clear lines that separate technology from ecology, nature, production, politics, and people—only hazy boundaries that grow fuzzier the closer one looks. Critical Objects: Inanimate but living, devoid of personality yet anthropomorphic, material and immaterial, free of meaning while simultaneously loaded with content—‘what’ can also be thought of as ‘who’ Computational Disobedience: Computers, machines, and robots permeate the world and all aspects of human, nonhuman, living, and non-living beings—they can be controlled and be given control. Let’s dance!

OBJECTIFY_UR_RSRCH How to bridge research and design thinking? How can different objects disrupt the creative process, and encourage unexpected solutions and synthesis? What objects can allow you to explore your design subject from as many different angles as possible?

Supanat Chaiyanopakul

Throughout the workshop, students are invited to create their own objects to facilitate their creative process. The object is considered a means to an end rather than an end in itself. Throughout the workshop students develop â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;critical objectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unique to the creative and research needs of an architect and urbanist. Students participate in a series of individual and collective exercises that guide their thinking and making process, during which they formulate a research question, develop an idea for an object that would assist them in the process of design and strategy making, create that object, and demonstrate how it answers the original research question.

Flat and Bent: Developable Surfaces as Structure The objective of the workshop is to explore the potential of developable surfaces as structure. By looking at textile patterning techniques, students are asked to reinterpret these patterns in materials that are stiffer than fabric. Elastic bending of wood and paper is used to give stiffness and increased structural capacity to thin materials. Through iterative modeling, each student group develops a tectonic strategy in paper which is then built in thin plywood at 1-to-1 scale. Through the exercise, students learn about the relationship of two-dimensional pattern to three-dimensional form, the link between material performance and capacity, and the digital simulation tools necessary to achieve their designs.

Technology sublime - Preventative medicine for a dystopian future Using a hands-on approach, this workshop offers an introduction to microcontrollers, sensors, kinetics, and robotic-activated systems to see how non-anthropomorphic objects can create compassionate responses in humans. Using a variety of sensors, we discuss and explore new forms of mapping data and consider ways of achieving biofeedback mechanisms. These experiments aim to activate and react to environmental influences for the purpose of collecting data for spaces that learn over time.

Students acquire a new understanding of the basics of technology that are hidden in all of the devices surrounding us every day. Instead of being pure consumers of technology, we stimulate an awareness of possibilities for how to take control and creatively appropriate technology. The workshop urges students to ponder the vulnerability of our future intelligent architectural offspring, bringing into the forefront the role of robotics and technology for future empathetic cohabitation.

Same Same but Different: Four Villages in Chiang Mai Just 7.5 kilometers from the center of the expanding city of Chiang Mai, farmers gather and direct the annual monsoon waters through an intricate pattern of weirs and canals to fill rice paddies, as their ancestors have for centuries. However, for almost ten kilometers, this rural system winds inside the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly constructed Outer Ring Road, trapping villages, temples, irrigation canals, and hundreds of rice paddies within land planned for urban expansion. Meanwhile, dozens of gated subdivisions and new commercial buildings are rising along the new ring road in land designated for agricultural preservation.

Groups of INDA students and Parsons students worked on one of four sites, each containing the same elements, but in different situations: a village with a Buddhist temple and monastery, an irrigation weir and canal network, an area of rice cultivation, and several sites meant to support social infrastructure. Students compared the anthropological descriptions and historical photographs of the village with documentation of contemporary structures that reflect the adaptations of a rural village to an urban economy. The workshop emphasized field work including interviews, hand drawing, rapid assessment, and prototyping ideas based on participatory action research.

Bangkok Super Object From the Elephant Building to the Robot Building to OMA’s pixelated tower, the architecture of Bangkok demonstrates a desire for architecture to play a larger role in the construction of a city. Bangkok Super Object aims to tap into this rich quality of Bangkok. The ambition of Bangkok Super Object is on the one hand to visit these charming structures of the city, while also scouring Bangkok for materials that will be useful in the construction of a large speculative architectural model that will be conceived as a new form of collective living for the 21st century.

Working within the theme of ‘Critical Objects,’ the material to generate this model will be searched, gathered, sourced, and altered through a number of trips in Bangkok that will also serve as site visits. The workshop will employ a methodology of ‘Making Architecture from Architecture.’ If architecture organizes the world around us, this method proposes to evaluate and appropriate this material toward new architectural purposes.

Anthropocene Ornaments Nature has always been a reference for architecture, both formally and ornamentally, but climate change and the age of the Anthropocene indicate a turn in the formerly friendly relationship between man and nature. Nature is no longer a virginal and kind space where we can extract metaphors in an uncritical way. Contemporaneous nature demands the attention of philosophers, ecologists, historians, and scientists as a threatening entity with a highly destructive power.

Mesiya Hiransiriswad Tanyaluck Kittithirapong and Panas Saengvanich

This workshop envisions Anthropocene landscapes and imagines how to incorporate them into contemporary architectural design. Each student group chooses a different situation that can be framed in the era of the Anthropocene. Massive plastic object storage areas, catenary structures from spider families, rock textures, or polluted underwater shell formations are some examples of the materials that we work with. Students examine their materialities, their geometries, their eco-political agencies, their different assembly possibilities, and their potential transformations. From this research, students build elements that speculate, in a critical and non-moralistic way, the different possibilities of these new scenarios from both ornamental and functional perspectives.

Heritage-Creative City Chiang Mai The old historical city of Chiang Mai is defined by a square of approximately 1.5 x 1.5 kilometers that is surrounded by walls and moats. The city is well-preserved despite increasing urban development, a growing population, and a rise in tourism. Due to its preservation of craft and the folk arts of the Lanna culture, the historical part of Chiang Mai has been selected by UNESCO as a Creative City, and it is also registered as a World Heritage site. The workshop questions the relationship between preserving the original fabric of the city and adapting to present conditions. Focusing on the northwest corner of the historical part of the city, the project proposes a new destination for ecotourism that consists of public, cultural, and educational facilities, guest houses, commercial buildings, restaurants, and more.

Design 1 offers an introduction to design methods and critical thinking. During their first semester at INDA, students are familiarized with fundamental topics such as geometric form, movement, bodily performance, operative systems, spatial definitions, human experience, and many others. Students learn to unfold arguments and raise questions through design and abstraction. The discourse alternates between the physical and the phenomenal, the rational and the hypothetical, encouraging radical experimentation and considered argumentation. The semester consists of four design projects, each with distinct design and learning objectives:

Gravity Rebecca van Beeck and Tijn van de Wijdeven

Aggregate by Pratana Klieopatinon and Sergi Serrat

Students are asked to challenge the relationship between objects, forces, and motion along a subset of formal operations. They develop a deep understanding into geometric form while systematically defining and optimizing structural and proportional characteristics in response to external, controlled conditions.

Students investigate rule-based systems through modularity and aggregation. The project encourages experimentation with methods of construction, materiality, joinery, and structure. Each project is tested in response to assigned contextual and environmental conditions.

