reinventing functionality

this year wallpaper magazine (thailand) hosted a design competition 'reinventing functionality' for modern lifestyle. so we put our second year students to the challenge (plus maybe someone will win some cash!). check out a selected few of our student's entries below:

***congrats pam (conE-litE) and deer (immorta) for making it to round two of the competition***

workshop - aj. raveevarn

over the passed 10 days INDA hosted 3 design experimentation workshop with guest designers/architects. Check out Aj. Raveevarn Choksombatchai's (prof. @ UC berkeley and principle of veev design, http://veevdesign.com) augmented landscape studio where students explored ideas of unit/field and built this awesome structure out of cone paper cups on display now in the front gallery @ chula's architecture bldg.

design build '08

over the summer a group of our 3rd yr students, with this assistance of aj. komthat and aj. ekaluck designed and built a small library (officially called 'the knowledge hut'). providing a much needed facility for this small, underfunded school in the rayong province. the build time was super tight. i even heard some of the students stayed up all night working on the finishing touches before the grand opening. props!
