Tomorrow will be a big day - a meeting between all the parties involved in the project: Regent International School, Baan Leam Thong School, the local authorities and so on. Unfortunately, I, as a representative of Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University and all(zone) could not make it this time. Most likely we will try to be there next weekend.<br />

A lot of problems with the construction, since Phi Phi Island is not the easiest place to have labourers as well as construction materials. But it is still rolling on slowly. Thanks to such as strong commitment from Khun Poo, Jantima Kulkrit and Paul Crouch of Regent International School as well as the Round Square people. Here are photos of the construction at January 2012.<br />

It does not mean that the construction has not been going on, it has but rather slow pace in comparison from the beginning. However, the second half of 2009, we got more funding mainly from <a href="http://www.roundsquare.org/">Round Square International School Network,</a> with many school participating on the actual construction.<br /><br />We also received some supports on the water facilities from American Red Cross based in Krabi (Thanks to Khun Pu, Jantima, who has been working very hard on this).<br /><br />Last December, we visited the construction site and here it is the latest development of the construction:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAY7MX5uYHDzXFND4DbGlkzbAnrQr4Gfq0g0oSa_SlwuLMSsYuaLcCwrlmNfRg37w7062M1pVLqbPCf37bCf16GCjoyMbqCwFO6t1o-H6b57ed2cZpRiD2ZxeOSXLtWT4X1c8LjqtT7s/s1600-h/site0912_06.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAY7MX5uYHDzXFND4DbGlkzbAnrQr4Gfq0g0oSa_SlwuLMSsYuaLcCwrlmNfRg37w7062M1pVLqbPCf37bCf16GCjoyMbqCwFO6t1o-H6b57ed2cZpRiD2ZxeOSXLtWT4X1c8LjqtT7s/s400/site0912_06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428073856292205442" border="0" /></a><br />From the last report we made all the columns on the ground level.

Strange enough, all the hotels around did not know the existance of the project, some staffs of the hotels did not even know the existance of the school - very strange indeed. The students went around to the hotels (Phi Phi Natural Resort, Zevola, Phi Phi Erawan Resort and Holiday Inns Resort), asked the hotels to hand out our PR materials to the guests who might be interested in supporting the project.

This time the main purpose was to begin the construction. Somnuk and Tatiya, the engineers from CM One who is our great partner on the project, came along with us to see the site.<br /><br />The task of the first day was to check properly the condition of the site. Although during the workshop last August, we already did the site measurement, it was not 100% accurate. Then we had to find a proper way how to put the building into the site without cutting any big trees.<br /><br />We discussed on the site, how to place the building.. Joe and Ta came to join us from Phuket where they are doing internship.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJhPrxIwiBLD3351RlXjTiDoDfG3kzv-fCtr9Z7deByTD0gW74g7bvOYV4QtZhAvwrsDL5tLQVLDxv9H46yEuqT6WXu-Y7KcxJf6MzCUbuuv-WiLQxKHE5WedbcVvLO-ghUMmQN9AlHsA/s1600-h/atthesite01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJhPrxIwiBLD3351RlXjTiDoDfG3kzv-fCtr9Z7deByTD0gW74g7bvOYV4QtZhAvwrsDL5tLQVLDxv9H46yEuqT6WXu-Y7KcxJf6MzCUbuuv-WiLQxKHE5WedbcVvLO-ghUMmQN9AlHsA/s400/atthesite01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181529556553378610" border="0" /></a>Working, working and working... as you might imagine, it was insanely hot.

So that the school could gain back the open space. But I have to check all these with Ministry of Energy if we can do anything with the panels.

