Director’s statement

Academic year 2020 has been quite a challenging year for INDA and for the rest of the world. Since the beginning of the second semester, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Thailand as the second country in the world after China, many universities in Thailand--including Chulalongkorn University--were affected by a swift national lock down policy. This prevented students, faculty, and staff from leaving their homes and required the adoption of widespread online learning and remote working protocols. INDA had to quickly implement social distancing measures by conducting all academic activities through virtual platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams and by minimizing in-person studio sessions to two days per week. Studio courses were taught online and were forced to revise schedules, methodologies, and the scope of deliverables to conform to these new constraints. Summer designbuild and construction projects had to be scaled down and physically located within central Bangkok to limit the risk of infection. Most importantly, the end-of-year show or ‘INDA Parade’ had to be transformed from a physical to a virtual exhibition for the very first time and executed in a matter of weeks. Making preparations for the event, procuring virtual reality equipment, purchasing software licenses, setting submission standards, and building a 300,000 m2 virtual exhibition space was an enormous undertaking--one that would not have been possible without the combined efforts of our Parade coordinators, students, and faculty. For the collective yearbook 2020, INDA has decided to represent these challenges, experiences, and experiments in a hybrid platform by incorporating digital content beyond the pages of the physical book. The virtual integration of classes is showcased through a series of markers on selected pages that can be scanned to view their digital counterparts online. Course content from studios, lectures, and laboratories is reformatted with additional comments and analysis for a better understanding of the design intentions. We believe that this yearbook will best reflect upon the resilience and the experimental nature of the program that has helped INDA face new challenges throughout the years.

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. In 2020, challenged by social distancing restrictions, INDA decided to use a social virtual reality platform as a complementary tool for exchanging and representing ideas, under the motto â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep School Real.â&#x20AC;? All participants could join the review and exhibition worlds with their own avatars, interacting with others and exploring in great detail the many three dimensional models, large scale drawing boards, and presentations in a mixed media environment with live streams. The VR environment enabled the INDA community to regain the proximity that is so crucial to foster excitement and momentum. The event also featured four lectures from prominent international educators and practitioners.

INDA PARADE

INDA PARADE – Interview The following interview was originally published on June 30, 2020 under the title ‘Exploring the Realm of VR in Architectural Education’ on koozarch.com. Some of the text has been modified for clarity.

What questions does the project raise and which does it address?

INDA Parade 2020 raises the question of how design education can be resilient and can pursue new opportunities within the constraints of any situation. INDA Parade 2020 addresses the current state of emerging technology, providing a reliable source of accessibility through a social virtual reality platform. Used as a complementary tool for exchanging and representing ideas for students and instructors, it helps transition from physical to virtual engagement, beyond the conference call and the screen share. What were the greatest challenges when constructing the virtual exhibition?

Organization, collaboration, polygon counts, bandwidth, and time-zones. What opportunities does the virtual exhibition provide that the physical space does not?

The opportunity to create and experience all projects by using textured 3D models or by accommodating larger project scales that allow for the leveraging of spatial experience. Global access to a wider pool of guests and audiences. What informed the curatorial approach of the design?

The approach to curating the virtual exhibit was to continue our traditional end-of-year show which is a celebratory cross section through the school’s annual activities that reveals what is going on at INDA. The event involves design studio reviews, exhibitions, lectures, and parties, happening concurrently and in the same space. It is meant to enable the community of students, instructors, alumni, guests, and the public to discover and celebrate student work collectively as part of an ongoing conversation. We provide all students and studios a place to exhibit their work and hope that all feel empowered by what each can make of their space to represent the work they have done. Students are given a template file for their virtual installation which consists of both fixed and flexible components. They populate virtual boards with drawings and animations and place 3D models and scans within the boundaries of their area within the virtual space.

How and to what extent do you believe that our current situation will change the way we learn and teach?

We see the opportunity for INDA to deploy mixed pedagogical methods, from face-to-face and online instruction to a more integrated approach with greater international collaboration. We also see the opportunity to dissect learning content and emphasize it according to different approaches in ways that we may not have questioned before. For you, what are the biggest challenges we face in the virtualization of architectural education?

The limitations in physical or material experimentation, as well as collaboration in terms of making and building in the physical environment where students and instructors usually engage all of their senses in a more interactive social setting. How can these technologies empower both the student and the architect?

Virtual and mixed technologies help empower community awareness and effectively bring out the necessary skills of the student and the architect. They also help break down the boundaries between the school and the public. What is for you the architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important tool?

INDA PARADE – An Educational Project Tijn van de Wijdeven To talk about the ‘first’ in a series implies a starting point, but the abundant collective spirit of INDA is much harder to originate, at least in time. The idea for a school-wide exhibition resulted from a discussion between a group of year coordinators and Preechaya Sittipunt, the director of INDA at the time. This experimental project took off in January 2014, and the name ‘Parade’ became immediately apparent. It was a transient and festive event that elevated the conventional review from an administrative evaluation to a lively engagement. The conceptualization of the Parade in 2014 started with a simple cross-shaped configuration printed on a sheet of A3 paper. Over the various meetings that followed, it became evident that the event had a profound social importance. The Parade would allow reviews and exhibitions of student work, but it would also offer a stage for spectacle. Critical dialogues and observations were destined to become the heart of the Parade, manifesting the versatility of creative and critical pursuit at INDA.

Field of Crosses: An educational landscape

The ‘review’ is often cited as one of the pedagogical pillars of INDA, offering students moments of temporal fame and exposure. During the Parade, individual project presentations transcend their disparate topics and become part of a larger collective momentum. The Parade is the culmination of a year-long commitment by students and instructors that defines moments of critical exchange and discussion. By reducing the spatial arrangement of the Parade into a generic field of crosses, the dynamic social complexity of the Parade was paradoxically, and appropriately, centered on the spaces in between. Ambiguous limits and thresholds instilled a sense of negotiation and improvisation across the school community. The autonomy of the scheme itself was a deliberate attempt to allow for a hyper contextualization of people and projects. The final project reviews in 2014 were situated in seven rooms, each framed by four crosses. This enfilade of continuous transitions allowed studio groups to transform the empty rooms into spaces of social interaction.

Over the past six and a half years; the Parade has continuously evolved according to the idiosyncratic character of INDA. The annual invitation to design and coordinate this event very much exemplifies the radical ambition of the school to continuously reinvent itself. The mutual trust and cooperation between all factions of the school during the event reveals the beauty of a program where ideas are celebrated and where innovation takes precedence over traditional conventions. Each year, the Parade becomes a school within a school with students, faculty, and administrators conducting and performing in a true tour de force, fundamentally defining the nature of the event.

