Site Analysis:
To continue with the previous projects, the research focuses on changes through time (day - night) at Thanon Chan - Sathu Pradit. It shows that in different time, the number of pedestrians on each side of the street is not equal. In daytime, the side with facades facing north is very crowded, due to the sunlight. While in nighttime, the another side becomes more crowded. The purpose of this project is to balance the site in order to bring out communities, which at last benefit the local people.
Library / Theatre:
On this site of the street, 2 shophouses are modified to be a library in daytime, lighting are used for decoration in order to attract people's attention and bring them to the space. While at night, the facade will be full opened and become a theatre for the customer to come take a seat and enjoy an open-air movie, being projected on the screen across the street.
Restaurant / Residence:
2 shophouses are modified to be a restaurant on the 1st floor. The main features on this building is a big transformable facades that when it is closed, it will be just a normal shutter, but then when it is opened, it will become a shading device with a pattern to create unique shadow underneath. The upper floor is a flying garden and living space. The vegetables grown in the garden can be used for cooking in the restaurant down stair. The projector on the 3rd floor projects movies to the transformable screen on the facade at night for the customers on the other side of the street.