He is a contractor who usually works with Phi Phi Natural Resort where the school is located. He also has quite an interesting background. First he came to Phi Phi island working as a chef, then after the tsunami in 2005, he turned himself into a local contractor restoring the hotel and then the area around. He also used to work abroad as a chef in Mongolia and Turkey.. :O<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialZ84z8iJLhudYojXzVa677Umh1A87vO43W8Nj5la0S-FivMXsTVKgYDYmGWbgIuCv-8e4kr6D-j1IZG8pbrI8_eU7JoyJJeWisW3RInvFae3GbTyA42fRtn36zMrRg0b6wKHIM1UotM/s1600-h/atthesite02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialZ84z8iJLhudYojXzVa677Umh1A87vO43W8Nj5la0S-FivMXsTVKgYDYmGWbgIuCv-8e4kr6D-j1IZG8pbrI8_eU7JoyJJeWisW3RInvFae3GbTyA42fRtn36zMrRg0b6wKHIM1UotM/s400/atthesite02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181529560848345922" border="0" /></a>On the second day, finally we were able to define the gridlines and the level of the site.

Usually the food on Phi Phi Island is very expensive and not so good because of hyper touristic development, we are very lucky to have great and cheap food everyday. Thanks to Khun Pu.<br /><br />As you can see here, Ta and Joe are very happy with the fresh squids just got out from the sea given to us by the contractor. His staffs go fishing everyday.

Imagine, very soon, the model will be enlarged 50 times... that will be our building. :) We are very excited indeed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeyFalqNc0MEaa-l7ObImVpRCIeBAtX8U5oW2FgSU0K5T-X-wsuJ38aaffX7BdLoFvxXys6B8orlVdl-KWn0gz_6H-pV9Us7DgTSGUXA4mgvWfn4Kz8SBI08Gv0wkcU-EkMV7N1laX3ac/s1600-h/model01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeyFalqNc0MEaa-l7ObImVpRCIeBAtX8U5oW2FgSU0K5T-X-wsuJ38aaffX7BdLoFvxXys6B8orlVdl-KWn0gz_6H-pV9Us7DgTSGUXA4mgvWfn4Kz8SBI08Gv0wkcU-EkMV7N1laX3ac/s400/model01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181528392617241234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmuM5zuWQHqHurNHunGRG3LRROirX__-syFAKDAIGFsr1byodTjPXRhnCVRf8iV_C-uXtPVFuMHjVDBtVbK3x0LbmR9PHf6R0NOT_8ec-nry9V4Y5jCS71oXTsYpinYU5wQemv1Hn7N3k/s1600-h/model02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmuM5zuWQHqHurNHunGRG3LRROirX__-syFAKDAIGFsr1byodTjPXRhnCVRf8iV_C-uXtPVFuMHjVDBtVbK3x0LbmR9PHf6R0NOT_8ec-nry9V4Y5jCS71oXTsYpinYU5wQemv1Hn7N3k/s400/model02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181528396912208546" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1XSIUiN75FMuiuvjQhimEJRpOjFQ3ai-Fs7s30StLRSh4OS2OrfQkcXxq2TcR9UISzRegoE9N1QYVFvtLb2MYqq4Rjuc7duJfYNESGYmtDCwxXhjlfYcYY0-ZMq9sm9Y00n90IGtyS08/s1600-h/model03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1XSIUiN75FMuiuvjQhimEJRpOjFQ3ai-Fs7s30StLRSh4OS2OrfQkcXxq2TcR9UISzRegoE9N1QYVFvtLb2MYqq4Rjuc7duJfYNESGYmtDCwxXhjlfYcYY0-ZMq9sm9Y00n90IGtyS08/s400/model03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181528396912208562" border="0" /></a><br />Finally, on the last day we were there, about 50 people of Regent International School and Bermuda School for Girls teams began working on the site.

