Thailand Wind Technology and Energy Institution Landscape Design Thesis 2020 Year : 2020
Every day human are emitting more and more CO2 into the atmosphere which is inevitably related to and energy production up to 73.2 percent of all the CO2 emissions. Thailand Wind Technology and Energy Institution ,located in the area of Ao Khanom Subdistrict, Khanom District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, is a pilot project to study the conflict design of alternative energy production together with landscape design. Also to create an area for studying, researching, learning, producing, and developing wind energy technology to match the condition of Thailand. As well as a learning center and an educational resource about alternative energy for people.
The Energy and Alternative Every day human are emitting more and more Co2 into the atmosphere which is inevitably related to and energy production up to 73.2 percent of all the Co2 emissions. In addition, human are extremely tend to increase the energy consumption rate, while fossil fuel, which is the main source of depleting energy is gradually runs out. This has made many countries around the world turn their attention to alternative energy that solves both the problems of the increasing energy consumption and the co2 emissions from energy production. There has been a lot of participation in the drafting of international treaties and technological developments. For example, there has been an attempt to shift the share of energy from alternative energy globally from 24 percent to 84 percent by 2050

Site Analysis In part of the Criteria, The aspect of design considerations is the suitability of wind speeds for space usage. Including wind power generation and the design of the vegetation that changed the effect of the wind. In part of Site Analysis, including the accessibilities, topography, landscape structure, geology, hydrology and wind speed and direction we can summarize it as Site Summary and translated to the site summary which informs the zoning in the design.

The Campus By analyzing the contents of the site and winds, creating a wind-based line that can be divided into weaker winds and stronger winds. Combined with a Grid that Aligns with Surrounding Context, created the Masterplan. In the Masterplan, when entering, you will find the energy production area that is situated next to the Campus core area. On the opposite side across the road are the campus’s residential and public areas for learning. The part that adjacent to the sea and the gorge is the part for wind energy experiments and future expansion

The Education and Energy The first detail part is called Education and energy. It consists of programs related to administrative building education building and various energy landscapes. The planting design was to use trees in a group of evergreen forests, including the use of Jacaranda mimosifolia trees as a line in the area of the school building reflecting the identity of Songkhla University which is the host of the project. The corridors are designed to connect the building and to increase interaction and continuity in use. Each building has a water management consideration. With a green roof design that can support the installation of solar panels as well.
The Living In the second detail part, the residential area. The overall design of the area is to divide the hardscape and soft scape areas in a balanced way. Also balancing the activities both indoor and outdoor. Material selection and the vegetation design are similar to the first detail part but selected the plants that give more shade in the area between the buildings. The building has a green roof and can generate energy from sunlight as well
The Learning The 3rd part are the area of learning activities and public areas. The area design takes into account the prevailing wind blowing, with an open area in the middle where the wind can be fully-blown. The materials is also designed to have a gradient of use of high-natural materials down to synthetic materials in the depths of space.
Otter Sanctuary Landscape Design Studio 5 Year : 2020
This project aims to revitalized the relationship between the human and otter community.In the present, the city expansion and rising population in Bangkok bring about gradually diminishing nature, Especially it directly affects animal extinction. The study area Bang Khun Thian is adjacent to the sea and the only place where we can gound river otters, recognized as an environmental indicator.There are four species of otters in Thailand and there of them are critically endangered. So we created a strategy comprising s three-step process to achieve a co-living environment where humans and otters can live together.
In Collaboration with : Natdanai Tumpanuwat , Passakorn Kasipol
The Story Life on Earth is in the throes of a new wave of mass extinction, unlike anything since the demise of the dinosaurs. In the last 500 years, 844 species are known to have died out, and up to 16,000 others are now known to be threatened. Similarly,Bangkok With the enormous increase in the rate of extinction of animals, should we really be aware of this issue?

