Thu Tha' s site research: Ladprao Junction

For my site, I looked at the activities in front of the shophouses, which were mostly occupied by the street venders. My diagram showed how the street venders occupied the space, and the effects of it. This relates to my concept of impermanence where venders are often there in an amount of time and later disappear. 

Details and Close Ups

Map of the site

The site chosen is by the main road and is by the Ladprao junction.

Facades

Most of the shophouse are photo printing shops and so they compete by putting advertisements on the facades causing them to be very colorful.

Activities

There are different ways in which venders display their things. Some put them on table and some uses the stairs in front of the shophouse as a place to display their products.

Some venders uses cloths to hang around their boots like a tent to protect from sunlight.

Street venders put some of their belonging out on the road occupying the space for the cars, this also causes people to occupy and walk on the road instead of the sidewalk.

Effects of street venders

Because venders put and occupied their belongings on the road, cars are forced to park further onto the road causes traffic.
