A/ CONCEPT When I was a child, when I do something makes me ashamed, my parents say to me :” digging holes and hiding” (Vietnam traditional sayings ) and now when I was a adult, I still want hiding somewhere to escape life. There are so many things that we have to think and sorrow, job, family, friend, … and I think everyone always want to find somewhere to rely on. The first time when I read competition conditions, I want container to be that place. But I don’t want put it horizontally, I want put it upright because it will darker, more private and it will be a “good shelter”. Of course I will not make it becomes a place where you escape forever, container is where you can regain trust life and find peace so I put a tree in the middle and I want you take care it to become a large tree. You will see the way tree grows up, rising up to take light on the top of container and I believe that it will give you a hope in your life. B/ EXTERIOR I want to keep the original shape of the container. I put it upright, open two doors on the top and design it to be a balcony with railing. I remove two doors on the bottom, lift container up 0.4m and create a small door on left side. I design a long narrow window in front make the light uprise and tree will grow up uprise. On other sides, I make some narrow windows for the people can look outside from inside. Exterior color is the original color of container, we can repaint it with a same color. C/ INTERIOR I just put a staircase inside it, because the space so small. But I create some longstairs on other high. We can use it to sitting, lying. I like sitting like that beside tree, reading a book, listen a song and sleeping anytime I want. You can write or stick your picture on wall. You can go to the top and lying on that. I think it like a watch tower of mine. Interior color includes color of wood I use for stair, and rallings are white.
D/ PLACE The best place to put it is vacant meadows, swards. I think when I put in that places, people will come and plant trees. It will become to a greener place.
E/ PRICE TYPE Substructure + Column Stair Glass Worker TOTAL
PRICE (THB) 15,700 47,200 800 31,400 95,100
E/ THE FEASIBILITY The only thing I feel unfeasibility is the tree in middle. It would be difficult to grow up in a narrow place. So I design for it can rise up by making a light rise up. And I think it can be done. On another case I think we can find a tall enough tree , construct a container around it but it would not meaningful for my project.
