LAND USE IN AYUTTHAYA

In a recent innovation internship project conducted by the Asian Institute of Technology in collaboration with KL University, we architecture students had the opportunity to explore the powerful ArcMap GIS software developed by ESRI. The software is an essential tool for land use and land cover change detection in urban planning and management In this project, we used ArcMap to analyze and visualize spatial data for land use and land cover changedetectioninBangPa-Indistrict,Ayutthaya,a moderncitywitharichhistorylocatedinthecentral region of Thailand We acquired and processed satellite imagery, aerial photographs, and other spatialdata,andusedsupervisedclassificationand different image techniques to detect changes in land cover We also utilized ArcMap's tools for visualizing and analyzing land use and land cover data, including the Time Slider tool and the Spatial Analyst extension After analyzing the results, we foundthattherewasasteadydeclineingreenlands andwaterresourcesandanevidentgrowthofurban areas Ourgoalistoprovidevaluableinformationfor decision-makers and stakeholders to improve the quality of life for urban residents and promote sustainableurbandevelopment.

The use of software such as Autodesk-Revit and Rhino(Grasshopper)hasreplacedthetraditional2D drawing software, providing valuable outputs in less time. Computational design allows for generative modules to design itself according to user commands, which has been effectively used in parametric construction industry since 2014 Advancements in technology are creating opportunities to use it from small-scale to largescale projects The author also predicts that the construction industry will use time-saving methods by utilizing platforms and 3D printing to enhance sustainabilityinthefuture

The article presents an example of a project done by a startup firm, Arckeytect, led by Adnan Makda. The firm proposed an interpretation center in Gujarat, where the central idea is to create a building that showcases the renewal happening outside once people enter inside The design decisions of the project included creating a minimum footprint to avoid further damage to the already damaged site, designing openings based on different light conditions required for different spaces, and minimizing non-renewable energy usage. The project's process involved creating an algorithm based on the areas required for each space and the percentage of opening it should have, marking spots where renewal is taking place, and creating a generating algorithm that created the shell structure with an opening in the direction ofthemarkedspaces

The reality of Architecture isn't contained in the roof and walls,but in the space within.It is the space that is -Nari Gandhi

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN ARCHITECTURE

Dr KarteekGuturu AssistantProf,SPAV PlenarySpeaker

The new technologies platforms created by METAVERSE and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE are the future for creative fields. Global architecture is shifting into futuristic designs through Computer generated designs. Meta verse and AI offer opportunities to design, visualize and simulate buildings in a virtual environment, improving efficiency and sustainability Architecture's future lies in skillful tool utilization to create optimal environments that enhance quality of life and
