Cable Crossing Cable Car Crossing Location: Taksin Bridge, Bangkok project area: 1,942 m2 project description Cable Crossing is a cable car system beside Taksin bridge that takes you across the two-hundred meter Chaopraya River. Currently the exisitng way to cross is by walking up the bridge or taking the crossing ferries. Walking on the bridge gives the passer-by extraordinary view of the city of high elevation. The ferries are often dangerous and take more than 15 minutes during working hours. Cable crossing is introduced as an alternative way to get across. It does not disrupt the water traffic, unlike the ferry. It also takes the passengers up high to symbolic viewing decks. The design derived from abstracting Thai art in the flow of the plan, while using Supannahong ship as key inspiration of the structure.

Lat Krabang Community Workshop Location: Bangkok project area: 7,327m2 project description Relishing Opportunity is a KMUTT dormitory that encourages beneficial relationship between its students, local communities, and tourists. The tenant students in all departments are required to develop and facilitate the underdeveloped neighborhood as a part of first-hand experience courses. These programs integrate the dormitory as a center of development that initiate symbiosis relationship between the existing context and introduced program. The community benefits by gaining neighborhood developments such as pavilions, footpath, parks, signage, and etc. The students benefit by obtaining first-hand experience in working with the community, solving real world problems, and designing and constructing actual structures. As this type of building and relationship between students and community is rather new and has the potential to be constructed across the country, it is a great place for case study and tourism. Designed to be a center of development for community, the dormitory has a large workshop area for constructions, courtyards, and cafeteria that are open for public. The building is located on the edge of the community right beside the main road and a bridge. It is then designed to face into the community to create psychological attachment and is equipped with sound barrier to deflect vehicles noises.

37 Ladkrabang district analysis Ladkrabang is one of the 50 districts of Bangkok, located in the east of the town. Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Bang Bo, Bang Sao Thong and Bang Phli (Samut Prakan Province), Prawet, Saphan Sung, Min Buri and Nong Chok (Bangkok) and Mueang Chachoengsao (Chachoengsao Province).In October 2005 the plan to create the special administrative area Nakhon Suvarnabhumi around the new Bangkok airport became public. Lat Krabang is supposed to one of five districts to be included into this new area.â&#x20AC;? There are 4 major influences in the area. First, King Mongkut Institute of Technology Ladkrabang that provide education in both practical and theorical aspect. Second, Suvarnabhumi airport that, although create noise pollution, brings travellers and people into the district. Third, the industrial estate that provide jobs for thousands of workers in the area. Finally, the project site area itself, within Pracharuamjai community, that have a lot of potential for development.

Pracharuamjai community analysis Prcharuamjai community is located in the south of Ladkrabang district just above the Suvarnabhumi airport. Within the community are a school, a temple, and a small sala(pavillion) for community gathering. There are not much public space. The local would gather for meeting and annual festivals within the area of the temple. This temple is like a public space that tie up the people. However, a few years the airport was built, an airport link railway was established, and the community is gifted with a station. The station is like a gateway to other parts of Bangkok and the rest of the world. The stations brought in people, strangers who found a cost-effective and easy-to-commute place to rent. These airport/industrial estate workers do not interact with the community or participate in festival and events. This is partly because of the built-for-rent-money apartments that bloomed out like mushrooms. It must have lack an architect who concern about the building context, because there are barely any interacting space within these apartments. inhabitant who arrived home from work goes straight up to their rooms and disappear in their box of isolation.

Pracharuamjai community analysis

Suvarnabhumi Aiport was recently estrablish itself near pracharuamjai communities. Tremendous impact have affected the locals. The aircraft enginesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; noises are problematic. Airport workers start to settle in the area. Typical built-for-rent aparments started to pop up like mushrooms.

KMITL, King Mongkutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang have a various faculties that engage in the field of industry. Its missions are to provide the best education for students with rigorous theoretical knowledge and practical skills and know-hows and to advance knowledge and research in all major areas.

