Function
Located in the outer skirt of Bangkok, along the fence of
Thammasat University Rangsit Campus, U Square is composed of two counterparts,
apartment and retail. In the wedge shape 4 Rai land plot, the 7 storey
apartment building is placed towards the rear, while 2 storey retail is placed
perpendicular towards the main entrance axis to create the visual exposure from
the frontal to the rear apartment.
Design
The retail building, made out of two parallel bars is defined by
the trajectory of the walkway, inter linking bridge and the orange cylinder
toilet. While the apartment building articulates the exploration to eliminate
the massive repetition, by the zig zag folded form. Aligned the lift foyer each
floor to the space between two bars of retail building.
U Square is the celebration of dynamism. Vibrants with color
