ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO 2016-2020
About me Since I was an architecture student, I tried to explore possibilities to integrate surrounding nature into the architecture with a strong belief that it would make human get closer to the nature. I also emphasized in a sustainable design to create an eco-friendly architecture in response to the current global warming situation. For the new journey after the graduation as a junior architect, I want to continue this practice and explore more into the process of analysis, space design, materiality, construction details and design solution. I considered myself as a hard-working person and can handle time management very well. With all of the affords, I also seek to improve my creativity, critical thinking and communication skills.

AQUACULTURE AND COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER BACHELOR THESIS Project year Site area Location Advisor

: Thesis 2019-2020 : 16,258 sqm. : Bang Khun Tien, Bangkok : Martin Schoch, Ph.D.
This thesis is derived from the current ocean crisis which is the overexploited fishery. We have already consumed half of the ocean’s resources which will finally run out in 2050 if the crisis continues. To solve this, aquaculture, which is the farming of fish and other organisms, was created. However, many farms are doing it destructively. Therefore, this project is created to show the new methods of doing the aquaculture in a sustainable way to the local community. The project creates a community learning center whose main objective focuses on providing knowledge about the Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) to local farmers, tourists, and students. It will also act as a new landmark where people go not only to learn, but also to do other activities together to create an informal learning and fun experience based on the space designs that combines aquaculture and recreation programs together. It will provide a new form of space design to serve the learning of aquaculture, but still give a familiar and local atmosphere by choosing appropriate materials and respecting the vernacular architectural design so that the local people will feel comfortable while approaching this place.

NO MORE RESOURCE
L
The overexploited fishery should be stopped. However, it is still necessary to have enough resources to feed the entire population. Therefore, Aquaculture is the answer. it is a farming of fish, crustaceans, and other organisms which can ensure the reduction of environmental impact by the cultivation of our own raised food resources. There are 3 types of it including outdoor system, semi-closed system and Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). The first and the second types have direct contact with the natural water ways and are considered unsustainable since they can cause contaminations and low survival rate. In contrast, RAS, which has both indoor and outdoor types, is a land-based system where recirculation process cycles water through filtration systems and returns back into the fish ponds. It is a fully closed system meaning that it will cuase low environmental impact which makes it the best choice among the 3 systems Unfortunately, most of the aquacultures in Thailand are open and semi-closed system meaning that we are polluting the environment and facing loss of profit from the low survival rate of the raised species. The architecture can provide about RAS to the farmers and persuading them to change their current setup. Also, it can apply sustainable strategies such as passive & active design and circular economy to create a sustainable facility for the community.

The aquaculture pond on the north provides stunning panoramic view.
DESIGN APPROACH Learning center + Community center The target is to combine a learning center with a community center. The building will act as a landmark institution that provides learning space and public space: a central activity center of people in this area. The design will also concern about integrating local elements to create familiar and friendly environment.
CONCEPT Aquaculture+ Public program They are integrated together to create informal and free exploration of learning space that is more lively and fun.
The form aims to reflect the shapes that are found in each type of spaces including: Outdoor aquaculture space (organic), Indoor aquaculture space (circle) and Human space (rectangle). Each space also represents the characteristics from “nature” to where “man-made meets nature” to fully “man-made” space. The arrangement of the 3 geometries will create the transition of those spaces. TRANSITION OF 3 GEOMETRIES: ORGANIC + CIRCLE + RECTANGLE
Outdoor aquaculture space It has organic shape to represent the natural habitat of fish.
Surrounding landscape Organic landscape containing outdoor aquaculture programs.
NATURE
Indoor aquaculture space It has circular shape which comes from the indoor pond shape.
Circular sunken courtyard The sunken space helps maintain indoor pond’s temp. and also creates welcoming atmosphere.
MAN-MADE meets NATURE
Human/Public space The most suitable and practical space for human is rectangular space.

