WHO? A Collaboration between students and tutors from Uni t 22 at the Bar tlett School of Architecture, University College London [UCL] and Faculty of architecture, Chiang Mai Univer sity [FACMU]. Organised by Unit 22 tutors Izaskun Chinchilla and Carlos Jimenez and FACMU tutor Julien Huang.
WHEN? Brief Development Nov 2013 Bar tlett students Visit FACMU 1st DEC 2013 Constrution 3rd - 1 0t h D EC 201 3
PROGRAM The workshop will take place between 1st of December 2014 and end 10th December 2014. Comprising cultural trips to visit vernacular banboo frame buildings and construction of 5 bamboo installatons, based around the concept of 5 key thresholds.
SIZE
Th a i l a n d SE Asia
[Count ry]
There is no specified size for each installation. However all work will be constructed at a scale of 1:1.
C hi ang M ai C i ty, C hi an M ai
MATERIALS WHAT? 5 installations built built around the FACMU campus.
WHY? Future Nature aims to redefine the relationship between human and nature; whereas modern architecture traditionally included tools and ele ments that shelter us from the natural environment; but this very act of protection actually is becoming an act of destruction of nature. The goal of the workshop is to investigate how we can reverse thi s process, thus creating a more harminous relationship.
The main material used in the construc tion of the installations will be bamboo. This is readily available in Nor then Thailand and matieral traditionally used in Vernacular Thai Architecture. Additional materials will be sourced as required dur ing the design and constr uction phase.
BUDGET Beyond the bamboo which is supplied by FACMU, there is no fur ther budget for materials. Students are encouraged to fi nd re cycl e found mate r i al s w he rever possible.

SPONSERS WHERE?
The Project is sponsored by FACMU and the Bar tlett School of Architecture
Each installation will be sited on a given site located on the FACMU Campus, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

is an attempt to improve the function of those elements alone.
JOANNE’S PROTOTYPE - WATER COLLECTING FACADE Proposal: Structural Water Collection/Weather Responsive Facade The proposal is a timber framed facade that wraps around a building in a spiral formation to give extra support and rigidity to the primary structure. Formed from a series of triangulated timber frames the facade takes inspiration from Japanese Origami techniques - creating a framework by following the lines of paper folds to produce geometry from timber, increasing it’s structural properties. The ambition is that the frames will be clad in pannels, which slot into the frame performing various functions to service the building and respond to the climate.

1. Water Collection
2. Ventilation
Woven nylon wraps the frame to collect fog. The shape of the structure chanels the water droplets to water storage tanks or to irrigate plants lower down the facade.
Parts of the cladded pannels wll be perforrated to alow for ventilation. The pannels could act as louvres, which can be opened and closed depending on the weather.
3. Heating Folded metal sheet absorbs solar radiation - when water passes through pipes below the facade, the water is heated, forming a passive heating system.

THREASHOLD The intallation will be located next to a 5 m glazed wall of the exhibition room. This room apparently goes unused at the moment as it is too hot duing the day due to solar gain.
FOOTPATH RUNNING ALONG SIDE SITE The site is located along side a footpath offerring the perfect oppor tunity for the window to act as a gallery, inviting passers by into the exhibition space.
INTERNAL VIEW OF THE EXHIBITION SPACE The large glazed wall means that the blinds often need to be closed to shade the room during the day.

Group 5- Curtain Passive Bamboo Curtain
Joi
Concept: Group 5 is developing a conceptual curtain that questions the roles of traditional glass windows have in a tropical and semi-tropical climatic environment. They have designed and fabricated a glass window replacement that is made from bamboo which contains 2 layers, one on the inside, and one on the outside.