Seven rooms and eighteen corners: Ideogram of the Parade

Each Parade is intentionally located outside the university campus. This reinforces the idea that a school performs by virtue of its community, and not solely by its own spaces and facilities. Hosted at Makkasan Airport Rail Link Station for six consecutive years, the monumentality of the space provides a continuum of social encounters. The preparation and construction of review and exhibition spaces is a collective effort, and it has proven to be a vital component of the event at large.

A distinct stage in the evolution of the Parade took place in May 2020, with everyone confined to their homes due to the socialdistancing measures made necessary by the Covid-19 pandemic. Titled ‘Keep School Real,’ Michal Jurgielewicz and Patrick Donbeck proposed a radical shift of the Parade toward a virtual space. Creating a virtual presence for the school was an intense challenge that required the design of immersive landscapes as well as various protocols to welcome the school community into this new realm. The Parade in 2020 is further evidence of the trust and commitment of the school community to ongoing notions of ‘newness,’ perhaps one of the most profound qualities of INDA. 15

The following quotes have been collected from key contributors to the Parade in 2014 :

A Conversation with Students In past versions of the INDA yearbook, we have conducted conversations with instructors and alumni to discuss the challenges of teaching and the ways in which INDA has enabled recent graduates to thrive in the professional world. This year, we spoke with current student representatives from each year about their impressions of INDA, their thoughts on remote learning, and their learning experiences at different stages of the program.

Toon: I think I see INDA as more of a design school rather than just an architecture school. Every aspect of design is explored at INDA; therefore, there is a lot of freedom in terms of where our interests can take us. Another factor that contributes to the “lifestyle” of INDA is being in the context of Chulalongkorn University and the shared activities and social life that brings.

Participants:

Knink: I agree with Toon. I came to INDA thinking that I didn’t actually want it to be an architecture school. I chose INDA because of the mindset that I believed I would acquire rather than the skill set. To me, design and architecture education provides a very systematic way of thinking and planning things, which is unlike the other faculties and a special part of INDA.

Kanchaporn Kieatkhajornrit (Poompoom) Lalipat Sirirat (Earn)

What do you think are the key characteristics of INDA? Orm: I think INDA is an architectural program that is very different from what I thought it would be when I entered. Architecture is viewed in many different ways at INDA, and this has expanded my perspective on design and architecture. Diversity is one of INDA’s strongest points. As I have gone through the years at INDA, I can see this diversity very clearly in my classmates who have each found their own personal identity through their work at INDA. The distinct design approaches, the media representation techniques, the studio briefs, and the instructors are the strongest points. Peera: INDA has been really explorative for me.

We all have our own talents, weaknesses, and ways of approaching design, and INDA helps us to discover ourselves and our individual skills. We are not forced into a single “INDA” approach or aesthetic, which differentiates us from other schools. INDA provides a space for us to discover ourselves

Miriam: For me, I think INDA provides opportunity. I didn’t really know what INDA was before I started. The more I worked on projects, the more I had to explore myself. INDA has given me the opportunity to explore new ideas and experiment in ways I think I never could have otherwise. This is something I very much appreciate. Minnie: I agree that INDA has helped us explore other subjects beyond our initial interests. Personally, I came to INDA thinking that I wanted to be a pastry chef, and I wanted to explore how I could incorporate design into the interests or hobbies I already had. I like that INDA really encourages us to discover new interests. Miriam: When I first started at INDA, I realized that a lot of the people here are really cool! The way they design their projects has opened my mind to new ways of thinking. We can explore and learn which ways of working we like and which we don’t like. Pann: There is a variety of instructors who each have their own teaching styles. Some ajarns are great and some are...really great!

in younger years, I can see an increase in the diversification of their talents, which is very impressive. Earn: INDA exposes us to so many things. I agree that the keyword that defines INDA is “diversity.” I joined INDA thinking I wanted to be an interior designer. After I started, I realized that INDA was not at all what I expected. We were cutting boxes and designing spaces for a person who likes rain. There are so many different perspectives. We have a shared brief, but each student gets to explore it in very different ways. Even the programs and media we use can range from 3D animation software to hands-on methods. In year four, we get to choose our own studio, but after three years, you forget everything you thought you knew or wanted to be before. INDA has made my future so blurry (in a good way). It has totally reshaped anything I thought I knew about architecture and about myself. It’s so much more than designing a building and making it beautiful. It really exercises our brains to think outside the box.

instructors but from our classmates through cross-studio discussions. We build strong relationships within our year-group that foster an even greater learning environment.

What are some topics you would like to see addressed in the design studio? Is there anything you wish you were learning more about? Orm: I think INDA should encourage more

site-specific projects. Sometimes I feel like we are still lacking a connection between our designs and the actual sites. We live in such an interesting city, and we should take advantage of that. There are so many unexpected moments. I see that a lot of our projects are situated here, and I think we should be encouraged to go to the site and talk to the people there, so our designs can really reflect the reality of what is happening instead of our own imagined reality.

Peera: “Provocative” is the word for me. Poompoom: One of the strongest points about

INDA for me is learning not just from 19

A Conversation with Students

Peera: When I look at myself and students

Peera: I see that a lot of the fourth-year studios encourage us to work on real sites, which really broadens my perspective on how to design from a multidisciplinary approach. It is also very impactful for me to see how what I do could totally change what is going on in an actual site. Minnie: It would be nice if we had more time to study the references that are mentioned in the studio tutorials. It would also be helpful to explore other aspects of contemporary projects in greater depth, maybe a course that highlights contemporary issues and fields of practice.

It’s so interesting that when we asked about topics or issues that you would like to explore more at INDA, the first answers were connected to local sites and communities. Our next question actually addresses this point. How has going to an international school like INDA opened up a global discourse for you? Have we been able to achieve a balance between connecting to the local and having a presence in our global society? Knink: This may sound ironic, but we value

the local community through people who are international. When our instructors (who are mostly from different countries) really take an interest in the local culture and what is going on in the community, this builds up an interest for us as well. ‘Ban Bat,’ a student project conducted by instructors Gian Maria Socci and Rebecca van Beeck, 2018

‘Pylonesque,’ a student project conducted by instructors Hadin Charbel and Déborah López Lobato, 2019 Orm: During my studies at INDA, I have really built up an appreciation of the city I live in and the people in it. Even though our projects address global issues, they are still designed and built in the context of Bangkok and Thailand. Knink: Yes, it is very inspiring to see how some of our instructors really cherish parts of the city that are often neglected by the locals, for example when INDA did the design and construction project with the Ban Bat community. Orm: I like that there are opportunities in the curriculum for projects like the one at Ban Bat where our designs are actually implemented at a specific site, and the local community can use those spaces. Toon: I agree that the design-build workshops

and the larger construction projects are good opportunities to implement our designs in local communities. Some of these projects, like last year’s Pylonesque project in Uthai Thani, have gone viral and attracted international recognition. These are the kinds of projects that connect us to both the local and the global community.