The circular fish pond is equipped with bench to allow people’s interactions. The main materials are raw concretes along with some wood decorations to give raw and local atmospheres. The sunken court is covered with gravel for fast water draining.
2ND FLOOR The second floor hosts office and public spaces that need more privacy: Library, Permanent exhibition and Restaurant which also take views of the surrounding landscape. The material sets are still resemble those on the first floor. However, woods become the main ones to provide warm and comfortable atmosphere which are inspired from the local houses.

ROOF DESIGN
The main structure is supported by concrete columns and fire staircase cores to prevent corrosion from seawater. The second floor is constructed by using post-tension concrete. As for the roof, an overlapped bamboo structure is chosen as it uses a local material. Also, its construction technique is easy, so the local people can be participated in the construction of this place.
The rainwater flows down to the indoor courtyard before going to the underground filtration tank. After it is filtered, it will be collected in the underground rainwater tank before being sent to reuse for irrigation system, sanitary system and refilling the aquaculture ponds.
The roof is designed to be curvy to help guiding the rainwater down to the indoor courtyard for reusing. Some parts of it also opens up above the entrace area to create a welcoming atmosphere while entering this place.

WHAT IS SOLAR DECATHLON?
RESILIENT NEST
The Solar Decathlon Europe is an international competition that challenges collegiate teams to design and build houses powered exclusively by the renewable energy sources: the main aim of competition is to promote of architectural solutions related to solar energy, renewable energies and innovative technologies through the houses built by the university teams.
Resilient Nest is an innovative dwelling solution on the rooftop that uses the nature as the conceptual model; how bird builds its habitat? The aim is not only to effectively fabricate and adapt into urban context but also to add values to the existing as well. In this regard, the Resilient Nest can provide a symbiosis relationship to the existing building where it rest upon by sharing the energy, food and water that is produced. For example, the shophouses in Bangkok, one of the most common building typologies in the city since the past. Due to urbanization, many of them are being demolished to build more multi-story residences and some are left abandoned. With “Resilient Nest”, it will help rejuvenating those shophouses and make them livable again. In this way, it could prolong the shophouses usage and conserve the long historical tradition of them for the future generations.

SYMBIOSIS RELATIONSHIP: MUTUALISM
Resilient, in this project, represents the ability to adapt and prepare for future economic, environment and climate shocks.
Nest is the representation of the concept of a bird’s nest. The main concept emphasizes lightweight, local material and mutual symbiosic relationships.
A symbiosis served as the concept of the Resilient Nest since it refers to a compound of two individuals of different species typically to the advantage of both partners. Both Resilient nest and existing structure will provide benefits for each other.

NEIGHBOURHOOD INTEGRATION & IMPACT Reducing energy consumption
Resilient Nest Can
Resilient Nest could reduce the existing shophouse bills by 30 percent of the total consumption. The average electrical bill per household of the Bangkok is 979 baths per unit. With 554,868 units, the electric bill can be cut down by 162,964,731 baht.
Rapid rising high rise condominium
Reducing energy consumption The installation of Resilient Nest along the roof of the shophouses will encourage people to live instead of abandoning them. It can help stop the urban expansion.
Possible future condition
Decrease condominium numbers by rooftop residence
Its placement will also improve the urban condition by providing job for local workers to construct the house, using local material, buying gadgets from local shops and inviting local artisans to participate in the project. Without the use of heavy equipment, its construction process does not interrupt the neighbour.

: 2018 : 10,185 sqm. : Ratchathewi, Bangkok : Martin Schoch, Ph.D. : Napatsorn Umpornwattanakul
The Student Christian Center is located in Ratchathewi, Bangkok, beside the BTS station. It contains dormitory, chapel and student center. Its old condition and inappropriate site planning making it uninviting to the public and inappropriate for the students who live there. The renovation takes place by preserving the old structure and respecting its legacy, both tangible and intangible. The concept is emphasizing and upgrading the Legacy, which is Opportunities, of this place through the usage of spatial environment, design language and new programs. Therefore, a new definition of this place is given as “Educational park” which comes from the one of the main objectives of this place, giving additional education, plus the existing characteristic of this place, being a green spot in the city. New programs that support education are added such as Bio-lab, urban farming, wetland, etc. Those programs are all related to ecosystem to provide a connection between the program and the green image in the site. The landscape design is changed to curve to create a flow circulation, almost like walking in the forest. The green scenery is also integrated into all the buildings to maintain the same environment. To conclude this place is aimed to be a real urban oasis where people can come in to enjoy while still gain knowledge from the provided facilities. Louver facade are introduced in order to provide privacy for the dormitory while maintaining the connection to the landscape.

