ARCH DESIGN V

THE ANTARCTIC SYSTEM

The Antarctic System is a passively adapting architecture that is designed to change by embracing the environmental conditions and through the unique textures imprinted onto each of its individual columns. The project challenges the analytics and visions senses of the human mind through individualistic columns that are designed to stand out from each other, designed to resemble familiar chess pieces to create recalling of forms from one’s memory, and ones that are designed to be different yet similar to each other through the use of textures.

The project inspires from a psychological disorder called Dissociative Identity Disorder in which a personality of a person changes into a whole new identity with only the body that remains. From identities that spurts out to protect the others and the co-existence of multiple personalities within one body that are distinguishable from one another by expression of characters through body language such as posture and facial emotions, the project came to challenge the expression of distinguishable characteristics of each columns through its ‘form’ and ‘textures’ from experiments on simple bread cracks and textures. The main question that consistently emerges is how does the columns express its individuality while trying to remain the same.

Part 3

Another story is the house of the craftsmen do traditional Palaging fabric that was originatd due to the Muslim immigrants from Indonesia, India, and Arab to Haroon community since.

 Pa La Ging (ปะลางิง) fabric was the name of the type of fabric using the handcrafted woodblock, tie dye and hand paint techniques  that has existed in Haroon community. The term Palagin is hypothesized to be deviated from an Indian term Bun Ta Nee (บันตานี). Its origins derives from India from Bun Ta Nee (บันตานี) then changed to Pe La Ging (เปลางิง) when arrived in Indonesia before residing in Haroon as Pa La Ging. Then I came up with the brand and examples of products and patterns they can produce.

 The programs and activities are identified for the Palaging making then being placed into space.

 For the conclusion of this project is to let the change emerges from the immaterial elements such as people’s activities, stories, and their objects. The physicality of architecture became a host and setting for the previous to enrich itself authenticity and genuineness.

Part 2

As the actual stories from the site seems to be quite ordinary and most likely where every day living activities are similar to the outside. With amounts of photo, interviews, and experiences collected at the site, the next experimentation is to invent stories that are unrelated to the existing condition of the community.

The first story I chose is the Halal home restaurant that located on this alley within the community. The story derives from the actual reality where the community has few of Halal food stalls.

For this story, there is a house that offers a home-dinning experience, Dabsi, a traditional cuisine for important occasions hold at the mosque and has to be eaten on the floor with 4-5 people sharing the same tray, however starting to disappeared these days due to the emerging of urban life and spreading of the Muslim community. At this home, people can experience trying this food that once was able to eat only at the mosque on important occasions.

With the process of making Halal food, it is important to know that it’s Halal meaning it went through proper process of making by follow the Muslim laws. Therefore, this home restaurant allows you to schedule to see how food is being made through Halal processes before serving in each dinning session. For example the slaughtering process which has to be done in methods by a Muslim man, not a machine, and the animal that has to be fed with Halal food.

And once the ingredients required are listed along with the processes that are identifies. The manipulation of space is followed. The new circulation path is added to connected organic vegetable gardens, slaughtering area, and a house that hosts cooking and eating session. This is the outcome of space after the story

In searching for the enrichment strategy, I looked into how a successful Auction House and Real Estate Company, Sotheby’s, organize the information on their website in order to enhance the value of artwork and architecture under their supervision. What I found was their content marketing are published in different formats. And being categorized into different subject contents based on how it communicates to the audiences. For instance, Anatomy of the artwork communicates academically. A Life Less Ordinary uses a story telling approach.

Phase 4 - URBAN ANIMAL

After 4 phases of development, my project aims to create an artificial ecological niches for snakes like pythons and areas of mitigation in response to flooding events as well as creating a cooling effect within the space where human and snake can compromise and co-exist within the same space.