In the past, INDA has been described as an experimental program. How do you think INDA is experimental? Miriam: I think the way that INDA’s design

studios are ambiguous (not telling us exactly what to do) is something I really enjoy. I like to explore and study through references and try to

Pann: Experimentation in our design process helps us to learn about ourselves and discover our strengths, but we don’t evaluate the results of our designs through real users enough. When we design, we sometimes interview residents and then use the information to influence our project. But after we have the outcome, we rarely (if ever) take that outcome back to the people we talked to and hear their thoughts. Does this process really resolve whether or not our designs serve the people? How do we know if our experiments actually work? Peera: It’s good that most project briefs at INDA don’t give a clear picture of an outcome (a 50-story building or a kitchen, for example), but instead they show a range of possible outcomes. INDA does not provide us with exact steps for how to resolve our designs either. As a result, our projects are always different from everyone else’s. These kinds of projects allow the research to lead us to potential outcomes. INDA lets us explore the imperfections within ourselves.

What are your thoughts on learning remotely via online platforms? What are the best aspects of remote learning, and what do you see as the biggest challenges?

and disciplined because we are at home for a long time, and the bed is right there! It’s quite challenging. Knink: One positive result of working remotely is that it encourages new ways of getting together. For example, INDA arranged a collective online game night, which was a really nice break. In terms of work, I think we are more productive when we are 100% online. Now that we are in a hybrid learning environment, it’s a bit difficult to juggle between classes we need to attend physically and classes we have to attend virtually.

Pann: We have to be a lot more self-critical and

self-motivated when we are at home. Usually, we get inspiration and ideas from interacting with friends in the studio space, but working remotely creates fewer distractions and gives us more autonomy over our projects. It’s a very different type of learning.

Peera: The INDA Parade was the best part. Since

Miriam: I really see design being about

Toon: The INDA Parade was very successful. I heard from friends in other schools that everything was cancelled for them, but for us, we had this platform where we could meet virtually and celebrate the end of the year.

interaction with people. To make a design, we have to talk and collaborate. When we are working remotely, it’s a bit harder to get inspiration. We also have to be very responsible

A Conversation with Students

adapt. It’s self-learning in a way, talking to my advisors and classmates, trying to solve my own puzzle and finish the project. The way that INDA instructors never really tell us exactly how to get to the goal is very beneficial. I have to think for myself and try to somehow get to the goal which is, in a sense, experimental.

it was held virtually online, we had the opportunity to invite people from around the world to join the studio reviews, and that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. I also really enjoyed the lectures from our guests during the event.

Orm: I agree. It was a new opportunity that allowed us to discover new types of representation through Sansar, where our designs could be virtually built and experienced at 1:1 scale. With this online platform, we were also able to see other people’s presentations via livestream, which also gave us more exposure to other topics and ways of working. I definitely missed my friends and the physical environment of the studio (distractions included), but overall, I think it was a great semester. Poompoom: We love Sansar and think it’s a

great platform, but it was also our last semester at INDA. Learning online was great, but learning for me is about exchanging ideas and creating a lively and engaging atmosphere. We had to find other ways of communicating with our friends and recreating the studio environment. Earn: For me, design school is not just an online studio and it’s not just about getting to meet friends. When we are stuck at home during lock down, I think it limits our creativity by not being able to visit different places or have new experiences.

What are some of your most memorable experiences at INDA? Miriam: The INDA Trip! It helps us get to know

each other and build relationships at the school, both within our year-group and outside of it. Orm: Normally, for the INDA Trip, the third

year students host a trip to welcome the firstyear students right before the beginning of the semester. Students from all years are invited to come together and participate in ice breaking activities, such as games, barbeques, and music. Toon: Working on the Moleskine exhibition we did at Bangkok Design Week 2020 was very eye opening. It taught us about managing the finances of a project, planning in advance, scheduling, working with big brands, and dealing with liaison staff in the Bangkok Design Week team. We also had to work with real materials and have the exhibition built on site. We also met students from other faculties. It was a really rewarding experience. Poompoom: My most memorable experiences

are probably events like the Intergames (the university’s sports competition between the

Peera: I recently had the opportunity to

participate in the new student orientation. Being in that event gave me the chance to listen again to what Ajarn Pat had to say to the first year students who were about to start their journey at INDA. I reflected back to when I was in their shoes and realized how much I have grown. Now in my final year at INDA, I am proud to be a fourth-year student and ready to move forward.

CRAFT

The Design Experimentation workshop 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. The theme of DEX 2020 is Craft which questions the application of craft in architecture in the age of mass-produced, standardized products that are taking over the position of crafted products. Craftsmanship today is challenged with insufficient successors, a lack of demand, increased competition, and the introduction of innovative digital technologies. DEX 2020 questions these issues by asking what todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craft is, how it can be sustainable, and how it can be integrated with technologies for architecture and design.

Yorgos Berdos and Cesar Cheng Disjunction Studio Through this workshop, students challenge the boundaries of digital fabrication, proposing a hybrid approach where craft, digital techniques, simulation, and material performance are the drivers of the design process. Students gain theoretical and hands-on knowledge of issues concerning computational design, 3D printing, membranes, shell structures, and textile engineering through the design of small-scale prototypes and a larger scale collective structure.

DEX / DESIGN EXPERIMENTATION WORKSHOP

Carlos Jimenez

This workshop questions the necessity of mass production in an ecologically balanced environment. Students propose and fabricate crafted design alternatives, merging digital tools, traditional local knowledge, and material experimentation to chart a new path that reduces our reliance on industrial processes, decreases the negative impact of contemporary â&#x20AC;&#x153;progress,â&#x20AC;? and lays the foundation for a new design ethos of ecological responsibility. The group creates prototypes of three different bio-resins made from natural vegetable fibers that offer environmentally sensitive alternatives to conventional building materials. 29

Brian McGrath Parsons School of Design

Groups of INDA students and Parsons students worked on one of four sites in Chiang Mai, 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

Same Same but Different Four Villages in Chiang Mai

and historical photographs of the villages with documentation of contemporary structures that reflect the adaptations of rural villages to an urban economy. The workshop emphasized field work including interviews, hand drawings, and prototypes based on participatory action research.