This project introduces students to the human body and its proportions and movements in everyday routines. Through the study of human behaviors, as observed in a specific spatial context, students craft performative acts to understand, question, and redesign the relationship between body and environment.

The project offers a fundamental inquiry into space and materiality in which architecture is connected to the attributes of its inhabitants. Students build a material vocabulary that relates to a set of given characters and personalities. Then, tactile fragments are developed into a diorama that defines specific spatial conditions, emotions, and atmospheres.

The first part of the semester introduced the concepts of city, environment, and street-life through the schematic design of an imagined metropolis and one of its districts. Using a set of given texts, students became citizens of a fantasy and developed a systemic and narrated reality at various scales of intervention.

Visions 01 - City Students develop a possible (not necessarily probable) narrative idea of the city as a whole: where is it located, what is its shape, what is the main communication infrastructure, how are the buildings organized, what are their hidden potentials, etc.

The second semester is a journey through urban contexts. Students are asked to imagine and explore different urban situations in a set of incremental scales that have been organized around two main projects: Visions and Experiences.

Visions 02 - District Students inquire into a specific part of their city and develop a notion of how life unfolds through public spaces, architectonic environments, and human behaviors. Each district is required to provide a transition from the public to the private realm, from street to building, and from building to living unit.

Experiences The second project expands the notions of street space, built environment, and human behavior through a rigorous investigation, documentation, and (re) appropropriation of the parameters of a designated territory in Bangkok.

Experiences 01 - Street Students start with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dĂŠrive,â&#x20AC;? an urban drift, designed to develop an incisive and coherent critique of modern society and the built environment. They are challenged to build a narrative that confronts the ordinary with the unconventional, imposing everyday actions and interactions into the common realm of Bangkok.

Experiences 02 - Slice

Thongtor Nontavatit

Students are asked to choose a particular slice of their previous drift and expand it through a comprehensive written and visual narrative. The projects incorporate meticulous research about formal and informal urban elements while also classifying visible and invisible morphologies, stories, histories, materialities, personas, rituals, etc.

Design Tools and Skills One (DTS1) aims for students to develop their spatial understanding through technical and conceptual methods of representation and communication across a variety of media. In this course, we form integral connections between hand, eye, mind, and mouse in the study and practice of freehand drawings, constructed drawings, and physical models at varying scales. Students are encouraged to document and graphically communicate the process and product of their inquiries through conceptual representations and spatial arrangements. DTS1 and DTS 2 are tightly coupled with the first-year design studios to form a feedback loop that reinforces and contextualizes shared concepts and content.

Design Tools and Skills Two (DTS2) aims for students to develop their representation and communication skills through the use of digital and analog tools. The course is composed of several workshops that deal with different softwares and formats such as digital models, animations, videos, collages, and maps. The exercises incorporate architectonic elements and artistic references to encourage the development of studio projects and unique, personal graphic styles. Students learn new digital representation strategies, and they are equipped to create a variety of multimedia drawing types by overlaying different softwares to express concepts and processes.

This course develops studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; understanding of two major factors that affect the design of the built-environment--human factors, including the physiological, psychological, behavioral, and socio-cultural factors that affect human perception, and environmental factors like climate. Students explore a wide range of techniques including how to createa sense of place, a spirit, a mood, or an ambience through temperature, vision, and sound. The course also addresses vernacular architecture, building orientation, shading, ventilation, and passive cooling as important environmental design strategies.

EXPERIENCING ARCHITECTURE & INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOPS Every year, INDA students take trips abroad to experience architecture in other cultural and historical contexts as well as participate in workshops with universities outside of Thailand. The Experiencing Architecture and International Workshop courses allow the students to gain a greater understanding of the influence and meaning of architecture and the built environment around the world through tours of significant buildings, visits to the offices of leading design practitioners, explorations of local landscapes, and assignments related to the specific physical, social, and cultural conditions of the areas. This year our students visited Finland, Russia, China, California, Budapest, Vienna, and the United Kingdom.

This may explain why the North Sami language contains a wide variety of terms to describe things like snow and reindeer, as both are meaningful elements of the Sami culture. The Sami population maintains extraordinary symbiotic relationships with its companion species (the reindeer) and with the surrounding landscape; therefore, the specific terminology can help us understand certain environmental relationships.

This workshop travels to the remote biological station of Kilpisjärvi, Finland to create a ‘visual hyper-dictionary/ atlas’ of selected terms from the North Sami language, in order to reveal and communicate the subtleties of its depiction of the environment. Selected words from the Sami language, related to the reindeers’ routines, rituals, and intimate connections with non-human agents, were the subjects of rigorous analysis. Students learned to understand architecture not as a “frame” for humans to occupy but as a construct of multiple collectively-assembled transmaterial connections.

In May, INDA traveled to the high desert of California to hold a second iteration of the ‘community-in-residence’ festival. Titled ‘Fieldworks,’ the event took its thematic inspiration from several methods of scientific field research—the approaches, techniques, and processes used to collect raw data outside of a laboratory setting. Project and workshop leaders questioned the constructs and apparatuses through which we perceive a place. Questions were raised regarding the production of sites of knowledge, and how quantified data is transformed into a qualification of meaning and significance. Projects modulated, enhanced, and manipulated one’s perception of landscape through the crafting of new imaginative spaces. Two week-long projects were constructed, led by Office Kovacs + Kyle May, Architect, and MILLIØNS (Zeina Koreitem and John May). Each day, a new workshop took place which engaged students in subjects apart from their building projects, ranging from coding exercises and sound mapping, to performances and interactive installations. These workshops were led by Roundhouse, the2vvo, i/thee, Listening Instruments, Alex Coetzee, Rebecca van Beeck, Leah Wulfman, and Maxime Lefebvre. Prior to the festival, a series of tours around Los Angeles and the surrounding desert valley communities of Palm Springs and Joshua Tree were held, introducing students to LA and Desert Modernism buildings and landscapes.

MONUMENTS OF COLLECTIVISM Instructor Romea Muryn The international workshop theme investigates the changing role of public spaces in both historical and contemporary contexts. Students address the issue through two vectors of the development process: preservation and restructuring the values of Soviet public space. Collectivism defines not only the theoretical framework of the workshop but also the process of researching and designing activities/initiatives. Students, architects, artists, and urban planners collectively conduct research (site analysis, mapping, interviews, archiving, filming) and travel on the Trans-Siberian train from Irkutsk to Moscow, outlining the values of soviet planning and the parameters of ‘generosity.’ Later in the trip, we collaborated with the Nikola-Lenivets Classroom, situated in the largest art park in Europe. Led by Nikolay Polissky, Russia’s most prominent environmental artist and founder of the Nikola-Lenivets Art Park, participants reflected on their research and designed and built a series of structures to challenge our perception of public space. In parallel, the process, discussions, and speculations – conceptual and architectural – were filmed by Locument as part of a documentary movie, which was screened at the Archstoyanie Festival in July 2019.

