In school, I pay most of my attention and energy on research and conceptual framework. Not much on details, materials, and cost. However, after graduated from school and work in several firm, I realized that at least in Thai's architecture firm we do have lots of limitation especially lack of interest toward art and architecture. Art and architecture still view as "Additional / Excessive". As i looked around the recent city that I move to "PHUKET", there are several type of architecture exist here where it's incredible interesting because we have lots of foreigner reside here.
1. shophouse: the most popular type for small city center where they provide small shop at 1st-2nd floor and then residence in the same building
2. Slum area where it's quite interesting because this temporal shelter exist mostly around luxurious residences because 1. it's a place for workers who work at those bourgeois house 2. Rapid growth of the city offer work to lower income people who can't afford much.
3. Luxurious houses and hotel, the tourist attraction which are natural resources lead to architecture development where it offers different level of comfort and experiences. These type of villa exist in the extremely good location where it tend to overlap with nature.
This act cost the question of how man-made object try to penetrate into nature, however, in long term the act become harmful to surroundings and eventually the architecture itself destroy the charm of nature. Economic seem to play a really important in Humanities and of course it's in architecture too!
Most of the time since in moved here, i focused and put the energy into something that is not necessarily require that much attention. In this few day I have time with myself and do what i normally do and realized that sometime work and your surroundings is so influential to your being. I lost a little of everything: ambition, passion, and what i was. Doesn't mean bad things but i would like to sustain that therefore, time to yourself is a must!
