Urban Oasis
2018
Urban Oasis emerges from research into Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, examining how architectural spaces can respond to human motivations across physical and psychological dimensions. The project finds its home in Bang Kachao-Bangkok's "green lung"-an island formed by a bend in the Chao Phraya River and characterized by rich mangrove ecosystems. The design's signature element is its overlapping circular forms, creating a fluid spatial dialogue between public and private zones. This donut-like geometry responds organically to its context, offering 360-degree views while simplifying interior navigation.
The architectural narrative begins by showing how overlapping circular forms create fluid public and private relationships. It then shifts to how an elevated circular path aligns with bicycle movement in bang kachao.
Driven by the idea of a Bang Kachao learning landscape shaped by overlapping circles, bicycle movement, courtyards, and ecological experience, the architecture integrates specific strategies: overlapping circular forms create fluid public and private relationships.
