The Creation - Shopping Center (Student Group Project)

Disclaimer: This project is the group project that my friends and I had been working together as a team. The idea and the design didn’t occur from just me.

However, I share only the presentation images that I created, if it isn’t, I will mark under the picture and it means I’ve already asked the team member who created such picture for the permission.

This Shopping Center project we’ve worked together at the 3rd year of our bachelor’s degree (2013). The assignment for this project is quite open for students to determine the location and the target group for the shopping center. We had the same idea that “the themed shopping mall’ is interesting and challenging, also, we want to experiment on the design that can inspire people and provides space for them to exchange their thoughts and ideas.

Therefore, the target group is young people who love art and possess high individual styles, then we started to think about the location for this project. The province of Korat is then chosen as the most suitable one, because it is the biggest province at the north-east of Thailand and there is an art festival there every year.

We’ve done a research from other shopping centers, about the zoning and facilities to set the base zoning idea of our project. Furthermore, we studied about the art exhibition, since we want to include it inside the shopping center.

The concept design is the “Creation by Human”, such as shapes and forms, geometrically. Begins with the “Dot”, the one-dimension subject into “Line”, two-dimension subject into shape and form. The main element of the design is the triangle, because it can be connected and built into the new elements infinitely. The ability of the triangle refers to the ability of humankind, our idea can expand into everything and it will never end.
