Final Model

Model 02

Model 01

Concept: แยก (Separation)
Visual effect: Pulling
Description:
By meaning, seperation is to create an interval between two objects. The two units seemed as if they were joined together (living and working.) My idea is to separate the two in order to increase the effieciency in either places by pulling - just like cheese!

Site Analysis

The site is interesting and should be somewhat inspiring. My site analysis would lead to concepts of housing design.

KEY WORDS from Site analysis:

- White: the pale color of the buildings

- Flat and hard - feeling and horizontality of the existings

- Surrounded - the site is surrounded by blocks of buildings

- Block and Depth - the walls are very close to the street area and thus create dynamic layers



Furthurmore;

The CIRCULATION DIAGRAM: show how there is only one way in and out and how the site was left ifnored

the SUN - WIND DIAGRAM: show the orientation to sun (house facing West) and the preferred wind from the South.

the NATURAL DIAGRAM: illustrated how the plantations are seen only to the Southern areas of the site






This is then used in Conceptual Model of the ignored site.


The keywords develop into the ideas of depth and "push and pull" of the layers.
