Architects and designers realize that new buildings cannot completely replace old buildings in the process of urbanization in the world. To establish a method of the new building and the old building coexist and to create the new paradigm of the new building construction in the old district is the responsibility faced by the contemporary architects. This paper first analyzes the old building renovation projects in Berlin and Paris in the 1980s and puts forward the symbiotic relationship between the old and the new buildings in the new era, thus obtaining the research objectives, trying to redefine new buildings and old districts, and creating the new paradigm of contemporary building construction in old districts. Using workshop as an exploration method, this paper conducts data research and sampling analyses on the Chinatown area in Bangkok, and explores the combination mode and paradigm transformation of new buildings and old districts in the city, aiming to seek solutions utilizing art exploration.
Towards a new perspective of pedagogical approach and constructive criticism in art practice based education, the investigation is focusing on Malaysia-Thailand contemporary art & craft jewelry in academic area. From the traditions of national craft heritage the jewelry, silverware and metalwork is now a day almost lost its conservation to their modern people and its community. The Jewelry is representative of national artifact of high crafting. It passes through present where number of contemporary art objects and lifestyle design gadgets are already dominating new behavioral to society. From this perspective, the different between lifestyle and culture can shape up concept and identity of contemporary jewelry. Where the traditional elements can still remain in somewhere with us! Many academicians, designer makers are working and try to modernize these national prides which obtained the traditional implicit knowledge and local wisdoms. The art and design education also concerns this matter by raising many cultural topics involved into curriculum. It becomes a subject that students can reflect their role of preservation or expression on their cultural contents. The cross cultural perspective of rising perception of the author on contemporary jewelry education between Thailand and Malaysia has begun in 2008 by the invitation of Department of Fine Metal, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malaysia. The UiTM invited a staff (author ) of Department of Jewelry Design, Silpakorn University Thailand, as an external assessor for final year student assessment. The participatory research occasionally began from that point under the pedagogical framework. Observations, interviews, critics on student artworks, were the main activity process that both of students and staff of institution also interacted according to the process of assessment. Definitely, the differentiation between the students’ outcome of jewelry project in Malaysia and Thailand are obviously divergence. However, the traditional ornament of each country and cultural influences also be noticed that have been frequently inspired in students’ work. The constructive criticism was always the core discussion during the students’ assessment and exit meeting with UiTM department members. During year by year, there were number of improvements can be noticed not only on the students’ outcomes but also the academic relationship through collaboration activities that create among two institutions.
Temples have been important in Thai society for over 700 years. When the Sukhothai Kingdom (1238 -1438 AD) was the capital city of Thailand. The great King Ramkamhang had been accepted Theravada Buddhism to be the strongest religion in the land. Later Lanna kingdom (1296 - 1558 AD) was founded in the mid-13th century by King Mangrai. Indeed, King Ramkamhang was friends with King Mangrai, and King Ngam Muang of Phayao Kingdom (1094–1338 AD), it is possible Theravada Buddhism had been introduced to the kingdoms during the reigns of these three Kings. Indeed, the Lanna Kingdom has accepted Theravada Buddhism to be their religion. Until 1894, Lanna Kingdom combined with Siam Kingdom which is the Rattanakosin period (1782 AD - present). Throughout history, temples have become an essential part of Lanna and Thais’ lives. At present, some Thai Lanna temples are not only functions for performing religious rites, but also, they become central for Lanna and Thai communities. Temple (“Wat” in Thai) is a sacred architecture. Moreover, there are ideas to decorate inside temples with arts. Wattana Boonjub (2009) points out that Mural painting is used to teach (Lanna and) Thai people in the past. For example, Wat Phumin, Nan province. With beautiful Lanna architecture and exquisite Lanna mural paintings, these are intangible heritages. These unique characteristics have invited lots of people to visit this temple for years. Therefore, Wat Phumin became a tourist attraction that creates revenue for its community. Johan Galtung (1980) gave the definition for “Self-Reliance”, is the strategy for development to be financial independence. With collaboration from the community, it becomes a sustainable community. For Methodology, quantitative and qualitative methods were used by collecting the data from tourists who have been visited Wat Phumin, Nan province. The data then were analyzed using mean, descriptive statistics, and qualitative data. This study concludes that Wat Phumin, Nan province has created a sustainable community for its community.
