‘The Archive of Ecologizing Practices’ aims to study and fabricate a series of prototypes that embrace specific categories of ecological design. Students have investigated the following categories: ‘Autonomist’ (referring to a system’s independence or self-governance), ‘Subnaturalist’ (elements like dust, debris, weeds, insects, toxic components, etc. that are no longer marginalized but included in the design discourse), ‘DIY and Hackers’ (low tech designs that promote a pedagogy of self-doing and sustainable open cycles), ‘Non-Human’ (designs that accommodate other life forms like animals), and ‘Contextualist’ (referring to heterogeneous, local, and vernacular practices).

Home Is…
Home is…? It is a simple question that can be answered within a second, but there are many factors that influence and complicate the way we answer. A home may be a space for living in a straightforward sense; however, “home” may also refer to the feelings, the people, the objects, or the different versions of ourselves that we feel comfortable with in a more private setting. Home Is... shows the perspective of a gardener whose regular activities and personalities outside the home are brought back inside and reinterpreted as part of a newly adapted lifestyle.

Ban Muang Khun Pottery Community Pavilion
Ban Muang Khun is a small pottery village ten kilometers south of the center of Chiang Mai. There are thirty craftsmen based here, and they produce unique earthenware using their local clay. The village mayor, Mr. Wachira Seejun (Khun Tang) agreed to work with a group of INDA students to build a “Ceramic Pavilion“ for their community to display and promote their products. The project uses ceramic tiles to decorate and cover the structure. Local craftsmen collaborated on the design and production of the tiles. Students visited the site to understand ceramic production and the local context, and to consider sustainable ways of maintaining the pavilion in the long-term. The design of the pavilion was determined through an internal competition and the development of ceramic tile components and a structural base. Students visited ceramic studios in Bangkok to make prototypes which were later mass-produced at a ceramic factory.