1:1 Street Food Urbanism Bangkok can be considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;food orientedâ&#x20AC;? city. The vast numbers of street food vendors create their own kind of urbanism, and we can learn how to read the city from their movements, routines, rules, and informal agreements. After cataloging the diversity of food carts that can be found around Bangkok, students designed a 1:1 scale food truck based on new ideas of craftsmanship.

Composing Crafts

This workshop challenges the dichotomy between technology and symbolism, asking students to design architectural objects and elements for a world in which myths, legends, dreams, and technologies coexist. Each student accumulates a diverse range of objects, and uses a variety of 3D modeling and digital sculpting tools (including Blender, Maya, Agisoft Metashape, and Zbrush) to combine them into fragmentary, imperfect, and surreal compositions.

The Seduction of Uniqueness

DEX / DESIGN EXPERIMENTATION WORKSHOP

Stefano dal Piva and Alexandra Polyakova (ACME)

The workshop seeks to explore what craftsmanship can be beyond conventional manual or mechanical production (e.g. robots, 3D printing, CNC, etc.) in particular with procedural processes such as chemical reactions (combining different substances) or physical transformations (applying pressure, heating, freezing). The proposed area of experimentation is the process of crystallization and how one can create a unique result that is beautiful and arguably seductive through a chemical and physical process. 33

Wataru Shinji and Lily Zhang

For millennia, we had lived together with nature, but this relationship changed dramatically after the Industrial Revolution and the rise of architecture that positioned itself against nature. We believe that now is the time to rethink how we use technology as a productive tool (rather than a destructive force) for both architecture and the environment, but how are environments created? Centuries worth of research have empowered us with the knowledge to craft the environment itself using technology. Students propose crafted environments at a variety of scales that are created by humans and nature in tandem.

DESIGN I Meal [Plan] focuses on the in-depth analysis, research, and observation of a specific ritual (a meal), resulting in a series of rigorous 1:1 orthographic drawings that range from the conventional to the exploratory and experimental. The second project of the semester, Table [Plan], expands on these methods of observation and analysis with a specific focus on design through making--in this case, a wearable device as a “table” or “desk.” The project is divided into three main tasks--an interview with an individual presented as a three-minute film, an iterative design development and testing stage, and a 1:1 built prototype. This prototype is further explained through a variety of visual media and a 1:1 patent drawing of a joint/ connection detail.

YEAR

Throughout the first semester and as an introduction to design, first-year students explore and develop a greater appreciation of observation techniques and analytical methods, ergonomics and the body’s relationship to its surroundings, iterative design development through testing and making, and effective means of representation that are both conventional and experimental.

DESIGN II Project 1: Boundaries | Peripheries | Thresholds asked students to carry out an in-depth site analysis of a twenty square-meter area of their choice along Rama IV Road by evaluating the conditions along boundaries, thresholds, and peripheries, and by identifying an aspect of making. These findings were explained through drawings, diagrams, and an experimental site model, questioning the conventions and exploring the potentials of a site model as a communication device.

ONE

Project 2: Person | Place | Thing asked students to extrapolate key findings and investigations from their site analysis in project 1 and design an architectural folly by a â&#x20AC;&#x153;makerâ&#x20AC;? in the year 2030. By means of comparison to a maker in 2020, students speculated about the routines, activities, and processes that such a maker may have in the year 2030. This premise allowed students to develop their designs by establishing a program that celebrated the role of the maker, his/her engagement with visitors, and his/her relationship to the site.

Design Tools and Skills 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. Design Tools and Skills Two (DTS2) seeks to develop studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; representation and communication skills through the use of digital and analog tools. The course is composed of workshops that deal with softwares and formats such as digital models, animations, videos, collages, and maps. The exercises incorporate architectural elements and artistic references to encourage the development of unique, personal graphic styles. 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.

Introduction to Environmental Design 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 create a 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. Instructor Surapong Lertsithichai

DESIGN III Trans-Canonics An architectural canon is most commonly identified as such through its autonomous reflection of the discipline materialized through the architectural object itself. Therefore, though it may be considered somewhat erroneous to examine canons for anything other than their relation to Architecture (with a capital A), for the purposes of the Trans-Canonics studio, we do exactly that.

YEAR

Analyzing canonical projects reveals both the historical significance and the embedded complexities of architecture as an inherently polyvalent construct that addresses politics, economics, technology, ecology, and human/non-human conditions. Treated as allinclusive thoroughfares, these subjects are then re-examined in a contemporary context, prompting methods of engagement through an “Altering Device” and serving as entry points into speculative futures through a mediatized “Alternate Projection.”

The studio culminates in an experimental pavilion that locates architecture at a critical turning point today and embodies ever-expanding ‘trans’ conditions; doing away with binary modes of thinking where the physical and virtual overlap and where pasts and futures are iteratively updated.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN I Unbuilt Visions of the East Architecture hangs precariously between the built and the unbuilt. For every piece of architecture that is realized, there are hundreds of unrealized visions confined to history as paper architecture, simply too radical for their time. Cumulatively, they represent an immense body of work, thought, and energy. Although many well known architectural visions come from a Western cultural context, there are numerous examples of visions of the East which have served as starting points for our investigations--from the Dusit Thani miniature city envisaged by King Rama VI to OMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hyperbuilding for Bangkok and Katsuhiro Otomoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cyberpunk visions of a post apocalyptic Tokyo.

TWO

The intention of this semester is to respond to current issues in the Southeast Asian context such as climate change, digitization, and rapid corporate development. Through their own visions, students aim to get to the root of the Eastern spirit and embrace it to challenge the way we live and the way we can live.

BUILD

In Design-Build projects, students 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.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced more physical isolation due to daily online activities such as Zoom meetings, Google Meet lectures, online exams, and digital submissions. After the pandemic, our social lives may change forever with limited social encounters and gatherings only reserved for special occasions. This may lead to less social interaction and fewer chance encounters which are valuable for a tightly-knit group such as the Faculty of Architecture where students spend most of their time together. Inspired by the giant Ghibli clock in Tokyo, the Performative Clock serves as one of the must-see attractions at Chulalongkorn University, and it attempts to reconnect the community through carefully orchestrated performances that attract the attention of the wider public.

