CHULA PARCRIBBÓN
The project aims to violate the boundaries of Chulalongkorn University which are the fences and walls with a structure that accommodates programs related to pushing the Green Chula identity as well as bringing the experience of being inside campus to the boundaries.
The workshop began with sketches of how members of our group experienced the campus. Most of out experience of the campus happens within the actual Faculty of Architecture and had very little involvement with the boundaries.

This was followed by our trip towards the field which is the main focal point of the campus which in a way determines how the public experience the campus upon visiting the campus during events. From the very center of the field all the faculties and faculties within seemingly disappears and are obstructed by all the vegetation and trees as if the person viewing is within a jungle.
With the aim of breaching the perimeter of Chulalongkorn, the infrastructure must accommodate all existing programs along the boundary of Chulalongkorn including: public bus stops, bike stops, and motorcycle stops and shelter those under layers of vegetation as a mean to induce the notion of the jungle-like campus.

The form of the structure, that is to replace the fences, is a ribbon with its surface twisting/turning/bending at certain areas as determined by the activities occurring along the boundary as well as to avoid contacting any existing trees. Additional information about Chulalongkorn University can be integrated into the surface in the forms of projections and printed displays attached to the surface of the ribbon.
As a mean to increase the feeling of being sheltered under layers of vegetation the surface of the ribbons is to incubate multiple species of tall grasses, hanging plants and bushes.
While the current rendition of the project accommodate programs underneath the ribbon, further development can include leisure activity and resting area on the ribbon as well as at locations where two ribbons meet from opposite sides of the campus and lastly aperture on the surface.
