Proposal :
The project aims to promote Bang-Kra-Jao port and nearby community to be a tourist attraction for its conservation agriculture area along Chao-Praya-river. The existing site is lack of identity and organization of space, disorganization of vegetation on the pathway and promenade.
It is a port that provides additional boat taxi which will connect the Chao-Praya-river to the local canal, by doing this it will create a route for tourists and locals to access to their destinations with a different mode of transportation. The tourists will travel by this canal taxi to big holiday market inside bang-Krao-Jao with the much better experience of traditional Thai culture. The port also serves a community Boat making center, to create a job for the local and at the same create an identity for the port as it is the conservation site.
Design
I am interested in exoskeleton structure in animal, where it would support and protect and animal body, with this structure it would create a continuous space with no interruption of the columns. The Dragon fly’s wing has inspired to adapt as the structure pattern, the way that the structure has the main supporting beam and transfer loads to others branches.
The pattern of the DNA has been used for the pattern of the porosity. The idea of using it’s as a pattern inspired from its structure of double helix. With the DNA, it could a symbol of life and the preservation of plant and green space in this area. The arrangement of the pattern is according to the light quality that would require for different programs in the port.
