The design of the ‘ASA Member’ pavilion is a
collaborative effort between Tat Wattanamethee and
Atcha Somphong of Sakon Nakhon-based practice,
Chan Cher Architects and Design, and product
designer, Supachai Klaewtanong, of Nakkhid Design
Studio from Nakhon Si Thammarat. The ‘codependency’
concept, which is the start point of the design, is
broadened and further explored through the ‘red ant
larvae’ narrative. The designers came across the red
ant larvae, which is an ingredient of local Thai dishes,
in local fresh markets while conducting their research
on the shared cultural traits between the northeastern
and southern region of Thailand. The discovery is
incredibly interesting in the sense that it reflects the
codependent way of living; a term relationship between
living creatures coexisting in the ecosystem with both
parties equally benefiting from each other. And it is
from the nature of this type of relationship on which
the design is developed.
The design team creates the pavilion they name ‘Rang
Mod Deang’ or red ants’ nest using the red ants’ lives,
behaviors and routines as the inspiration, from the
relationship between the red ants and the mother
nature—the grand entity that is both the home and
food source of tiny living creatures. The members of
an ant colony rely on each other and each lives with
their own role and responsibilities, from male and
female ants, the queens and the workers, who are
responsible as both the food providers and builders.
With the idea and an approach to spatial manipulation
in mind, the design team develops the interior
functionality to accommodate the exhibition of 100
models created by 100 architecture firms. The models
symbolize ants’ larvae or eggs that the ASA members
nurture and hatch into actual, living works of
architecture, as well as the mutualism of work
methods developed to benefit everyone within the
community.
The pavilion’s striking visual invites the passerby with
the unique and distinctive architectural structure inspired
by the form of red ant larvae, revealing itself as
the base of each display cabinet and lamp shades used
for the decoration. Natural materials are used to
represent Sakon Nakhon province’s local identity while
the wooden lath made of Auri wood is a perfect additional
element of the structure. The design team utilize
specific techniques to form steel into the designed
form, creating an art piece that resembles a red ants’
nest. All and all, it’s an adaptation of an empty area
into a publicly accessible indoor exhibition space
within the unique architectural structure of a pavilion.
