iCANTEN, FACULTY OF ENGINEERING
CHULALONGKORN UNIVERSITY
The box building that I have chosen
is iCANTEEN at Faculty of Engineering in Chulalongkorn Campus. It’s renovated
from previous canteen which is burned in 2010. Architects wanted to bring this
canteen as functional as eating, meeting, and good example structure for
engineering students.
Shape of
the building is designed similar with surrounding building as box. Most technologies
of this building is raw materials such as steel, mirror, and reinforced
concrete show how they modern which have effect to interior condition.
When I sat near the edge areas of
building, I feel hot and poor ventilation. Even white masonry wall is designed
for getting wind, in fact, it’s not. The height of each floor with mirror façade
as opening make interior get sunlight too much.
The sectional perspective with sun
path and wind diagrams shows which area get sun shading too much and how the
wind ventilated to building.
Architecture becomes cool building
without experiencing and organizing space, like quality in architecture. As a
result, student just won’t sit that areas and use electric fan. Architecture design
cannot control everything even through there are calculated the context.