Acutally besides the design (which I am in charge) and the general management (Khun Pu Jantima from Fah Diow rules), we have Paul Crouch, a senior teacher of Regent International School in Pattaya working hard on fund raising from international communitry of Round Square International School Network. Paul also presented the our project at Ronun Square meeting in India last October. Many international school around the world expressed their interests in joining the project. Very great job, Paul.<br /><br />A big step forward of our project was last month. When Paul and I went to Krabi for one day to set up the project's bank account, so that we can have the donation money from the international school.<br /><br />Here we are having a meeting at Fah Diow Foundation headquarter after setting up the account.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL5WIK_HVpEf8Wen27ELMs6GwFOL8LKgISH6oKR4I-HJRIllYBg5CkAhGMxXCSYMcKSJ7HGNQT_tH7gxLemwaXcKgqwL2aaYtomMt98tVylfOi3f_E61sV1iAvpejo00PweGppkQtQ3k/s1600-h/accounting01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL5WIK_HVpEf8Wen27ELMs6GwFOL8LKgISH6oKR4I-HJRIllYBg5CkAhGMxXCSYMcKSJ7HGNQT_tH7gxLemwaXcKgqwL2aaYtomMt98tVylfOi3f_E61sV1iAvpejo00PweGppkQtQ3k/s400/accounting01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181523560779033170" border="0" /></a><br />If you are interested in supporting our project, here is the account details:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bank: Government Saving Bank, </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Branch: Krabi</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Address: 27 Udtarakit Road, Tambon Paknam, Muang, Krabi 81000, Thailand</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Account Name: Baan Leam Tong International Community Resource Center</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Account No.: 09-7201-20-103297-7</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">SWIFT Code for Euro: CITIGB2L</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">SWIFT Code for US Dollar: CITIUS33</span><br /><br />Please let us know if you are interested in joining us.<br /><br />:)Rachaporn Choochueyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13858746719723452079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644979083842530077.post-63113526526314412742008-03-25T01:16:00.005+07:002008-12-11T11:35:59.347+07:0018 Working on Design Development PhaseAlthough we did not update our blog for about four months.. it is not that nothing has happened. In fact we have been working very hard.<br /><br />After we finished the final presentation of the six schematic designs, the only team left with us are the six guys of the 4th year: Joe, Meth, Zing, Ta, Hin and Benz. We chose the Hammock scheme as the main design to be developed. Since it is the most compact scheme among the six, so that we would not need to cut more trees. Then we applied the idea of water tank and water collector from the other two schemes. While we still use the idea of semi-outdoor space under the trees. Many other ideas in every scheme were reconsidered and some were applied.<br /><br />We had many brainstorming sessions during the past few months..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dtb0bXYbPXUyk_gPT8iXPDL9HSlm2LUIQB6yCtfi1j8qHsoT363pyGNAXJozblSNJ10x8dZ1wl4Yhmcs5NJINE2PPrOYATrdgrS6YLhw15whFx8tvGR2R3iImqgd4yVCCe0frv1VJ6A/s1600-h/designdevelopment01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dtb0bXYbPXUyk_gPT8iXPDL9HSlm2LUIQB6yCtfi1j8qHsoT363pyGNAXJozblSNJ10x8dZ1wl4Yhmcs5NJINE2PPrOYATrdgrS6YLhw15whFx8tvGR2R3iImqgd4yVCCe0frv1VJ6A/s400/designdevelopment01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181374143161772514" border="0" /></a>Pan kindly gave a construction drawing class for all the kids.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxPMzzJeOZMvSbpJxLVDqj0TRU75apXHvOYMIuW5Tyt74epKfhyphenhyphenC5xwwBpv-r1Tnr0NtUmB7_kG4YhBQAOPnRTBYcQGKgpLJA_bLUSkMcUWjPdLfHOyXFqXO7yAWv45lp-eAD_a_x_cU/s1600-h/designdevelopment03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxPMzzJeOZMvSbpJxLVDqj0TRU75apXHvOYMIuW5Tyt74epKfhyphenhyphenC5xwwBpv-r1Tnr0NtUmB7_kG4YhBQAOPnRTBYcQGKgpLJA_bLUSkMcUWjPdLfHOyXFqXO7yAWv45lp-eAD_a_x_cU/s400/designdevelopment03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181374151751707122" border="0" /></a>This is more or less the model of the design we use as our main design.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUg-kO2Pbn6Qxk1W3VTK8pu0Dxh7Tpw6cPVVwgQczeRTn4yPJqpHZnzaMALgJy1DFlj_taj-bgDw2VavNNVejrKxqp591JiU19S4W8lOf7m-RJm6I84BGmUDZCVUKRCA9HiRWvoKR1nIQ/s1600-h/designdevelopment02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUg-kO2Pbn6Qxk1W3VTK8pu0Dxh7Tpw6cPVVwgQczeRTn4yPJqpHZnzaMALgJy1DFlj_taj-bgDw2VavNNVejrKxqp591JiU19S4W8lOf7m-RJm6I84BGmUDZCVUKRCA9HiRWvoKR1nIQ/s400/designdevelopment02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181374160341641730" border="0" /></a>Then we began to work with the engineers: CM One.

