To all,
I recommend that you have a look at the great work of the graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister.
And i have a question for you... what are you currently using to compose your plates? do you know how to use Adobe InDesign? would you like to have a tutorial?
You should all be starting 3d modelling now - i recommend Rhino (take the tuesday class! it will help you A LOT)
Pimmy
structural experimentations by
Frei Otto
Buckminster Fuller
eccentric structures in architecture - a book which will interest you
Robert Maillart bridges also
For a building technology , i would recommend fiber glass to you
reminding the Royal Albert bridge, with a contemporary strategy - Mutsuro Sasaki's work (engineer)

Prompt
It might be interesting for you to explore the relationship between nature's growth and (sacred) geometry.
Here for an introduction.
+absolutely fantastic drawings by Macoto Murayama - example s
also - a naturally optimized 3d truss!

Have a look at the monorail in the film Fahrenheit 451 by Truffaut! maybe a good idea to propose a new monorail as wel...
And please post your research on the blog! Aj. Fredrik is very curious about it.

AJ ' Camille I have been searching all over Chulalongkorn University, and had found a spot where they would dump all the unwanted stuff. I am now trying to put these un use resources in to my vernacular design concept. And i would also like to know the website you told me to look for on the washing machine. thank you.

Pae's new proposal
dear, aj camillee
I'm now getting back on track to focus on what u suggested since our last pin-up :) Therefore, with the multi-function bridge, i decided to have it able to conduct several activities but all events are due to light! The bridge will have many functions but each activity and circulation on different time of the day is different depends on time, sunlight, shadows, etc. This way i can focus and dig deep on one thing at a time.
Please leave me some comments and references to look for
Thank you, Pae
To all, a reminder for next tutorial:
- NAME of project
- layout and design of A2s
- PRINT FOR TUTORIALS (smaller than A2 for now...)
- study models + sketches (for both, all media accepted!, computer/manual/collage/montage/pencil/charcoal/ink/oil/threads/origami/wax/resin/etc.)
+ individual tasks as discussed yesterday
(ref for Plug / shelter / idea for cloth and architecture / search more!
and for Noc, a very interesting artist, Vik Muniz (i could not remember his name during the tutorial!) + really, get the book Fictions by Borges)
... interesting interview about High Line project
The final is in 3 weeks - start hyper-production now!

Question
Dear aj Camille
What do you mean by 'passive energy production'
I have googled it and there seems to be nothing on it ( as far as I'm concerned)
Is it the same thing as 'passive solar energy'?
I don't think you have covered this topic during the comment section of the review
Regards,

