" ...forest officials should plant trees in people's hearts and minds first, then
all should willingly plant trees themselves and taking care of the trees..."
But how to plants trees in their mind and make people awareness about this problem.
‘Learning by Doing’ is the best solution for learning effectively and effected to
people experience and their mind. Architecture is the one important tool to be
intermediary between people and environment moreover, it also create suitable
atmosphere for better learning. Learning center is the place where help to
encourage people awareness and their mindset because it is the place that focusing
on do activity for learning and sharing experience and knowledge to other people.
Learning center is a place which can provide people a better learning experience
through exhibit spaces for sharing knowledge. Interior spaces inside the learning
center are not use just only for learning but they are also used as a gathering
space for everyone in the community because the learning spaces consist of many
functions such as class rooms, learning spaces, outdoor activities as well as the
commercial functions such as restaurants, café, and the public gardens. This
facility can also be the place to improve the urban living environment for people.
This would allow visitors to visit the facility and enjoy themselves.
In Thailand, there are many learning centers but they are not the learning center
about the forest and wildlife where people can learn about the issues from
deforestation or wildlife illegal hunting. So, this is the reason why I would like
to propose a learning center about forest and wildlife to provide information to
the public and encourage people to be aware and concern about today’s situation.
This architectural thesis is focusing on the space design in the learning center to
support the learning process and help people to gain an effectively learning method
through the experience which is the most effective method to make people
acknowledge and understand the issues. Therefore, the design is emphasized on the
built environment to provide an opportunity for people to walk in the forest
environment as well as providing opportunity for people to gain a new experience by
adding architectural elements such as lighting, scale or proportion and building
materials in the space design. Moreover, the design also emphasizes on the outdoor
activities and workshop spaces because learning spaces are so important, especially
the space for learning experience through hand on activities.