Collaborators MakerAsia

The onset of digital media, machine learning, smart systems, and the internet of things has constructed a hybrid reality that is in permanent flux. What has yet to be considered from a disciplinary design standpoint, however, is that all our technology requires physical substrata that directly affect the built environment. With the rise of integrated media and augmented reality platforms, we are beginning to see new opportunities for design in architecture. This design-build workshop re-examines perceived distinctions between tangible architectural spaces and the digital realm. Students explore the new agencies of computational design afforded by augmented reality environments and their interrelationships to physical objects.

Cyborg Architecture

By investigating the design potentials of machine vision, the course imagines new architectural typologies that are simultaneously physical and digital. Students are introduced to visual scripting, digital manufacturing, and gaming engines. Working in groups, they produce a series of architectural elements that are highly articulated for augmented reality tracking, and they also create augmented reality apps that overlay their physical objects with digital data. In aggregate, the resulting hybrid digital/physical environments create urban landscapes that enable data to begin to take on phenomenological qualities.

Circular Economy

Looking beyond the current take-makewaste extractive industrial model, the circular economy aims to redefine growth and focus on positive society-wide benefits. It entails gradually decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources, and designing waste out of the system. Underpinned by a transition to renewable energy sources, the circular model builds economic, natural, and social capital. This project is a collaboration between INDA and SCG to investigate the possibilities of a circular economy through the reuse or remaking of sludge waste material provided by SCG. Students work with SCGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest technology to create ideas and develop product designs for wall tiles and other types of products, which are later exhibited at SCG Experience at the Crystal Design Center (CDC) in Bangkok.

The lens has spectacularly framed our world, increasing visual exchange and interaction through the use of gestures and language. The precarity created by Covid-19 is offering new opportunities to challenge the premise of these interactions. In the realm of design education and the inhabitation of real and virtual space, the presentation is a fundamental tool for production and for the exchange of ideas. It is a moment during which ideas and arguments about design, research, and experimentation are manifested. The presentation is an opportunity to campaign and become an activist of your own convictions. This project aims to explore the formation and presentation of work through performance and space. 73

They have proposed various “re-fitting” operations for existing housing projects, generating an architecture that takes care of not only its users but also a larger group of citizens, their ecosystem, and broader shared resources.

YEAR

Considering existing architecture, students develop their proposals as strategies that are sensitive to differential obsolescence and that can transform, grow, and be repurposed. Time (of use, of maintenance, of modification, of performance) also became a crucial factor in the design process.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN III Countryside In general terms, the idea of the countryside is very present in our daily lives. It is normally perceived as a serene place of escapism, far from the hectic rhythm of cities, where a more ritualistic way of living still survives, sometimes connected to an oversimplified idea of pristine nature. But it is also and mainly the place in which most of the economical production of each country still resides, a land that is depopulating yet growing, acquiring all the activities that are incompatible with cities.

THREE

If we look at the Thai countryside, it seems to host all the shades of colors between these two poles: it is a territory still dominated by old practices, run by family businesses with little income and, at the same time, and sometimes in the same space, it is rapidly transforming following transnational investments, and increasingly populated by more and more automated productive infrastructures. It is a place of thematic resorts, pop escapism and, at the same time, and sometimes in the same space, of living vernacular traditions and relevant forms of collective intelligence. This complexity, accentuated by deregulated grounds and conflictive cohabitations, and intensified by the climatic transformation of the region, is a relevant ground to reflect and imagine alternative stories/futures for a territory experiencing incremental and radical change.

Architecture, Community, and Ecology Architecture, Community, and Ecology aims to escalate a level of critical thinking and broaden individual perception beyond physical structures. We acknowledge a dissatisfaction with 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. 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 an understanding of process--how things work in space and time.” 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 precludes final solutions and instead offers a structure which is capable of responding to changing social needs and biological requirements.

Architecture and Urbanism The course delivers a foundation of tools, skills, knowledge, and discourse on urban design from multiple perspectives, as well as a critical way of seeing contemporary urbanism. Students are required to observe, investigate, and question the everyday realities in both local and global contexts in order to develop practical and strategic tools for intervention. The course outlines a set of alternatives to the typical role of architect, designer, or planner that encourage students to take a more critical stance on issues related to design. Students work across multiple time frames and scales--from the neighborhood to the region--in order to understand how relationships between various actors in both built and natural environments shape everyday phenomena. Students are encouraged to develop clear outlooks on possible urban scenarios that foster inclusion and participation, leading to spatial justice for their proposed sites. In coordination with the third-year design studio, the course addresses the productive transformations in the urban-rural fabric or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;countrysideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; across different regions of Thailand including Chonburi, Rayong, Korat, Ayutthaya, and Kanchanaburi. 87

Environmental Technology and Integrative Building Systems Design Encompassing two semesters, the Environmental Technology course 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 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.

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 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).

When seen from above, Roi Et appears to be an endless patchwork of agricultural fields. The site for the project is located in this rich landscape, with a chicken coop, concrete cylinders, a religious monument, and a playground unconventionally defining its boundaries. The design aims to be more than a canteen that is only used for meals. It is a multi-purpose space that also becomes a place for learning and play outside of lunchtime. Conceptually, the project weaves the natural world into the Baan Non Wittayapat school campus by promoting natural ventilation on the site and framing views of the surrounding nature. Under the three roofs, children can take ownership of the space in unexpected ways which enables freedom and creativity to flourish.

INDA Community [Drive-In] Cinema

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR COMMUNITIES

Drive-in cinemas emerged in the United States in the 1930s, but they have found renewed relevance in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Only one year ago, terms like “self-isolation,” “selfquarantine,” and “social-distancing” were simply not a part of the general lexicon. We now need to adhere to social-distancing measures, but we are inherently social beings. One of the few architectural typologies that can accommodate this unusual mix of self-isolation and entertainment is the drive-in cinema. In response, students designed a cinema installation that can be quickly assembled and disassembled to facilitate transportation to multiple communities around Bangkok. For the project to be economically sustainable over a longer period of time, a number of sites, programs, and festivals have been earmarked as potential opportunities for cinema events including the INDA Assembly, the Suanluang Square Field & Flea Market, and Bangkok Design Week 2021.

INDA Makes INDA Support Devices and the Value of the (Un)necessary

In an exploratory and ambitious school like INDA, the spaces where learning and experimentation happen are vital to its livelihood and its success as a creative hub. This workshop aims to design and realize support components and devices (including furniture pieces, identity elements, storage units, etc.) for the new studio spaces at the Chulapat 14 building.

Students research the social and creative dynamics of spaces that are not used specifically for classroom instruction in design schools around the world. They examine spaces that foster dialog and discussion, and they explore the value of seemingly unnecessary spaces and elements. How can we enable exchange and support informal interactions through the design of space and the objects within it?

