LOST IN THE WOOD PLAYGROUND PROJECT
Project Year: 2020
Location: Makkasan, Bangkok, Thailand
Concept
When people realise about the forest most of them will thinking about the big area that has many tree, easy to be lost same as the nature maze that hard to find way out. The maze is the complicated system of the path normally a maze has to walk in ground direction turn left or right so I need to make the maze different from the others so I create the new way to play maze in up a down direction.
Inspiration
The Hansel and Gretel that story about two kid was left in the forest and find a way to go home but found the candy house by chance.
Overal design
The visual of the Lost in The Woodland from each wall is painted in a different colour to contrast the natural colour and the candy colour.
From the out of each side, you can see the candy house is blended to the natural colour to communicate about the forest. The design is focused on the maze that needs to make it more complicated than normal maze by adding the pattern of the path in the maze into many ways from lifting the maze platform and making the hole for through the walls.

FRAGILITY OF THOUGHT HOUSE PROJECT
Project Year: 2020
Location: Bangkhuntian, Thailand
Subjective
The human thought can be changed or be broke depend on their emotion, situation and surrounding.
Objective
Designing the architecture from analyzing the users, a family member. Take the identity to create the form and space demonstrate and communicate that identity.
Description
According to the users, I choose to analyze my mother. My mother has psychopathy, the depression. This mental disease changes human habit and behaviour when the symptoms have occurred, the patient thought is change, sadness breaks the thought and split out to piece of notion. The mental cure indirect way for my mother need to depend on the clear space and reaching of the light to bright her heart and mind.

LINKING OF INCOMPATBILITY STUDENT UNION PROJECT
Project Year: 2020
Location: School of Architecture Design, KMUTT
Keyword
Bond; the connection of two or more people.
Description
The survey & observation in SOA+D has many people, many characteristics so it can explain that each people have a different form.
From the keyword, create the diagram to demonstrate the connecting of people, the different forms try to connect together, then take the plane of the diagram to intersect together to be a 3D diagram. (bottom right)
Then create the space in the 3D diagram, void and solid, connect it together in each plane.
Plan Explaination
In first-floor plan has two spaces: gathering space and serious working space on this floor, the gathering space is an open space so people can be flow in any direction. the walkway is on the woodshop side so people can walk through that way.
Go upstairs to the second floor, it has different color parts that are creativity zone, a small workshop. It has a different form to demonstrate flexibility and freedom, the color gives energy to the student for the activities.
On the third floor, it is a space for resting and getting the sunlight also has individual space for work or do other activities.