FORGOTTEN JOINERY Instructor Sergi Serrat

Experiencing Architecture and International Workshops

This summer course was organised around three main activities: Students enrolled in a short traditional timber-frame workshop to learn the basics of nail-free Chinese wood joinery. This workshop was held by TACC, a company founded by passionate people dedicated to the discovery, study, and restoration of ancient Chinese timber construction.

With TACC sponsorship and with the collaboration of gerGA, an urban artist and architect based in Beijing, students engaged in a five-day artistic production to generate a child playground located at the Beijing City International School. Students also experienced the city of Beijing through a series of visits to the main architectural landmarks.

ITINERANT CITY Instructor Will Hulbert

The Experiencing Architecture trip to London asks students to challenge the dominant narratives surrounding migration and better interpret notions of nationality, nativity, and belonging. As part of this underlying narrative, students participated in a tour and a workshop at the Museum of Migration. We also visited many well known buildings from Heatherwick’s Coal Drop Yards and Foster and Partners’ Bloomberg HQ to Hawksmoor’s seminal Christchurch Spitalfield. Students were guided to understand the importance of architecture in structuring individuals’ understanding of who they are and where they belong. Does the process of settling in a new city necessarily lead to the establishment of a new home? How do migrants appropriate the architecture of their new homes to express their identity, their expectations, and their understanding of what architecture is or should be? If so, what architectural aspects do they introduce, and more importantly, why?

ORNAMENT AND CRIME? Instructor Payap Pakdeelao

In Ornament and Crime, Adolf Loos justified his disdain for “ornament” by claiming that it caused objects and buildings to become unfashionable sooner, and therefore obsolete. He considered the effort wasted in designing and creating superfluous ornament as nothing short of a “crime.”

Experiencing Architecture and International Workshops

This two-week field study of Vienna and Budapest requires students to examine the cities’ most prominent architecture with an investigative approach. Using the texts from Ornament and Crime as the basis of their research into buildings from various eras in conjunction with their ornament and decoration, students attempt to more clearly understand their stylistic lineages and identify the defining factors that influenced the evolution of architectural ornament in each period.

DESIGN III FOOD INDUSTRIES Instructors Hadin Charbel Patrick Donbeck Pratana Klieopatinon Déborah López Lobato (coordinator) Thomas Lozada Romea Muryn Payap Pakdeelao Sergi Serrat Rebecca van Beeck Danny Wills

The (f)act of food implies historical, social, cultural, political, as well as technical, material, and environmental aspects. Through the examination of a specific dish, the complexities inherent in multiscalar networks can be revealed, through which a specific set of devices can be designed to implement and engage with targeted actors while speculating on future outcomes. Understanding and documenting how food as a set of ingredients is produced, transported, transformed, served, and consumed as a meal will reveal the different actors and effects that are often not considered when examining the final meal. By revealing these processes, the forgotten or unseen realities from production to consumption will be made transparent--some of which may be expected or obvious, but more importantly, others will be uncovered for the first time. It is with this new and total awareness that a particular aspect within the production-to-consumption chain will be scrutinized and where each student will develop ‘trifective’ devices.

The implementation of these devices is expected to respond to different scales in order to consider the true potential for what their invention and intervention would imply in the short and long term.

Nicharee Sammapan ‘Sensory Synthesis +’ offers an escape from a city of boring and monotonous architecture. The project incorporates a range of devices that stimulate our senses while the collection of subconscious data is used to modify the qualities of the spaces including shape, color, smell, and sound.

During the semester, students unravel the complexities and banalities of subcultures associated with a specific identity. They design urban artifacts that respond to the ideas of hedonism and play as necessary components to everyday urban life. Students develop an understanding of how the group identities originated, what they value, how they choose to represent themselves, as well as how and where they exist. The first task is to examine how the subcultures operate among themselves and with outsiders through four types of characteristics--visual, behavioral, spatial, and ideological.

Through a multifaceted analysis, students create an augmenting device that fulfills and/or facilitates a specific task linked with their subcultural activities. Having understood the routines of the subculture and generated a device at the scale of the individual, students devise strategies for incorporating a larger population of the community through interventions that address ecology, politics, performance, technology, etc. Hedonism is encouraged and amplified through speculative architecture and people’s roles in engaging with the city.

HISTORY AND THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE Instructors Antonio Bernacchi Scott Drake Thomas Lozada (coordinator) Rebecca van Beeck

The second-year history and theory courses teach history from both a materialist and a genealogical perspective, defining the key factors that influence the evolution of architectural styles including geography, geology, climate, religion, economics, technology, socio-politics, and historical events, while also emphasizing the contextualization of significant projects. The courses use both chronological and thematic teaching methods. Lectures identify key example projects from different historical periods to understand their broader social, political, environmental, and cultural contexts, while group seminar discussions address themes that reinforce connections between the past and the present and allow students to consider architectural issues from multiple perspectives. The primary assignment requires students to conduct a critical analysis of a single case study building and contextualize it through a typological study and an analytical model that classifies and compares the case study to others of the same type. This approach seeks to establish historical precedent as a useful tool for contemporary design discourse.

DESIGN-BUILD

DEX 2019 Oblique Futures

In Design-Build projects, students work in a group under the guidance of an instructor on a smallscale 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.

IOT GARDEN Instructor Surapong Lertsithichai Advanced Info Service (AIS) established the AIS Design Centre (AIS D.C.) as a new venture to welcome startups and anyone interested in design and creative endeavors. At the entry of AIS D.C., an open area is available for the public to view services and information collected via Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected through the AIS network such as weather, humidity, traffic, etc. AIS sought to explore an experimental installation that could visualize or make tangible some of this digital data while providing some on-site interaction that would encourage physical engagement. This interactive experience would be a pilot project that could possibly be duplicated or expanded upon to include additional kinds of information or other locations in the near future. Students worked closely with the AIS IoT team and the project assistants to design and construct an interactive installation as a standalone object at the entry hall area of AIS D.C. The resulting design visualized environmental data including PM2.5, humidity, and noise from twelve districts within Bangkok through a network of digital flowers in a garden.

In this workshop, students explored the potential of Thai ceramic culture by challenging ideas of digital fabrication, modern lifestyle, and traditional ceramics. Each student developed a novel product and a critique of current ceramic wares. In order to improve the design of the ceramic ware, students used a variety of techniques from manual hand pinching to electric wheelers, laser cut pressing, CNC pressing, rapid prototype plaster molding, and 3D ceramic printing. Students also visited the Southeast Asian Ceramic Museum to better understand masterpieces of traditional Thai ceramics. The outcome of the workshop was on display and available for purchase at Open House on the sixth floor of Central Embassy with the support of Shane Suvikapakornkul, the director of the Serindia Gallery.

“INDA POPS-UP” involved the design and construction of an exhibition to represent INDA at the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism from September to November 2019. The Global Studio section of the biennale showcased research from forty schools around the world, including the work of thirdyear INDA students that was particularly relevant to the theme of ‘Emerging Forms of the Collective City.’ The design-build workshop consisted of second-year students installing the exhibition and communicating

the essence of INDA to an international audience. Students designed a series of large pop-up books that contained shortlisted third-year projects. The books employ a variety of folding and cutting techniques as well as material explorations. Every book has a special three-dimensional acrylic cover to communicate the identity of selected districts in Bangkok, and QR codes on each page link the printed documents to augmented reality components.

