The Possibility of Parasitic Architecture for Adaptive Residential in Urbanscape: A Case Study in Bangkok, Thailand

Abstract

The idea of function and efficiency in the modernism era cause architectural style to be static and hard to change in big scale in the future. But world situation is constantly changing. According to PaulCrutzen, humans now enter the Anthropocene era, one of the reasons for climate change and natural disasters. The research shows statistics with meaning that, we could predict the up coming nature disaster might be flooding, while the current residential architecture model is not support the flood. The research hypothesis is, it should be better to prepare new typology of residential architecture that support in normal situation, disaster time, and also recovery period. The research is in three parts: 1.What is the big impact in the future that could change the way of life? 2. Typology of adjustable pattern in vernacular architecture and informal architecture around the world. 3. Scenario prediction of emergency deployment in in literature and movie. The research method includes literature review, case study analysis, categories data, and scenario prediction. The result end up to a solution of a parasite architecture. That can separate itself from the building. Moreover they still have the ownership in their unit, were able to escape the disaster and to restore the separate host buildings. As mentioned above, it can be concluded that Parasitic Architecture is one of direction that has potential in applying used in the design. Because it can a change the current architectural style to survive and still be modified and restored in future situations.
