PREFACE
This portfolio is a collection of architectural design projects from when I studied at the faculty of Architecture and Planning at Thammasat University from 2016-2018. Out of all the completed projects, I selected five to display various working skills, such a site analysis, programming, conceptual design, processing design, and final production: Drawing, Diagram, 3D perspective and model.

KHAOJAI MUSEUM
RICE MUSEUM AND RESEARCH CENTER This project is located in the town of Thannyaburi, which is in the Phatumthani province in central Thailand. This province, Phatumthani, is the rice research center. In order to pick the content of the museum, I did some research on rice in Thailand, and decided to choose content about the rice cycle process in Thailand. I divided the rice cycle into four sections: before planting, during planting, the yield, and the harvesting season. There are many traditions and beliefs that people in Thailand have about each section of the rice cycle. These beliefs are centered on the relationship between rice and people. This museum will teach about the rice cycle, and will explain how the connection between rice and people makes Thailand a ‘country of rice.’
CONTENT DIAGRAM
Power Of Nature
There is a longtime connection between humans and rice. In the past, people were dependent on agriculture, so they believed in the power of nature because nature could control their lives In This Section : Shows the various forms of nature.
Royal Rice Ceremony
People created a basic faith from nature. They turned the elements of nature into more concrete figures. Earth was called “Phra Mae thorani” (Mother of Land), Water was called “Phra Mae Kong-Ka” (Mother of Water), and Rice was called “Phra Mae Pohsob” (Mother of Rice). People respected and worshipped Earth, Water, and Rice to bring good fortune to their rice fields. In this section : Shows the royal ploughing ceremony which announced to the people the start of the rice planting season each year. Traditions in 12 Months

SRI CHAREON BOAT HOUSE
AYUTHAYA BOAT HOUSE ACADEMY Sri Charoen Boat House Academy is an old boat house in Ayutthaya. The main purpose of this project is to renovate this area to become a Thai architectural conservation site. This area consists of a school for people who want to learn about how to make boats, a museum where visitors can learn about the history of Thai boats, and homestays for tourists to want to experience the old Thai lifestyle.

Sri Chareon is located near the Chao Phraya River in Ayutthaya City, Ayutthaya. To the north is Phranancheon Temple. To the south is Baan Hollanda. There are two ways to get here: by driving from Khsan Rua Alley in front of the site or by boat from the Chao Phraya River.
CONCEPT DESIGN The concept of this project is “Thainess.� Elements were chosen from Thai architecture and then rearranged and transformed to create a new architectural language. After that, the building was constructed and this new building style became a type of Thai architecture.
REON LOM CHAN Reon Lom Chan is a building style where all the buildings are built around a terrace. This is a traditional Thai space design. Sri Chareon Boat House Academic is located at Phranakorn Sri Ayutthaya, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. I designed this building using Thai elements to represent Thai identity.
BUILDING OREINTATION The climate of Thailand influences the orientation of the buildings. The gabled roofs of the buildings face the river to make the functions inside the buildings easy to see and to make the meaning of each building consistent with the others. Consistent architectural designs show people that these buildings go together.
GABLE LANGUAGE (Meanings of Different Gable Roofs) CHAN
Shows the various types of gabled roofs, which represent different functions for each building.

THE SPLIT SILOM
OFFICE FOR RENT BUILDING This building is an office space for rent, located in Silom Bangkok, the old Central Business District (CBD) of Bangkok. In this area, there are many office buildings, but they are all old buildings. I designed a new type of office building to support the new lifestyle of workers and to attract a new generation of people to come back and start businesses in this CBD area again.
Today, office buildings were moved to the new CBD, which turned Silom into the old CBD. There are no new buildings in this area, therefore, the new buildings have to be new designs to complement new lifestyles.
Tradditional Office
New Type Office
The traditional form of working is a ‘workstation.’ Everyone works at their own table. There is minimal participation or interaction.
Technology becomes part of the workplace. Everyone can work anywhere, not just as their own tables. They have more flexibility in the workplace.
CONCEPT DESIGN : SPLIT COMMON The lifestyle of workers is changing, therefore work spaces are also changing. I designed the new space to support a new office design called the ‘common space.’ The common space is an area of the office where people can work together and hang out together. I divided the common space into three parts: the split space, the green area, and the retail area.
Free Plan
Green Area
Reatail
Using the main area, I set up the free plan office and split common space so that workers can choose where they want to work.
Added a green area as a space for workers to be able to relax and to enjoy a nice view.
Allocated retail section to support workers who are working in this building. This section adds more value to this real estate.
CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAM

Divided into three zones, following the different concepts.
Turned the middle zone into an outdoor space, with the low and high zones as indoor spaces.

ZONNING DIAGRAM Set the core of the building near the Silom Complex, seeing as that side doesn’t have a good view. Set the car park near Saladang 2 Road (near the back of the site), because it can support parking and traffic. In the front of the building, the lobby is open with retail supplies to catch people’s eye and draw them into the building as they walk past. Split the building to create the different spaces.
The outdoor space connects to the common space, and adds good flow ventilation. Core New Type

TRILOKYA MUSEUM
