Since 2008, Singapore has extend the construction and green space with their design and technologies which now made Singapore is the greenest city in comparison to the other 16 cities across the world. Meanwhile, Bangkok is also one of the most dense cities as well as Singapore. On the other hand, Bangkok has lot less green space per person comparing with Singapore. In order to improve people’s quality life and bring back nature to the concrete jungle, this NEW CONNECTION would propose a new connecting of green space to elevate good qualities for Bangkok city.
The map size of Singapore comparing to Bangkok, the green space of Singapore has 60 m² per person and Bangkok has 3.3 m² per person while the average of green space in East Asia is 66.3 m² per person.
Singapore is given the limited land. To make a better use of their surface land and systematically, they considered how to tap underground space for the future needs. Also with the conditions of the population growth, reclaiming land and weather, they need to integrate the underground cityscape to keep their city liveable and demanding for a better quality life.
To be compare of the used underground space, Singapore has more layered and depth using for their utilities, transportation, storage, and industrial facilities. In order to expand the densed surface of Bangkok city, Singapore underground model is a good example for making good use of underground space.
The mapping of Bangkok in different areas, potential area, quality areas and the new connection correspondingly.
Potential Area - use as a new public space.
Quality Area - keep and expand
New Connection - connecting green space and new public space to expand more green to the city
3 Different zones that the surface space used. Old town zone, Financial zone and the Industrial zone. Bringing the potential functions to underground could expand up the space for more green space.
One of the most potential area could apply to the strategy is around Bangrak District by the Chaopraya River. The Taksin bridge connects two sides of Bangkok together which has one of the most congestions towards the city and also causes a lot of pollutions. Public green space is highlighted on the map in this area, consists of public park and abandoned space.

New public green space is now a new connection to the city.
“Online data streaming is a biggest type of data that people were consuming nowadays and will be increased more further in the future”
The Scenario :
In the near future, people will fully consumption more online activity. Also change their life to live remotely. Thus the data center building which built rapidly will abounded away to the place which we can’t see. How can we reuse this effect of consumption as a benefit?
INFORMAL APPROACH
>Renovated junk space in abadoned data center to use a benefit for worker and clients around their
TRANSITION
>Slowly these actions of invisible consumption will separated connection and awareness of using from people how can we make make pp take attention to this point? How can we decrease the effect of using online data consumption
FORMAL APPROACH
>decrease carbon footprint from process
>bring back awareness from user
future post carbon housing units will then become a utopian approach of harmously 100% carbon free smart house residential
Supar Leh (Super Leh) is the hybrid species with the combinated traits of the past and present marine and human species. This species tend to live in small groups or pairs, since only the few resilient ones adapted and survived the mutation. They are able to conduct the basic communication skills in Thai, limited to listening and speaking. Other than that, they mainly use hand and body gestures in land.
The MRI scan from one of them shows the astounding evolution in their body since their lifestyles are heavily based in the sea, and temporarily based in land, according to the monsoon season. Their spleen has naturally enlarged and the visual part in the brain becomes soundwave receivers for echolocation, in which the implanted receivers are the horns taken from Octobranchus.
Another essential organs found are the salt glands, present in seagulls and certain reptile species. Being able to filter excess salt, these organs are vital to obtain drinkable water from the seawater, preventing dehydration. With the help of the gills, the seawater is able to pass through the skin directly to the glands, keeping the intake up to body requirements.
The scan also shows the presence of two reproductive organs from both genders, meaning it becomes intersexual. The theories to support this is that to keep the species from being extinct, they need to be able to mate and reproduce themselves in limited potential partner numbers, which is one of the adapted features found in many marine and animal species.
The more visible, physical attributes include the change in the skin and body extensions. From the conversation with the species, who called itself, XXX, the descendant of Mr.X. Parts of the skin are surfaced with scales and shells from different species, which act as protective barriers from the high water exposure and potential attackers. The Flowery Flounder’s or the sponge skin, on the other hand, purifies water that, in turn, attracts preys. It then uses the poisonous spikes to sting the preys, eating them raw afterwards. Additionally, for efficient swimming, it starts developing conjoined feet fingers which resemble the feature in reptiles. Another element present is the fin, incorporated from Thin-finned Shrimp.
Used by one tribe of the sea gypsies as the living vehicle, the intelligent original boat is called Kabang. We digged into some very past documents and noticed some very intriguing aspects of it. Apart from the boat having the wooden rib structure, the iconic C-shaped head and tail serve the relevant function and distinction from other boats. It acts as a stairs, allowing people to climb in and out of the boat when needed. Besides that, the spatial organisation consisted of the open plan layout, where they could born, live and die with it -- an indeed advanced society.
ANDAMAN ARCHIPELAGO : Kabang Mai
When they left the land, the remaining of the original boat, Kabang, was the rib structure. However, at that time, it was so polluted that the species started dying. One of which was the whale, who died on the beach with the stomach full of plastics. XXX described that his father, XX, utilised the bones as a secondary structure to form the roof. He also brought some basic everyday tools from land to Kabang Mai. By then, he looked just like us, humans. The three principles required for survivals are then the water, food and shelter, in which his fathers and some companions slowly learned to make use of the tools and adapt themselves. The main process shows from some drawings obtained was the desalination, using the ancient solar distillation method, where the seawater was collected from below, pumped up to the reflecting solar panels that heated it up to steam, then the steam travelled through the condensing pipes with seaweed as cooling devices, and subsequently formed the drinkable water droplets that dripped down to the storage for later use. The salt left behind was then collected. To sustain their nutrients, they hunt the fishes and collect sea items, cook and consume them. The organic wastes produced then went back to the sea.
ANDAMAN ARCHIPELAGO : Leh Breather
Leh Breather is the living vehicle used by Supar Lehs. It comes in the form of a living submarine, functioned as both the shelter and long-distance travelling medium for them. The breather contains the selected elements present from the marine species. Similarly to the body, it contains the Flowery Flounder’s skin which interestingly creates the new ecosystem. The implementation of the skin attracts more fishes, particularly their own species, to feed on and reproduce — and this process causes the boat to rise and sink according to the buoyancy theory in submarines.
A story about an unforeseen number that quietly increases while our own lifeforms decrease
The series of documentary films that emphasize and raise awareness of micro-climate surrounding us through the simulation from collected data. Express the unseen scenario in our daily life and giving a stunning notion of side effect of what we made to city and world.
The films were made base under the theme of knowledge vs data, representation and reality. Rediscover the nature phenomena to extending the analytical narrative of temperature to simplify the unforeseen data into a visible data and
increase the awareness of global crisis that cause by our acts.