In 1984, in the Bang Khun Thian area, the city’s expansion began from thetop of the area, spreading from the central Bangkok area, and there aquaculture because Bang Khun Thian was near the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. And by being attached to the coastal areas, the lower part o has a mangrove and wetland ecosystem.
In 2020, in the Bang Khun Thian area there was a huge urban distribution. Which the area that has become urban already occupies almost ha of Bang Khun Thian And the original ecosystems, which were wetlands and mangroves, were almost completely transformed into aquacultu causing the otter habitation to disappear and causing a lot of problems.
The Structure of Bangkok Mangrove The Bang Khun thian is a single tropical area of Bangkok, adjacent to the coastal areas, and still has riparian and mangroves.Nowadays, the area of Bang Khun Thian has changed considerably due to the impact of urbanization and population growth. This causes nature to be invaded gradually and the ecosystem deteriorates, which can be observed roughly through otters that top predator of food chain. For example, otters do not have an area for their livelihood, they must eat more fish in aquaculture. Causing Conflict between man and otter
Problem, Goal and Project Outline The wildlife population problem in Bangkok In particular, the decline of otter comprises a variety of factors, and we found that these problems could be grouped into three categories. To resolve these problems we created a strategy comprising a three-step process to achieve a co-living environment where humans and otters can live together. Also, this diagram is showing the projects could be realized through the participation of the Bangkok authority, local communities, and social organizations such as MAP and IOSF

School is one of the most fundamental public facilities that every city provided. As the regulations say that there must be at least one public school in the area of 8km radius. Therefore, the school is distributed to the city everywhere. The school is not only just a place for providing knowledge and education, but also connecting the locals together

Since the city is developed and gradually grow due to the economics conditions, human’s behavior changes accordingly. We no longer greet anyone walk passes us by on the street. We do not even know people in our neighborhood. Social responsibility slowly decreasing while the price of the assets exponentially increased. However, it is not to blame human habits at all, yet it probably is the natural reaction to survive the condition. Just like animal change their behavior to adapt to the nature. If the city is provided “Public” space that everyone in the neighborhood can share. Everyone in the area that owns a land shares ownership. Everyone will share responsibility and sense of maintaining this very owned public space. This provided public space, like seeds sow into the city, can be changed and modified to suffice the preferences of the users in the area. This quality of being an owner of the area, create sense of ownership to the city, making people feels that they really are parts of the city and has power to do something. By providing such public space into the city, reduce the atmosphere of “Metropolis” and create more feelings of “Neighborhood” that everyone gathers to share ideas to develop and solve problems. Nobody can be closer to the problem than the people living in the specific area. Discussing problems by citizen in the area can be more direct and useful.
Urban Green screen ASA Internation Competition Shortlisted Year : 2019 The city today consists of many architectural and urban structures that affect the city, the world and the lives of the people in the city. But many of those structures are often destructive to the sustainability of the environment, cities and the world, giving just the economic value or the benefits of any society in one specific point, regardless of other consequences.and if we can make many of these urban structures able to benefit the city by providing sustainability benefits in both of Economical, Ecological and Social Term ? Advertising banner or Billboard are ones of Urban Structure that exists in many cities especially. The Metropolis like Bangkok, which currently has 1076 such urban structures, which consume a lot of space in the city and tends to increase every year. With no benefit to the city area except in terms of economic only. This project focuses on making the existing structures like Advertising banners to be the sustainable structure for the city by adding function to providing benefits both in the social, economic and environment in a sustainable manner.

Makkasan Co-Operation Urban Park Landscape Design Studio 4 Program 1 Year : 2019
The Makkasan green is a large piece of green space existed in the heart of Bangkok, which has a strong history, culture and community, as it is the largest railway repair center in Thailand since before the World War II. However, at present, the Makkasan area has had conflicts in area development since Thai Railway department sales the pieces of the area to solve financial problems. This project has assigned students to purpose the idea of developing the area into a public space that can respond to various contexts of the city. Including solving the problems of the space conflicts in the way that each student chooses to present
Due to various contexts, the area has the potential to develop a variety of possible types of parks and should consider the participation of the surrounding context. So that the area should be a green area, that can bring benefits to the three main contexts of the city and area: people, environment, and city through participation in each type of activity by 3 main design processes
Selected Program
Renovate Improve the use of the existing structure to facilitate the participation of all 3 types of context by creating new activities, distributing and integrating the use of space Restore Restore the history and heritage culture of the Makkasan train depot area gives a distinctive return to life as well as restoring the environment within the area to be a green area that benefits people, cities and a more environment rich. Reconnect Create connections between areas that are separated from each other. The connection of the infrastructure of the area, such as water areas at both the district scale and urban scale.
