Thu Tha's proposal: "The Transforming Scaffoldings"

First few Ideas

These are the first few ideas of how I want to transform the space. The first idea is to make the advertising electric facades. To be able to change during the day and night. The second idea is to have a skywalk that merge with the shophouse so that street vender and shophouse could have interactions and can benefit both by bringing customers to both activities.

Scaffoldings Ideas

Later, the idea of merging skywalk and the shophouse transform into scaffoldings. This relate to the concept of impermanence where the scaffoldings appear during the night and gone during the day.

After that, I developed a system where the facades are actually the bamboo scaffoldings which can be setting up easily by pulling them out.

The Final Design

Here you can see the changing atmosphere between day and night.

The Master Axon 

This shows the activities and how the scaffolding changes between the days.

You can see the way the scaffoldings changes between day and night. During the day, the scaffoldings act as shelter for the street vendors. Later during the late evening, the scaffoldings changes into an extend space from the shophouse where people could sit and drink from the night bar in the shophouse.