In this workshop, students use the work of Matthew Crawford and other authors to explore the philosophical aspects of manual work and its relation to architecture. Students design and build mobile furniture units for use in the new INDA Lab at Chulapat 14.

INDA Lab

These units include work surfaces and overhead storage for models and drawings, and their modular geometry means they can be arranged together in groups of two, three, four, or six units to suit different group or class sizes. Along with the design of the workshop space, students explore the theoretical aspects of the idea that knowledge is a form of making and that craft is a form of negotiation between the maker and the physical world.

Will Hulbert and Thomas Lozada Bangkok’s grand trees are an essential part of the urban landscape. They provide shelter and shade; they act as gathering points for food sellers and tuk tuk drivers; they give the streets their distinctive character; they absorb airborne pollutants, and they sequester carbon. Trees provide habitats for birds, squirrels, and insects, and they have bridged human generations, embedding experiences and rooting communities. ‘Treescape’ embraces our inescapable connection with Bangkok’s trees through the construction of an elevated structure that brings together the local community in Phra Khanong. Students met with arboriculturalist Rainer Reichel to better understand the features and characteristics of the local trees, created a highly precise 3D photogrammetric scan of the trees, and presented their design proposal to the Phra Khanong District Authority for approval. A reinterpretation of a childhood tree house--an enchanting stage elevated above the site--the structure provides safe access to higher branches in the tree’s canopy and creates a unique space for play and for environmental connection.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IV-V

INDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-year â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;optionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; studios are meant to be fields of experimentation and intellectual exploration. Instructors propose different project briefs that are intended to provide students with a wide variety of topics, scales, and agendas. This fosters a heterogeneity of approach and provides students the opportunity to reinforce their interests or explore new disciplinary terrain. The studios are primarily research driven, with an experimental attitude to any form of design. Particular importance is given to fostering critical thinking and to developing and refining methodologies, both in the design process of each student and in the framework of each studio group. 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.

This studio employs a methodology of ‘critical speculative design,’ utilizing fiction to imagine new possibilities. It concentrates on architectural interiors and hyper-specific domestic spaces, with a particular focus on the role of technology in modifying our mundane and ordinary behaviors. Students construct ‘alternative futures’ or plausible scenarios that may be much less distant than we think. The detailed design of a domestic environment, including its form and construction, acts as a kind of social or cultural critique that promotes a rethinking of the structures of society and of the environment, which are necessary in times of deep ecological and socio-political crisis.

‘Bombay Spires’ studies and re-imagines the emerging urban typology of the mixed-use highrise in the context of India’s most global and cosmopolitan city. Students traveled to Mumbai for a four-day workshop with the global urbanologists at URBZ and selected sites across the city, documenting physical and social geographies as well as the living patterns of the closely knit communities around the Worli koliwada, Worli chawls, and Dharavi slums. The studio argues that vertical architecture cannot be separated from the fabric of the city or the public activity in which it grows. The projects call for mixed use transit-oriented developments (TODs) with programs that balance and intensify urban life and that recognize informal social networks and institutions. Students explore domestic and collective spaces in vertical buildings, new types of public space, the verticalization of real estate assets, and incremental urbanism.

‘You iiii everything else’ seeks to define and understand new and emerging ecologies in urban landscapes as a result of widespread automation and artificial intelligence. Through the development of fictional narratives, the studio explores the boundaries of our automated cultures. With multidisciplinary tools--lan Cheng’s ‘worlding’ methodology, augmented reality, and VR software, for example-students design immersive scenarios with a mix of human and non-human actors and routines that confront mainstream, homogenous smart-city visions.

You i i i i Everything Else Foo Guo Ming

Michal Jurgielewicz

Networks and information intelligence are the new frontiers, and so we need to define the roles of architect and designer by testing new experimental approaches. From nonhuman agents, chat-bots, and retail assistants to satellites, autonomous ports, earth-size virtual telescopes, and trading systems performing thousands of transactions per second, this technological landscape expands beyond our comprehension and forms a planetary-scale network of interfaces, users, geology, and hardware. The city is everywhere and has its own intelligences, but how are they affected by artificial intelligence and automation?

As part of an ongoing investigation into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Augmented Architecture,â&#x20AC;? a term which refers to physical architecture that can be enhanced with digital technologies in response to dynamic human behaviors, the studio explores transformable and responsive structures that could pave the way for new architectural typologies in the future. The architecture of tomorrow will face many challenges, especially with the decreasing availability of resources, materials, and physical space. Retrofitting existing buildings with new programs and updated sustainable systems may become the new norm. Students design flexible structures that can transform to accommodate a variety of functions and spatial configurations in order to determine if such physical transformations and interactivity can extend the use of buildings beyond their conventional lifespans.

Buildings typically consume more resources, generate more carbon emissions, and have shorter lifespans than ever before. This studio actively addresses the role of embodied energy in architectural design--which can be defined as the sum of all energy required to extract, process, transport, construct, maintain, demolish, and recycle the elements of a building--and redefines the value of reused building materials. Students choose a single widely-used building material, trace its path from raw material to installed component, identify material or logistical inefficiencies in its production processes, and speculate on the ways in which it could affect a buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afterlife at multiple scales. They then propose a wide range of non-standard practices including new formal possibilities, material experiments, processing techniques, component prototypes, construction systems, or recycling infrastructures. The studio balances broader conceptual ideas of impermanence, adaptability, and environmental impact with more technical issues of material specification, connection details, and assembly protocols through the design of a small-scale pavilion for events or exhibitions.

Craft for Today Piriyakorn Tamthong

Takanao Todo

Craft implies a richness in meaning, function, or ornamentation. This can be seen in products like ceramics, lacquer ware, wood carving, bamboo weaving, metal plate relief, and textiles; however, due to uncertainty in the current demand for these products, new approaches are needed. Students research and explore three key aspects of craft-tradition, lifestyle, and technology--and design a crafted product, which then informs the details and the concept for a showroom where the product will be displayed and sold. The showroom creates a dialogue between the products and the architecture in terms of material, texture, or form. The product and the showroom are then incorporated into the promotion of a brand. The commercialization of the products could take the form of a documentary, a brochure, a product sample, or a booth.

The Garden of Critical Delights

Inspired by the triptych oil painting ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ by Hieronymus Bosch, this studio concentrates on environmental criticism using the disciplinary tools of design and the methodology of ‘critical speculative design,’ a sub-field that utilizes fiction to stimulate debate. It focuses on the ‘architectural’ design of gardens as a medium to frame human relationships with the environment and with ecology at large. Through research about different forms of landscapes, the projects envision plausible alternative-present and near-future scenarios for novel gardens that offer critical reflections on pressing contemporary environmental concerns.

