Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban: Day 8: CASE Study
http://urbanchallenges.blogspot.com/2008/06/day-8-case-study.html
Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban. Sunday, June 22, 2008. Day 8: CASE Study. Obviously, the design process is very different. Patama insists that she's "not a social worker" and that she's "still an architect." Some people would argue otherwise. CASE alters the role of architects and planners in developing countries; they become articulators instead of just providers. Sitting in a KFC after lunch, waiting to be taken to our respective communities. Tired. A shot of the Bang-Chun canal. Day 8: CASE Study.

Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban: Day 9: Let's Play Tourist
http://urbanchallenges.blogspot.com/2008/06/day-9-lets-play-tourist.html
Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban. Monday, June 23, 2008. Day 9: Let's Play Tourist. On Friday, we were graciously given the day off. I think it was interesting timing for a vacation day, especially since the workshop had gained momentum from our visits to the suburbs. Also, having a vacation day earlier would have helped me orient myself in the city. But a day off is a day off, and I appreciated it a lot. One example of a structure at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Jim Thompson was an American arch...

Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban: Day 10: So Many Posters
http://urbanchallenges.blogspot.com/2008/06/day-10-so-many-posters.html
Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban. Monday, June 30, 2008. Day 10: So Many Posters. On Saturday morning, some of us went to Chatuchak Weekend Market to shopping. I've come to believe that shopping is a regional past time - there seem to be malls everywhere! The pet area, although filled with cute animals, was mostly sad. Yummy fresh-squeezed 100% orange juice, perfect for thirst quenching on a hot day. And landmarks for way finding. But how much power do physical plans have? Many other groups focused on...

Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban: Day 6: Sense of Place
http://urbanchallenges.blogspot.com/2008/06/day-6-sense-of-place.html
Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Day 6: Sense of Place. Today was another day spent meeting Bangkok's urban professionals. We visited the City Planning Department of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), which plays a similar role in Bangkok as the Urban Redevelopment Authority in Singapore. However, the BMA portrayed a much less sophisticated image than the URA, which is also reflecting in its city planning. We students had dinner at the mall, and some of us went t...

Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban: Day 7: Out to the Suburbs
http://urbanchallenges.blogspot.com/2008/06/day-7-out-to-suburbs.html
Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban. Thursday, June 19, 2008. Day 7: Out to the Suburbs. Sorry about the lack of pictures; the Internet connection is somewhat spotty at the hotel and there's not enough time to upload. I'll add pictures when I get a chance to. After Minburi, we visited Chulalongkorn University to pay our visit to the Dean of the Economics Department. She wasn't there, but at least we got to use the computer lab. And also interesting are the uniforms that college students have to w...Day 4...

Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban: July 2008

Extreme Makeover: Third World Urban. Tuesday, July 1, 2008. Day 11: The End? Pretending to be the skyscrapers on our shirt. Group 5 board work. At the evening's end, we took pictures on the patio outside. It was our last night together, so we tried every configuration of people known to us. Since we wanted to linger together as long as possible, we were probably the last people to leave the restaurant. What a bittersweet evening of hugs and farewells sprinkled with hopeful see you laters! Day 11: The End?