EPHEMERAL EVENTS Instructor Danny Wills

Nang Loeng - Join our Craft! This design-build project focused on the production of a single pop-up event held in the Nang Loeng district. Students became both designers and organizers, curating a public event and the infrastructure needed to support that event, such as urban furniture, market stalls, public amenities, and artist installations. During the development of the project, students conducted a series of community engagement meetings and mapping workshops, understanding the identity and values embedded in the neighborhood. Taking on the role of festival organizers, the students independently coordinated the design and promotion of media content, met with the district office and police to establish site permissions, and prepared the site for all of its potential infrastructural needs. Throughout the month-long process, students worked directly with community leaders, market vendors, arts and crafts specialists, and local cultural hubs to curate a series of interactive workshops, where the public was invited to learn about the identity of Nang Loeng through participatory events. These workshops included desserts made from banana leaves, sewing methods with Ban Narasilp, dancing workshops with Khon performers and ballroom instructors, Thai chess instructions with local champions, and other food-related crafts. During the opening, the public was invited to participate in a live â&#x20AC;&#x153;memory wallâ&#x20AC;? where responses to a series of questions on the past, present, and future of Nang Loeng were displayed for collective reflection.

Students investigated the architectural typology of the observatory, proposing new ways that we might engage with increasingly non-visual, abstracted, and mediated astro-data. Drawing on the rich history of observatoriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; social and political significance, students proposed alternatives to the 20th century planetarium. On a site at the Regional Observatory for the Public in Chachoengsao, students designed and built a temporary educational space that hosts public lectures/symposia and experiential astro-events.

705 REDUX Instructor Sergi Serrat

DESIGN - BUILD

Being the main studio space at INDA for many years, room 705 has been subject to intense wear and tear. After recent lighting, electrical, and acoustic maintenance and renovation, the rest of the space needed similar revitalization. This workshop was an opportunity for students to become clients, designers, and builders of a space that is very familiar to them. Furthermore, students will actually experience the consequences of their designs for the rest of their time at INDA. The main strategy was to achieve a flexible space that could accommodate a wide range of activities (studio sessions, paired reviews, design charrettes, lectures, dance sessions, etc.) without losing any of the existing pinup space or enclosure. Two different elements were designed and built--a fixed module that enhanced the division between sections and sixteen mobile elements on wheels that could be moved according to the necessities of the moment.

THE CHINATOWN EFFECT Instructors Sabrina Morreale Lorenzo Perri

Authentic Trans-Territorial Pavilion Students constructed a pavilion made with metallic frames and scaffolding, covered with fabric surfaces and crafted model units. The pavilion itself is a geometric, material, and spatial manifestation of shared stereotypical ‘Chinatownising’ forces: an inhabitable red and gold folie or a purposely architectural cliché. Once inside, a trans-territorial ‘Chinatownised’ world is represented through edited videos on multiple screens. Moments, public rituals, and private objects from Yaowarat are displayed; then, with the contribution of a network of friends living in various international Chinese communities, students accurately and playfully paired them with similar but geographically displaced settings. This series of crafted mutual copies highlighted invisible cultural clashes and subtle aesthetic overlaps. Welcome to the realm of authentic replicas.

There are many reasons why alien-designed, mass-produced, and prepackaged housing fails. Conventional functionalist houses are elements of our global system that incorrectly consider a universal standard to be suitable for everyone. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective imaginaries have become less diverse and less aspirational, while many architects still rely on a very limited set of references, values, and objectives.

Sitanan Teeracharoenchai

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 much more than the site they occupy, the materials with which they are made, and the know-how of their construction. A dwelling is the stage at which our lives are enacted and the 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. These aspects are clearly present in the process of construction, in the organization of space, in the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representation and performance, and in the subtleties of technical details. Acquiring a deeper knowledge of the vernacular is key to the creation of appropriate living conditions as cultures around the world strive to meet increasing housing demands in the future. Students are required to reinterpret and â&#x20AC;&#x153;translateâ&#x20AC;? these typologies to our contemporary condition, updating technical and performative aspects, understanding specific environmental wisdom, embracing popular aesthetics, proposing contemporary performances and social living patterns; ultimately, learning from the diversity of rich and complex built (and cultural) repertoires.

Kanchaporn Kieatkhajornrit Academic Excellence Award This project examines the living conditions in Egypt’s ‘garbage city,’ where trash is collected, sorted, and recycled from the neighboring city of Cairo. Because the city’s economy and the residents’ livelihoods depend on the trash, it cannot simply be removed. The proposal aims to slow down the rate of obsolescence, extend the life of a wide range of household objects, and transform waste into useful architectural components.

Supanat Chaiyanopakul Looking ahead to the year 2078, this project proposes a speculative scenario in which one of the world’s richest, oldest ecosystems is on the verge of collapsing due to extensive palm oil production and deforestation in Borneo.

During the semester, students approached fragile or vulnerable urban communities in Bangkok that are being affected by â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow-violentâ&#x20AC;? phenomena like gentrification, real estate pressure, progressive homogenization, and diminishing visual identities. They closely engaged those communities or local organizations, understanding the complexity of their existing social, economic, morphological, and natural structures, and proposed collective architectural interventions with patrimonial value that were able to bring people together at specific moments or in everyday situations.

Kittimont Kookasemkij

This new kind of temporal architecture required students to define their own positions between growth and shrinkage, preservation and demolition, reuse and disposal, adaptation and change, while simultaneously caring for the fragile states of their respective communities and imagining alternative future trajectories. Following the critical agenda from the first semester, students challenged the modern approach that too often defines architectural interventions as isolated instances and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as places that can be built anew and that only communicate with the surrounding city at their boundaries. This studio promotes architecture that is only a part of a world that already exists, that is capable of adding value and strengthening fragile ecosystems. The uses that are already established, the social structures that are already in place, the architecture that is already built, the natural components that can already be found, and the visual and cultural elements that are already embedded, have formed the starting points of our journey, supporting the integration of novelty and innovation.

This course, encompassing two semesters, teaches students about five fundamental building systems: sanitary and plumbing, lighting and electrical, lightning protection, mechanical and transportation, and fire safety. In the first semester, students visit a variety of sites around Bangkok to observe and document selected construction details related to structural or environmental performance, materials, connections, installation, maintenance, and safety.

In the second semester, students complete a building services project that 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, and lighting. In this way, they learn about the impact of building services on overall architectural form and function.

ARCHITECTURE COMMUNITY AND ECOLOGY Instructor Chon Supawongse

Architecture, Community, and Ecology aims to escalate a level of critical thinking and broaden individual perception beyond physical structures. We acknowledge a dissatisfaction with the former design disciplines that oversimplify the complexities of the biophysical environment. The class consists of lectures, group presentations, and workshops focusing on community geography, socioeconomic foundations, ecosystems, urbanization, and research-based practices. Shifting scales between architecture, community, urbanism, and ecology allows students to build a collective body of knowledge and restructure their working processes. Design becomes a performative medium rather than a visual component.

