Mega FoodWalk 2017 Emersive Commercial Landscape

Project Narrative Mega FoodWalk is the collaborative design of an enjoyable landscape atrium, relaxing amphitheater, and experiential boardwalk. Within Mega Bangna shopping complex located in the suburbs of southern Bangkok, this extended semi-outdoor food & beverage expansion is designed to create a comfortable microclimate and immersive experience by innovatively incorporating multiple active & passive cooling strategies harmoniously within interactive and tectonic landscape features.

The expansion zone represents a marrying of different disciplines to create a unique commercial experience that engages at nearly every corner and path. A unique experience that was created through a truly collective design effort of different disciplines and shared vision with the consultants and the client.

building. The open space is comprised of a split-floor between the ground level and level one above by a 5.5 meter difference in elevation - a challenging issue of providing optimal circulation for the landscape design.

Context In Bangkok’s hot-humid climate, with temperatures reaching 88-95°F (31-35°C) year round and people seeking shade to stay away from the sweltering sunlight, achieving the optimal human comfort zone microclimate in outdoor spaces is difficult and challenging to design comfortable outdoor spaces that would attract people more inclined to seek air-conditioned indoor spaces. The architecture design & layout approaches this issue by establishing a 3-storey building around a semi-outdoor courtyard, filtering direct sunlight with an expansive skylight roof cover, while deliberately creating openings to promote passive cooling from prevailing winds. The courtyard serves as a focal point and main landscape space located at the heart of the helical-circulating

Design Intentions With collaborative efforts of a multidisciplinary team, the landscape architects envisioned the landscape’s roles in this commercial context as an infrastructure for cultural appreciation, comfortable microclimate, and fertile environment for the softscape to flourish. The intention of the design for the landscape centerpiece of the helicalcirculating, universal atrium is to create an immersive, experiential pathway with free-flowing linkages that brings visitors to their destinations conveniently through a captivating atmosphere. In order to create a comfortable and attractive landscape space for the visitors, the landscape architect’s goal is to consolidate innovative design solutions that disguisedly blend with the landscape features.

Client’s Goals The design intention was driven by the client’s, SF Development, vision for Megabangna to be a familyoriented and universal commercial development where every family member can enjoy themselves both together or individually. It is also their goal that all tenants have adequate distribution of visitor traffic for economic sustainability. On top of that, as a shopping complex for everyone, the landscape courtyard must be a universal design, the atmosphere must be delightful, and the design must be appreciated by people of all ages.

Cultural Landscape Appreciation User-based landscape design creates a new way to experience both landscape and shops that are located at different levels. The lower level is dropped to create a sunken plaza space for numerous events yearround. Amphitheater seating with genuine wood finish provides cozy spectator seating throughout the day and night, but more importantly serves as generous crowd access to the lower level plaza from the higher main entrance level of the mall. The pathways are friendly to all users with gentle slopes that are handicap accessible. The experiential boardwalk that floats above the water features and traverses through the forest green, is intersected by crossing granite stone pathways and giant slate slabs stacked to display the contrast in form and color of refined and unrefined material. The landscape design is a very interactive and experiential space that encourages visitors to be in contact with its material design. A major highlight of interactive design can be seen with the water levers made of stainless steel. The handles of the levers were deliberately designed for users to feel the cool rush of water carried through the thermal conductive pipes.

Achieving Comfortable Microclimate The microclimate within Mega FoodWalk is controlled by the integration of landscape design and innovative engineering solutions resulting in a waterscape and softscape that became a successful urban catalyst, where adults can enjoy the atmosphere while children line up for the interactive water play. The water features are incorporated with a solar-powered chiller system.

The cool water flows along various features in the landscape, as the changing physical form of meandering flows, ripples, and cascades of water delivers an array of water textures and an evaporative cooling effect at each bend. In addition, concealed jet fans create a breezy airflow which distributes cool moisture from the water features’ surface. As a result, the microclimate is adjusted to an ideal human comfort zone while also providing added moisture for plants to flourish.