First they were facinated by this idea that sand can filter, and transform dirty water into a clean one. Their quite ambitious idea was then, to make a building that could produce and collect clean water to people. When they were at the site they were not able to scope down their idea yet, as you can see from the one to one scale model is still not so clear - something to play with water.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1H50fQ61w_7bfDaPfK4C5iigPPV4AepB4FgSVfHzbd3fT3d2quNuFSulRzDBOwSoBw2h_Pcgjesx8I9OZ5xEirvUeHwU46AGjfVvaVGxxH1MV-CWzVVNXMlU8HtXul1DVecd8j809C6Y/s1600-h/filter03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Because of its ability to transform quickly a space and its function with a very simple act and technology. Moreover, it also signifies something relaxing and friendly. However, they accepted that the degree of temporarity and flexibility of an actual building is not actually so simple. There for they divided the project into two parts: the most compact building that houses the necessary interior functions (or when it rains), then the outdoor plateforms and roofs that would act more like a hammock. In the conceptual model you can see that the 'hammock-like' part is a kind of extension of the building into the trees.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjb_arMWVlXbvR4nD_ZOWRVuZUPYzhYLbmE1N2XkrxXlMoSMbQ6KX4Wfmb1wrX-D2ynn_K8fA3YnRcNrdAcBkwFD44iVfwmH4lxljjwtZ7BvJYAAi-HWFUeh86Ex1mfxqYRjeKsEd_Q1Q/s1600-h/hammock11.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjb_arMWVlXbvR4nD_ZOWRVuZUPYzhYLbmE1N2XkrxXlMoSMbQ6KX4Wfmb1wrX-D2ynn_K8fA3YnRcNrdAcBkwFD44iVfwmH4lxljjwtZ7BvJYAAi-HWFUeh86Ex1mfxqYRjeKsEd_Q1Q/s400/hammock11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136479859012539154" border="0" /></a><br />Their working models when we were at Phi Phi island.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcSKiTNK81Qdus6_XfmgzqBF7R8ds9H5xJ9zD4H0BQwZV3KXOCmfbBqNGrSN5R-l0tY_uPzxSVbYU0LxWHSkZuPy3RFrUJXrUHk53s-Q3xuaIUwFZ8072qyJs5jg9MBZD1WEwX80NPRU/s1600-h/hammock01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcSKiTNK81Qdus6_XfmgzqBF7R8ds9H5xJ9zD4H0BQwZV3KXOCmfbBqNGrSN5R-l0tY_uPzxSVbYU0LxWHSkZuPy3RFrUJXrUHk53s-Q3xuaIUwFZ8072qyJs5jg9MBZD1WEwX80NPRU/s400/hammock01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136480348638810914" border="0" /></a><br />Their one-to-one-scale model was simply made out of two sheets of canvas brought randomly from Bangkok but they could communicate pretty much the idea.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmyIkqp6mlia3aTU4epLrXxpskU3XzsH62xiFP_3b7osn5gvNAbvbc4etbUuOaOfmVxHnEaCbJlqX7Fm4gh4JdJGpmB21H7oVYLDIiAZzzhAyAVMhV4yNKLkfx535gevmueaKOBUKfco/s1600-h/hammock03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmyIkqp6mlia3aTU4epLrXxpskU3XzsH62xiFP_3b7osn5gvNAbvbc4etbUuOaOfmVxHnEaCbJlqX7Fm4gh4JdJGpmB21H7oVYLDIiAZzzhAyAVMhV4yNKLkfx535gevmueaKOBUKfco/s400/hammock03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136480352933778226" border="0" /></a><br />The building is very compact, only one building. It takes advantages of the contour of the site that the main space of the building is extended from the main access from the school field which is higher than the left part, so the left part can house the functions being stacking into two levels - the lower part is kitchen, toilet, storage, the upper part is the bedrooms for the guests.