This studio seeks to analyze and reformulate architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with the ground. What is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the ground?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The crust of the earth? The soil, clay, and stone beneath our feet? The foundation, base, plot, and site upon which architecture rests? Indeed, the ground constitutes all of these simplistic definitions; however, as this studio reveals, it is a far more complex entity. It is owned, claimed, and territorialized, often perceived to be shared but in fact under the direct control of state or private interests. It is economically volatile, with a value which can change without any alteration to its physical substance. The ground defines what gets built and demolished and thus determines the city we live in. It is for these reasons that an analysis of the ground is of great urgency for architects and citizens.

An Architecture of Abstinence

Students develop their own intellectual frameworks in this field through a historic building project of preservation, restoration, adaption, addition/ subtraction, and/or re-purposing in Yangon, Myanmar. The studio questions whether human engagement within existing social structures is more relevant than built fabric, and the projects position preservation as a mediator, where architectural intervention can offer new readings of the past.

Every object that man creates is destined to decay, and preservation seeks to freeze or reverse the ephemeral aspects of human productivity through restoring, renovating, or supplementing historic artifacts. Preservation requires an understanding of the layered narratives of buildings; it can confront history and illuminate erased or forgotten moments. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;An Architecture of Abstinenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; studies architectural preservation, a broadening field of practice that invests buildings from the past with renewed cultural currency.

In a society in which carbon emissions and waste can be traded, where fake followers dominate Instagram, and where consumer goods are manufactured and distributed from increasingly remote locations and landscapes, why not build economies based on equality, plankton blooms, reforestation, or even love? ‘Tipping Points’ researches the planetary scale infrastructure of Earth’s life-support systems and re-evaluates the social and cultural effects of climate change through a series of protocols, interventions, behaviors, and ecologies in different landscapes.

If nature is artificial, built through a collection of data, histories, cultural artifacts, and measurements, we should redefine our perception of current urban socioeconomic models. Following a book design workshop with Pat Laddaphan and Piyakorn Chaiverapundech of Studio 150, students used publications and game engines as the primary media to construct speculative narratives.

Elisa Iturbe, in her essay entitled “Architecture and the Death of Carbon Modernity,” refers to our interconnected network of architectural typologies, infrastructural systems, and urban configurations as “carbon form.” “Carbon Modernity” is a way of life, an economic engine, and a social order--it is everywhere. In order to create fundamental change in the way buildings are conceived and executed, we must interrogate the foundational carbon infrastructure that undergirds contemporary architectural production. The studio re-evaluates the role that carbon plays in contemporary architectural and urban systems.

Kanchaporn Kieatkhajornrit Students imagine future scenarios that offer alternatives to the status quo, and they propose high-density housing projects that speculate on new ways of living and interacting with a transformed carbon/energy infrastructure

In his description of the flâneur, French poet Charles Baudelaire talks about a peculiar character who wanders the city, observing with a certain curiosity that which is beautiful and all-encompassing. But, as opposed to the derivé, the flâneur takes a much more passive approach to how the city is read or understood and does not necessarily intervene. In this studio, each student is required to become a flâneur/

flâneuse in order to absorb particular conditions of Bangkok and to develop the premise for an architectural proposal that is contextual, beautifully crafted, programmatically complex, and technically well-resolved. This is achieved through a process of design through making--making drawings, making models, and making devices that lead to sophisticated and experimental projects. 115

This studio envisions landscape as infrastructure that underpins nationwide conservation and the operation of protected areas in Thailand. Landscape infrastructure is an interconnected network that sustains ecosystem values and functions and provides a range of benefits for wildlife and people. It is amplified by biophysical systems, and it becomes a sophisticated web of essential resources, processes, and services.

Landscape Infrastructure Reconnecting Fragmentation

In Thailand, synergistic effects between habitat fragmentation and global climate change become critical challenges in conserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem functions. What is the role of landscape infrastructure in contemporary forest conservation? The studio offers an experimental platform to redefine the framework of this issue and the extent of intervention that is necessary to tackle the challenges of forest ecology and design.

Drawing a Crowd

These ephemeral qualities encourage the search for an architectural language and generate a series of questions: What makes a crowd a crowd? Is there a limit in scale and size? Is it ruled by order or chaos? Where and when is it created? How are access and limits defined? Is everyone invited? How is the crowd a project? This studio focuses on the research and design of large-scale events in Bangkok. Students design a speculative proposition which, for a defined period of time, radically transforms public space in the city.

To picture a crowd is arguably one of the most challenging tasks in the field of representation. In various historic depictions, the crowd is often framed as an entity, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that conveys a spiritual or political message. Somewhere between order and chaos, the critical dimensions of a crowd are based on spatial and social proximities that are constantly changing.

CAADRIA Conference “Re: Anthropocene” This year, INDA hosted the 25th Conference of the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA) under the theme “RE: Anthropocene Design in The Age of Humans.” The term ‘Anthropocene’ (the Age of Humans) has gained increasing recognition as a description of a crucial geological stage of our planet as we face the consequences of our own actions on the earth’s ecosystem. If human creations are substantial enough to start a new geological epoch, what does this imply for our explorations in the realm of computational design, and how will advanced technologies shape our future?

Architizer One Drawing Challenge Thanks to social media, more people than ever now consume architecture every day through their feeds. However, their attention is fleeting— with millions of architectural ideas flowing across the web, each designer has just a brief moment to make an impact. This means one image or drawing needs to possess the power to tell a whole story on its own, in seconds. Architizer’s One Drawing Challenge poses one question: Can you create a single drawing that tells the story behind a complex piece of architecture? ‘Land of Electric Beasts : Machine Landscapes of the Post Anthropocene,’ depicts a speculative scene of a post-human rural landscape in the not-sodistant future. It is a journey into a vast land of automation and an agricultural machine landscape in the countryside. Based on the acceleration of existing trends and technologies, it is but a small window into an emerging reality, a new nonhuman wilderness dominated not by the natural world but by a new set of machine ecologies beyond human scale and understanding. @architizer #OneDrawingChallenge

The Digital Colosseum: The Future of Esports in Architecture

Fourth-year students Boontita Boonsusakul and Buncharin Eua-Arporn won first place in the “The Digital Colosseum: the Future of Esports in Architecture” competition with their entry “Vr Chic(k)” which proposes to transform left over space under the highways that is not being used to its full potential into an esports arena. Virtual chicken fights preserve traditional cultural values and reduce animal-abuse issues.

