Transit Orient Development
Chaingmai

financial and Convention centre

From many supports from phase I it can be seen clearly that Chiang mai should be developed to be financial hub of northern part of Thailand for example due to number of flights and people in Chiang mai that increasing year by year, the completion of high speed rail of Thailand that is planned to be finished in 2020 or its own location that is the central of neighbour countries such as Myanmar, Laos and south china.

Research

financial and convention centre

Therefore the area around train station can be considered as the proper place to build financial and convention centre. According to TOD idea around the station should have multi function of building not just 1 type of building so i manage 4 main programs that involve with financial and convention centre which are retail shops near train station, hotels that support large number of people when special events occur, 2 convention centre and financial centre

Plan

financial and convention centre

Every building was built in the same concept to unite the project. The concept of the building is the shape that got influence from landscape of Chiang mai which is highland and mountain then the shape will be stacked vertically to allow more light to get into the building. Entrance was raised to make visitors feel more welcome and friendly to the building and also allow more light to enter in the front. To create more sense of Chiang mai to the building I try to adapt the way local people weave traditional cloth to the roof and facade of the building by perforating them. at the end of each strip it will have more perforated part than in the middle because there are garden and tree under that part so they need more light to grow than living space.

THE PROPOSAL

 Chiang Mai should be the centre of financial hub

According to the high speed rail plan that will finish in 2020. One destination that high speed train will go is Chiang Mai. It's like final station of Northern part of Thailand. Therefore there will be more traveller or people that will come to ChiangMai by this transportation due to less amount of time that use to travel.

This diagram show flight data from ChiangMai international airport that from the year 2008 until now. Number of passengers that use CNX and number of flight that depart and arrive at the airport are continually increasing year by year. Nowadays the airport accommodates 110-120 flights a day. During the tourism season, the number will increase to 130.

Therefore Thailand Government aims to develop Chiang Mai as a centre of Northern part of Thailand especially financial hub.

Convention Centre and Financial Hub

From all supportive topics make me want to develop these area of Chiang Mai to be the convention centre which is also a financial hub. The location is on both side of Charoen Muang Road from train station to the intersection on Somphot Chiangmai Road.

The area of convention is consists of retails, shops and restaurants zone which located close to train station the most. It got the idea from retail and shopping zone at Japanese train station so people can buy food and things comfortably before they go back to accommodates.

the second program is financial hub that include banks, insurance company and cooperate office. The third program is accommodation or hotel that support large amount of travellers. Fourth program is convention hall that consists of grand hall, small event hall, meeting room,  storage room, food court.
