“Siriwitthayaluck” is the name of the school building of the Faculty of Learning Sciences and Education. Thammasat University, a 4-storey building located near the university’s learning center. The overall design focus on being energy-efficient building, using the high ceiling to improve the air circulation inside the building which significantly reduce the use of air conditions around the learning areas. The transparent roofs were installed to allow the natural sunlight to pass through the hallways, walkways and the oval area on the 1st floor of the building.
The space in front of the building is for social and learning for small groups, large groups, formal and informal. A fish pond near the sitting area in front of the building was intended to offset the high temperature around the recreation area.
Adjacent to various buildings around like a Learning Center and Wisit Auksorn Building, the design is therefore “open” to access in all directions and have a walkway to connect to the nearby buildings for more convenient access. “Universal Design” ramps are also made available for students with disabilities.