Chanon Viroonchan

In “Terra Fluxus,” James Corner states that “the projection of new possibilities for future urbanism must derive less from an understanding of form and more from understanding of process--how things work in space and time” (Corner, 2006). The fragility of the planet, its resources, and its processes is an opportunity for speculative design innovations. Addressing changing circumstances, architecture and landscape architecture have adapted and evolved from mere spatial arrangements to encompass a wide range of disciplines. This shift allows the professions to offer “no preconceived idea of the final solution but instead a structure which is capable of responding to changing social needs and biological requirements” (Ruff, 2002).

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR COMMUNITIES DEX 2019 Oblique Futures

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 hands-on 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).

PYLONESQUE Instructors Hadin Charbel Déborah López Lobato

‘Pylonesque’ is a water-harvesting mixed-use structure designed for an elementary and middle school located in a remote town in the Uthai Thani province. The geometry and function is borrowed from the ubiquitous water towers and pylons seen across the natural and man-made landscapes in the area. By inverting the common

pitched-roof and using a modular structural strategy, the pylonesque structures guide water into the center of the space where it is diverted and stored in a tank for later use. By activating repurposed exercise equipment, human-powered kinetic energy helps to pump water, an act that is embedded with practical and cultural applications.

Students developed the overall design and details with the school community, making a series of presentations to the students and teachers. They also managed the costs of the project by coordinating with contractors and suppliers, helped raise additional funds, scheduled the construction process, and aided in building the space under the guidance of a contractor and instructors.

INDIGENOUS RANGERS Instructor Chon Supawongse

This program aims to design and build a new eco-tourism facility for an indigenous ranger community at the upper Nakhon Si Thammarat Mountain Range (NSTR). Over the past few years, INDA has developed intimate relationships with multiple national parks and local communities in the area. Within the protected tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) lies a distinctive ecosystem known for its biological diversity, endemic species, and endangered wildlife. Under exceptionally humid marine and equatorial conditions, Sanyen (Tai Rom Yen National Park) is one of the largest TMCFs in Thailand. Tai Rom Yen National Park and Khao Luang National Park are working with local communities on an interdisciplinary and participatory approach to develop ecotourism, educate people about conservation, and implement public awareness programs. Trail networks, exhibition spaces, camping facilities, and an information center must be re-conceptualized under new design frameworks.

NANG LOENG COMMUNITY PLAZA Instructors Gian Maria Socci Rebecca van Beeck

Design and Construction Projects for Communities

An underused park in Nang Loeng, Bangkok has been upgraded and energized with added greenery and new park furniture. The connection to the community was first established through the third-year urban design course in which students conducted site research to develop an understanding of Nang Loeng’s current and future needs. This program took their work a step further, initiating a design project for a selected site in the area that was identified by the students as having the potential to improve.

The design process included a series of charrettes and a number of participatory workshops with the community. The overall scheme focused on breaking up the site into smaller pockets or urban ‘rooms.’ Each zone housed one new furniture component: a large L-shaped doublesided bench, a play ‘pyramid’ with a swing and climbing surfaces, a notification board, or a two-tiered stand/ stage. All new equipment was designed and constructed using scrap materials donated by Ford Thailand. The work was built over the course of four weeks with the help of Ford’s Plant Engineers.

123

The project included both the design of physical improvements--added greenery, seating, and play spaces--and the curation of a launch event. The event “Nang Loeng: Join Our Craft” was organized with a complementary second-year design-build program.

It welcomed local vendors and artisans into the space to share their techniques and cooking skills, while activating the new and improved park environment that was designed and built by third-year students.

Architecture’s “Political Compass:” A Taxonomy of Emerging Architecture by Alejandro Zaera-Polo and Guillermo Fernandez Abascal, 2016

Charles Jencks - Evolutionary Tree of 20th Century Architecture

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IV+V DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR COMMUNITIES

In the option studios at INDA, project briefs are never repeated. The variety within the faculty body, together with the broad spectrum of research fields they pursue, naturally leads to a continuous update and exchange of ideas. While admittedly crucial in a studio environment, this approach is not just meant to constantly stimulate discourse, but also to define collective global and local areas of concern. But what is the role of a relatively small design school in southeast Asia, far from the Western-centric circles of design and architecture pedagogy? And what is the role of a school in defining boundaries for the personal trajectories of students in times of often rather passive engagement with learning? In a period when the ecological crisis and the tremendous rise of global inequality seem to provide very clear common grounds for shared agendas, is now the moment to define more clear trajectories to avoid the risk of ending up with something more or less ‘austerity chic?’

129

As a notable precedent, throughout his important career as an architecture critic, Charles Jencks made multiple heroic attempts to reconstruct the so-called evolutionary diagram of architecture of the last century, which is explicitly referenced by Zaera-Polo. Nonetheless, Jencks’ insightful research still considers dynamics that are related to an architectural paradigm that has now been most likely overcome, and the very idea that there is a trajectory of evolution throughout the generations of architects has been repeatedly put into question by postmodern critique.

The intention of reading relationships between the different types of contemporary design practices has not vanished. Following ZaeraPolo’s article, through an iterative and collective process conducted with Guillermo Fernandez Abascal, a number of shortlisted ‘upcoming’ studios have been positioned in a map, popularized in the media as the “political compass of emerging architecture.“ After the complete fragmentation of the postmodern era (if that can be considered over), could defining areas of interest and relative relationships be considered an actual agenda in positive terms?

R.E.-F.I. Instructor Antonio Bernacchi

The studio concentrates on ‘critical design’ through different techniques of ‘speculative fiction.’ Borrowing definitions from Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby, this kind of design uses the technical tools of the discipline to develop and communicate critical reflections, rather than to generate actual ‘products.’ Students conceived projects relating to the world of real estate (R.E.) and its mechanisms, regulations, and promotion methods. The sector is also intimately related to the lives and lifestyles of the buildings’ inhabitants in multiple ways, including

(pragmatic) dimensions, connectivity, proximity, and visibility, which are all crucial in dwellings and are deeply linked to construction parameters, costs, regulations, and ‘marketability.’ On the opposite side, the construction of tailored imaginaries for the advertisement and promotion of real estate ‘products’ shapes and is shaped by collective aspirations. Contemporary megacities in China are the context of experimentation because of their superfast transformation, highly manufactured image, and peculiar socio-political situation.

can boast such an extraordinary variety of trees in an area of comparable size. At least 2,250 tree species are native to the region, representing 75% of the total tree diversity of Thailand. Connecting seven national parks and four wildlife sanctuaries, NSTR is “a living museum of diversity,” a place to reconnect with nature, and a unifying force bringing people together. With its unique climate, altitude, geology, and topography, the NSTR corridor becomes an experimental platform for design over an interconnected system of pristine rainforests and headwaters, which has the potential to be the largest rainforest conservation initiative in the history of Thailand.

