Unboundary

2019

The Unboundary project challenges conventional architecture by redefining the concept of communal spaces. Located within the abandoned Phra Khanong Rama Theater on Sukhumvit Road, this transformative design reinvigorates 4,700 square meters of dormant space into a hub for cultural exchange and public interaction. Drawing inspiration from the diverse urban fabric, the design employs porosity circulation, allowing continuous integration of insiders and outsiders. By combining spatial permeability with the principle of community watching, the space becomes inherently safer and more inclusive.

Visual flow reveals how porosity circulation links insiders and outsiders through the old theater, while also highlighting how community watching turns everyday presence into spatial stewardship.

Unboundary

The core concept centers on a Phra Khanong community project that turns an abandoned theater into a porous cultural exchange between local residents and public visitors. This is achieved by ensuring porosity circulation links insiders and outsiders through the old theater.

A Community Building With Open Edges

"A Community Building With Open Edges" is the closing idea for Unboundary. It brings the project back to two design moves: how porosity circulation links insiders and outsiders through the old theater and how the project reactivates a dormant building without erasing its urban memory.
