Absence forms presence Presence forms absence
Presence = fullness
Absence = emptiness
The place without people is an ‘absence’, without a house there is no ‘home’ and with home there are people.
Derrida’ Philosophy of Deconstruction
Deconstruction is something that can be constructed and can be taken apart. To Derrida, it is a ‘method’ that he used to understand the mean of things. Understanding the absence, he had to trace from the presence which means everything comes from the trace of something else. Trace is the absent part of the sign’s presence. In another word, through the act of différance, a sign leaves behind a trace, which is whatever is left over after everything present has been.

Suprematist Composition
Suprematist composition explores geometric forms and emphasizes simplicity; their contexts, materials, and purposes differ significantly.
Suprematism is a movement in abstract art seeking emotional expression through form and color, whereas it helps emphasize functionality, material honesty, and structural expression in urban environments.
This diagram depicts the experimental site, with temples and monk houses ranking highest due to religious perspectives and this location offering the most reflective experience. Green spaces are being pushed down because they offer occupants an experience of greenery, river, and sky; however, the one behind the resident is to separate the residence and service, but it can also be the garden.
- reflective space
Bangkra Jao is located south of Bangkok. The site sits on the water edge, with a great panoramic view that can be observed from the site. It is made up of flat land that connects to the Chao Phraya River to the north-east. There are a lot of residents connected by roads. There are plenty of open spaces, which are composed mainly of empty land. The site is opposed to the hotels, condominiums, and firms across the Chao Phraya River.
The simplicity of solitude is what our mind contemplating to find. Space and privacy are what we found. Despite this, the creativity comes from the silence of nature.
From a moment and afterthoughts, this pavilion exposed the nature of light and wind. Surrounding with the green grass, the design talks about maximize the space with an industrialized design. The setting for relaxation is harmonized by elements of nature and man-made. ’Nectar’ is where the love of nature and modernization combines to form the space, an area that answers people's satiation.
The design contains the peak of contemporary style that matches simple geometric form. The shade of shadow water carries the light from the sun illuminates the space.
In this project, we first experimented with steel and wood, after which I chose to work with steel to construct a stool. This stool pleases my aesthetic taste because of its minimalist design. However, the stool is not perfect because of my inexperience working with this material. I chose the blue color because it represents ‘wisdom’, knowledge through experience that am acquiring in this class. In addition, believe this stool is a good representation of contemporary art.
The professor allowed us to work safely with steel and wood. This class has taught us how to express our ideas and imagination with real materials we are not familiar with. As a student, I have had a lot of fun in this class because love to work in a shop and experiment with new materials.
“Arbitrary” Concept
Arbitrary has many meanings in a term like…
Language: "Language is a system of arbitrary symbols that humans use to create meaningful communication with other users of the same language."
“Cube/box” is just a word that describes this form of an object. But if we ignore the form and the word itself, it can be anything.
The arbitrary perspective is the choice of what we want to see.
Let me say if want to put this box in the park, the reflection of each side will tell the story, like it gives you a different picture every time you see it. Because of the reflection and angle that tell us the story.
“Son of Mania” Single house Project Study
"The Son of Mania" is the creation of love by two destructive people. The simplicity and architectural mystery created the forms of light and shadow.
Showcasing the clients' taste in art and music, which still have the gimmick of their fun personalities.

However, the limitation is the eyes, because we can only see three sides of the box, and the size of the box has limited the view because the mirror is so small that the picture that we can see is also small.

Songkhla Kindergarten Project
“Waldorf is a home, a place to grow and learn. To engage the head, heart, and hands."
Site analysis
Songkhla is becoming a vibrant scene for Art blending between the old and the new. It portrays a perfect harmony of cultures and styles filling up the town with diverse languages in Architecture such as Chinese shop-houses, Sino-Portuguese shop-houses and modern Chinese Sensual space
The sensual space has engaged the children to use the space as their own. They have decisions to choose and experience by themselves, whether walking, playing, or even reading. The space cut down on organized activities. Within this big space, the children can engage with the landscape and playground. In the space, there is a garden, ramp, free-play area, reading area, and area for hiding. In this space, the children can experience nature while learning.
teaching system is rooted in human philosophy
Why? to teach the children of factory workers Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Company in Stuttgart, Germany. This is the source of the name Waldorf, All children, regardless of class and abilities, are treated equally, which makes the school of This is the first school to initiate social equality in education.
The goal is to develop children to learn and grow up with freedom and morality. Social maturity and creativity without focusing on teaching facts Homework or test scores, but will focus on storytelling and experimentation.