“The history of man has been recorded in the tomes of libraries since the invention of letters, but a much longer period anterior to that is recorded on the leaves of the book of rocks” (John Wesley Powell). ‘The Corridor’ aims to explore the design possibilities of the southern intact rainforest of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Range (NSTR), where wilderness, wildlife, native plants, and natural processes continue to function as an interconnected web of life. As a part of the Tenasserim Range, NSTR is “a corridor of biological wealth” with its geographical position at the boundary between two major centers of plant diversity--the Himalayan and Malaysian floristic regions.

THE LONG JOURNEY Instructor Tijn van de Wijdeven

“When traveling by train, I have always been amused by the gap between the landscape visible from the carriage windows and the photographs placed inside the train compartments depicting the usual sites - the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Romanesque cathedrals, Renaissance cities, mountains, lakes, and pines along the coastline. The journey is thus twofold: there is one to be seen from the window and another to be seen inside the train compartment” (Luigi Ghirri, Italia Ailati). The studio has employed journeys as projects, identified by the ‘traveller’, the ‘space for travelling’, and the ‘territory’. This semester, students ventured outside of Bangkok to

the (relative) unknown, investigating the relationship between city and region by means of a long journey by train. The long journey is not measured in kilometers but in hours. Throughout the semester, students challenged the vastness of time with intimate methods of documentation and abstraction. Projects are manifests along a specific theme, correlating the traveller, train, and territory, while revealing ‘alternative identities’ to landscapes and interiority. All projects depart from Bangkok, based on the Thai railway network. The studio aims to produce projects as critiques, focusing on notions of ordinariness and everyday life.

LANDSCAPES FOR ORNAMENT Instructor Lorenzo Perri

YEAR 4

Bangkokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets are heterogeneous landfills of fragmented props lined with ubiquitous stalls, makeshift kitchens, and a large variety of temporary structures selling different food, clothes, and electronic gadgets. They feed the soul of hungry local observers and the pockets of compulsive international collectors. Markets--traditional, illegal, nocturnal, or floating--always present a complex and allegorical urban condition. In such a context, informality can be seen as an effective response to preconceived societal structures, as an instrument to re-organize politically and formally imposed conditions. Within the increasingly cosmopolitan yet hierarchical Thai society, informality often breaks the boundaries created by cultural prejudice, establishing common ground and enabling symbolic communication. The shared nature of informality, together with its visual richness, produces a perfect basis for a contemporary notion of ornament. The studio allows for aesthetic deviations and further stylistic elaborations, always requiring a high architectural resolution. The relationships between informality and complexity are questioned through designed ornaments--to challenge not only iconographic sources for architecture, but also the conventional meanings of elegance and vernacularity.

BOTANICAL FUTURES Instructor Gian Maria Socci

Chit Su Yi Win

Vegetative life is the foundation of life on Earth. Plants constitute the vast majority of the planet’s biomass: they are at the very bottom of every food chain and therefore support all other living beings. Through photosynthesis, plants transform astronomical phenomena into biological fuel. They are our direct connection to the source of energy that governs our planet: the sun. Physics, chemistry, the infinitely large, and the infinitely small constantly flow into each other in every single plant. Plants allow us to breathe: the terrestrial atmosphere that makes life possible as we know it is nothing but a byproduct of vegetative metabolism. We breathe plants’ waste. Outside of academia, the understanding of plants, their behaviours, and their importance in everyday life, is limited. This studio revives interest in the planet’s largest

population of organisms and explores how they affect the spatial organization of human activities. In the era of the Anthropocene, human domination of the planet’s surface calls for a reassessment of our relationship to vegetation. While modern agriculture exploits nature’s diversity for commercial interests, imposing human-centric farming techniques and creating a monocultural environment, it seems urgent to redefine a new relationship between humans and plants. What futures can we imagine for agriculture? What if we were able to perceive plants as sensitive beings and use their own skills to regulate agricultural production sustainably? Students were required to take a critical position on ‘botanical futures,’ developing proposals that encourage the preservation of biodiversity, the sustainable management of resources, and an ethical perspective on related social and economic issues.

This process envisioned new relationships between non-human agents (plants and animals), techniques, cultural repertoires, and complex environmental issues. Chthulucene is a term created by the feminist theorist Donna Haraway. She avoids referring to our current epoch as the Anthropocene, preferring to conceptualize this era as one in which the human and nonhuman are inextricably linked in tentacular practices. The Chthulucene, Haraway explains, requires sympoiesis, or ‘making-with,’ rather than autopoiesis, or ‘self-making.’

YEAR 4

During this semester, students have dedicated themselves to designing recipes and food-related spaces that embody complex relationships between different factors, at different scales, and in different categories. Students have studied productive landscapes affected by man-made environmental events or alterations (like polluted water, erosion, drought, trash, etc) together with their cultural counterparts, in the form of regional recipes as well as related rituals or routines. They have subsequently twisted those recipes, introducing new ingredients that have affected their anthropogenic landscapes and designed new spaces to

MONUMENTAL WASTELANDS Instructor Déborah López Lobato

What will our society be remembered for? ‘Monumental Wastelands’ is a retrospective project that examines the effects of byproducts beyond ecology, focusing instead on their capacity and inevitability to become monuments for future generations. If each major civilization can be remembered by the artifacts they have left behind, then what will be the equivalent(s) for today’s civilization? The effects of a highly urbanized and consumer-based society through what is now known as the Anthropocene have already radically reshaped nature, creating new forms of territory to be examined. The studio embraces spaces

where the living conditions--due to toxicity levels, pollution, and/or waste--provoke the redefinition of the way in which humans and non-humans interact. Working on the monumentality of a specific wasteland, students assume the roles of architect and strategist, gaining a deep understanding of their specific consumerist society. They then design a set of contextualized tools that allows them to explore and further understand the specificities of their sites. Through tooling, mapping, diagramming, and tracing, we will work on the cartographies of the selected wasteland at the local and global levels.

Architecture is fundamentally formed by user behavior. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavioral changes in the past decade have been so rapid that we can no longer keep up with all the new terms that describe health symptoms related to the impact of new digital technologies on the human body. Physical architecture is following a similar trajectory. We have witnessed the fall of physical retail businesses such as bookstores, video rental shops, banks, and healthcare facilities due to new digital behaviors. Architecture must cope with this paradigm shift in order to remain relevant. There is no question that if our behavior changes i.e., how we work, play, learn, rest, eat, read, contemplate, conference, etc., then our activities in space are no longer constrained by past tectonics and classical typologies of architecture. On the other hand, it is also possible to explore how digital technologies can alter user behavior in a space or how information can be communicated through user interactions or through digital and physical interplay.

ENRICHMENT: ARCHITECTURE IN THE AGE OF COMMODITY FETISHISM Instructor Antonio Bernacchi

This studio embraces the framework of the ‘economy of enrichment,’ developed by French sociologists Luc Boltanski and Arnaud Esquerre, where the value of products is determined by processes, identities, and trends. These factors are deeply connected with the histories and narratives of the products themselves, which have become crucial aspects and actual ‘materials’ in the design process. In this sense, the studio engages with what is already existing, transforming a given reality and expanding its scope beyond the purely economic realm. Through a detailed visual analysis of transformed spaces, the studio proposes alternative approaches within the framework of the heterogeneous built environment of Bangkok. The projects are mostly located in the redeveloping area around Chinatown that is currently becoming the city’s creative district and confronting a clear process of gentrification.

