Students constructed a pavilion made with metallic frames and scaffolding, covered with fabric surfaces and crafted model units. The pavilion itself is a geometric, material, and spatial manifestation of shared stereotypical ‘Chinatownising’ forces: an inhabitable red and gold folie or a purposely architectural cliché. Once inside, a trans-territorial ‘Chinatownised’ world is represented through edited videos on multiple screens. Moments, public rituals, and private objects from Yaowarat are displayed; then, with the contribution of a network of friends living in various international Chinese communities, students accurately and playfully paired them with similar but geographically displaced settings. This series of crafted mutual copies highlighted invisible cultural clashes and subtle aesthetic overlaps. Welcome to the realm of authentic replicas.

Bioda
Bioda is an operational facility designed to provide easy access to anyone interested in working with bio-based materials. It offers a range of fundamental tools and ingredients that serve different functions at each stage of the fabrication process. At Bioda, ingredients are locally sourced and ready to be transformed into bio-based materials prototypes. More than just a workstation, Bioda represents our vision for a world where bio-based materials are the norm, the classic, and the preferred choice for both people and the planet. Our mission begins with designing and building a unique workstation that is versatile and accessible through the DIY construction method. The workstation showcases the integration of multiple materials systems, including an affordable IKEA shelving unit, custom design with ENVIRO board (a composite board made from discarded milk cartons), and handmade Bioda tiles.
ReSALA
A collaboration was formed between the students and Cornell University, specifically the Cornell in Rome Program. This collaboration took place during a workshop focused on "Small Public Pavilion Design/Urban Furniture." The design project revolved around a lakeside site that featured an existing sala structure, which had been poorly utilized and fallen into disrepair. The objective of the workshop was to reimagine and revitalize the underutilized sala structure, transforming it into a small public pavilion that would enhance the lakeside environment. The students worked diligently to develop innovative design concepts that would not only restore the structure but also make it a functional and inviting space for the community. By combining their creativity, architectural knowledge, and understanding of urban furniture design, the students aimed to breathe new life into the lakeside site. The collaboration with Cornell University provided valuable expertise and perspectives, enriching the workshop experience and fostering interdisciplinary learning. Ultimately, the workshop served as a platform for students to explore the potential of the existing structure and reimagine it as a vibrant public pavilion, contributing to the enhancement of the lakeside environment for both locals and visitors alike.