Lush Greenery An integrated cooling system provides additional benefits to the space by controlling the humidity and temperature at an ideal temperature for growth of a softscape scenery. The designed ‘forest’ uses a softscape palette of plants indigenous to a sub-tropical and tropical climate, including various textured ferns, moss and other species, to create complex multi-level softscape that results in a unique commercial space that blends the surrounding restaurants with natural foliage. Shooting up between these lower and middle layer flora, a dozen of Homalium tomentosum (Vent.)

Benth. shoot up to the highest floor to visually connect the atrium together. Amidst the lush greenery, a fog system is integrated to maintain moisture levels as well as creating an immersive landscape atmosphere in the form of fine mist. According to the species selected, the plant palette is a mix of sun-shade tolerant species that will thrive under the semi-transparent roofing system to find balance between vegetative growth and comfortable space.

Revitalizing landscape element Prior to the renovation, this dry fountain plaza used to be a fountain pond at the edge of a circular plaza. It functioned as a backdrop and buffering elements between the plaza and the parking space. Because its positioned at the edge of the space with the fountains merely as aesthetic element, the management eventually overlooked its maintenance, and it became deteriorated. Algaes took over the pond and it became unwanted.

Our team decided that the pond has to function as an inclusive and dynamic landmark that would bring forth visual attractions and vibrant activities. We decided to turned it into an allutring dry fountain plaza with universal access so that everyone can enjoy it. Beneath the fountain, however, laid a huge water tank that supply water to the mall. Thus, the design touched the exisiting structure lightly and conciously while being able to achieve its goal in serving as an urban catalyst for inclusive and dynamic activities.

Upon the planning and designing of the expansion of FoodWalk, this pond sits right in the middle of the connecting path between the old and this up-coming development. The pond suddently have the potential to 12

Green berm serves as visual blockage and buffering space to the parking space.

Landscape Visual Experience Quality This drop-off was a renovated of a simple tall grass landsacpe that created visual leakage to the unpleasant internal road and parking lots. This was seen initially as a good idea to enhance the the forground of the large entrance mall. However, it overlooked the experiential quality of the space from the main entrance. With ten thousand vehicles passing these roads daily. It soon became a huge distraction to the space within.

The contour of the berm is just high enough to block the view of any automobile outside the lay-by lane while offering view toward the sky.

The rib structures may seem dominant in the photograph to the left, but from the other side, these concrete ribs almost disappear. This quality was designed deliberately to create visual distinction and experience of arriving and departing. Visitors driving into the drop-off are greeted with refreshing sight of greenery, while when leaving they would face with order of concrete ribs.

The new renovation of this green island still serves as a central structure for the main drop off of Megabangna Shopping Center. But its main function is a visual blockage between the main entrance and the large parking space.

Re-thinking landscape spaces within a shopping mall To what extend can landscape play in the context of commercial spaces? How can we, as an urban landscape designer, incorporate natural elements into our work? With the professional help of horticulturists and mechanical engineers, we deployed rich vegetative species as elements to create comfortable microclimate as well as cultural appreciation. Although the setting does not allow for complete natural sustainibility, these elements become showcases for alternatives that’s valuable far beyond the conventional air-conditioned big-boxes architectures. The above photographs show a serie of closeups illustrating delicate natural textures

Mega Park

Re-envisioning Commercial Public Park Mega Park is located at Megabangna shopping mall, South of Bangkok, Thailand. It is a new connection from the shopping mall to the future mixed use development where retail expansion, new tourist attractions and residential areas will be developed. The park becomes a major spine that strengthens the pedestrian circulation system for the overall development.

reflect the needs and requirements of its target users.

The program discovering process involved the developer, designers, and families of targeted user groups in the workshop. The outcome of the program discovery became a starting point for the landscape design.