This studio explores the strategic conservation of “Sanyen,” the tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) of Tai Rom Yen and Khao Nun National Park, which is a home for biological diversity, endemic species, and endangered wildlife. Located in the exceptionally humid marine and equatorial conditions of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Range (NSTR), Sanyen is one of the largest TMCFs in Thailand. Due to climate change, TMCFs are high on the list of the world’s most threatened ecosystems. With its unique climate, altitude, geology, and topography, Sanyen becomes an experimental platform for design through an interconnected system of pristine cloud forest and headwaters. The National Park Act of 1961 states that “a national park is to be preserved in its natural state for the public’s education and enjoyment.” As the finest cloud forests in Thailand, what is the future of Sanyen? What are its latent potentials? How can this sensitive ecosystem confront global climate change? How can local communities participate?

Shompoonuth Kumpakdee

In his essay â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Away from Home,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mark Cousins portrays his own relational and emotional process of estrangement after leaving his elderly home. The text is structured in time, following his days, weeks, and months at a boarding school in England. Mark reveals experiences which alternate between institutional discipline and his sense of being (alone). His departure from Victoria train station in London is continuously positioned as a nostalgic point of reference. The text portrays an experience in which past, present, and a probable future coexist, the journey away from home as a nonlinear sequence of events. The studio proposed projects on journeys and radically inverted the continuum of space and experience through the construct of time. Referencing the writing of Mark Cousins, we took inspiration from notions of estrangement and focused on the social and physical structures of collective engagement. We promoted research and design through an active and experiential reading of urbanity in spaces of intense human (inter)action. At thresholds between departure and arrival, the vacuum between here and there, we investigated and questioned the realities of common spaces through constructed situations and simulations in and around spaces for public transportation.

ANTHROPOMORPHIC PARAD(E)-ISM Instructor Lorenzo Perri

This attitude is always expressed through a set of designed codes and symbols, constructed idols and beliefs, requiring appropriately evocative spatial frameworks. Anthropomorphic instances are crucial for the crafting of timeless architectural languages at the intersection of figurativism and abstraction, geometry and materiality. The human body is taken as an allegorical system of measurements, both as a generative tool and a testing ground for spatial production.

YEAR 4

The studio investigates designated folkloric festive moments, focusing on the design of a related celebratory apparatus--a congregational building, an urban intervention, or a behavioral or infrastructural system--whose agenda is essentially the representation and the performance of a specific collective identity. The analysis of cultural, social, political, and religious contexts frames the identitarian traits of the ever present human necessity to celebrate and be celebrated.

THE INSTANT SUBLIME AND SUBLIMINAL FILTERS Instructor Gian Maria Socci

Panyanus Jansomwong

This landscape design studio originates from the artistic forms of Romanticism and asks students to critically speculate on the role of experience in the contemporary context of tourism in the high mountains. As low-cost flights open new routes, mountainous regions that were once unknown by most become hotspots for new forms of tourism that respond to our thirst for wilderness. While helping populate our Instagram feeds, adventure tourism is dramatically reshaping immaculate areas with its ubiquitous infrastructure, eroding century-old traditions and shifting value hierarchies. Given the ominous scale of environmental, political, and economic pressures, landscape design in the future will likely need to be almost unnoticeable. It might have to be deployed through actions at a distance or through small devices that project their spatial effects on the territory: more than a subject of design, landscape becomes a tool of resonance. This studio is a round-trip between images and landscapes. We study the mechanics of perception and how environmental factors affect it. Students analyze the reality of the area of study, in search for intersections between local systems, future transformations, and the hypothetical effects of their designs.

URBAN ARKS Instructor Alicia Lazzaroni

YEAR 4

During this semester, students question anthropocentrism and design architectural devices that empower new synergies among different species and that promote biodiversity. How could architecture innovate to embrace a more integrated and “democratic” ecological paradigm? This studio generates new architectures of coexistence and new symbiotic proposals that, with imagination and rigor, fantasy and pragmatism, explore this still vulnerable ecological paradigm and create novel experiences from promising inter-species relationships. The project begins with an investigation of human-non human synergies, a selection of an animal (or a group of animals), and an imagination of which group(s) of humans would be most directly “affected” by their animal counterparts. The projects start as small scale innovations and evolve into new urban typologies. By growing in scope, the proposals develop pragmatically, taking care of all the aspects typical of “human” architecture like structure, circulation, access, infrastructure, maintenance, and obsolescence.

Nichakarn Vichitpunt

‘The (Planetary) Beach’ is a retrospective project that examines Maya Bay, Thailand, which can be considered a “manufactured nature.” A byproduct of the Hollywood industry, it is presented as an ideal and picturesque locale that has become monumentalized, and now welcomes more than 1.5 million tourists annually from all over the world. The consequences of this influx have radically changed the living conditions of humans, non-humans, and the biotope. Using the concept of the “Planetary Garden” by Gilles Clement, the studio examines the relationship between tourism, locality, and environment, challenging the traditional understanding of “radical ecology,“ which posits that life on earth can exist without man, and engaging a “humanist ecology” of coexistence. The studio uses narrative, in the form of newspapers, social media, comics, etc. as a tool to present a fictional scenario that triggers new worlds. Referencing the speculative genre of “climate fiction,” students propose an Enviro-Monumental Infrastructure.

a new type of architectural facade take to extend a building’s life? How can new facades become an integral part of a new augmented architecture that offers interactivity and performance? These “Fantastic Facades” can be seen as separate entities from the internal spaces of a building, but at the same time, they could be integral components that connect users, spaces, and functions between inside and outside.

As part of an ongoing investigation into “Augmented Architecture,” the exploration of an architectural facade as a crucial element of a building is a challenging design experiment. Facades are multi-functional and are tightly connected to the identity and context of their urban fabric. While the lifespan of a typical building is around fifty years, many questions arise from how one can extend its use. What role can

This design studio takes place in the widening gap between representation and reality. Students probed physical, invisible, and digital landscapes in order to raise questions on accuracy, resolution, and legibility in regards to the production of site and context. In this studio, bodies and minds are augmented through tools, devices, and computing programs that aim to reveal new truths about a particular place and reconsider current methods of analysis and simulation. This investigative design project positions architecture as a medium through which data can be collected, re-imagined, and distributed into spatial

effects, rather than mere representations. The resulting designs take the form of narrative stories, speculations, and fictional tales, as students create imaginative atmospheres, spatial cross-breeds, and reconstructed realities. Students create a fully immersive space and record their performances through 360-degree virtual reality animations and narrative videos. Each virtual performance tells a story on a specific layer of environmental consciousnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;light, sound, humidity, pollution, wind, temperature, and spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in order to present new perspectives on our interactions with place.

