Science, mathematics, and technology have been important drivers in Thailand’s development towards a brighter future. This design applies knowledge from those fields to create a building that meets the needs of the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology. Similarly, data, analysis, and simulation were used to create a virtual model to ensure the accuracy and functionality of the design. This creates a comfortable and functional environment for users. The spaces and climate within the building are carefully modeled and analyzed to determine the optimum building envelope and façade for the locale and environment. Modeling was also used to determine the best orientation, height, and location for the building on the site.

 

The design facilitates the practice, study and instruction of science, mathematics, and technology by creating a workplace which meets the functions and requirements of the field. There are collaborative areas for exchanging ideas and working together, as well as flexible spaces which provide for a variety of activities and work functions. All this aims to develop the potential of those working in this field and elevate the quality of work produced.

 

Science seeks to explore and provide explanations for natural phenomenon with the ultimate goal of using that knowledge to ensure a sustainable future for mankind. Thus, the design of this institution’s building is aimed at sustainability. Careful consideration is given to the ecosystem, surrounding environment and climate when selecting the materials used. User comfort in terms of the view and air quality, as well as energy efficiency and sustainable energy sources are also important factors in the design. These determine the allocation of space, the form of the building, façade, mechanical and structural engineering as well as the landscape architecture.