comments from the review
Dears,
Although you should all from now on take your own notes during reviews (or ask a friend to take them for you, or again record your session in order to analyze it later),
i will for this time give you a summary of what you have to improve and in some cases, ideas on how to move forward:
Prompt
- the way you present should now be accorded to your interests
- work on the idea of growth and its multiple interpretations and aspects
- inter-connectedness (networks, roots etc.)
- further study of these trees and parasites behaviors
- more case studies--- explore the blog thefunambulist and search accordingly
A
- more information on the radius map! ZOOM IN and enlarge - be more curious and exploring!
- from now on, relate your investigations to your theme (art production and display in Bangkok)
- all ways of moving/seeing/interacting on and around the bridge could be envisaged
- make better and specific use of your case studies (more research is needed in relation to your topic)
Pimmy
- yes it would be interesting to develop a project through structural experiments but you have to explore the possibilities through their meaning and implications (individual, urban, social, political... levels)
- think also of processes of construction (and deconstruction in our case!)
look for example at the Sagrada Familia by Gaudi in Barcelona (research)
- translation and manifestation of ideas into structures and (de)construction processes
Jul
- you are being way too shy and reserved when presenting your ideas!
- get more info on the monorail - contact the official company in charge if needed! - we need to know their plan for the station etc. - pursue your research
- interaction/influences/conflicts... between the monorail and your bridge project should be explored
- a science fiction project? ... write down and draw your scenario
Mark
- what does "vernacular" mean?
- idem for "sustainable", historical, educational, commercial ... (really try to give your answer, your point of view)
- draw, write, model ... the blurred vision you seem to have - even (and especially if its manifestations appear to be contradictory)
- what about providing space for spontaneity? for uselessness?
Dream
- map out Bangkok bicycle
- what could be your appropriate site? how far could you influence the city and citizens?
- passive energies production?
Plug
- architecture can be seen as an extension of our bodies, the same way as clothing is a protection (and much more since it then merges into becoming an identity, a social code etc.)
- look at the work of Philippe Rahm architects (climate-based), especially the way they represent wind, temperature, humidity, smells ...
- here you seem to be interested in the idea of SKIN - if so, go further - look at architecture using fabrics - at fashion design and its technologies
- to complete your site analysis also, observe people clothing here, the way they react and adapt when it starts raining, being super sunny or other climatic phenomenon - document all this precisely
Pay
- swiss-army knife... other analogy maybe? find your own inspirations
- what programs/activities can you here propose? (a lot!)
- think about the possibilities of having different states of the bridge through time (hours, day/night, seasons, holidays etc.)
Tyre
- you need to improve your diagrams and have them fit the data and subject you are talking about!
- why an X-shape? from where(s) to where(s)?
- circulation and suspension - relation between those two concepts? how does a structural system influence your proposal? what are its advantages? what else could you use?
- shorcuts is an interesting idea --- what are shortcuts?
- what are the existing networks and structures you can link your proposal to?
Noc
- where is the rest of your research gone? as we discussed before, you do not have to use it but think about it again... would you be able to draw something out of it? i am sure it can somehow help you
- you still have 2 main topics: view and movement - how can they relate and work together?
- have you ever heard about the idea of a cinematic architectural promenade? look at cinema vocabulary and way of thinking about space and time
Maybe you would be interested in Eisenstein's writings about montage and architecture - find your own interpretation of course!
Aj B mentioned it during the review, a reading is assigned to you for this semester,
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. Please get the book and start reading it - select a few stories (one or several) that particularly interest you.
We will be able to discuss them in tutorials - Friday or next week.
Ultimately, they will help you writing the scenario of your project.
Best of luck!

Site analysis : chulalongkorn university history
A picture of Chamchuri 1 building. Estimately before 1960. It shows the existence of the street isle and 3 car lanes, these indicate that there was a renovation of the road by shortening the street isle to create more lanes.( 4 lanes each side in the present)
This picture shows the existence of the bridge without roof and another two bridges.

Project Zero
As the world population has been increasing, the way we perceive things is so limited that we somehow overlook the reality or what has been happening to the world in the mean time. We should rebel our mind and take a deeper look into other people's lives because our perception of reality is not adequate to deal with the global problems of the overpopulated world nowadays.
This collage portrays the aspect of the problem with an emphasis on African society that most people often overlook. Aid has not been provided enough in order to help them suffer less. The red water in the cracked earth represents water scarcity and also blood from the killing. The cloud made of umbrellas, rather than providing protection, is firing out bullets in depiction of the war. The healthcare helicopters are not giving enough aid save lives of diseased children. Poverty is illustrated as a man trying to catch a money butterfly as they're flying away.
Prompt's Case study and further research
"The Living Bridge"
Started constructing by "The War-Khasis" which is one of a tribe in Meghalaya in India.
At least 500 years old now.
Considered to be one of the most sustainable bridge of all.
What I am interested in this bridge is that this bridge itself is living.
This means that it is now growing, bigger and bigger overtime, strengthen itself which makes it very strong.
The "Rubber Tree" is the main construction of this bridge
Scientific name : Ficus Elastica
Native to northest India and Southern Indonisia.
The same specie can also be found in Thailand, but will not be as strong as the above.
In wilderness, this kind of tree can reach up to 60 metres tall, with the stout trunk up to 2 metres diameter.