It is very nice and pleasant - they believe. Their idea is to create the space between the trees usable for some outdoor fuctions without too much interruptting the terrains. And then they want to have the building in the area where there is not tree at all, and create the building space similar to the space in between the trees.

When the rain water falls from one level to another, it could create a temporary wall. Also water tanks could be part of some walls of the building. Here are their study models.

And then they want to have the building in the area where there is not tree at all, and create the building space similar to the space in between the trees.

We told them to scope down, and choose what they liked the most to work on.

The building should be something that activate the new zoning and circulation system of the school and should be able to grow out of the existing school seamlessly. They wanted to also work on 'the seams' between the school and the building by creating an space where the boundary would be blurred by some common activities.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc8nvti56Iej3gC_9iYVva5NgX4vMKcvjnB5sES8doH4CXDJj04LfAD1sVpZ1U5XC7KE2TtJhPR91Bu9l0wlNjLVVDLBV11V0EZaGMY62_N7iI_BbMlKG99cG1nLP2SfC9sDQOQVHGXgY/s1600-h/route04.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc8nvti56Iej3gC_9iYVva5NgX4vMKcvjnB5sES8doH4CXDJj04LfAD1sVpZ1U5XC7KE2TtJhPR91Bu9l0wlNjLVVDLBV11V0EZaGMY62_N7iI_BbMlKG99cG1nLP2SfC9sDQOQVHGXgY/s400/route04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098100283841517682" border="0" /></a>Their one-to-one-scale model was very interesting.

Hammock</span></span><br />Joe, Hin, Toey and Pao were interested in the idea of a 'hammock'. Because of its ability to transform quickly a space and its function with a very simple act and technology. Moreover, it also signifies something relaxing and friendly. However, they accepted that the degree of temporarity and flexibility of an actual building is not actually so simple. There for they divided the project into two parts: the most compact building that houses the necessary interior functions (or when it rains), then the outdoor plateforms and roofs that would act more like a hammock. In the conceptual model you can see that the 'hammock-like' part is a kind of extension of the building into the trees.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0T1DEbLYOpN0Y3NdN9kihTYD3P2wONmueUZdcUXpUskQTsGZwMgb-woJbQywZXcZAnGTMEDOUOf-3mRybVcxONUy8F6zgpwEJf0iCL6hHiyOiuCXRDC42iClOm6IEGqRzUGlGkyYhqTo/s1600-h/hammock01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0T1DEbLYOpN0Y3NdN9kihTYD3P2wONmueUZdcUXpUskQTsGZwMgb-woJbQywZXcZAnGTMEDOUOf-3mRybVcxONUy8F6zgpwEJf0iCL6hHiyOiuCXRDC42iClOm6IEGqRzUGlGkyYhqTo/s400/hammock01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098099764150474690" border="0" /></a>Their one-to-one-scale model was simply made out of two sheets of canvas brought randomly from Bangkok.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjktifYgH6gSIsb0zQbw4qEYfu2Ri7d_EcPnXZXGHj7qb5Ol_gW_aUR5doSmntxj-iDfGbZ6ZIuiSLiWE7S1tofdGKvwYLt0eI4An9U2HsBN57OULiH7qZsj1EoRMoIc1TOwa-1PZcFSaM/s1600-h/hammock02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjktifYgH6gSIsb0zQbw4qEYfu2Ri7d_EcPnXZXGHj7qb5Ol_gW_aUR5doSmntxj-iDfGbZ6ZIuiSLiWE7S1tofdGKvwYLt0eI4An9U2HsBN57OULiH7qZsj1EoRMoIc1TOwa-1PZcFSaM/s400/hammock02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098099768445442002" border="0" /></a>Because of the slope of the site, some of the roof is an extionsion of a plateform.. you can use the space under or above.

