The teams for the research phase are:
N & ONG = events / activities / programs
according to the different calendars (year/month/week/day)
+ rituals / habits / conventions (in Chula and in Thailand generally)
PUN & GRACE = the façade
history / evolution / periods / design references of this particular façade
the relation of the public/the students to this façade
other examples / comparisons / possibilities
+ exploration of the meaning of a façade
TON = comparisons of thresholds
in Chulalongkorn University
in other schools of architecture
EIAB & GENG = usages and behaviours
present / past / + other possibilities
circulations / networks
humans and animals
ENN & GOLFE & SHANE = the faculty
internal organizations programs & structures
identity(ies)
existing expressions of this identity today / in the past
BEST = existing physical conditions
physical survey / materials / vegetation
the strip + behind the façade
AMY, FA and CHERRY, please write your topic and/or the team you wish to join (TON and BEST are still alone).
In addition to that,
7 students (Grace, Fa, Pun, Cherry, Eiab, Ton and Shane) will work on a physical model at scale 1:50 of the road (from the edge of the football field) and the faculty (cut through the middle of the courtyard),
and 7 other (N, Geng, Best, Golfe, Amy, Enn, and Ong) on a digital model of the entire faculty, from which you will export the drawings (through a proper drawing software like Autocad of Illustrator) of the site (elevations, sections showing the entire faculty and the road, plans and axonometric projection).
This repartition is an indication, you can change if you wish, the only important thing is that you organize and divide the work between yourselves.
Start working on this now, these models should be completed by the end of next week.
For this new project, taking into account from last project that you need at least one week dedicated fully to presentation before the final review, the analysis phase will certainly be reduced to 2 weeks, concluded with a general group pin-up.
Therefore, do not waste your time!
Good luck to all for this new beginning.
