Ally's proposal: Changing Shophouse

Buddy's proposal: Burst out Shophouse

Kanoon's proposal: Car Hospital (the Chaos Container)

 

From site analysis, the erotic quality of the site, Chiangkong is that the "Overwhelming Chaos" within the area. As design objective to keep this quality, I came up with the Design program: Car Hospital

The Car Hospital consists of 3 main units,

Front Unit

Main objective of designing Front Unit's facade is to "contain chaos" and keep it within the space inside (hospital units). This facade is aimed to create a shock space when observers get inside.

The facade's design is derived from Shrine (modernized) as to achieve one of the objective is to "bring back the origin" from the original Chiangkong Shrine in Talad Noi and also acted as shedding device.

 

 

Waiting area for the customers

Clinic Units

Similar to Human's Hospital, Car Hospital also consists of many units operations.

• Bodywork
• Engine system
• Electrical system
• Audio and Sound
• Interior
• Brake and Suspensions

which each units required different tools, different spaces, for example, Bodywork unit requires a paint booth, also Engine system Unit and Brake&Suspensions Unit need car lifts within the units.

 

 

 The erotic quality of the space is derived from my previous project, Erotic Art Installation, as to give the feeling of overwhelmed by being lock in the narrow space and feeling a lot of things from above.

 

Parking Unit

to store fixed cars and hand over them to customers afterward. This unit requires technical parking system which is adapted to fit in the existing shophouse structure (check this link for more information).

"PINK" proposal: "Imagitainer"

Thai's proposal: Green Communal Living Modular

As this project derived from the previous projecto of the 'erotic site analysis', which the erotic quaility within my site is the way each people within the site participate and intimately interact with other people around them. Through, the act of sharing; either spaces or objects between each others.

However, from my observation of the site, there are no any existing of the space in which people can interact with each other properly, especially, for the people within the community themselves. Therefore, from my obervation; yet again, that the site has lack the green space; I have design to turn the shophouse into an 'Green Space' in which people can properly interact with each other ; and yet, promote more interaction between people and give benefit to both the community and passerby....

Analysis of the quaility of the shophouse and its space...

As I started the project with the quaility of the shophouse and the 4 x 4 x 3 m space within the shophoues and how this space can turn in the the unit of the single shophouse and the modular system of the design.

The modular unit of the shophouse can then turn into many different communal single space unit

Then this modular unit of the shophouse can be turn into different and unique communal living space for both the community and passerby; and then each units can be combine to form larger space and can be place anywhere within the site; as it is one of the great advantage of the modular system.

The abstract combination of the modular units.

Prototype of the combination of modular for smallest unit of the shophouse, which is  one.

The idea of the main atrium and open space.

As I develop my project furthur, the one idea that strick my mind in the idea of the 'main atrium' with in the space. As this element would promote visuality for all the space and blur the bounday of the space within one building and trun it into one whole space; which then would promote more interaction between people, as I give them oppotunity of see other people activities...

The idea of main atrium integrate into three units of the shophouse.

Then moving on to the final stage of the my project...

The possible floor plan combination of one unit shophouse

The Master Axon for one unit shophouse 'Communal Green Space'

By adding the vertical screen structure, is the derived form the first project; which is also about the participationg and interaction through the act of sharing. However, is the idea or sense of ambiguity which will allure people to interact with other. As they would only get the glimp of the activities within the space, and would be force to enter the space if they would like to know more about the activities and interact with other people.

Exploded Axon of the floor plan and elements of design.

The research on the facade element and the rooftop graden floor layering

By adding the element such as the hydroponic system the space and become more interactive and benefit to the community, as they share their product and activities.

Research on the supporting structure of the rooftop garden.
