Relative Humidity seems to be the word we usually see in the physics class or science related topics, but to be honest it is even more near us then we really think. It itself might seem as something intangible or only can be determine when its in extreme climate conditions. It has always been around us, it is an important factor as it has major effects on human health and earth climate.
Relative humidity is a percentage of water vapor in the air that changes when the air temperature changes. As air temperature increases, since air can hold more water molecules, its relative humidity decreases. When temperatures drop, relative humidity increases. Hence, temperature directly relates to the amount of moisture the atmosphere can hold. Humidity itself doesn’t change, it’s only by the effect of others that change it.
With many measurements and tests of data collected, temperature, pressure and relative humidity became the primary information that is to be proceed throughout the project. My objective is to let audience know the different type of humidity that we rarely see by our naked eyes and difference of each by themselves as they move through the spaces. An experience which usually people would ignore or don't come across.
Shaping Rural Territories through technical farming
Embracing Technology + Revival of Well beingness
My project is an investigation on what the future farming and rural enterprises holds, moreover how generic it could look in context to my site in Khaoyai. This project isn’t to solve problems, making goals or making revolution but it is to speculate based on the revolution of agriculture. Since the agriculture is becoming more automotive, making it more efficient, with the use of robots, temperature controlled climate/environment and use of led lights.
By embracing the technology use of led, for example, it could increase the growth of the plant and its vegetation. With this technology, growing conditions can be controlled including the climate, the water, nutrition and the light. In the light spectrum of light the pink (blue+red) is the most effective. In vertical farming, water is re-used making this system very sustainable for water usage (more than 90% on water savings). No pesticides or other chemicals are used because there are no external influences getting inside the farm and everything used inside the farm is sterile. Accurate control of the climate allows crop growth in the best conditions. So instead of farming with adapting to farm in a vertical form with led lighting could be an option for a better future, with benefits on both health and the economics.
Advantages
Increase in food production (Faster growth)( increases production efficiency)
Accurate Control (Best growth conditions)
Water saving more than 90%
More compact
Optimize costs
Latest technology provides accurate progress on the plants
We need to imagine how this revolution is going to reshape rural territories + revival of well beingess
Since the vertical farm is controlled with latest technologies without any further help from the workers. Re purposing the left over land to provide those jobs and social equality environment (garden forest) to be closer to the nature and to give space back to nature to increase biodiversity. Instead of occupying large space while farming, the vertical farming reduce the amount of space that is normally used by replacing it with the nature itself. So, the farming will be locked up in its container, with garden, forest surrounded with variety of plant species and wild environment. Because there are no seasons inside the farm, the yield per year is the highest of what can be achieved compared to other ways of growing crops. So I designed to have three to four different types of farms, which each is purpose for a specific type of season fruits. For example, one farm is just for the plants that grows in the warm season, so all the crops in this farm are all tropical crops.
Moreover, my site is located in Khao yai which is one of the well-known area for both pleasure and leisure activities for both tourism and locals. Many people go there for its well-known relaxation and calming atmosphere. People who go there seems to have forgotten that Khao yai is also one of the most activities of agriculture that is taken place for the whole country. With the analysis information that I have, digging further into the data I have collected, the idea of combing the well beingess and rural territories to emerge together in order to promote both of them.
From what I have mentioned above, the controlled climate for each type of seasoned farming, is separated accordingly as seen on the plan. The whole activities are situated in the climate controlled where the programs are as mentioned.
In this phase we are given a brand or a company to research on or analysis on its object or output.
We as students have to come up with 3 design elements which later will be converted into architectural space and etc.
I first started my analysis with logo, products, advertisements, customer reviews, techniques and materials which will help in decision making of design and business. My brand is an active sportswear.
In the phrase we have to design our own habitat in our given plots. As my group master plan is living units relation with a mountain, I design my habitat to have the characteristic just like a mountain. First, I divide the living areas in three areas, the semi public, the working area and the private. This is to provide privacy to the most private place of the habitat.
The first phase of this project we were challenged to make our own concepts of infrastructural and site specific limits and connections throughout the subsequent scales of the neighbourhood - district, street and plot. We were asked to include the open space, green area, water bodies and living areas.
The last phase of the project I will design a device for street vending through the production of drawings and models. My design is based on the observations and conclusions from phase 1.
