The Leisure (Urbanus)


This project aim to define space for leisure beyond air conditioned realm the shopping mall. The Leisure offers alternatives, additional possibilities to provide urban exterior for public use, appropriating the existing morphology of commercial areas in Bangkok. This new infrastructure is an attempt to create space relation to urban interiors and offer strategic definitions of atmosphere and use.

The territorial map includes the areas from Siam to Asoke, through which the road in the middle is the most important artery of transportation. Most of Bangkok’s known shopping malls are located along Sukhumvit Road, which spatial and environmental qualities have been subject to comparative research and analysis.

The strategy to define identity and atmosphere of new space for leisure has been based on green space for leisure, specifically a selection of gardens and parks in France. Aside of the impressive environmental characteristics, one of the key benefits of green spaces in Paris can be found in their inclusive values which are accessible to people without having spend money. The research has offered a classification of organizational and performative characteristics of elements inside each park. The tropical climatic conditions in Thailand required for a strategic rule of translation along appropriation of this taxonomy within the project.

Due to the fact of site that really small and narrow, I am challenge by not having that extensive open spaces with the selection of my territorial. I apply the grid to the existing space which the grid actually divided the space into many squares. Each of the square defines as a unit that has many types of element as the following example in taxonomy diagram. When each type of unit puts together into one particular area, it creates the atmosphere and also the consequence activities that related to the space. Therefore the Axonometric drawing seems like one of the taxonomy that I apply many different unit in each soi to create several theme to each space.
