As part of INDA’s occupation of its building in Samyan, we wish to involve students in the development of the existing facilities at the satellite faculty to substantiate Samyan as a maker
space and a formidable resource for design production and exhibition at INDA. The project for the INDA Lab includes the renovation of old and new workrooms, the procurement, production, installation, and storage of tools, and the creation of a training program and new exhibition facilities.

This project combined the tenacity of the director of Dum Yai School, the inventiveness of students and instructors, and the resilience of the construction workers into a 300-square-meter kindergarten. The school is located in a 500-person town in eastern Thailand surrounded by rice plantations, and it provides access to proper education as well as quality meeting and playing spaces. To make this possible, students questioned the brief and the available resources. By clarifying the educational and recreational needs, the group redefined the spatial requirements and expanded the scope from what is commonly requested to what is socially rewarding. The building uses a modular system that can exist as a partial building and can also grow in the near future. It is composed of four identical roofs, which represents an upgrade from the initial budget constraints. Rethinking the construction techniques and aesthetics, students reinterpreted the colorful context and the everyday mechanisms of the extended roof and eaves seen in vernacular and endemic architecture. They manufactured a colorful, easy-to-assemble awning system that increases the area of the kindergarten by 50% with minimal added cost. Beyond the required classroom space, this intermediate space is vital to the everyday social and recreational activities at the school. The kindergarten also employs a passive ventilation system through the use of solar chimneys and uses the tropical climate to its advantage as it blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. By living on site during the construction, workers and students fostered an intimate creative environment that encouraged social bonding between people of different classes, generations, and backgrounds. With city students, international instructors, village kids, and rural workers sharing and learning from each other, the process has proven to be just as valuable as the final result.
As many of you may be aware, the INDA office is somewhat secluded, and if you are unfamiliar with the layout of the faculty of architecture building, it can be challenging to locate. Therefore, there was a need to create a sign that not only helps people find the office but also displays information and student work. A group of students took on this challenge and designed a permanent fixture for the faculty called the INDA PR wall. Situated in the "monk ceremonial area" along the north wall, near the rear stairway that directly leads to the INDA office on the 4th floor, the PR wall serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it establishes a presence and identity for INDA at the ground level of our faculty, offering a visual clue as to the location of our main office. Additionally, it serves as a platform for displaying news, events, and student work, which can be easily updated and changed. The PR wall consists of five mobile panels, each equipped with a pin-up surface on both sides. These panels can be effortlessly moved around and reconfigured to accommodate exhibitions, project reviews, or any other purpose you can imagine.