Charoen Krung Bathhouse Project
Under the concept of “SERENITY”
The Bathhouse project in Charoen Krung establishes ecological revitalization of a section of the right bank of the Chao Phraya River. The location of the bathhouse lies between two Chao Phraya rivers and the Charoen Krung community.
The Bathhouse is an introspective, fully immersive embodied sensory experience of water, light, scents, sound, and temperature, where the arrival, movement, acclimation, and relaxation create an intimate and unified relationship between place, body, and matter in architecture.
Privacy by design, create a level of abstraction in the design. This helps create the illusion or feeling for the visitors when they are coming into the building.
Strategy 1 Minimize
Strategy 2 Hide
Strategy 3 Separate
A sernaitate refuge for an individual and exploration of the experience of body, mind, and spirit. The enclosure exterior creates a secluded enclosure that captures a sense of peace. This provokes an intentioned experience of space, creating a diverse variety of unique spatial situations and moment to contemplate, relax and enjoy.
Urban green space is not enough in the charoen krung community, within the community itself full with art and culture for the tourist and non-local.

The absence of green space, Charoen Krung obligated green areas that promote psychological relaxation and stress reduction, as well as social cohesiveness and physical activity.
Thus, The lack of relaxation space that facilitated the well being. The definition of a bathhouse as a place devoted to overall well being through a variety of professional service that encourage the renewal of mind, body, and spirit.

Stress is a physical or emotional tension resulting from a challenge or demand. Stressors are situations or pressures that cause stress, and it can be internal or
self-generated, influenced by worry or pessimistic thoughts. The cause depends on the individual's perception of it.
Concept - Human spatial responses
The nature of the space encompasses 4 biophilic design patterns:
Stress level of user types
Gender : Male Age : 30
Average health started at 52 BPM at the resting rate.
Studies suggest psychosocial factors can cause negative chain reactions in the body, affecting stress levels of users based on daily working routines, including owners, office workers, interns, clients, family members, and visitors.
We measured their heart rate, resulting in BPM, which indicates the number of beats in one minute of the user's heart rate. This can help identify the stress level of the user in a given situation, room, or area.
The issue is that 90 percent of Bangkok's population lives in an environment that raises stress levels in the same building typology. This causes your stress level to skyrocket as soon as you walk out the door.
“4/14” is located on the boundary of the Sai Mai neighborhood and connects to the Thap Rak road near Sam Yod station. Within the area, there are many varieties of transport options.

The Lam Phak Chi basin with a panoramic view is located to the south of the site, and the Don Mueang Airport view is located to the north-west, which broadens the visitor's perspective.
Prospect
The design aims to provide users with a sense of safety and control, allowing them to visually survey and contemplate their surroundings, focusing on landscapes.
Refuge
The design offers a retreat condition, providing protection from behind and overhead, in a smaller, accessible space.
The bunker offers protection on three sides, and strategic placement influences the experience. The refuge also allows contact with the surrounding environment for surveillance. Mystery
The design incorporates risk, a controllable
attention, curiosity, and problem-solving skills, incorporating different degrees of risk on the transparent railing and floor plane.
Risk/Peril
The design incorporates risk, a controllable threat, to evoke attention, curiosity, and problem-solving skills, incorporating different degrees of risk on the transparent railing and floor plane.
The idea is to reach up into the sky and enlarge the visual environment above ground level. To reveal the space beneath, circular platforms are used and set out. With its characteristic of having no corners, the circle provides a location where one will never feel trapped. Large structural columns support a roof that cantilevers over the columbarium below and appears to hover above the natural ground level, offering visitors shelter.
Alignment is used extensively throughout the design to provide a sense of direction within the space.
The garden was planted with a variety of flowers, each with its own symbolism and meaning for life and joy. Different flowers are also chosen for their various bloom periods, creating an ever-changing crown of colors and fragrance with each passing season.
Metaphorically, humans are actually part of a large ecosystem—we are the "fruit" that grow on the "tree." The stream guides them to a patch of each transition, integrating parts of a whole with organized complexity. We are cultivating a garden and harvesting its productivity throughout the day.
"4/14" is the environment that fosters and supports our productivity and creativity. The construction of places where we can sit, relax, and replenish our mental and physical energy Also, how do we build exciting and stimulating areas where we can work, focus, mix, mingle, and cohabit, and finally, create fascinating spaces that we want to be in?
"4/14" depicts a world in which the normal laws of gravity do not apply. The architectural structure seems ideal for a community, with most of its inhabitants going about their ordinary business, such as working and commuting. There are paths and stairs leading to the destination.
