INTRO “Growth� has many meanings in itself. It could mean the spreading and branching of the plants. It could mean the enlargement of scales in the city. It could be used when a person gets taller.

Or it could mean nothing physical, such as the growth of a mind and professional skills.

This portfoilio means to present growth: from tales to two dimensional to real life, form small to large, and from my growth that intertwines within each design.

I hope that you could feel the growth and want be the part of my growth, as I can and am willing to be the part of yours.

TALES TELL PHOTOGRAPHS

SUPPAK+

SUPPAK+ Creativity is a very subjective matter, and it is hard to find out what is the key to acquire such quality. I believe one of the way is too see a lot, and make the most of what you see.

The world is rich in textures and cultures, in topography and in the spirit that makes each place the way it is. Seeing the world as much as you can will add depth and strenght in your sense of creativity.

Once there are chances, I get up and see the world to record, to sense, to feel, and to enrich my creativity with my own eyes, and my own soul.

Sketches Bangkok, Thailand

TALES TELL SKETCHES

SUPPAK+

SUPPAK+ During 2005-2007, I studied in a school of comic design along with attending my high school.

In the school, they did not only teach the students how to ‘record what things are’ as in art school, but they taught us to ‘twist the reality to the way we precieve it.’ Perspectives and anatomies were flexible and loose, yet had to be cohesive and expressive.

What I gain from the school are these sketches, and the way to tell the stories through eyes. To capture the liveliness of the scene from reality. To send a statement message to the viewer without telling them.

TALES TELL STORIES

SUPPAK+

SUPPAK+ These images are the compilation of the graduating project I had from the comic school I attended. This project, ‘Huajai Kaijeaw’ (Asian omelette,) is a short story published in Thailand under the studio called ‘WestStudio.’

Basically, it is the sequence of images and texts, one after another, to convey a statement about the appreciation of simplicity.

Just like comic artists, landscape architects try to convey message throughout drawings, texts, and presentation. We decide what to reveal first, what the heirachy is, and where the solution lies.

Tum Suppak FALL 2009

SUPPAK+ Analysis is an important part of landscape design. It is the part that we can state the problem and plan for the solution. Without analytical base for a design, the work may come out pretty, but it would not address the solution the design is seeking for.

Neighborhood Retrofit is the 40 page image-text essay I wrote in response of a class assignment, where we seeked for our history, our dream, and our reality to address the queries and the answers.

In the last phase of this activity, we took a step back to reflect the designs we have done in our past years, analyse them properly as well as embrace the power of analysis.

SUPPAK+ Even though the scale of landscape architects varies, one of the most common scale is residential.

This residential design project took place in Champaign, where we met the client, sit down, and discuss what he wants for his home landscape. Our client needed the garden that was easy-installed, quick, friendly, and made his backyard look larger than it was.

I have a chance to try the game TheSims3 to cooperate into the process of design. It was a fun and interactive experience that helped me to visualize the space and the movement inside of it.

SUPPAK+ I had a 2009 summer internship in Thailand with Supalai co., Thailand. It was a multi-discipline development company that built many condominiums as well as single family detached communities in many places throughout Thailand.

In the project, I was assigned to design the landscape details for a condominium in Phuket Island named “CityHome Phuket�. My first task was to study about the architectural history in Phuket along with construction processes.

The booklet shown is the compilation reflecting the knowledge I acquired from the project.

SUPPAK+ Phuket was a growing city.

Besides the beach areas, the green spaces were slowly taken away.

Supalai co. decided to offer more green community space to the community with a rooftop garden that have an overlook toward the sea.

Recieving the baseplan from the architect, I used G-Star ICAD, a freeware equivalent to AutoCAD to design base on the climate and theme of the company.

This design was under a supervision of Mr. Chumpol Chayachok, the chief of Landscape Architecture Department.

CityHome parkings Phuket, Thailand

DESIGN FORMS HOMES

SUPPAK+

SUPPAK+ In a limited space, each area should be considered vital and in need for green space.

This is the design for the ground space of CityHome Phuket.

The challenge was to try to have as much as parking space as possible, yet it had to have as much green space to cooldown the effect of pavement.

I worked with professional architects to optimize the space.

The turfblock on the parking area would eliminate some of the paving effect, and the trees around the property line would create a feeling of extend as well as to cool the 110 degree sun down quite a little Next to the building there was also a small walk area, children play space, and swimming pool to accommodate the residences’ desire

Neighborhood park is the center of each neighborhood. The children come to play, and the adults come to interact with each other.

King Park is a park in Urbana, next to a school and in the middle of the neighborhood that includes faculty, working parents, factory workers, and college students. The cultural texture of it is very rich in variety.

We, as a team of landscape architects, were assigned to analyse the site so that we could respond the needs of this community toward the design.

I was responsible for graphic designing of the boards and diagrams to make sure it sent the message that we wanted to.

SUPPAK+ After the team analysis, we parted to come up with our individual design for King Park.

The design agenda we concluded from the analysis was to create ‘the beloved community.’ to represent Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream.

The park was divided into three zone. The first part that connects to a busy street became a plaza and play area. The second part accomodated passive recreation, and the third part were prepared for fun and active learningplaying activities.

This way, people from the neighborhood could come together, play together, and bond together to form the ‘beloved community’

SUPPAK+ In Champaign, IL, there once was a place called ‘Mumford House.’ It was a designed farmhouse to express the agricultural technologies that were very advance in its time frame.

Our client wanted to create this similar educational-experimental place, in his own residence.

The project was called ‘ProtoFarm.’

The 19 acre land was designed into the space for tree farm, pomology farm, bee habitat, and fish living area. It also supported the wonderful living experience such as the broadwalk, the meditation hut and the camping ground.

I learned a lot from designing this site how the agriculture had been done, and how it is going to be.

Instead of having a deep memorial tone, I depicted the athleticity of Brent to shine through this memorial park. The park has many activities spreading around 6 acre including jogging, playing, skating, barbeque and walking meander.

Brent Johnson Park was meant to keep the community moving forward, to make them grow, active, and happy in everyday of their lives.

We set up our sustainability goals as well as envisioning future. How would people think, react, or embrace to resilient land, how would the energy form be, and what would be the factor to create a desirable community.

It came from a team member idea of growing local food in front of the megastores and to optimizing the space that we already have.

We came up with the lamppost idea for location. The lights had to be in its place because of its function. For the irrigation solution, we used the water runoff from a parking lot to water plants.

Beyond now, we looked over one step in future to see what can grow out of our potential.