For a floor, you don't need to make a foundation, and very little to distube the terrain.. and also you can move the floor, if you want. Also the sand bags could be also some wall if needed. This wall could be also water dam at the same time..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-JBYqqxwYSslW32oeDGBkn5TDuDv5ymueQWLbA1DmgiRyQc0mbBKM-P0IV-ndwdu13QeJf5ODieeT20IBU1t5Vq_gnGEBFkE6PQaKuDi1WghreKpEX5STUSpBFSte63-bxWzh10jhigo/s1600-h/filter02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-JBYqqxwYSslW32oeDGBkn5TDuDv5ymueQWLbA1DmgiRyQc0mbBKM-P0IV-ndwdu13QeJf5ODieeT20IBU1t5Vq_gnGEBFkE6PQaKuDi1WghreKpEX5STUSpBFSte63-bxWzh10jhigo/s400/filter02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098099545107142546" border="0" /></a><br />The one-to-one-scale model was more a representation of their idea with available materials like the balloons.. However, they tried the real sand bags on the floor and found out that it was not as simple..To make it working properly they might have to design their own sand bag and the way to put them altogether - it is quite exciting actually.

Every evening we had a common review, and during the day we did a lot of group crit to develop the idea.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvvRcssO-bH20Ed0auwnLclbv7S2pSWrCcMaBPIscx75aKdQqXccO9Kt9c-6dEr9nbZc2UaTote6o5Tcum4T6lyD69BEq0Wps-LaLuvZVv165_6TLQ21gwpUcfjXbJIMZf6-7SYLZ0fo/s1600-h/jury01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvvRcssO-bH20Ed0auwnLclbv7S2pSWrCcMaBPIscx75aKdQqXccO9Kt9c-6dEr9nbZc2UaTote6o5Tcum4T6lyD69BEq0Wps-LaLuvZVv165_6TLQ21gwpUcfjXbJIMZf6-7SYLZ0fo/s400/jury01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098097346083886946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidM1qVN0qMwje9lfF93vaZ3KMoktJufipORCO3FXTGUXPNsctYgCKoatn9YepfBjw6h847Xp53JPRwipOZcmZqbMT-B2y_vItbe2fqCdigTzph0rzdm_ddc6TGlqpbTdAYavMogKyb6y4/s1600-h/jury02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidM1qVN0qMwje9lfF93vaZ3KMoktJufipORCO3FXTGUXPNsctYgCKoatn9YepfBjw6h847Xp53JPRwipOZcmZqbMT-B2y_vItbe2fqCdigTzph0rzdm_ddc6TGlqpbTdAYavMogKyb6y4/s400/jury02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098097346083886962" border="0" /></a><br />The one-to-one-scale model was a new thing to the students, it was the first time in their life that they had a chance to do.

Plus they did not go to school, so they are not able to read and write. Some of them try to make a living by collecting garbage.

They walked all the way to another bay where there are two small villages, although mainly the whole area is resort hotels. They also rented a long tail boat going around the tip of Leam Tong. (Soon they will update their report on this blog).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9_gd5UtVpBhL7otQBsAjU1rchXalfu_71IsSab2ffv76uqvApT7i5008l_FPEsaxL4i-1JWL9WX2y8n0tArl36DLrrrrjIYaC8lWfdanuGDj4dv-WDbF2iCcnEogFNBhw2koVdrRkXdk/s1600-h/29july_13.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9_gd5UtVpBhL7otQBsAjU1rchXalfu_71IsSab2ffv76uqvApT7i5008l_FPEsaxL4i-1JWL9WX2y8n0tArl36DLrrrrjIYaC8lWfdanuGDj4dv-WDbF2iCcnEogFNBhw2koVdrRkXdk/s400/29july_13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095854922183808370" border="0" /></a><br />The second group, Paan, Joke, Kwang and Bee went into the village to understand the community: how they live, their problems, the physical environment of the village.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8fa5C7enxvKvwlHfnJ-ZsgZgcWdkiTXPnMXRO1I9ZfWoWDrfDAuRPh6cnqfn1oHniQHuAp78yO_kHhHB9bt5Tf8456QjY2ZdlyoUaH_sXjh1n_NkEQoST1qmnJsjlVvIOeW33vZcoeng/s1600-h/29july_14.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8fa5C7enxvKvwlHfnJ-ZsgZgcWdkiTXPnMXRO1I9ZfWoWDrfDAuRPh6cnqfn1oHniQHuAp78yO_kHhHB9bt5Tf8456QjY2ZdlyoUaH_sXjh1n_NkEQoST1qmnJsjlVvIOeW33vZcoeng/s400/29july_14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095854926478775682" border="0" /></a><br />The thrid group of Pao, Toey, Joe and Hin went around Phi Phi Natural Resort where we stayed.

