Implicating in Morphology: Roj Kanjanapanyakom Studies and Professional Practices Portfolio 2010

CURRICULUM VITAE

The impression I have on our career, an architect, is we are an object builder: the objects that are composition of our urban world. “Implicating in Morphology” is the words describe the direction I study and work in this career, inquiring to find the meaning in the objects we have built. I cannot deny that these built-environments are still lifeless objects, but I would like to define the meaning on it, to give the object alive in its context. I start my career with a small object design, a house design studio in A49. As a designer, I was obsessed in minimizing the forms to make the house that is humble and simple to understand. But, more important is; the house represents its owners’ life, it is the object that contains the stories. This is where I found that these lifeless objects might be able to transfer messages to the people and to its surroundings, perhaps. I am curious that, in our career, can we transfer these messages through the objects we build? Can we create the object, which has impacts to the wider surroundings? And yet, can we create an object as an intervention rather than a composition in our city? This set of questions led me through the process of a master study in urbanism at TU Delft. I let myself on the physical, and interpret deeper in the meaning of the objects that has impact on the urban development, or on the people. The new phase of my career life is just started, to balancing between architecture and urbanism and yet, to define implications in the morphology.

Metropolitan Informal Mobility

The final thesis booklet

The master thesis, the MIM, is an exploration on the development of the informal mobility in Bangkok (the motorcycle taxi and the micronode). I collect and summarized this exploration process of one-year study into a report booklet, which explains the result step-by-step. In order to portrait the research, design, and the implication of the intervention in mobility to the urban, the content can be divided in 4 parts;

1. Research and analysis on the city profile and its problems 2. The strategic design proposal on 6,000 micronodes in Bangkok 3. The scenarios visioning of the impact from the intervention to the future urban form 4. The urban planning scenarios on strategic locations

Design Strategy

The motorcycle taxi is a para-transport, which is widely used in Bangkok, mostly to get into the sub-streets that do not have public transport services. The motorcycle taxi operate in a micronode system, which gather motorcycles taxis waiting for passengers, now Bangkok has more than 6,000 micronodes around the city. My goal in this thesis is to improve the (informal) spatial condition of the micronodes and introduce the proposed mobility environments as a new public transport system in Bangkok. Furthermore, I want to experiment how these formalized 6,000 nodes of mobility have impacts on the urban dimension. Therefore, I tested by creating the scenario visioning the future of the urban planning of Bangkok and the urban design in the strategic locations to portrait the possible future from these interventions.

The design proposal

This project is an interpretation extended from the research/ analysis of the Den Haag 7 lijnen, a research work that define Den Haag city center by 7 streetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; characteristics. The process starts with the observation of the urban spaces and the relations of the functions of the 7 streets that tide the city center up in Den Haag. (Group working) I select the area around the new church to make an intervention project which aim to strengthen the urban structure of the city center by trigger the new connection from the station to the mixed-use area. I propose to renovate the buildings and the surroundings of the church rather than making another big plan for Den Haag. Den Haag will have Het Nieuwe Kerkplein as a cultural core and a connection to the multi-cultural city center.

ACADEMIC WORKS SSS (Perspective on the Landport area) (Group working) & Provincial Centrality of Eemmeer (Individual project) Program: Perspective Visioning, Regional Planning, Strategic Key-Projects Location: Landport area (Amsterdam-Almere-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;T Gooi), The Netherlands Type of work: Research by Design, Regional scale planning, Urban Planning & Design

The Perspective map of the Landport 2040

The new concept of provincial centrality, according to the perspective, will be the area of integration in; mobility node, working-living-liesure facilities, and green

The flexibility in terms of users and the response from the flexible building plans

The new collective facilities in the new provincial centrality concept

The SSS refers to Small Scale Solutions, which are working together to shape the future of the “landport area” (the area between Amsterdam, Almere, and ‘T Gooi). As a group, despite proposing the big scale development plans for the area, our interpretation in research and analysis results in small-scale intervention key (mixed-use) projects. Rather than aim for the urban action result from the project, we hope to see the reaction from these small-scale plans, which are more flexible. In the individual urban design for the key projects in the perspective, I propose a provincial centrality response to the new concept of lifestyle scenarios, which we proposed as a group working. The new concept of provincial centrality, according to the perspective, will be the area of integration in; mobility node, working-living-leisure facilities, and green.

DESIGN COMPETITION The New Parliament, Bangkok: Thailand Program: Parliament, Government Office, Public Facilities Location: Bangkok, Thailand Type of work: Architectural Design (Conceptual)

During the summer holiday of the first year in master study, I had a chance to joint the team consists of three persons for the design competition of a new parliament of Thailand. We propose the architectural design as well as the urban design concept with a literature interpretation from the first constitution law of Thailand. We interpret that, the lotus has been using as an implication of democratic symbol for Thaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society for a long time. And yet, we agree that the new parliament should represent the Thai style architecture in the contemporary context. Therefore, we tried to experiment the layout, the plan, and the form of our proposal with various applied forms of the lotus. From the 130 teams applicants, we were selected with the highest score to the final ten teams to present in front of the committee.

The conceptual form of the lotus was interpret in different dimensions of the design proposal

Roj Kanjanapanyakomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Portfolio II: Design Competition The New Parliament, Bangkok: Thailand

Despite representing in the meaning of democratic society, the new parliament should also have meanings in the urban dimension to Bangkok. Our proposal defines users of this building into groups and applied “soft edge” to welcoming the pedestrian visitors. The top of the new parliament will be the first observation tower of Bangkok.

PROFESSIONAL WORKS Hun-Sa House Program: Private Villa (700 sq.m.) Location: Bangkok, Thailand Type of work: Architectural Design, Detail Design

In 2008, we have got a chance to design a house for a famous sculpture artist in Thailand. We propose the design of a complex house program to be as simple as possible, humble as a background for the dynamic sculptures which displayed over the area. The result is the white house, which we tried to conceal in every component.

“Origami” Concept

Study of mass and form during the preliminary design

In 2007, I have an opportunity to join the design team for the housing development project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We want to present our housing compound with a set of clean and modern house style but looks relax, as they are located in the periphery of KL. The design team accepted the idea of “Origami” concept of unfolding forms, which implies to the contemporary working and living lifestyle in the megapolis-like city of KL.

PROFESSIONAL WORKS A Tree-Like House Program: Private Villa (400 sq.m.) Location: Chachoengsao, Thailand Type of work: Architectural Design, Detail Design, Master plan, Landscape Design (Conceptual)

The owner of this house has been involving in the timber trading business for a lifetime and would like to reflect the love of wood in the design concept of this house. We proposed with the idea of the whole master plan concept of a ”wood place” which has the house as a center, surrounded by a forest. Therefore, the house design concept was to make the house as a part of the surrounding and vice-versa. We developed the form of the house as a seed of the trees that growing on this land.
