Arch Design I Phase III
Proliferate : Contemporary Business Futures
Hereafter the process from phase 1 as brand trajectories, and 2 as materiality, in this phase 3 is about to convert the analysis from previous process in to architectural elements, to turn business to architecture.
From phase 2, I have worked on materials of bioplastic and digital screen. The bioplastic is the one that I choose to develop further into architecture proposals for the company I have created 'Rebot'. Since it is bioplastic, the product is about bioplastic enclosure for eletronics device since there is a massive amount of e-waste in Thailand according to statistics from WEEE, eletronics recycling company, which also is my site for the company headquarter.
The sites are divided into 2 sections as industrial site, Sukhumvit frontage, Chonburi, which is considered by the use of large amount of agriculture for plantation for bioplastic enclosure, and as well as one of site that is surrounded by the industrial company. The another site as urban site is at Fortune Town, Bangkok, which is the site for the company store, considered by the popularity of itself as biggest IT mall in Bangkok.
As the company is promoted on using the bioplastic which is the renewable and recyclable material, the factory which produce the bioplastic is also made out of material it produces. The building is cladding by the hexagonal 3D-printed modules, which included solar cell at the top of the modules so that the cladding can be the replacement of both non-recyclable materials and the lighting system at the same time.
The main aspect of the building is to show how the process of manufacturing inside is by sloping up and down according to the form of the machine that produce the products.
In order to have an engagement with the people around the site, the building front is facing to the road, showing to the drivers or passengers who passed the building so that they can receive the purpose of building directly. Moreover, not only receiving through vision, people can visit the factory's learning center so that they not only observe through form but also the information they provided at the site.
The building gives the light at day by its property of semi-transparency of plastic, and also at night by the luminescent of the light from solar cell at the tip of hexagonal modules.
