Overview

Project type : Graduation Design Thesis

Project location : Mayan Gone Township, Yangon

Year : Final Year (2021)

Institution : Yangon Technological University

Summary

Enabling means making something easier or possible. In Burmese, it means “Swan Saung Naing Say”. Enabling community center is a community space where is additionally designated to dedicate a community with disability who suffers some discrimination and ignorance in Myanmar. It is a one-stop place to enable persons with disabilities to overcome their physical limitations and empower them mentally, socially and economically to become self-reliant and fully integrated members of the community.

Project Goals

The center aims to create an integrated space with the initiation of community-based rehabilitation (CBR), a valuable model of intervention, providing awareness, protection and empowerment to persons with disabilities and their families in society. Therefore, the center aims to provide the following facilities;

• Physical rehabilitaion for physically handicapped persons

• Educational facilities

• Recreational facilities

• Social facilities

A volume of building (~2M cubic foot) is allocated in southwest corner of the site (5.4 Acres) to ensure the shortest approach for the physically handicapped persons into the building.

The Enabling Community Center has two objectives: Enabling functions, that consist of physical rehabilitaion and educationl zones, and Community functions (social +recreational zone)

The recreational and social zone is the largest zone consisting of double-volumed paralympic sport courts. Administrative offices and green spaces are integrated throughout the building.

The physical rehabilitation zone plays an important role to enable physically handicapped persons together with educational services and so does the recreational and social zone while it attracts all persons with or without disability.

CONTINUITY OF CIRCULATION FLOW

The approach to the building enhances the convenient action flow of service users with a less transitional but larger space ensuring welcoming effect.

EXCULSION OF CROSS CIRCULATION

Safey of service users is maximized with fewer cross paths of vehicle and walkways. Disability-friendly environment is achieved by providing shorter accessible route to building with green space integerated ramps.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 02

Project type : Design studio project assignment

Project location : Yangon Technological University Campus

Participants : Individual

Year : Fifth year (2019)

Institution : Yangon Technological University

Library design is more than a practice in architectural form making in spite of the growin interest in typological reinvention.The size of the assigned library design is for 500 students with the book of 30000 volumes. Space provision for this university library is 1 study space per 6 students. The folloing are considered to be included in this university library;

1. Entry or access areas with disability friendly design

2. Public services

3. Accommodation for readers

4. Admin & staff accommodation.

All of the study and reading spaces are accessible to daylight and acoustic treatments are installed as well to minimize the unwanted noises as much as possible in the library. Green spaces and refreshment corners are also integrated in library to reset the mood of readers if need be or when exhausted. The overall form of the design is adopted from YTU’s main building to inherit the essence of the campus.

The main concept is to adopt to form of YTU’s

ART AND CRAFT MUSEUM 03

Project type : Design studio project assignment

Project location : Dagon Township, Yangon

Participants : Individual

Year : Fifth year (2019)

Institution : Yangon Technological University

Art and craft museum in Yangon is dedicated for the promotion of Myanmar traditional arts and crafts, namely Myanmar traditional paintings, wood carving, lacquer-ware works, puppet making, silversmith, tapestry work and lacquer ware works.

The use of water bodies on the front side represents the nature of water which is a cool and calm atmostphere to be harmony with collections of arts and crafts in the museum. To express the chronology and dynamism of collections throughout the history, the shape of water wave is conceptualized and blue colour is used to symblize the water.

Glasses and curtain walls are used on external facades for transparency of museum maintaining the quality of collections of national importance with UV and high solar performance materials to reduce the damage to collections.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

As the total floor area is not small according to the design program, the concept is focused on designing the facade of the museum. For being a cultural museum, it is considered to be a stable volume for the building and to harmonize the chronological artifacts from ancient times to today, a dynamic external facade, which also protect artifcats from weather impacts, is added.

FACADE DESIGN

The main concept is to use stable volume with dynamic facade, so the idea is mostly similar to the nature of water, which is both stable and dynamic according to its location. Therefore, the facade design is adopted from the shape of a water wave to express dynamism while the water bodies at the entrance of the museum and volume expresses the stable effect.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

This level mainly accommodates admins and staffs with less semi-private space, which is high vision television room, indoor and outdoor gallery.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN

The main functions of the museum are on this level, exhiting natrual and cultural artifacts that are displayed chronologically along the route from one hall to another.