Pracharuamjai community is an under-develop community due to the restrictions in building regulations. The community faces various situation that have put it in a rather poor conditions. Some problems from several local interviews are listed above.

Ladkrabang industrial estates is close to Inland Container Depot (ICD), which is one of the transportation hubs of Thailand. This prime location provides advantages in logistics and distribution with its proximity to the industrial estate and ICD, and other users close to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

reinforce concrete “Reinforced concrete is a composite material in which concrete’s relatively low tensile strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and/or ductility. The reinforcement is usually, though not necessarily, steel reinforcing bars (rebar) and is usually embedded passively in the concrete before it sets. Reinforcing schemes are generally designed to resist tensile stresses in particular regions of the concrete that might cause unacceptable cracking and/or structural failure.”

aluminumsheet “Sheet metal is simply metal formed into thin and flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and can be cut and bent into a variety of different shapes. Countless everyday objects are constructed of the material. Thicknesses can vary significantly, although extremely thin thicknesses are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are consideredplate.”

perforated aluminum sheet “Perforated metal is an excellent means of achieving sustainable design objectives. Perforated sunshades and sunscreens provide privacy for building occupants without blocking the view. And they offer a comfortable level of natural lighting during daylight hours while deflecting heat to reduce the load on the HVAC system. Perforated canopies, façades and cladding can also be used to help control interior climate and save energy.”

steel structure “Structural steel is steel construction material, a profile, formed with a specific shape or cross section and certain standards of chemical composition and mechanical properties. Structural steel shape, size, composition, strength, storage, etc., is regulated in most industrialized countries. Structural steel members, such as I-beams, have high second moments of area, which allow them to be very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area.”

48 15 Beneed Beneath

project description Beneed Beneath is a skyscraper that pump out and store magma from sources that are close to volcanoes. The thermal energy of the larva is used to generate electricity by steaming liquid and turning multiple generators. The tower does not only stores and generate electricity for its inhabitant but also delivers this hot liquid by sky rail lines to other locations that need energy. The world is growing fast in energy consumption and our non-renewable fossil fuel consumption is running out drastically. Beneed Beneath offer the alternative to this by offering the possibility of using the power thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneath our feet. The tower consists of several parts that help generates energy throughout the buildings while leaving room for magma storage. Part of the tower is a chamber that drilled in and collects the magma in the inner core of the volcano. The pipe of the chamber is connected to the turbine generators that collects and stores it in capsules container before distribution. Above the generator sections houses residential zone for scientists and engineer of the tower. The upper part of the tower is used to dry magma and grind it in order to get high nutritious soil. These nutritions are then dispersed in the air. It would reach large areas and provide fertilizer for plants in the surrounding area. The tower itself is made from crystals combining with titanium matrix that made it able to withstand the heat from the surrounding and from the magma.

Esplanade Urban Shopping Area Location: Bangkok project area: 19,054 m2

16 Esplanade

project description Esplanade is a mix development between commercial shops and offices that addresses the issue of walkability in Bangkok while introduces an alternative to ever growing shopping malls in the heart of Bangkok. The design focuses on the spaces between buildings. The proportion of these spaces were considered carefully to give out an intimate feeling for the visitors. These gaps guide pedestrians smoothly along the project and to the prestigious esplanade space. This area around the isolated pond beside the canal is the main space that gives this project its unique characteristic. Esplanade project utilizes space appropriately by locating programs that needs to be connected directly to the pedestrian such as shops and restaurant in the lower floor and by locating program like offices in the upper floor. Esplanade focuses on using architecture to shape spaces between buildings and choreograph the flow of visitors in the project. goal To design a new shopping area in the Pratunam district that is pedestrian friendly, interesting, and has multi-function.

