Po's proposal: "Khaosan Muay Thai Gym"

The first plate shows the normal position of the shophouse. Where the function of the shophouse is the Muay Thai gym. There are two shophouses opposite of each other but of the same function. The opposite shophouse are different in material to give a different atmosphere, where one is more modern, steel and glass, and the other is more conservative, wooden material. This is to aim for a completely different targets, local and foreigner, or to open up choices for the user.

The second plate shows the other function of a shophouse, since both shophouses have the same function, the way to increase the interaction between both gyms, is to conduct an event between both gym, a fight. But as the limitation in space of the site, Khaosan road, therefore the shophouse itself transform to a arena that provide a space for people to come to see the match. The facade transform and the function of the shophouse totally transform. The space inside the shpoouse now become unavailable since their is no need to use it during the match, and only become the space supporting the arena and the fight. The two shophouse connected to form one space, taking up the road as well, then everything around it transform as well, street vendors would form around the arena only at the curtain time.

The two plate composition with a similar way so that when it is on top of another, it will show a very clear image of the transformation, creating a comparison of the two posture of the shophouse.
