bang ka chao community

The community of Bangkajao is a mixed society of farmers, contractors, and civil servants. Most than half of the households live in this area for more than 40 years. Villagers live in a natural environment along the canal. Although being a popular tourism spot, the land remains rather undeveloped in order to preserve the greenland. Therefore the community here is not crowded.

SITE SITE ANALYSIS ANALYSIS :: TRANSPORTATION TRANSPORTATION // CIRCULATION CIRCULATION

travel distance The circulation to the site is unique due to the river disecting the main site towards the city center at the opposite.The easiet access to the site from the city is through the waterway or ferry way across the river but accessing it through vehicles would require a longer distance travelled to get to the only bridge connecting the cape to the other side of the river. The main road and secondary ones are flowing in both directions therefore reducing the need of an abundance of street connections. The site itself is considered rural as public infrastructures such as train station as buses are not present nearby except the other side of the river. The site however has a jetty present nearby thus providing access through the river as well as a bike renting service. Estimation from Suvarnabhumi Int.

SITE ANALYSIS : MACRO STUDY

INTRODUCTION Regional styles of architecture in Thailand have developed over the centuries and are a product not only of climate and location but have adapted to meet the needs of the local populations and their principal means of making a living.

The vast majority of Thais are Buddhist but animist beliefs that are millennia old have a great influence on almost every aspect of daily life and building design and construction is no exception.

Traditional architecture in every region is well designed for tropical weather with sharply sloping roofs to quickly channel off rainwater, which is often collected and stored for future use, and the use of natural building materials wherever possible to keep the dwelling cool.

In the south, with frequent storms and torrential downpours, houses are typically built on much more substantial supporting columns, today often of concrete, with narrower window spaces and lower gabled roofs. In the south, as indeed in all regions,

the house almost invariably faces north, so that the roof surface, even at midday, doesn’t receive direct sunlight.



SITE ANALYSIS:REGIONAL STYLE

architecture style zoning


religious buildings The elements speak volumes about a building itself, revealing its vintage and regional identity. Curving design appears in several parts of the structures in the temples such as the arched roof,thick at the base and thin at the top, walls and pillars lean toward the centre of the structure, whitewashed stucco walls,

small windows, two or three-tiered roofs, curved pediments and naga lintels over the doors and steps.


SITE ANALYSIS : MACRO STUDY

traditional style Characteristics of the tradional style include steeply-sloping tile roofs with up turned edges, open air spaces and lush gardens, mostly built above the ground on high posts and made with local material


floating houses

western residential style These features include large, open porches with overhanging beams and rafters, dormers, and a tall, pointed roof with one or more gables. They use traditional building materials such as brick, wood, plaster, stucco, and stone.


SITE ANALYSIS : MACRO STUDY

contemporary and modern style There are varieties of types: lodging, residence, shop houses, hotels, resorts and institution buildings such as government offices and educational institutes, etc.

Highlight large plate glass walls or windows. They also tend to use a variety of other natural or organic materials, such as metal, concrete, wood, and stone, free-form shapes.

timber and concrete hybrid houses

The normally open terrace area in traditional buildings are enclosed within the concrete walls and the space is airconditioned nullifying the need for the cross ventilation


SITE ANALYSIS : MICRO STUDY Some of the houses exhibit both timber and concrete as their main building material. These 2 storey houses have concrete as their lower floor and timber as the top floor.

Commonly used roofing materials include:

raised floor level Traditional Thai houses were raised on stilts to protect the house from harsh weather conditions and wild animals. This also created a space below the house for daily work.

Houses with reinforced concrete are anchored to the ground in concrete blocks and mortar. Some houses still have a small platform to still avoid any occurrences of flooding.

ventilation Since traditional Thai houses were raised on stilts, it catches winds of higher velocity, making the area beneath the house cooler. The house has larger windows and more open spaces allowing in more air for efficient cross ventilation However, since these houses are

anchored to the ground, there is very minimal natural ventilation. Concrete does not have as low thermal capacity as timber, so this further heats up the building. This requires for mechanical ventilation, hence most of these houses have air conditioning


reinforced concrete houses

The normally open terrace area in traditional buildings are enclosed within the concrete walls and the space is airconditioned nullifying the need for the cross ventilation


SITE ANALYSIS : MICRO STUDY Bang Krachao is a popular retreat for wealthy Bangkokians during the weekend, so a lot of them built houses here so that they can come and stay over. Most of these houses are more modern and made of reinforced concrete.

two shape which are round shaped pillars and redented rectangular pillars. Round shaped pillars are made of large timber that comes in a long, round shape. While Redented rectangular pillars were made smaller angles, giving a curved look.