Creating a geometry ratio to t the boundary Geometry ratio Boundary Creating a x zone 1. 2. Creating x zone and making a conditon to lter the result. With the unit that picked up, creating a facade and adjustment of stacking logic apply to sunlight. With the geometry ratio from diving the limit area of 33 sq.m. using to de ne the ratio to t in the boundary. Continue to creating a x zone (1.) to be a mechanical and system zone that are a bathroom and kitchen that using a water, then creating a x zone (2.) to be a clearance for enter the room. With the result of t the geometry in the boundary it creating a varies of layout then it need to be ltered that to limit the area that will not exceed the 33 sq.m. then pick up the layout that usable to continue to developing (no gap and having suitable space) The layout that we choose continue to creating a mass to stacking up to be the building then using a direct sun hours to nding and scheme that suitable for the facade that can using a facade to blocking the sun to unit itself also other unit as well, then creating a pattern of the window that with scaling related to value of direct sun hour that e ect to the facade. 33
EXPERIENCE DESIGN EXPERIMENT
PROJECT
Project Year: 2022
Location:-
Concept / Process
In this project working on the experiment design, initial idea with the folding of the kirigami and the pattern, to finding the space and form leading it to the beyond design and new kind of experience.
Combination between the pattern and the Kirigami, the folding of the kirigami creating a angle and the void in the pieces, joining to be a pattern, leading to new form and space.
35
12082022 From the beginning, choose three kirigami patterns that have different directions but they have the same form of sequences, which is creating the same direction of language, taking it to cutting and folding to learning the method of kirigami, seeing how it work also observation of the space that when the light effect to the surface and void of kirigami and seeing what going on inside the space.
12082022 The first pieces is the pattern of two triangle reflecting upside down with the fins that going out from the longest length on each triangle with the sequences of the direction and scale of the fins also the the scale of the pieces. The second piece is demonstrate the transition of the space that from bigger pop up scaling down to smaller and reverse the method to be a bigger one, balanced piece, it create the gap between the pop up pieces it letting the lighting going inside the space. The third piece is the pop up that going to different angle left and right, balanced, it creating a different of perception when looking to another side with the gap of the piece it is not open to let the light in directly but the surface of the pop up it let the light reflecting on the piece and it can effect to inside the space.
19082022
To development stage, for experiment 01, picking the first kirigami to develop with, interesting point for this piece of kirigami is it can develop in term of continuity so the direction of the fold it different from the original one, the difficult part is finding way how to link two pieces together making it be a one piece. And next experiment 02, it quite similar to the first one, but it have different of folding angle to see how the beginning Kirigami changing the position and how it effect the space. To the experiment 03, it is the beginning kirigami that folding in axis of 90 degree from main axis that usually fold the interesting point is the effect and space inside of the piece.
Kirigami Experiment 04
19082022 To experiment 04, with the experiment 03, the interesting point is continuity so with the pieces is not have the rule to control to be guidance to explore more form, the pattern is the one method that choosing to control the direction of the pieces, taking the beginning kirigami 01 to adjust the form be a diamond shape to be one module and following the chosen pattern to observe the effect of the pieces.
Kirigami Experiment 05
23082022 To experiment 05, it is continuing from experiment 04 that is set the rule or the pattern follow with, from the beginning kirigami 01, that is made from one paper so this stage decided to development one paper piece to be a three dimensional model to have more depth and mass, then continue with the same process of the pattern, adjusting the composition and scaling of the pieces.
26082022 To experiment 06, it is quite of similar to the experiment 04 and 05 but the different is outcome and method, on each module of kirigami it have an angle when folding then when
Kirigami Experiment 07
30082022 To experiment 07, it is the same process as the experiment 06, but changing the beginning piece to kirigami 03, it changing the the module form of the piece that is two squares connecting at the corner together, although it changing the module form it still fit to the pattern because of the form still similar to diamond shape.
METHOD. KIRIGAMI.
Kirigami Experiment 08
30082022 The experiment 08, from module piece in experiment 07 taking it to connect two module together on side then trying to attach each corner together at one point it creating a different form compared to other development, the module that mixes between kirigami form to like organic shape.
FOLDING.
ATTACH. OUTCOME.
Kirigami Experiment 09
30082022 The experiment 09, it is picking a module from beginning kirigami 02 and experiment 07 combine together to see how it create the space and form, with the angle of folding it creating the form direction that on each module when it connect together and force by the main axis folding angle it occur the interesting inner space and outer form.

MATERIALS.
CUTTING. The cutting is basic of kirigami, when creating the form to pop up, it need to cut the paper to make that part to be popped up it could be in any direction most of them will be in straight line and changing the angle to make a different of form.
FOLDING. Folding is basic method same as cutting it will be together both of cutting and folding for the kirigami, the folding is important to the kirigami because this method will making the paper popped up so it should take some time to make it neet because the paper can easily to tear off, there can use some tool that press the paper to a guide line for folding more easily and reduce a risk that can tear the paper.
COMBINE / ATTACH. Combine is the method can apply to difference of kirigami finding the way that making those kirigami have the same direction and can belong together, not only the form it can be about the material that use different of paper type of trying to combine with other material.
PATTERN. Pattern is the illustration that can using it to be a rule or the thing that can control the experiment and exploration, by setting the direction of the pieces that working on to follow the pattern and finding new approaches.
CONTINUITY. Continuity is the action word that need to apply to work, that from the module of kirigami it have the similar pattern on each with this method is trying to find way connecting on each module together by it have some rule of control the piece that is on each piece should connect on the same sides and face to the same direction it is creating a harmony language on the piece.
PAPER 80 GRAM. Paper is the basic material that using for making a kirigami, but with the normal paper it might hard to standing by itself when folding so it can using as the experiment on the form that need more folding orr more organic.
HARD PAPER 200 GRAM. Hard paper is similar to normal paper but that have more stable when it standing so it can using for the pieces that need to show some of stable form more solid.
GLOSSY ART PAPER. Art paper is similar to hard paper but different in term of texture on the surface that have more glossy texture and look more reflective surface.

The main structure of the building; with the structure of the triangle it creating a strong of the structure and can hold the load by itself also it can leading to other element. FROSTED GLASS. Apply to void to making the light scattering increasing the brightness in the space. GLUTTER. The glutter of the building to drain some of the water with the roof have a very steep from the slope can have some of water controll direction. FOLDING METAL. To provide for the roof part using more lighter folding metal sheet to apply for the roof creating the different of materials. VOID. - KIRIGAMI Void in the building is occured from the pattern and method of the Kirigami that with the folding and cutting part creating some of gap to be the opening. ELEVATIONS_1:200. SECTIONS_1:200. MATERIALS & DETAILS. PLANS_1:200. The entrance of the cafe; The access of the cafe leading customer to a service area, order area, and back of the house.
