Phase 3: Public Interior

The Renovation of Amarin

The Renovation of Amarin plaza consist of adjusting the circulation, interaction among atrium space, stair and escalator, skylight, entrance and outdoor activity. Circulation: As you enter the mall to the atrium space you will first spotted the installation hanging above the communal space with steps seat leading toward the second floor. Then the escalator that move inward the malls to get to the third floor and the escalator that look like it's floating in the atrium space that bring you up to the up floors. As you move along this escalator it allow you to have vision toward all of the space in the center. The renovation of skylight come with the infrastructure for hanging the curtain and its railway. With the installation that change according to the events along the years. Connecting the interior to the exterior, these installation are also being display on the outside to attract people who are walking along the road and from the skywalk from chidlom and siam station.

Plan & Section: connection

The section is showing the continuous connection from exterior to the interior. You can enter amarin from ground floor which is the main entrance from the road and foot walk, then on the second floor from sky walk connection to bts and other malls in the area.

Amarin plaza - Plan & Section

The installation continues the concept from previous phase of ever lasting transformation. Keep the main hanging structure and re-adjust it according to the change of events by adding in or taking out some minor elements like fabric. There are also a ground furniture that will change as the installation above is changing. As these furniture are made to be light and easily adaptable the user can push and move it by them self. The main events include: exhibition, food festival, music and movie. Exhibition come with the repetition of column that plays with our illusion and  act as a hanging surface for artwork that could be display from the first floor up to the fifth making the connection between each floor levels.

Events and Installations

Food festival comes with a playful installation that act as a big roof with many layers spreading out to attract people into the space. With the table and chairs that could spread out in circular for sitting and putting food for sell. Music installation is for hosting the music events with the stage on the ground and megaphone shape hanging above to expand the voice throughout the malls. Last is the move events. The installation flip on the opposite way of music and adding in the thicker surface of fabric to create a mini theater in the middle of the atrium space.

Anastasia Department Store

          At present, our society's world has mainly communicated to each other by phone through the used of application such as Instagram, Facebook or line and etc. which make people get addicted to the social media things.

          Social media is not used only for communicating but also for post something to the internet and get some likes from the others and that's what "Social Media's people" proud. Therefore, this kind of people will leave some of their time to go to the place that trendy in each time.

From this observation, I decided to design a department store that provided spaces for the social media people by created the space to be more attractive through the decoration of itself. The decoration will be constructed on the roof part and created by the light-optical effect that I have already research and study with.

         To sum up, Anastasia's Department store is the space that created the idea of selfie park and has a purpose to appeal people by the decoration of optical effect.

This will be located in between Central Chidlom and Central Embassy to create a new connection area between them.

Our Project

PUBLIC INTERIOR

Site, Development of idea, Axonometriec explode diagram

In this diagram shows the specific site, the property between Siam paragon and Central world. There is a gap of activities in this plot. In the middle of continuous elevated commercial zone in Bangkok. So i would like to create a new walkable space to distribute pedestrian into it and provide the continuity in this area.

Plan

One can move freely in this continuous platform that gradually leads to the rooftop big courtyard.  There are many type of experiences provided along the way to make users more convinced and enjoy discovering  this space.

Section

As the section shown. the slab is gradually goes up with a ratio of 1:20 which is very low that people can barely feel and capable of strolling with ease. There are also shortcut and intermediate circulation to provide shorter path to reach the top.

Taxonomy of platform

There are many type of platform i design to create the continue platform; the circulate platform, the node platform and the shopping platform.

As the building is covered by many type of vegetation. The structure starts to disappear and user will feel like they are staying in a park in the middle of the chaotic city.

PUBLIC INTERIORS FINAL PHASE

Cities in the sky (Final Phase)

The project outline discusses the state of public realms residing within Bangkok’s central shopping district, along the BTS stations from National Stadium to Phloen Chit, from which individual observations will be made. These investigations would proceed to serve as a basis of problem ideation, specific to a micro context e.g. the atrium of Amarin Plaza and the open porch between Siam BTS and Siam Square One, leading to which the project will attempt to respond or mitigate.

Vertical collage & Matrix

Through various examples of civic spaces, sidewalks and pavements (Highline – New York, Superkilen – Copenhagen, Nyhavn – Copenhagen), outdoor open spaces are capable of providing opportunities for public activities. The skywalk between National Stadium BTS and Siam BTS were however much less lively compared to the aforementioned examples, the structure serves purely as a bridge between malls and stations and regrettably requires one to walk through malls to get from station to station. Notably even the most recent structure, right above the Pathumwan intersection, that happen to free up a large area capable of accommodating social and civic activity is unfortunately not living up to its purpose due to Bangkok’s tropical climate.

Map & Taxonomy

My project seeks to capitalize on these available outdoor spaces, specifically concentrating on the skywalk right above the Pathumwan intersection, firstly by vertically intensifying available outdoor walkable space and secondly by creating alternative elevated link ways such as bike paths and sky gardens. These additions are in response to two qualities that the current sky walk lacks, connectivity and civic-social activity. 

Plan & Section

Through vertical intensification, a series of platforms connected through walkways serve not only as activity spaces but also shelter and shade for the lower stratus while concurrently allowing light to permeate through. Alternative link ways are then designed at multiple levels bridging connectivity between stations and nodes, serving movements of different purposes. 

Nodes

One can now stroll along the sky gardens while admiring the skyline of central Bangkok, walk on the elevated paths alike through a marketplace or ride a bicycle from place to place as a cheaper and healthier alternative of transport. My intention is to create an extension of Bangkok’s community, a setting where celebrations are held, where friends run into each other. A space where communities can be strengthened, where people can feel comfortable even when they do not spend.