Mega Park has double layers of circulation. The upper level of circulation connects from the interior of the shopping mall through a bridge structure. At the park, the elevated walkway continues through various nodes of design which feature an amphitheater, tree top walk, and tree house. In each feature, an integrated universal design ramp is provided, so that everyone could have a seamless connection between the elevated walkway and ground level. The structure of the elevated walkway

The design process of the park started from research and workshops targeting value proposition for specific users.

The park design aims to create activities for children from ages 6-14 years old where their families could also enjoy the programs that the park provides.

Hence, programs, scales, and accessibilities had to 21

walk. Combinations of tropical shrubs are planted along the walkway of the park so that children could learn about the local planting species which normally are not seen in the city area. Perennial plants in the flowering field are planted in 3-meter-wide strips. These strips provide food and habitat for different insect species such as bees and butterflies. In addition, children could have fun along the bike lane and also learn about local flora and fauna.

not only provides the vantage point for a new walking experience, but it also becomes a covered shelter for the walkway at ground level. At the ground floor, a pathway system provides connections to the surrounding land plots around the park.

Also, the red bike track loop provides another layer of activities such as cycling or jogging that could bring people to experience different parts of the park from the flowering field through the plaza and onto the open lawn area. Activities for children such as a water maze feature, tree house, semi-indoor playground tucked underneath the amphitheater, and slider are located within close proximity to one another, so that children and their parents could engage with each activity easily. While children are playing, parents could either play along with them or could rest on the amphitheater seating and observe their children.

Landscape design for Mega Park provides a place where families could spend their time together. The park design aims to create the safe environment and enjoyable experience for all users through a series of carefully planned and designed landscape features and diverse plantings. A deliberately thought out plan and design originating from its users.

The park not only provides a space for community but also an environmental enhancement. Soft scape design for the park is an exposition of different horticultural showcases.

Multilayer Park Within Mega Park, multiple layers of programs link seemlessly with exotic greenery to encourage social interactions, recreational activities, and biodiversities.

Not only does the park links the main shopping mall to the new zone, but also serve as an urban catalyst. Multiple programs are proposed from the ground of target-users, children and their families. These programs are placed around a common lawn where visitors would be able to oversee the activities of the entire park. The looped circulation of the elevated walkway provide access and connectivity. It brings children on an exciting adventure inbetween activities and nature. Their joy bring liveliness to the park.

The park extended further North toward an adventurous bicycle track through rich vegetation field. The path is curvy with a serie of up and down slope that’s just enough to excite young children while gentle enough for safety measure. Along the path, children will discover multiple flowers and plants that attracts multiple wild life such as butterflies and drawf honney bees. Southward the park extends out as small plaza and pathway toward the new Mega Avenue that serve as the main street for the many future development. To hold the pieces together, red bike track is used as circulation guideline and visual connector that makes the park whole.

Aestiq Thonglor The Reflection of You

Aestiq Thonglor is located on a prime urban neighborhood filled with offices, night clubs, and desirable restaurants.

The area is crowded and busy all day and night. With the all the surrounding noises in the district, the landscape design aims to provide a quiet and serene space away from the chaotic atmosphere.

Furthermore, toward the end of the space, the sound of a water wall greyed out the outside noises while creating a refreshing atmosphere. The other two walls are lined with local black granite with reflective finishing. This creates and effect that extend the forest outward. Residents at Aestiq are able to find peaceful place within the noisy neighborhood of Thonglor.

Toward the back of the development, the “hideaway pavilion” nestles within lines of aromatic flowering Cork Tree. The pavilion main feature cosists of floating walls that allow the apprecaite the vegetation at ground level while framing the pure sky view that, other vice, would be filled with high rise buildings. Residents are provided with sunken seatings that takes them close to the over flowing reflecting pond that hugged them within the ground.

Here they are able to relax with small a small pantry.

They are able to read and sip beverages while they read.