Urban Cyclists Urban Solution Location: Bangkok project area: 50,000 m2 project description This project proposed an urban promenade along the Chaopraya River as a cultural path along this historical highway of Bangkok. Bangkok used to be a place that was enriched with aquaculture where rivers and canals are used as traveling path, however the modern era have detached the city and its people from the river. Thais are now more dependent on automobiles and are less connected. Many water frontage areas are privatize and do not allow the public to engage with the river. The urban cyclist project make room for this connection while leaving the existing water-side structures as it is. This urban highway would allow the reconnection of Thai aquatic culture.

Make Way (ตัน-ตัด-ต่อ) Stair Case Design Location: Ratchada 17, Bangkok project area: 12 m2

18 Make Way

project description Make Way is an urban staircase that respond to one of Bangkok sidewalk problem. In this case, a mass produced pedestrian bridge that completely reject its urban context. The existing stairway is completely and irresponsibly obstructing the walk way beside a 10 lanes Ratchadapisek road. The bridge forced pedestrian to step down to the road to pass it daily. This is another unsafe and irresponsible structure that is ill-designed. In order to solve this problem. Make way adapt to the existing structure with the idea of Obstruct-Cut-Connect (ตัน-ตัด-ต่อ). By removing nonstructural half of the staircase and constructing another stair way above the structural half, we are able to make way for pedestrian on the footpath while maintaining the space for pedestrian bridge traffic.

Asean Knowledge and Culture Diffusion Center Location: Bangkok project area: 43,305 m2 project description ASEAN Knowledge and Culture Diffusion Center is a cultural center that introduces and promote the up-coming ASEAN agreements and its countries culture and knowledge. The content of this agreements and the information about our neighbors are utterly important and may not reach enough people if it were to be store in a traditional museum where the content is in a large enclosed structure that people barely visit. Too little people go to traditional museum (eg. MOCA). It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the artworks the justice it deserve. This is because it is hard to get to and there is only one reason to go. To reach more audiences the exhibition should be diffuse in to the crowd, not isolated away from everything else. Tha Chang is close to the Grand Palace and is one of the major piers on the Chaopraya River and is crowded by more than ten-thousand visitors daily. It is a perfect place to diffuse this important information into Bangkok. Furthermore, because it would be more affective if these knowledge and culture would reach other places, it should be able to get to its remote audiences by means of detachable architectures. goal To introduce a new type of cultural center that diffuses knowledge, cultures, and artworks to the people because traditional isolated museums failed to establish itself in Thai society.

goal 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.

Reenvisioning Toranomon District location: Toranomon, Tokyo, Japan project area: 579,000 m2 urban attractions Multiple urban destinations can make the area become attractive. More destinations are often result in more reasons to visit. This can bring in various kind of people, making this area a lively neighborhood.

complete district Tokyo is the largest metropolitan area in the world and it functions as a transit-oriented development (TOD). This type of system function best when most daily activities can be perform within a walking distance within a district. Rapid transit system connects districts together.

asian business center The newly develop ring road no.2 and Toranomon Hills have create a good opportunities for new developments and for foreign company to move into the area.

tatami street Deriving from Japanese multi-function mattress, this street would be use in various way in responding to the demand through time. This way the streets is always interesting with different events going on through out the year.

goal 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.

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. This Flexible Loop Road no.2 facilitates pedestrains passage ways and along the two sides as well as two lanes parkways with pedestrian island in between to emphasize the it as a walking street. Normally 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. Set aside Izakaya culture, Toranomon-Shinbashi is lacking major urban attractions that can make the area a major destination in the central Tokyo. Acommodating more urban destinations in the area such as museum, sports facilities, theatres, cinemas, shopping centers and so forth. 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. goal To visualize the possibilities and purposes of the new Loop Road no.2 that will be established in the central of Tokyo.

These four cities, Tokyo, New York, Bangkok, and London, have large metropolitan areas that are close to the coasts. Tokyo has the biggest urban area by population in the world, New York the 8th, Bangkok 19th, and London 32nd. Beside the urban development growth, geographical pattern such as mountains and river, and synthetic human developments such as farmland and built-up coastline is also visible. New York and Tokyo have more mountainous geographical pattern surrounding its metropolitan area, while London and Bangkok(smaller urban area) have patches of farmlands surrounding them.

