COMMUNITY MALL ON EKKAMAI ROAD Ekkamai road is the part of Central Business District(CBD) in Bangkok, where most of community malls are strongly competing to impress customers. But, I noticed that appearances of buildings on this street they look just like typical giant billboards overlooking by people, not that outstanding. Thus, the concept of this community mall is “ALL IN ONE SCENE” where every single shops are seen by only one single look.

DEEP SOUTH Thailand southernmost area was the centre of Patani Kingdom where there were many valuable cultures, natural resources, and beautiful landscape. But, after the collapse of the Patani Kingdom, this area is unsafe because of a civil war and cultural conflicts between Thai and Melayu(local people) is one of the causes From historical studay, Thai and Melayu had been living in peace as one harmony for long time, they shared the same culture, living style, and way of life.But, once the time changed, people also changed, new generation lost where they come from. This museum is designed to remind the sense in everone’s memories, it might be one of solution for making peace in the area

TRAFFORD SITUATION In the 20th century, the city of Machester declined and deteriorated factory and housing that turns the city into slums amongst the derelict factories. However, in 21st century, the urban trend had changed, many derelict buildings are being reused and repurposed their original function to be sustianable for local and visitor. Trafford is an area of greater Manchester the location of Old Trafford stadium and Trafford Cricket Ground, which could promote tourism for the city. However, the situation of Trafford devalues its tourism potential. On prime time, the road was full of traffic jams, the tram carriage was overcrowed, parking lots narrowed public roads, many buildings are derelict which is not being used in full potential, demolished building waste occupied public land, and public green space is blocked by fencing. These show the current situation that Trafford is facing. Therefore, this should be the time to rethink Trafford to promote the district with its tourism potential.

SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY FOR TRAFFORD What is sustainable strategy for Trafford? Waiting for public fund which may not be provided by the government or councils to start the healing project for Trafford seems to be hopeless. Locals can enhance their communities by their own resources. The resource that can be answer is the use of tourism potential in Trafford. Old Trafford is the main destination that welcome daily tourists who are global football fans. Tourists travel to Trafford want to attend Manchester United FC and Cricket matches and visit the stadiums but it seems that it is only one destination which attracts tourists. Locals can use this potential of football fans to increase their locals tourist attraction to welcome people to tour around Trafford rather than just visit Old Trafford and leave. This will rise locals’income and they can use them to make their sustainable communities. Where is new tourist destination(s)? Looking through the potential of Bridgewater canal network which links to 3 valuable places (1. Pomona Island, 2. Old Trafford, and 3. Stretford) that have tourism potential to create more destinations for tourism along canal corridor, which run in parallel with A56 corridor.

REPURPOSING OIL PLATFORM A few decades ago, over 8000 oil and oilgas platfroms around the world have gradually been dismantled to free the seas from the strong pollution they cause. However, One of the biggest problems caused by the dismantling of these structures is the costs. Recent studies have validated that a re-use and redevelopment are much cheaper than a completely new construction. It is partly even more economical in reference to the resale of disassembled parts. So, why do not we repurpose derelict oil platform? The Pinpoint of Adriatic Sea presents architectural repurposed strategies to renovate the oil platforms, “Cervia A” and “Cervia B”, to be a tourist welcome port, a marine museum, and administratives residential units based on the key concept of “Sustainable Ecotourism”.

HOUSE RENOVATION The owner has lived in a house for more than a decade and then he decided to buy a house next to his to be ready for family expansion in the future. The concept of this renovation is “two become one”, these two houses should be connected by a common area. Garages are grouped into one in order to increase car parking space and the old garage was replaced by a courtyard.
