Eighth International Conference on The Constructed Environment

Abstract

This project designs “mixed-use” architecture by learning raw street culture. Since modernity, thoughts have been strongly and strategically used in urban planning and development in ASEAN countries. Many of these cities were managed without people/community-centered design. People have had to adapt their local lifestyle to modern architectural design coming from government or real estate, profit-based companies. This project studies “publicity” design which learns from raw area usages on the street. The project firstly started from streets in Chiang Mai city, Thailand. The methodology uses street photographs to analyze spatial practice on the site. The second session will make a street film for learning “mixed-use” practices on the site. Then, the third session is a design session to study “publicity” by developing mass design. The final session is to finalize design for public architecture which compromises local area usages and existing “modernity based design” cities in the ASEAN city.