MY FAMILY Instructor Will Hulbert

YEAR 4

Thai family systems have been deeply influenced by rituals of Confucianism and the principle of filial piety or patriarchal control over family matters including marriage and co-residence. In Thailand, decreasing birth rates, longer lifespans, rural to urban migration, greater participation of women in the workforce, and changing priorities among the young are diversifying household typologies. Despite these factors, households with three or more generations are increasing. The traditional paradigm built on filial piety is shifting from parental needs to mutual needs in more cooperative living arrangements. Students reviewed different forms of multigenerational households and collective living arrangements and imagined collective living ideas that recognize new forms of cooperative households. After referencing earlier co-living proposals and reading The Family written by Ba Jin in 1933, students selected a site in Bangkok and developed proposals for an adaptive model for collective living that encompasses multiple generations and diverse compositions of households. The projects establish a social infrastructure of collaboration and reciprocal care, foster engagement and neighborliness, and promote a vibrant urbanity around the multifarious lives of different generations and households.

With new schools and 21st-century classrooms integrating social media and emerging technologies, this studio critically examines the potential and the importance of educational space. Can architecture be the catalyst that initiates/activates childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning behavior and experiences? The principles of educational space are thoroughly analyzed and discussed as part of studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; design proposals for the Warraphat School in Hat Yai. The brief is based on a real project, an actual site, and practical requirements provided by the school during a client meeting. Students gain hands-on experience meeting, engaging, and getting feedback from clients, users, architects, engineers, consultants, manufacturers/suppliers, and even an expert in child development and education.

‘Psychoscopic’ Boundaries explores the area between an individual’s mental space and physical space under the lens of a specific psychological condition and using the ‘self’ as the subject for research and design. The studio opens channels between mind, body, objects, representation techniques, and narratives to manipulate particular conditions. Students examine how perceivable physical and material properties create specific effects in subjects who experience them, while also exploring how deep-seated sentiments, memories, or sensations can be materialized into spatial constructs. Students are challenged to develop a distinct material and formal language for a psychoactive interface. Experimenting with affect, syntax, semiotics, and sensual properties, a vocabulary of discrete components and building blocks is generated and somatized into a spatial output. Through the creation of new and/or unfamiliar architectural and written languages, the architectural provocations provide alternate realities situated between what is and what could be; where new thoughts, perceptions, and experiences can be derived.

The Pink Poodle The Pink Poodle unearths and projects the architecture of mid-century leisure modernism. It presents new ways of tropical living between glitz and glamour, greatness and greed. It wants to resurface the lasting spirit and values of 1950s and 60s design, most importantly, its atmospheric qualities of openness, transparency, details, and construction. The Pink Poodle merges brutal structuralism with tropicalâ&#x20AC;&#x2039;ity and hospitality. The studio documents a design strategy for a hotel destination in Cambodia through model-making, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and visual communication, where new architecture emerges at the intersection between tourism, real estate, and new construction techniques in the tropics.

The studio examined the Paris 2024 Olympic scheme to identify neighborhoods that have the potential to strategically evolve, rethink their urbanity, and define the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy. Students investigated the existing conditions of the site and its relation to the city, documenting multiple layers of information. By analyzing both tangible and intangible conditions, each student developed his/her own brief to target specific design challenges around the idea of re-introducing old infrastructure into changing urban areas. Design proposals were multi-scalar, and they related to larger narratives of the aesthetic, programmatic, and socioeconomic capacities of the city. Students were invited to explore their own aesthetic style as an outcome of the process, and the ongoing dialogue between two- and three-dimensional representation revealed unpredictable qualities that inspired their design narratives.

In this program, students designed a waterside park with integrated recreation facilities. The projects focused on social and environmental sustainability as well as urban connectivity and green design. Students analyzed the waterfront site as part of a well-connected urban network and adopted passive design strategies for heating, cooling, and ventilation to minimize energy consumption in their proposals. Key design considerations included building orientation, enclosure, materiality, green roofs, water recycling, and modular construction systems.

An Economy of Means Residential Transformation in Munich Exchange Programs

To work with an economy of means, to transform what exists with deft hands, to make new things working with what already exists, to allow what exists to grow and transform into something else feels like an appropriate strategy to counter the twenty-first century tendency to live beyond our means, in denial of environmental reality. It requires us to go beyond the limits of Modernism and to work with a more inclusive approach to form and language, to create new interpretations which are contemporary, relevant, and comfortable. The project transforms the existing and unfinished structures of the Olympia Einkaufszentrum (OEZ) in Munich to create revitalized forms of living and working which contribute toward an optimistic urban collective. The wasted space of parking structure roofs can be remodeled or extended and can offer new housing possibilities. Can a sustainable and dignified urban life emerge from the ruin and the fragment?

Urban Hybrid: The Social Condenser as a Tool for the Regeneration of Traditional Markets Traditional markets are not only productive economic infrastructures, but also centers of cultural exchange and condensers of social relationships capable of empowering communities. The urban renewal of the Yakryeong Herbal Medicine Market in Dongdaemun not only involves an upgrade of its physical infrastructure, but also a rethinking of the activities and events it hosts in order to address the regeneration of decaying communities. The ‘social condenser’ is a spatial concept based on the belief that architecture can influence social behavior. For example, shared circulation nodes can create collision zones of varied constituencies, producing unexpected interactions among different users. The studio proposes a hybrid building capable of triggering an urban regeneration of the Yakryeong market. Students seek to create a new paradigm of tourist facility that engages visitors through temporary accommodation and a shared public facility.

Sapanya Patrathiranond A hybrid building that accommodates a traditional herbal market, pop up events, and a sleeping retreat for insomniacs, the architecture performs as a kind of living medicine or therapy for its occupants.

EVOLO SKYSCRAPER COMPETITION The Evolo Skyscraper competition is an annual award that invites architects, students, engineers, designers, and artists from around the globe to contribute proposals for what a skyscraper can be. It recognizes visionary ideas that challenge the way we understand vertical architecture and its relationship with the natural and built environments through the novel use of technology, materials, programs, aesthetics, and spatial organizations.

All first and second-year INDA students participated in the competition and several teams were nominated to submit official entries. These group projects explored ideas of transnational barriers, air pollution, localized urban identity, food production, and resource conservation.

Team 1 - ‘La Muralla’ Buris Chanchaikittikorn Korrawich Koomtako Chanakarn Pongteekayu Tida Rama Sirapat Sapthaweeteerakul Despite United States President Donald Trump’s nativist immigration policies, the U.S.-Mexico border has seen a surge of immigrants that has resulted in extensive processing delays. ‘La Muralla’ proposes a horizontal skyscraper that offers adequate facilities for refugees and addresses the concerns of residents on both sides of the border.

Team 2 - ‘Breathable City’ Wichayes Maneepakhathorn Natalie Pirarak Kamolthip Polsamak Raphadson Saraputtised ‘Breathable City’ seeks to address Bangkok’s shortage of public green space and abundance of air pollution (particularly PM 2.5) through the creation of a vertical park and other community facilities.
