KNOWLEDGE CENTER
The territory of the project is a left abandoned area in the middle of vRatchathewi district where locates next to the BTS station. The knowledge Resource Center, as a communitys living room and being a shared space for people where it holds together private & public mixed-use .areas. In order to harmonically fit into the surroundings, the form .of the building is flexible to the visual relationship that creates to the buildings around. The Architecture strongly builds visual connection inside the building itself and from the building to the context. The Knowledge Resource Center purposes to differentiate the function of floors which makes this building an active .place for a meetings or calm reading and relaxing.

BANGKOK PRODUCTIVE RAIL CORRIDORS

Currently Bangkok City is infected with sprawl and an obsession with cars and is finally became a car-oriented city with a big problem of traffic jam. To relieve the congested road, the city has rolled out commuter train, BTS and MRT as the mass transit alternatives. The new role of the railroad is become the optional transportation mode for people who travel from the inner city to the border districts and also became the interchange to other mass transit. Bangkok Productive Rail Corridors intends to shift the future role and to unlock the hidden potential of rail transport infrastructure to create the possibility for environment and life enhancement.

DESIGN STRATEGIES
Throughout this linear transportation corridor landscape, waste produced from train and urban program, vehicles gas emission and trains chemical diffusion stand out as the critical environmental issue and agencies, major in negative and minor in positive aspect. All of the processes of production ended up with the pressure in climate change and ecological stability of the site that brought the new definition of this experimental platform as contaminated landscape.

The study of different typologies along the northern rail line of Bangkok as the experimental platform, to understand spatial relationship, configuration and operative functions along the site in order to provide the effective design strategy that unlock new programmatic potentials.

The northern rail line from Sam-Sen to Don-Maung station is the projects testing ground of the city new productive corridor, with the approximate length of 20 kilometers and total area of 1.28 Square Kilometers and crosses over parts 5 districts which are Don-Maung, Lak-Si, Chatuchak, Bang-Sue and Dusit.

In the future, the rail corridor will be the main mode of transportation that allow the road infrastructure perform as its feeder. The design strategies will bring the new system, efficiency, effectiveness, safety, accessibility and sustainability to the new rail infrastructure. The rail roads of Bangkok can maintain their performance as communication infrastructure while being a city new productive corridor that produce a city new alternative resource of food and energy which one day will become the main natural resources that able to distribute throughout the Bangkok city.

FORMS OF RECOLLECTION
To experience the past, architecture is valued as a form of recollection. The project explores how a past can be materialized. The fictional lost time (or lost world) that simply disappeared has been chosen as the concept of the design. Here, the F.O.R. invites its users to identify and experience with the time past from an Italian film Cinema Paradiso. The form of recollection recalls the qualities of the stand-alone .cinema house in the 1940s. At that time, the movie house was a community center, a symbol .of the shared public life and shared experiences of films.

Thai-Rock Rama is a 150-seat movie house, built as a communal architecture for a district inSaraburi city. The building intends to make its users sense its pastness through the use of materialand elements on its front facade. A portion of the shale quarry has been carved out in order to become an interactive seating space. The carved stones have been used to assemble gabion boxes to construct the movie house.

MAISON BORDEAUX
The study of Bordeaux House by Rem Koolhaas is a part of Studio Learning from the Masters. This analysis .embarks on an intensive processes of documentation to broaden the understanding about the house design, programmatic structure and the spatial relationship. The analysis consists of two interrelated parts, one is a dissection part, and the another is a comparative analysis.

BANG NAM PHUNG

ECO STAY
Bang Nam Phung, an idyllic site of eco-diversity which the canal centralizes every kind of activity called for an architecture that would touch its nature harmonically. A bridge - like structures spanning and crossing the creek edge. providing experience of canal living and .staying amongst the nature. The design allows the bunk space to be lost among the treetops with its opening deck, the users would experience the living as they blend with landscape. With the dynamic form, this architecture has been arranged functions respond to the context. The canal as the central for all local culture-based activities, allows users to .experience Bang Nam Phung more than a sensorial level.
