The location assigned for this project is the Ratchawong - Din Daeng area, the site included both side of the Chao Phraya river which leads to the focus of finding connection between both community.
Aim: Community base project, design to upgrade the community, preserving and advancing
Analysis of characteristics of both community
Ratchawong
Highly economic base area- used to be Thailand’s center of economic activity
Historical temple and chinese culture
Disorganization, invading public property
Lack of community and green space
People are more aggressive
Din Daeng
Highly domestic area- economic activity happens to serve local people (informal)
No physical landmark, local don't acknowledge the value of this place
Invading public space with domestic purpose, unorganized? A sense of comfort within community- forming gathering space in front of their house
People are more open-minded and friendly
Conflict existed within area: City proposed bridge to be build across Ratchawong pier and Din Daeng pier. Causing conflicted opinion between both side of the river, for the problem differs for both area. Community base project, other stakeholders opinion were not accounted.
“ Problem of the city is NOT the problem of the community ”
Prior solution proposal to the problem
Pedestrian bridge, decrease the scale and add local functions
No bridge, improve the ports and promenade side river
Research more to choose which proposal is a better fit solution for both community