2. Transit-Oriented Development

land use-Tokyo central wards

Tokyo is a Transit oriented developement, where developments form aroudn rail station and the city grow along the railway. The map above shows the density of the Tokyo Metropolitan area and the rail line that runs across the region. The density of the city is clustered aroudn the Tokyo central wards. Within this 23 special-wards area, 28.85 million people use public transportation daily. Supporting the movement of these people to and from their destinations is a public transportation network that is composed of (a) Japan Railway and other private railway company lines connecting the city center with the suburbs, (b) Tokyo Metro and Toei Subways operating primarily in the ward area and, (c) other familiar modes of transport such as Toei buses and streetcars, and buses operated by private companies.

The white areas represent the residnce structures. The black represents business. Red represents commercials. Green dots represent parks. Orange lines represent train transportation and the red line represents the Ring Road No.2. With the map at this scale, and obvious relationships between the patterns in the Tokyo is visible. Many of the areas are developed according to the railway lines. The business areas are clustered around Chuo, Chiyoda, and Shinbashi area, while the residence areas are aroudn surrounding districts. The buisness buildings are also scattered along the railway lines. Another major building use that also scattered around along the railway lines is the commercial use. The commercial areas are concentrated within some areas such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, OmoteSando, and Ginza. There is a clear seperation bettwen business area, Manurouchi and Ginza, and the residence areas surrounding it,of which there is a gradient of transition between the two areas.

Work days 365 days (a year) – 104 days (weekend off) – 11 days (national holidays) = 250 days Commute time per year 2 hours commute time (1hr x 2 a day) x 250 = 500 hours / 24 = 20.8 days!!! Those who spend 45 minutes in train a day, spend 16 days in train per year. source: real estate information service “at home” in November 2009

Complete District Tokyo functions as a Transit-Oriented Development. Combinations complete districts is an ideal model for this kind of city. The idea of the complete district is to be able to access daily need within the walking distance. When wanted one can transit to other districts. Therefore it should be a mixed use development with establishments like schools, offices, sport center, market, and so forth. Toranomon-Shinbashi area is already a mixed use neighborhood,

or near by. With that extra 2 hours a day, he can have more time with his familiiy, more time for work, and more time for himself. With the trains being so crowded and most likely to be unpresant trip because of this packed crowd, surely these uncomfortable time can be spent else where! In adition, instead of paying for commuter pass company can help employee pay for rent/ installation!

so balancing residence and residence, and adding neccesary programs and urban attractions can be a solution to the district.

72 21 Tatami Chiku

Residence and Office Things that businessmen needs daily are within walking distance! However it is impossible for everything to be within this walking distance. Sometime these residents might want go to places like Shibuya, Omotesando, Shinjuku, and etc. to eat different food, shop somewhere else, or to watch a sport match. This is when the Tokyo subway, the best transit system in the world, comes in. The people who live in the district will gain some of the 21 days, that otherwise would be spend on commuting back. because they live just above their working place

Commuting in to Central Tokyo The graphs above indicate that 40 percents of the populations who work within Tokyo live outside of Tokyo. This means that these people have to commute to work everyday and most likely commute at the same time. Large amounts of people moving in similar direction at the same time could create congestion. However Tokyo has one of the best transportation in the world to keep up with this amount of commuters. Nevertheless, this still cause a packed train daily.

Rail station during rush hour in tokyo

Mixed-use area: leaning toward residential While there are approximately 350,000 residence in the 3 central districts, Chiyoda, Chuo, and Minato, there are more than 2 millions passenger who commute to the 6 main stations in the districts daily.

