Rin's site research: Charoengkrung Road

Why Do I choose This Site ?

Charoengkrung Road is surrounded with full function of good facilities provided for people in the community, and unfortunately with the born of Asiatique and many convenience stores.  People started to look over the shophouse which were old and didn't provided all the needs for them.

Axonometric analyse

 This is the axonometric site drawing explored about the relationship of the public and private zone in the charouengkrung area.  The chosen site also got the link back with the previous project "installation".  It is very easy to traveled to Charoengkrung road as there are many different ways like boat, bus, taxi or motocycle taxi but however it is quite traffic.  Many shophouses near Asiatique has been forgotten and some got closed down.

Surrounded Area of the choosen site

There were varieties of facilities around e.g. residential area, official place, commerce, religious place, industry, education institution, warehouse, public place of entertainment, public utility and many mores.  This is the main reasons why those shophouse has been ignored for a long time, even villager are concern more on street venders.

Zoning and the relationship of Time, People and Streetvenders

There are many people in the Asiatique zone and majority of them are visitors.  Villagers are around at the shophouse zone as there are bus stops and street venders.  Shophouses are the least attraction in this area for both villagers and visitors.

Decays of materials and Erotic sense 

The above is the collage of the building that used different type of materials which changed due to the time.  The development began from wood to metal, concrete and glass.  The sense of erotic view through body and skin.  The skin of building could demonstrate meaning and tells the care, time, concerned.  It can also tells the emotion of sad, happy, anger and revenge as explore in the previous project of installation.

  

The possibility of what shophouses could look like depends on decay of time and development of materials to demonstrate the erotic sense of emotional express.