THE PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN Project year Site area Location Advisor
: 2016 : 389 sqm. : Tha Kharm, Bangkok : Akarapon Nampeeti
This project focuses on providing the needs for the client, Mr. Nob Prateepasen, who works as the musician. Inspired by his carreer, the design derived from the analyse of the note of Pachelbel’s Canon, his favourite song, which has been transformed into the architectural form. Interval is the keyword of this project which was used as the tool for creating the form.
Has beat
Interval
No beat
The concept is to apply the space between the beats(notes) of each instrument in music as the interval between each space/room in the house. The space or the interval between the beats are the empty space that will occur when many instruments are played together with different speed of beats while it will disappear if the instrumentals are played at the same speed.
Since interval is the main concept, some strategies are used to emphasize it including: 1. The interval’s floor level is lower than normal floor level. 2. it’s wall is cladded with wood while normal is white. 3. It is where wind, rain, tree and light penetrate into the house to connect the house with the surrounding nature.

This project is located beside Rama 8 bridge. It is the community and art center for both local and other people including foreigners. The aim of this project is to connect the local communities and also people from other places together via art and provided activity spaces. The design tries to capture nice views of the bridge and the river. The concept is about reducing the strong impact of Rama VIII bridge. According to the section, the height of the bridge, compared to the neighborhood buildings, is so high that it is overcoming them. Therefore, the connecting line is created from the top of the bridge down to the height of the surrounding houses. The line is curve line as it creates smoother connection to the surrounding. Then, the building is created along the curve. Moreover, the tail of the building will be splited into 3 sections. These sections are created from the connecting lines drawn from the entrance of each community (Ban Poon, Wat Dao and Wat Phraya Siri Iysawan). It will create an inviting environment allowing them to intrude into the building.

Another project which is situated beside Chao Phraya river. The site is located on Charoen Nakorn road, not far from Krung Thonburi BTS station. There are 2 communities on each side of the site. One of them is an old neighborhood with a temple and school while another one has a more modern housing designs. A capacity of the arena is 2,000 seats. An environment of this area is pretty quite and lack of people which is contrast to its close surrounding such as Yannawa riverfront, Creative district, BTS, etc. are lively and full of people. This idea inspires the concept which aims to increase the liveliness of this area using “Activation“ keyword by bringing people in the communities to meet up with each other and also with other new people such as tourists and foreigners. In order to accomplish the concept, 2 methods are used including: Linkage axis strategy The 2 main linkage axises are created according to the accesses in the site. Building form strategy The form comes from the ant colony where there are chambers which are linked by passages. It can help activating the site since various programs will be distributed around the site and linked together creating interaction and connection.

This low-budget house project for elderly and bedridden patients in Tao Ngoi village, Sakon Nakhon province is a part-time job which hires graduated architecture students from King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). By surveying, understanding and living with the people in this community, we had got to know them better and analyzed the needs that they never knew they could
have to make their life better since they were living in bad conditions, for examples, old house with low natural light and poor ventilation. Our team also study the standard needs of elderly and bedridden patient in order to generate a suitable space with a combination of the flexibility that suit the daily life of those local people. We also concern about the natural light, ventilation system and the use of local
materials. Working under the limited budget, we still aim to create a new type of flexible space and design in order to provide a better quality of life and well-being for those local people.