Many districts around Toranomon like Roppongi, Ginza, Manrouchi, Natagacho, and Shiodome are luxurious areas of Tokyo. However, Toranomon-Shimbashi at the moment do not echoes its surrouding prosperities. There are Many attractions around the site. Ginza is a luxurious shoppping area and restaurant crusine. Tsukiji Fish market is the biggest whole sale fish market in the world. There are several large parks in the area, like Hibiya, Hamarikru, and Shiba park. There are also many temples. Tokyo Tower is sited near by. However the Shimbashi-Toranomon is lacking these attractions. It is lacking major elements that will bring people in to its area. Increasing these urban attractions can help create this new face of the district.

residence Because it is the main business area that does not have enough residential developments, increasing this type of construction could increase amount of people in the district and also increase the efficiency of the city.

schools An international school for adults and kids would be a solid addition to attract foreign workers to the area. Japanese people can take English class and foreign family could let their children study here. Kids education can be a vital decision for the family to move somewhere.

The district is a largely business-oriented neighborhood and naturally in Tokyo the entertainment that comes with it is the izakaya. These casual drinking establishments are highly popular among business people after work. A quarter of the site is filled with these type of developments.

attractive elements

offices There are many offices in the area, it is one of the major business area in Tokyo. Most modern offices are at the international stanrdard, this working environment is already familiar and suitable to foreign workers. The only thing is to increase the English labels and signage in the building and surrounding areas.

event spaces This group of phogographs show some of the attractive elements within the Shimbashi and Toranomon area; Toranomon Hills, trainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, Shiodome developments, the square beside Shimbashi Station, and Atago Hills.

Art and cultural elements exist amongs the districts that surround Toranomon like Ginza and Roppongi, but there are not many, or any in the Torranomon area itself. Because of this missing program, there is a potential to bring art and culture into the area both to fill in the missing piece and to make this district more attractive to the International Corporation. Most of the buildings in Toranomon area are aging and could be reconstruct for safetiness because Tokyo is prone to natural disaster such as earthquakes.

Event spaces are flexible and can host various type of events. It endorse cultural elements. When crowd gathers and special things happen, it become memorable. There is an existing open space beside the Shimbashi station. Some events are held in this area and it allow rooms for extended uses. However, this is the only open space within the site.

Onarimon Railway in Japan is a very convenient way to travel in Tokyo because of the numerous stations and high coverage area. The site is accessible by 4 train stations; Shimbashi, Toranomon, Kamiyacho, and Onarimon. Shimbashi is a major interchange station in Tokyo. The area is fill with small parcel and narrow roads, which makes it convient to walk because the blocks are small and fast to get around.

When building a large-scale building, mixed-use building is a good choice to be efficient. Working and living in the same building may sound boring and dreadful, but in fact there would be more time to spend instead of stucking in the pakced train for hours. Work would end at the same time and there would be more time to go to places desired. Not only would there be more time, but this would also save energy and money spend in transportation.

Concert/Beer Garden

The street is wide enought to host a music festival, concert, as well as beer garden! The area is well known for Izakaya, businessmen favorite drinking place. The demand of drinking place is high and ring road no.2 can host it!

Shops and restaurants are at the ground level to keep the streets environment within human scale. These shops should not be too wide to keep the streets interestings. As these public frontage are the activities generators, the street would be lively and active. This is the level that will attract people to this street. It is what resemble the essense of the district. Office are on the higher layers because it is a semi-public place where employee that may not live in the building will come to work too. Offices is another active space after shops and arestaurants, so if ther would a layer of residence in the same building, it should be above the office building. Residences are on the higher layer because there would be lower noises from the street because its further away. This will ensure a private environment, plus, it would be less active program. On the upper floor, where there are open spaces. It is the ideal space for entertainments like crusine, bars, restaurants, or sports for businessmen like golfings or gym.

Landscape Hydrogen Research Operation Location: Suan Phueng, Ratchaburi, Thailand project area:300,000 m2 project description 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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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!

goal 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.

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.

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.

Tako Pidthong

The existing site Tako Pidthong is located on the Tenasserim Mountain range, right beside the Thai-Myanmar Border. The abandoned mine has a large deposition of Tin, Feldspar, Mica, and Quartz. Eventough the mining was seized more than a decades ago. Local community still inhabit the valley because there is a school and a pathway between the border.