Since our group altogether including the supporting staffs from Fa Diow Foundation was about 40 people, the ferry company got a ferry exclusively for us!

Actually we still have few more lessons we had before we go to the island that we should documentate on the blog, but we are now still very excited from the trip and the workshop. So let's get through it before we forget the details!<br /><br />We started our trip on Friday 27 July...Some of us flew in the morning to Krabi, some (including myself) arrived Krabi in the evening, while the rest took a night bus from Bangkok and arrived the next day in the morning...<br /><br />The day was not much. We went to have dinner on the street venders next to Krabi river where it used to be a ferry pier. We had some local 'Kanom Jean' - some kind of Thai noodle with curry source in southern style, extremely good indeed.<br /><br />On the street vender area, we found this intelligent solution for the canvas canopy of a noodle shop - to keep it from the very strong winds by the bottles of water! Simple but intelligent.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAKioY-U64TwWoy2vF4Pn4WqAMJGwLUvCS9Wjg4GUKlUtjWh2msyTbznc9kNEnTmXr9-FtLA7PdSHHpTwg2CXkxbdbfMzPLSh3ZJtY0L0Mgazx6HtmWQh70rBAigTSJ7qPaGTttAu8yJ0/s1600-h/27july_01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAKioY-U64TwWoy2vF4Pn4WqAMJGwLUvCS9Wjg4GUKlUtjWh2msyTbznc9kNEnTmXr9-FtLA7PdSHHpTwg2CXkxbdbfMzPLSh3ZJtY0L0Mgazx6HtmWQh70rBAigTSJ7qPaGTttAu8yJ0/s400/27july_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095478266436850594" border="0" /></a><br />Then another vender, he served hot and cold dessert in a cup that big enough to be a bowl...something in between.

How green is the green?The class begins with the movie: <a href="http://www.climatecrisis.net/">An Inconvenient Truth</a>.

