SPLASHING SPLIT Project Type Fall Option Studio / Individual Site Split, Croatia Advisor Saša Begović, Gesa Büttner Dias Year 2019
One of the unique characters of Split is that the water culture is intertwined with the urban infrastructure. The ancient aqueduct brings the water into the city since the Roman era while the water cisterns store the rainwater for community and domestic uses. In the contemporary context, the visible street gutter is designed as part of the city. The water culture is embedded in everyday’s life of Croatian for centuries. Roman bath is not just a public bath, but also the social activities bringing people together. The line drying at the terrace is another evidence of water activities at every corner in Split. The water tower is proposed concerning the drought vulnerability and the freshwater accessibility on the worldwide scale altogether with the cultural and infrastructural aspects. The sexy curvy tower would insert in-between 4-meter wide vertical circulation juxtaposed with the brutalist mixed-use building. In search of the form, an organic shape would be the best fit since the water has no static form. Each of water activities is attached to the filtration core process, starting from non-contact to the drinking fountain tying cultural notions with the infrastructure. Furthermore, in the dry season, these public platforms could turn into the communal living room for residents and the public. This project, in the end, would not serve only as a new source of freshwater but also bring the happy water moment back to Split and celebrate the presence of water as part of Croatian life.

LIBRARY OF ILLUSIONS Project Type Fall Option Studio / Individual Advisor Ruben Alcolea Year 2018
“Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know what the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.� Albert Einstein - a letter to the family of his good friend, Michele Besso
The studio is an experimental exploration of the visual perception, used as a tool to define high speculative architecture space. The aim is to move beyond the only-physical condition of architecture or its specific time frame or site location, in order to examine an open field od discursive possibilities that emerge by engaging with mixed realities, fully abstract spaces and by incorporating more perceptive elements far beyond the vision.

A DEFINITION OF BOOKS What makes the book valuable and worth to put an effort to keep it in an archive? A book is just another physical object, a container, which contains the content inside. It is not only the beauty of the physical container, but it is also the transfer of information, the sharing of ideas and the exploration of possibilities that is the real treasure.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE THOROUGHFARE Project Type Summer Studio / Group Work Site 64th - 82nd Park Avenue, New York City Advisor NHDM : Nahyun Hwang David Eugin Moon Team Binhan Tang Chen Shen Maitai Kunawong Shixuan Sun Year 2018
Investigating the seemingly benign but potent architecture of and around urban arterial roads. The aim is to seek the possibility of an architecture that actively challenges the construct of pure utility, through a thorough morphological and programmatic investigation of the existing and transformed conditions. Taking advantage of the infinite programmatic and demographic complexity of Park Avenue, the studio utilizes the thoroughfare and its extended territories as a subject of investigation and a testing ground.
ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION CITY Previously known as Local Law 11, the New York City Department of Buildings (NVCOB) Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) requires that owners of the buildings greater than six stories retain a professional engineer or registered architect to examine the building’s exterior walls every five years, and submit a facade report. The overriding goal of FISP is to ensure that building facade is maintained regularly and properly to reduce the risk of fallingdebris hazard to the public.

Project Type Summer Studio / Group Work Site Roosevelt Island, New York City Advisor Tei Carpenter Jesse LeCavalier Team Maitai Kunawong Shixuan Sun Su Yeon Chi Xiaotong Wang Yang Yang Year 2018
Within an expanded understanding of ecology, what are the architectural and infrastructural possibilities that emerge from the close examination of intersecting systems of waste and energy? How might we harness, redirect, or otherwise engage the metabolic processes within these systems? Our interest here is specifically in the waste and infrastructure systems that are part of the ecology of the city. As these intertwined systems encounter each other, opportunities emerge as conflicts are negotiated, leading in turn to a more nimble and opportunistic design approach.
WASTE TO ENERGY PROCESS The project is considered the logistics of waste from the beginning as input from residential and commercial buildings to the output as electricity in relation to the city context and the site, Roosevelt Island.

LEISURE PLEASURE The leisure, which is opening to the public, is intertwined with the infrastructural system. The loop of water, gas, and the variation of water temperature designate the activities. For example, Sauna and spa room uses the heat and steam generated by the combustion process while a vegetable farm consumes the Carbon Dioxide created by the combustion.
RETHINKING TIMBER SYSTEM Project Type Group Work Advisor Katharina Kral Team Maitai Kunawong Su Yeon Chi Year 2018
The project challenges the use of wood in large-scale construction. The low-rise wood construction building is picked as a precedent to study the load-bearing behavior and performative qualities of the employed wood joints. In this case, Thorncrown Chapel, designed by E. Fay Jones, is used as a precedent. Moving forward from the precedent, a 6-story-experimented timber structure has been developed through hands-on experiments with physical models as well as structural performance modeling tools. From a two-dimensional arrangement of frames from the precedent building, frames are arranged in perpendicular to form the three-dimensional space. The modular system, allows the building to grow and shrink according to the need of different space and activities. The variation of the frame’s dimension is designed by the data analyzed from Karamba3d. Frames in the top part, for instance, has a smaller cross-section than frames at the base.