This research focuses on unearthing the extraordinary spaces which are hidden inside the typical shophouses in Bangkok. The interested area is in Predibanomyong road because it contains various types of shophouses. We focus on the analysis of space organization in those buildings. The fact is that those dwellers can utilize the space so efficiency. Every inches of the spaces are used to maximum from floor to ceiling. This condition occurs from the compact space which cannot hold all the stuffs they have. So, they need to
come up with a new way of organizing the spaces. One of the most interesting spaces are the Hybrid shophouses. They look like plain house from the front, but in there, they are rebuilt and extended the space into something else. They are more than normal shophouses. We will show you 2 examples of them in the next pages.

09 Located between 2 different cityscapes, one with small and short buildings and another with large and tall appearance. Therefore, the design focuses on adjusting the new building size to match with these cityscapes by separating it into many smaller volumes. Moreover, the heights of each volume are also determined according to the height of the surrounding buildings. This will create a flow of city's skyline and smooth connection to the surrounding. For the target users, elders are chosen since the research shows that 25% of
people in Kashiwa are Baby boomers (54-72 years old) and 23% are Generation X (39-53 years old). This means that Kashiwa will turn into aging society soon. Hence, the programs in the buildings will accommodate those elders. For example, assembly room which hosts physical and mental training, outdoor sunken garden for exercising and resting, and library.

10 The existing atmosphere of Bon Mache is outdated, old and uninviting. There are low amount of green spaces and the space and programs focus too much on the elder accommodation. Also, The density of the building is blocking the visual connection between outside and the central pond which is one of the nice view in the site. Therefore, the new purpose is to give it a modern twist, fixing the atmosphere, making it more vibrant and enjoyable to invite the young generations to come here. It will focus on redesigning the
circulation by relocating the car circulation and emphasizing more on the pedestrian path and safety. The building is splited into an arrangement of many masses creating the visual connection to all buildings which host different programs, so that the customers can see all of them.
CHULANAK CANAL RENOVATION
KMUTT WORKSHOP: NANGLOENG’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY Project year Location Advisor
: 2019 : Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok : Dr. Chamnarn Tirapas Asst. Prof. Kisnaphol Wattanawanyoo
This workshop was a part of Nangloeng’s Creative Community project which is about transforming the old community of Nangloeng into a creative space for both local people and tourists. Our team chose to renovate the old canal (Chulanak Canal) which had houses settled along it. The canal was once connected with the other but was recently cut out making it became a closed canal with water pollution caused by waste water from the community. Most of the people in this area are workers who recently rent the houses. They do not care about its condition and would not bother having it removed while the original local people want to get their beloved canal back to a good condition just like in the past.

Therefore, the aim of this project is to create a public space for community interaction while restoring the canal’s condition to show those people what they can actually have. The canal is turned into a recirculation stream system and more green spaces will be added for visual attraction and biodiversity. There will be spaces which host specific program to activate the site all day long. These programs respond to the user’s timeline and their activities to make sure that they will appreciate them. This community bonding park will build up the relationship of the people and improve their quality of living.

The competition focused on creating a new mixed housing for Koliwada people which located in an undeveloped area of Mumbai. The aim is to reduce the gap of the discrimination between koliwada and the Mumbai urban. It’s a great challenge for the people who move into the city and the young local adults whose family is expanding, to settle down in a place; especially at the center of city like Mumbai. With the hope of providing new opportunities, enhancing the co-living condition, we proposed a residence which is both socially and economically activated. The building contains commercial units at the ground floor, providing the new settlers with business opportunities, while be able to create an interaction with the local (Koliwada) through businesses
and outdoor public activities which has been integrated into provided green and open spaces. The housing block is composed of 4 units types with a central open courtyard as a shared-public area for neighbours gathering. This open area is also allowing natural sunlight and ventilation through each living units creating a home welcoming atmosphere. The patios on the second floor act as transition before entering the units.The business area is located below each unit allowing first floor area to be an interactive area between people, socially and economically. Each unit contains bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, storage or net repairing room, living room and religious room.
