Introduction
The site we are investigating is an abandoned Railway Network Factory and is located at the next to Makkasan Airport Link Station in Bangkok, Thailand. Initited as part of studio, we are looking at utilising a timber lattice structure to host programmes (i.e open market, civic gathering area) within the spaces as a cultural bonding space.
We investigated the Nine Bridges Country Club by Shigeru Ban as a case study project and found appropiate similarites within the Kagome pattern manifested in Thai culture predominantly in the weavings of carriers and baskets.
Form and Optimisation
The constraints set after the desired form has been achieved is to optimise the structure with the consideration of the wind trajectory (public entrance) and also protection from noise source (nearest to the highway side).