In order to achieve the ‘floating’ feeling. The structural columns of the pavilion are extended outward inbetween the tree lines. The columns are then camouflaged seemlessly with the tree trunks. In addition, the facades of the pavilion are cladded with reflecting stainless steel to emphasize the interior and exterior since there are no typical boundary.

H2FLOW

Hydrogen Mining Research Facility goal To effectively use the resources within the context and enhance the operation system of the Indo-China Mineral regions by introducing alternative energy sources and new transport system.

Many underdeveloped and remote areas in the world are without proper electrical and transportation network.

Moreover, it is costly and inefficient to construct the infrastructures into these isolated regions. This call for energy in secluded locations means it’s time to seek for an alternative energy.

H2FLOW is a self-sufficient research operation that will revolutionize off-the-grid energy and unlock potential of hydrogen technology in Indo-China mineral region. This trans-national project focuses on abstracting hydrogen energy from water, as water is byproduct of the open-pit mining process. With its rich deposition of Quartz and iron oxide--the main raw material for hydrogen production, Tako Pid Tong, the abandoned mine, serves as a perfect location to establish the research facility. H2FLOW will also introduce airship logistic transportation system, and air observatory for the Indo-China region. Let the hydrogen revolution begin!

concept diagram The outcomes of the popular open-pit mining in the Indo-China mineral region are multiple reservoirs. After extraction of resources, these ponds are eventually filled up with water. With the technology like fuelcell and electrolysis, the energy from the sun can be stored as hydrogen to generate electricity.

H2Flow

Hydrogen Production There are two major method of gaining hydrogen from splitting water. The direct method directly split hydrogen using energy from the sun, while the indirect method uses electricity from renewable sources to split water in the process called electrolysis. Hydrogen is used as a mean to store energy. Hydrogen is then converted to electricity through a non-combustion method call fuelcell. Hydrogen are also used to lift airships, to makes explosive in mining process, and to fertilize vegetation.

Tatami Chiku Re-thinking Tokyo Central District

Project description The vision of the project as Flexible Toranomon is to facilitate a pedestrian-friendly and complete district by encouraging mixed-use buildings with ground-floor retail and wide symbolic buildings. Art and culture street that is also an open space that can accomodate various functions in respsonds to the continuously changing demands.

Toranomon-Shibashi and its surroundings are major business oriented area, eg. Manuroshi, Ginza, and Shiodome. About a third of employers in Tokyo have to travel from outside of Tokyo, increasing the amount of passengers in the packed rush-hour train. Introducing more residence-oriented developments with ground floor retail to Toranomon could reduce commuting time and increase efficiency in business and less energy comsuption in transportation.

This Flexible Loop Road no.2 facilitates pedestrains passage ways along the two sides as well as the two lanes parkways with pedestrian island in between. This emphasize it as a walking street. Most of the time the pedestrian island would be use as an extension space for the adjacent buildings. This may include cafe, dinning, galleries, and shops. The parkways may also be close to create a larger space for special events such as concerts, beer gardens, sports competitions, or even expos.

Goal To visualize the possibilities and purposes of the new Loop Road no.2 that will be established in the central of Tokyo.

The two buildings on the left are examples of the vision of building anatomies that may appear along the developments of loop road no.2. The shop frontage create and engagement of the building with pedestrians. The alternating vertical facade creates vision attractiveness by generating the feeling that “there might be something new around the corner. This triggers the feeling that makes people wants to explore. This type of facade avoids long horizontal pattern. Long horizontal pattern are sometime dull and boring to walk pass because of the visual similarity and the distance. This may make the street seems unexcited. The mid deck and skydeck make use of the elevated platform and engage the view of the city. Offices and recidentials level do not have much engagement with the street, therefore located in the upper level. These different layers deals with their surrounding and are efficient for their contexts. The vision of the buildings along the loop road no.2 are efficient buildings that are exciting and interesting.
