The project is located within the property leased by the Bangkok Vocational School in Khlong Toei district, Bangkok. It is open to local pupils of the Klong Toei community.
The new open structure adjacent to the existing building provides additional outdoor learning space.
The design of the structure reacts to Bangkok weather conditions by using lightweight material, namely, textile fabric, to provide solar shading. This multifunctional area is now used by primary school students for both educational occupations during the day and leisure communal activities in the evening.

IoT Garden
Advanced Info Service (AIS) established the AIS Design Centre (AIS D.C.) as a new venture to welcome startups and anyone interested in design and creative endeavors. At the entry of AIS D.C., an open area is available for the public to view services and information collected via Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected through the AIS network such as weather, humidity, traffic, etc. AIS sought to explore an experimental installation that could visualize or make tangible some of this digital data while providing some on-site interaction that would encourage physical engagement. This interactive experience would be a pilot project that could possibly be duplicated or expanded upon to include additional kinds of information or other locations in the near future. Students worked closely with the AIS IoT team and the project assistants to design and construct an interactive installation as a standalone object at the entry hall area of AIS D.C. The resulting design visualized environmental data including PM2.5, humidity, and noise from twelve districts within Bangkok through a network of digital flowers in a garden.

Performative Clock
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced more physical isolation due to daily online activities such as Zoom meetings, Google Meet lectures, online exams, and digital submissions. After the pandemic, our social lives may change forever with limited social encounters and gatherings only reserved for special occasions. This may lead to less social interaction and fewer chance encounters which are valuable for a tightly-knit group such as the Faculty of Architecture where students spend most of their time together. Inspired by the giant Ghibli clock in Tokyo, the Performative Clock serves as one of the must-see attractions at Chulalongkorn University, and it attempts to reconnect the community through carefully orchestrated performances that attract the attention of the wider public.