EMBODYING THE TALE Project Type Thesis (B.Arch) / Individual Site Archaeological Site Lampang, Thailand Advisor Waricha Wongphyat Year 2015
The thesis project raises the issue of the dichotomy between scientific explanation of earth formation and the mysticism of local belief in earth’s beginning. While the earth is thought to form from a vast gas and dust cloud according to the Big Bang theory, Lanna people have their own version of story passing down from generation to generation. It is known as “Pathamamulami”. Surprisingly, there are some correlation between those two ways of thinking. The project explored those similarities and uniqueness and interpreted them to architectural spaces. The process of choosing the site for the program, the geological museum, concerned the aspect that the site itself could be a learning platform and a tool to narrate the story of the earth itself. At the end, the site is chosen to be at the foot of the hill which once used to be the phophaste mining pit. In addition, in 1998, parts of 500,000-year-old-human skull had been discovered. It is believed to connect the missing link of Homo Erectus from Beijing to Chava. However, the discovery is a controversial issue with little credible scientific evidence. The use of contradiction to create curiousity is the main concept of the exhibition in the museum. The exhibition provides evidence and facts about the discovery to ignite a spirit of inquiries at the end.
FROM MACRO TO MICRO The process of choosing the site considers the correlation of the nature of the project, which is the geological museum, and the background stories of the place. The site of the project has outstanding characters: a history of mining, the contradiction in anthropology discovery and the topology of the site itself.

THE BREATHABLE WALL Dinkor tile is a type of earthenware, claybased unglazed ceramic. It is mostly used for a roof of Lanna local temples. The dynamic process of aging creates uniquesness and a trace of time. A breathable wall challeges the possibiltiy of the earthenware roof material, Dinkor tile. The tile is flipped in different angles, which allows the light and wind to pass through, according to the need of activities and function inside.

Project Type 3rd-year-Studio Project / Individual Site Abandonned area Cha-choeng-sao, Thailand Advisor Bundit Chulasai Year 2013
The neighborhood community is the revitalization of an abandoned area in Cha-Choeng-Sao, Thailand that once used to be a lively market. In former time, the market was an important tole in communities, but as time goes by, local people moved out to work in the capital city and local town becomes lifeless. Reviving the neighborhood community and bring life back to the community are the objective of the project. A community learning center is created as part of the program to enhance the strong relationship between local people and the new market. The old market structure has been kept to be integrated to a new design. All buildings are connected by the gridpatterned brise-soleil which merges with the structural grid of the existing structure where past is connected to present. Existing material was reused, in a new context as part of walls and brise-soleil establishing a unique character of the new market.

Project Type Individual Project Site Thailand Year 2015
Home is so sad. It stays as it was left, Shaped to the comfort of the last to go As if to win them back. Instead, bereft Of anyone to please, it withers so, Having no heart to put aside the theft And turn again to what it started as, A joyous shot at how things ought to be, Long fallen wide. You can see how it was: Look at the pictures and the cutlery. The music in the piano stool. That vase. Philip Larkin (1922-1985) The poet explores the notion of home when that home is left empty, when “the heart” is removed from it, when it has lost what even makes it “home”. What makes house “home” and a place that human is emotionally attached is the relationship of people inside -- “a family”. A house, in my opinion, would be a place for supporting the love connection, but at the same time, the conflict between members. The house provides a space for spending time on weekends together, together with, the private space to stay with ourselves.

Art and architecture have a deep connection. The projects interprets the fresco painting, the Creation of Adam -- by Michelangelo, to an architectural element. The characteristics of the painting are turned into the materials and structures. The tension between near-touching hands of God and Adam challenges a typical form of the stairs. Two parts of the stairs are close enough to step but not touch each other. From swaying to sturdy steps, life passes through from god to all humanity.

Consultant Surbana Jurong Pte., Ltd. Contribution Research, Design Assistant, Architectural and Engineering Diagram, Rendering&Presen tation, Project Coordinator Year 2016-2017 H.I.P. Smart City Project is created in response to Thailand 4.0 Policy and Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Development Programme. The H.I.P. Smart City’s functional concept is to support Thailand’s transformation towards a creativity and value based economy, thus leading to an increase in GDP income per capita from a middle to high level and a decrease in economic and social inequality. H.I.P. Smart City is located in Huai Yai, Bang Lamung, Chonburi province. Besides from being the center of EEC development area: Chonburi, Rayong, and Cha-ChoengSao, the city is also the heart of industrial nodes: LaemChabang Industrial Estate, Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate and Map-Ta-Put Industrial Estate. The education around the area consists of three potential universities and six vocational schools. Moreover, the city is only 20km far from Pattaya, the world-class recreational and tourism spot. With the supporting from multiple modes of transportation connecting with regional trades: motorway route 7, double-tracked railway, ports, international U-tapao airport and future high-speed train development, the city is full of potential to connect all these nodes and complete the region as a whole piece of regional development.