22 H2Flow

Mining Process

This mining process diagram shows that energy, water source, and certain landscape is required to refine mineral ores successfully. Some of its output are water and iron oxide. This mine contain more than half of Quartz deposition in the country. It is the most valuable mineral between the four.

22 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 fuel-cell. Hydrogen are also used to lift airships, to makes explosive in mining process, and to fertilize vegetation.

Repairing and Storage

The repairing center extends into the pond. It has a large opening that enable the H2Hex to flow into the center for maintainance. The walkway that runs along the pond would be lifted up to ensure that the floating devices are able to enter the building. Hydrogen capsules will be kept in this location. It would also store hydrogen in underground presurize tanks.

Fabrication Laboratory

The fabrication labratory is equiped with necessary machines to construct various type of H2Hex units. There are areas that tests out the prototype units. The warehouse-like architectures with high roof enable space for large machines. The lab faces toward the pond so the units can be transfer to the water easily. It also has direct connection with the reparing center.

H2Zep Hangars

The design is of typical hangars, but it would holds innovative airships that could be the future of observatory touring and even new type of logistic transportation of the coming generation. The hangars temporary hold the H2Zeps for repairing and modifying. Normally these airship have the ability to stay up in the air all the time.

H2Zep Tower

The tower would direct the air traffic. It is also a platform in which visitors and researchers get on and off of H2Zep. The airships provide transportation to other area as well as act as an observatory for touris and researchers. It will fly across Suan Phueng and the Tenasserim Mountain range.

Exhibition Exterior

The exhibition building aims to be a share space between the existing communities, miners, tourists, and researchers. Shading devices are provided to avoid heat gain to the building.

Exhibition Interior

The large and full-height exhibition area would hold the information about the hydrogen technologies. These showcase would be for the visitors to learn more about the facilities. It would also provide indoor event space for the communities.

Research Laboratory

This open-plan 3 stories main characteristic has the seating that extend over the pond. This give a peaceful environment for the researchers to sit and relax. It would also act as a small ampitheatre.

Residential Units

Residential units that faces toward the pond build the relationship between the tenants and water, the key elements of their research. This view would also be calm and peaceful.

Quartz Processing Plant This proposed quartz processing plants is divided into 4 sections. This is the result of the expansion of the plants. The processing plant with expand when there are more funding after the minerals are sold. The plant is located on the slope of the mountain of the quartz min-

Floatation Plant ing pits. It is position to use the gravity to help in the process from mining, storing, crushing, grinding, and then store again. Beside the processing plant are the Hydrogen fueling stations for H2 vehicles and fuel cell generator that provide electricity for the process.

This renovated floatation plant will be use to seperate Feldspar, Mica, and Tin. Similar process and structure of the plant is kept to show the reminicense of the previous mining cultures. The position of the machine would be similar to the existing facility. However, proper water treatment

system would installed to retain contamination and extract Iron Oxide in the process. This is one of the material that has the potential for photoelectrochemical process.

hydro-electric dam - This is the first sight youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see of H2FLOW. This dam is a way to store renewable energy that is used in mining process before hydrogen operation. It also contributes as a fresh water source for Suan Phueng.

weir treatment system - H2Flow will also offer a clubhouse that allows water activities such as kayaking and sailing. Weir system will treat the water from the upper mining area as it flow down to the dam reservoir.

fabrication laboratory - The operation promote community involvement and offer training facility to the local people. H2Flow offers tourist experience to the facility as well

quartz mining pit- The research facility will have the mutual support to the mining operation because the generated hydrogen can be used to generate electricity for machinery, vehicles, and explosives.

launch pad- Not only does this new energy system do what the previous mining operation does but also open room for new airship transportation that can travel freely without road in this mountainous area.

facility renovation- Exisiting ruins of previous mining facilities will be renovated and open for tours. Students are welcome to come and study both the mining and research facility.
