Following urban growth in Downtown Brooklyn, vertical structure is generated to served people need of living in the city. One of the approaches in this project is the direct connection to the transportation. As that focus, I then also suggest new hub and additional activities for public access. The programme are divided into two main parts which are plaza from the below ground until level 4 and residental area above Beside plaza, nursery, gym, swimming pool are also provided to public. Another thought here is to reduce the direct noices from ground level.

AXONOMETRIC RENDER
MIDDLE SCHOOL One of the most significant concept of learning process is to let a person directly experience or encounter the real situation by him/herself. To emphasize this idea, I am suggesting the way that student can do an experiment and at least understand more about nature. I then put the shot cut way for student to learn though experiencing a complex of the sun, water soil and small biology system(insectarium) into my programme.

POP SPACE One of methods for practice in Architecture is to do experiments in forms and patterns. From the early steps in this project, papers and foam models were generated from selected patterns. Not only for students understand the limitation of the materials ,but also explore the beauty of voids, volumns and interior space in three dimensional. Then, further developed model and in digital software.

VERTICAL LABYRINTH From the process of learning Ravit, 3ds studio max , animation, Maxwell rendering and After affect., I have learned a huge shift in my skills in term of graphic design sence (in architecture language). Also, my opportunity to strat reconsidering my portfolio format and improve it from last semester.

SPACE CURSIER Through Studied and practiced Rhinocores 3D rendering program and other representation software programs, A hair curler was decomposed into pieces and recorded its information in 2D technicial drawing. After modeling each component in Rhino, I then reasembled the object under concept of spaceship and galaxy.

Continuing developed idea and theme from the same object (Hair curler), Creating Models from Maya rendering software were generated and further emphasized the theme in the unlimited space.

NATURE’S WING Just as nature comes before all things we in turn are going back to nature - where the earth is rooted on - deriving the concept for Vector Aerospace Asia’s new office. Nature provides the best source of inspiration, flight movements and the spectacular vista that one sees while in flight.

RECEPTION AREA At the reception, nature elements abound. A vertical green wall runs from the floor up, effusing the office with a creative touch of greenery. Light timber plated are the walls while earthy hues cover the flooring, further enhancing the natural ambience. The corporate signage is affixed onto classy black gloss,underscoring understated elegance and professionalism at the same time.

General office+Conference Room The general office is stylized with nature’s elements: frosted stickers are in abstract forms representing aerial vista land masses seen from a point of view in flight; or could represent web details, symbolizing connectivity. Carpets adopt a taupe shade to signify earth; blue accents signifying waves of water. Furniture is covered with natural timber shades, whereas walls are hued in graphite for solidity, connoting boundary- breaking work.
FELICITOUS For a city to attract and retain corporations with national and global ties, efficient airports that are easily reached will be increasingly important. Thus, Don Mueang International Airport is totally suitable to be renovated because of its great location. Furthermore, an airport is a gateway to a city. First impressions are inevitable. To make a good first impression passion is necessary.

Sketch ideas
Thailand is one of the countries that has plenty of natural resources. Focusing on natural forms and Thai tradition, I have found that banana trees are very meaningful, useful and elegant. One Thai belief about banana trees is they are put in buildings to greeting people and wish them well. Thus, I think it is interesting and I did research for the ideas until I developed it into my concept.
This area is designed for passengers who are waiting for a flight or passing through including others activities such as, retails and book stores, coffee shops, cafĂŠs, restaurants, sleep zone and internet cafĂŠ. Also, provided place for muslim people to do their religious pray.
