Reinvigorating Urban Under Space:Towards A New Type Of Public Landscape, Yujia Wang, Gandong Cai
Reinvigorating Urban Under Space:Towards A New Type Of Public Landscape, Yujia Wang, Gandong Cai
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
The proposition of this paper is to examine the agency of landscape in subverting, energizing and reinvigorating a specific kind of deserted space in cities - Urban Under Space. The term Urban UnderSpace refers to residual infrastructural spaces, such as under-bridge space, abandoned subway stations, air raid shelters, etc. The wide availability and continued generation of Urban Under Space in cities that were investigated in North America and Asia reflect a problem in modern planning. But it also provides an opportunity of positioning these piecesas a network of new urban landscapes that can offer a unique and attractive public space …

'Public' Prayer Rooms Of Contemporary Bangkok, Winyu Ardrugsa
'Public' Prayer Rooms Of Contemporary Bangkok, Winyu Ardrugsa
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This paper investigates the exclusivity of Muslim prayer rooms found distributed throughout urban Bangkok. Although the prayer room can hardly be considered domestic, its existence is not really'public' either. Increasingly, this little worship space is accommodated in some public facilities owned by state organizations and private corporations. In this paper the prayer room is examined in three interrelated scales: the geographical network, the placement of the room within a facility and the interior. The examination reveals inscribed body-place relationships which are conceived specifically to different projected images of each place and different social categorizations of Muslim users.

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Old communities in Rattanakosin, a historical center of Bangkok, have been the model of a vibrant mix-use urban area where residences, temples, schools and local retailers are clustered in close proximity.The Rattanakosin area has distinctive spatial characteristics hardly found in other areas of Bangkok; small urban blocks, a dense grid network for pedestrian only, and a large number of Buddhist temples well integrated within communities. The mapping of space usage reveals how local inhabitants, as well as tourists, interact within a series of public open spaces. How this interaction differs at various times and activities are in fact spatially related. …
