Located in the suburban area, the Kave Town Colony is going to be a new masterpiece that promises to redefine suburban living in Thailand.
Nestled strategically near Bangkok University, without adequate facilities to support them, this new Colony was established to be the campus community for supporting the activity for all users.
To tailor our design to the variety of personalities, we utilized the MBTI framework categorizing users’ personality types in four dimensions: Extraversion / Introversion, Sensing / Intuition, Thinking / Feeling, and Judging / Perceiving to identify different user characteristics in each faculty of this University.
All 16 personality types have been categorized into 4 groups: Explorer, Diplomat, Sentinel, and Analyst to transform this unique character to be the landscape design for determining their goal, interests, and preferred activities.
From the diverse lifestyle of our users, we merged various elements into the project where different lifestyles coexist harmoniously. Our design concept revolves around the idea of oxymorons, blending contrasting elements to create something unique.
In the differentiation of each group's distinctive personality traits, various functions are incorporated to create unique patterns according to the activity styles. But people always change their thoughts, perceptions, and feelings at any time, after determining the zones for each group, we then seek connections to bridge the gaps and showcase the individuality of each divergent group. The iconic bridge was created to be the center of this project, serving as a link to connect the diverse characteristics of each group.
More than just a physical link, it symbolizes the integration of diverse personalities and spaces, bringing together different dimensions into a collective unity. Through the oxymoron concept, the bridge design was created a structure that stands out yet feels balanced.
This approach ensures the bridge reflects the energetic and diverse spirit of the young generation. With repeating geometric modules, the oxymoron bridge creates rhythmic space with subtraction modules to add variation of space. More than a connector, the bridge invites users to interact and promoting new social connections.
Through innovative landscape design, this project redefines urban living, offering residents an unparalleled experience that celebrates the beauty of diversity and the power of convergence. The Kave colony will be the coexistence of all groups without compromising their individuality but creating new things to live together and be in balance.