Well, we all agree that Al Gore found something very nice to do after his presidency and the truth he shows us is breath-taking. However, he is a politician, still. The way the movie presents the 'truth' somehow is very political - we are not saying that politics should be out of our issues, since we all live in politics, whether we like it or not - but the approach makes the 'serious issues' Gore wants to communicate to the audience weaken somehow.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWz_xJXx4fqAoEtI2s5E5kLcvqwBTEhkx9q0tGU4KxO8maNaLoylYwxH9bJofT0QjOdg8CMKNpmYGwvuyl61Q7awu36aX2X-5kiBNwuqY2hVRj4oRbGBRRdCNBoBZb5ML3elsmyD1NNZU/s1600-h/greenarch02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWz_xJXx4fqAoEtI2s5E5kLcvqwBTEhkx9q0tGU4KxO8maNaLoylYwxH9bJofT0QjOdg8CMKNpmYGwvuyl61Q7awu36aX2X-5kiBNwuqY2hVRj4oRbGBRRdCNBoBZb5ML3elsmyD1NNZU/s400/greenarch02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086618625976743906" border="0" /></a>Also, once after some miniutes of presenting 'the incovenient truth', Gore always goes back to his family history, which I personally find it very boring, and did not add much to the main topic of the movie.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSTcEv8uW_EKTolRZBH4tV4BhCc7gCk9aiIk_pt1hSkYYExdrZcVmrN1S1Ks_abIrCIP-M0jlBtYxuHEP7sixk3UTUtJAAFLCX3017hIjL1Elqma-8ABCDWLyT4GRBnN62PotGAC0fKA/s1600-h/greenarch03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSTcEv8uW_EKTolRZBH4tV4BhCc7gCk9aiIk_pt1hSkYYExdrZcVmrN1S1Ks_abIrCIP-M0jlBtYxuHEP7sixk3UTUtJAAFLCX3017hIjL1Elqma-8ABCDWLyT4GRBnN62PotGAC0fKA/s400/greenarch03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086618630271711218" border="0" /></a>The most memorable scene in the movie is about a poor polar bear swimming and finally drowning into the melting ice in the north pole area.. it is very emotional scene. The students also comment that after seeing the film we know that the world is getting hot, the global warming is now, but then, what we can do pratically is not clear. So my next assignment for the students is: <span style="font-weight: bold;">One practical proposal to make the global warming cool (down). :)</span><br /><br />The next discussion is about green architecture or sustainable architecture. The terms are quite widely used and became very popular in the recent years. (I am not an expert on the subject at all. ) However, we understand that green architecture or sustainable architecture is a concept of a building that concerned the environment especially ecology system, not to harm the environment or harm the least...<br /><br />One of the popular approach in this environmentally friendly architecture that can be sold very well in Thailand is 'energy efficiency' or 'energy saving' in architecture. :O However, we end up buying 'hi-tech' and fancy materials and equipments from abroad.. We are not sure here if it is really sustainable in our context here in Thailand and especially in Baan Leam Tong. Already in Baan Leam Tong school, they built this solarcell electrical generator system that get broken very often that finally it does not work any longer and became a kind of weird statue in the middle of the school. According to our environmental architect consultant, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Atch Sreshthaputra</span> (a very good friend of mine and also a professor in our school) the solarcell system requires very high maintenance, and usually does not work in a very remote area. :(<br /><br />So the approach I give some examples to the students is the one that focus more on an 'intelligent' way to use local materials in 'sustainable' way - <span style="font-weight: bold;">sustainable economically, socially and also culturally</span>. :)<br /><br />Aunpama Kundoo is one of our heroine here. She is an Indian architect who builds a lot of very interesting experiments - how to use little concrete in her construction because concrete is not environmentally friendly materials at all. She gave a lecture in Chiangmai at ARCASIA meeting 2005 on the subject too, very interesting.<br /><br />For example this vault structure is built by using a self-support structure of small terracotta flower vases putting togeter.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi61VuqNHxVYBZUORXmsADCvZyKIwRmictzdIKGKYx5ox38xRQQz-NkjMlaAC807LPaGMnbgaMOoWEJzQWRDf5yLbFkEbz2f-FvCuBDhUi7GKeT0s9y__Dqk1PVnGLQDPSNROTkCk894Ds/s1600-h/anupama01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi61VuqNHxVYBZUORXmsADCvZyKIwRmictzdIKGKYx5ox38xRQQz-NkjMlaAC807LPaGMnbgaMOoWEJzQWRDf5yLbFkEbz2f-FvCuBDhUi7GKeT0s9y__Dqk1PVnGLQDPSNROTkCk894Ds/s400/anupama01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086618372573673378" border="0" /></a><br />The concrete floor that use also terracotta bowls as a mold and supporting structure that finally left in the floor, to use little concrete but the strength of the structure is the same.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgFUi-CotUvEJOWnOXTsUxE_VR1wAc4MyeSI8CGqyDqFwOPlzFnvuE7Vz_LsgYFqRht_dglmBgt8j9ypjRlL6qXtL534USp26xkatwnyqSHvvZxs4WqY8MmZx4F07_dF8aIx5ZjBWwDo/s1600-h/anupama03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgFUi-CotUvEJOWnOXTsUxE_VR1wAc4MyeSI8CGqyDqFwOPlzFnvuE7Vz_LsgYFqRht_dglmBgt8j9ypjRlL6qXtL534USp26xkatwnyqSHvvZxs4WqY8MmZx4F07_dF8aIx5ZjBWwDo/s400/anupama03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086618376868640706" border="0" /></a><br />Another very exciting project of Anupama Kundoo is this Fire House.

Unfortunately, it is another 'Architecture Without Architect'...again. It is a small temple in Srisaket Province, called<span style="font-weight: bold;"> วัดล้านขวด</span> or literaly translation is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Million-Bottle Temple.</span> The buildings in the temple are built from empty bottles of beer!

He might not be catagorized into this so-called sustainable architect.
