普吉大门

现代风格的门户，配以生动的雕塑。原始材料被结合起来，展现当地的价值观。
这个想法是通过当代建筑来展现泰国南部乡土建筑的特点。普吉门户旨在作为一个公共空间，欢迎游客来到这个省份，就像一个客厅一样。这个风景如画的小镇是各种文化和种族的熔炉，代表了各种当地南部、华人、穆斯林和中葡建筑风格。然而，该项目并没有明显展现任何单一的文化，而是将这些当地价值观与原始材料结合起来，提供当代的图案和功能。
普吉门户的特点并不是设计成像泰国其他省份通常发现的普通门槛，相反，它被构想成由现代建筑和景观组成的公共空间。建筑物线性地朝向该省的入口，利用了场地的原始轮廓。该项目的要求是将这样的门户建筑变成地标，因此，我们提出了“生动雕塑”的想法，代表并向游客讲述普吉的历史故事。当游客穿过雕塑、阅读和拍照时，游客和雕塑之间的互动将使雕塑变得“生动”，并完美地体现了建筑师的设计理念。
雕塑包括混凝土柱，排成100米的队列，形成走廊，就像是进入中葡建筑的入口，该建筑有一条拱廊连接每座建筑，通往每个部分。这些柱子引导人们到达一根高大的、用花岗岩覆盖的雕塑柱子，这种材料代表了锡矿石的起源，它是当地的自然资源，很久以前就给社区带来了财富。每一块花岗岩都代表着融合了不同文化的独特普吉镇。这样的高柱仍然像是海洋中的灯塔，是白天和夜晚游客的重要目的地。
功能空间隐藏在走廊雕塑和树木的后面。内部区域包括服务区，如旅游信息中心、政府办公室、警察局、餐厅、礼堂和一个用于伊斯兰活动如祈祷的区域。这些空间被设计成由袖珍规模的公园分隔的亭子，透过半透明的屋顶带进自然光。亭子都在同一屋顶下，呈现简单、和平和谦卑的特点。游客一进入建筑物就会体验到活动和氛围。此外，为了使建筑物与当地的气候特征相互作用，建筑师允许雨水流动和阳光照射到内部空间的某些部分，以生活在自然条件下的理念。
Modern style gateway with lively sculptures. The original materials are combined to present local values.
The idea is to present the character of vernacular architecture in the south of Thailand through contemporary architecture. Phuket Gateway is to serve as a public space for welcoming the visitors to this province, just like a living room. This scenic town is a melting pot of various cultures and races represent by various architectural styles of local southern, Chinese, Muslim and Sino Portuguese. However, the project does not reveal any single culture significantly but interprets these local values in combination to the original materials providing contemporary pattern and function.
The feature of Phuket Gateway is not designed as a normal threshold as usually found in other provinces of Thailand, on the other hand, it is generated as a public space comprising of a contemporary building and landscape. The building is linearly positioned facing to the province entrance by utilizing the original contour in the site. The project’s requirement is to make such gateway the landmark, so, we come up with the idea of ‘lively sculpture’ that representing and telling the historical stories about Phuket to the visitors. When visitors are walking through the sculptures, reading, and taking pictures, those interaction between visitors and sculptures will then make sculpture become ‘lively’ and complete on architect’s design philosophy.
The sculptures include concrete columns line up 100 meters to generate the colonnade like an entrance to the Sino Portuguese building, which has an arcade that connects each building and provides access to every part. The columns lead to a high sculptural column covered with granite, this material represents the origin of tin as the local natural resource that brings out the wealthiness to the community long time ago. Each individual piece of granite refers to various cultures combined into a unique town of Phuket. Such high column still acts as a lighthouse in the ocean which is a prominent destination during day and night for visitors.
Functional space is hidden at the back of colonnade sculpture and trees. Internal area is comprised of a service section, such as a tourist information center, government office, police station, restaurant, auditorium and an area for Islamic activities such as prayers. Those spaces are designed as a pavilion divided by pocket sized parks, where natural light is brought in through the translucent roof. The pavilion is under the same roof bringing the simple, peaceful and humble features. Visitors will experience activities and atmosphere as soon as they enter into the building. Also, to make the building interact with the local climatic character, the architect allows the rain flow and the daylight into some part of inner spaces under the concept of life is under natural condition.
