Didactic Inter-Tides

           A didactic architecture that encourages users to be aware of the ecological significances intertidal species including oyster, mangrove tree, etc , and let them understand the researching and farming processes through different spatial experiences created by level of tidal change.

            A research center, operated within an existing oyster farm, aims for experimenting on the process of oyster’ adhesion and shares all the findings and farming techniques from both researcher and farmer out among local community. As oyster farmers do their harvest during low tide when the oyster is exposed from the water which is the same period of time that researcher also be able to observes the oyster’s adhesion. so, basically, both researching and farming activities are activated by tide not time. Creating a space that is adaptable along with tidal change allows the users to experiences the change of activities along with the tide.

Tapi Urban Wetland

My project proposes an integration of wastewater treatment system through constructed wetland that treat Surat Thani municipal wastewater at Tapi Riverfront area. The riverfront urban wetland not only purify water but also provide public program that benefit the community and becoming a landmark where different public activities can interact with each other recreating new connection and relationship between people and the Tapi River.

Soft proposal : Adaptive Fabric Simulation

    Contradicting to the traditional methods of how land has been protected from coastal

waters using hard edge solutions, the project challenges the possibility of implanting a soft

system strategy for Bandon Bay coastal urban fabric. The project proposes to use 

different degrees of gradient water management strategies to allow for adaptation

and integration of both current urban conditions and on-going coastal industries. The system

would provide new ways people could interact with the water to accommodate for the rising sea level.

Base on in-depth analysis of pre-existing local industry and local lifestyle. The project introduces

a re envisioned urban plan that not only allows for continued existence of urban zones 

on the new water condition but will also be able to maintain and facilitate the  for 

the existing urban behavior by manipulating and redesigning and adaptable urban fabric.
