PHANITARAM TEMPLE
YEAR 2013
LOCATION Bann Pho, Chachengsao, Thailand AREA 81900 sq.m.
Dhamma is a common nature.
The concept of landscape design project "Phanitaram temple".The project presented the old temple in the suburb riverside area that has located adjacent to the shrimp farms, paddy fields and the Bangpakong river in Chachensao, Thailand. Originally marshland and mangrove forest, the site has been supporting religion since 1863.
Design concept is revival the site to common nature, marshland that has had problems about erosion control because the wave of the Bangpakong river and water shortage from the side effect of shrimp farms that make the water in the reservoir becomes saltwater and chemical contaminated. Therefore, Users can't use the water for consumption, everyday life.
Design concept concerns 7 issues, Firstly, reconnects the site to the river by mangrove forest for protects erosion by nature, erosion control by "Bamboo line" and remake the ecology back to site. Secondly, The temple needs the reservoirs contain the runoff water from swales and for everyday life. Thirdly, design try to increase the pervious pavement is a specially designed pavement system that allows water to infiltrate through the pavement and never become runoff. Fourthly, Designed to promote the Dhamma practice by creating space for the connection between the church and the stone arched pavilions by promoting spiritual development. The fifth, use local plants that adapt to saltwater. The Sixth, Change the accessibility from the road to created the zoning of public and private spaces. Finally, Emphasize the importance of access to space by landscape churches and architectural conservation area. By providing a relationship with nature.
The characteristics of pavement surface involve with degree infiltration of water. Due to,effectively in Run off unequal resources, rain water is vital to the project. It is necessary to collect rainwater as much as possible. The study found that the amount of water runoff in September, with the most up to 8539 cubic meters in March, May and October.
Due to,Runoff is sufficient to support the implementation of the measure. Both residents and visitors of the work which is fairly average 270 people per month, with demand for water in 1620 cubic meters per month, and need to store water for the dry season is from May to November.Therefore, it is necessary to consider the design of a system or method for storing fresh water usage as much as possible.
Keep runoff from the roads.

The bamboo line helped reduce the impact of waves ,prevents erosion and increase sedimentation of soil. It is bamboo stick three models. By the third extends into the river about 8 meters using bamboo rod length of about 10 meters, buried into the soil depth of about three feet planted apart, a distance of about one meter, the second pin is approximately 0.50 meters along the 0.20 m . the brackish water ecosystem restoration By promoting the dynamic brought back as part of the area. Because brackish water ecosystems influenced the rise and fall of the river, so as to be a hotbed such as shellfish and aquatic nursery fish, shrimp and white fish fauna native province By using the temple as an non-hunting area. Finally, help increase the diversity of the ecosystem to come back again.