The ArchiDogs 2020 Global Architecture School Project Showcase Virtual Event explored student work from around the world according to three themes: “Urbanism,” “City Life,” and “Nature Power.” A jury of academics and professionals reviewed student projects from ten design schools, including Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Pratt Institute, University College London, and Tunghai University, and conducted an in-depth discussion with the online audience. Two fourth-year INDA students were invited to participate in the event and present their most recent projects. Kanchaporn Kieatkhajornrit presented ‘Urbivore,’ an exploration of a mixed-use urban farming community, and Sitanan Teeracharoenchai presented ‘Theater of the Deaf and Blind,’ a multisensory experience where the building acts as both conductor and performer.

Urban Reimagine Fourth-year students Sitavee Veravit and Napatsorn Mongkoldet participated in the Urban Reimagine Design Competition & Showcase 2020 where they received an honorable mention prize. Their ‘City of Mobility’ proposes a balance between industrial efficiency and the social infrastructure necessary to improve the quality of life of residents in Chonburi.

Bangkok Design Week 2020 Moleskine x INDA: Refit Moleskine x INDA: REFIT, a collaborative exhibition, presents student projects that examine obsolescent collective housing through the lens of tweaking and caring and that propose to â&#x20AC;&#x153;re-fitâ&#x20AC;? or generate an architecture that takes care of its occupants, the larger community, and the ecosystem in which they are situated. Students translate these concepts from the architectural scale to the scale of objects--Moleskine notebooks--that they use every day as designers. Notebooks are design tools that are deeply integrated with the creative process, and this exhibition documents how the ideas contained within them can become part of our imaginations through recrafting the materiality of the notebook itself.

The pavilion is thought to be an attractor for different insects and other animals, who are invited to perform on the structure in different moments of the day. The black color, achieved through glossy painted plywood, branches, and e-waste components, attracts bugs like dragonflies, who perceive it as water due to their polarized vision. Made from wood and plastic, the project reflects on unconventional material assemblies and cycles of production and waste. E-waste is also repurposed in furniture and other details and fittings to engage in a larger discussion on reuse and recycling. Furthermore, the lighting design attracts important night pollinators such as moths. The pavilion has been displayed at the Wonderfruit Festival in Pattaya (2019) and at Bangkok Design Week (2020). It will also be shown at the forthcoming Venice Architecture Biennale in 2021. The project has been kindly supported by the Embassy of Italy in Bangkok.

Bangkok Design Week 2020 Pretty Good Privacy Human self-expression has an enormous carbon footprint, producing new data every minute. Large repositories of photos and projects occupy forgotten folders on hard drives, while cloud servers filled with 3D scans and other digital assets continue to expand. Every new smartphone has depth-sensing cameras, foreshadowing a new frontier of 3D data. We are moving from an image culture into a 3D culture containing endless fragments of reality. Pretty Good Privacy is an exploration of personal and public datasets and a reflection on new ways of using the digital scraps that we collect on a daily basis. It proposes a shared network where algorithms can identify and contribute to environmental change. Can we train bots or image classifiers to recognize the pixel colors of bleached coral? Can neural networks be trained to analyze beach erosion from holiday photos and weekend trips? The first part of this mixed-media installation uses personal scuba diving footage to display information about coral reefs, while the second part uses game design tools and online asset libraries to excavate bits of human culture and reconfigure them for new landscapes and narratives.

How do you apply what you learned at INDA (skills, knowledge, findings) to your research practice?

“While being educated in architecture, I also got to do research in branding and identity in my second year studio at INDA. Little did I know they would become some of the essential skills in the work I do today, where design and branding go hand in hand.” – Nichakul “Poon” Kulvanich

“Architectural education is (as we know) very intense. You are asked to do a lot--learning a lot of different softwares and producing different types of media. If you compare it to other disciplines, I think you [students] have the upper hand, since you can easily pick up on anything you learned in school and apply it to working in the research industry. In the applied research field, it’s less about technical skills and more about the approach you take on your work that really matters.” – Varis “Nott” Niwatsakul

Cultivating Creativity

Creativity is an indispensable skill that most design professionals acquire through educational and professional experience. Here at the International Program in Design and Architecture, students are cultivating this skill through a carefully crafted pedagogical and curricular structure, an examination of critical design issues, a series of ‘making’ and building environments like our fabrication labs, and the mentorship of our many talented and energetic instructors from around the world. This makes INDA a unique program full of opportunities and unexpected potentials for our students. As for myself, a relatively new instructor here at INDA who has over twenty years of international experience specializing in human learning development and creative spatial thinking, I have the great pleasure of overseeing INDA’s academic affairs and helping our coordinator team shape INDA’s curriculum and course content. Our ongoing mission is to seek more and better opportunities for our students and to effectively prepare them as creative professional leaders in design, construction, and innovative fields, both locally and globally. Learning from my research in cognition and human development at Columbia University, I recognize that the creative process is a combination of exploring novelty and utilizing multiple perceptual systems (e.g. vision, sound, touch, taste, and smell) in different regions of the brain (rather than just the left or the right side as has been commonly misunderstood). Students repeatedly engage with perceptual tasks and advance their creative abilities during their many projects at INDA. As a result, I see that our students are well-equipped to navigate the increasingly intricate and ill-defined nature of life in the twenty-first century. Above all, INDA students are given the opportunity to refine their critical thinking skills and their aesthetic sensibilities through integrated lectures, design studios, DEX workshops, design-build projects, and other hands-on tasks. As an educator and researcher, I have seen the creative development of our students naturally evolve from day one through their last day of class. This creativity will remain with them and continue progressing further in whatever career or field they choose to pursue. The other important quality I enjoy witnessing in the INDA community is the ability to adapt and turn any challenge into a creative opportunity. Our instructors and students can mix, match, adjust, and improvise their design tools, techniques, processes, and representation methods as needed to help express their own critical points of view and contribute to a larger discourse. The best example of this occurred when INDA was restricted by social distancing measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We adapted and immersed ourselves into alternative learning and teaching spaces and experimented with unconventional hybrid physical-digital environments such as the virtual worlds of the INDA Parade. INDA was one of the first institutions to embrace the challenge and respond to the pandemic’s unexpected constraints in such an innovative way. In the end, it is not a surprise for me to see the true extent of the creativity that INDA embodies and the ways in which we continue to push boundaries. I enjoy being a part of the team and helping to actively promote this collective creative endeavor for our community.
