MoMA, Nonthaburi, Thailand

泰國暖武里 MoMA 現代鋁博物館

HAS design and research

MoMA is the abbreviation for Museum of Modern Aluminum. Thailand was once the largest aluminum manufacturer in Southeast Asia at the end of the 20th century. Its diverse and abundant aluminum profiles not only satisfied the local market but were once known for exporting to overseas markets. HAS design and research wanted MoMA to serve not only as a public space but also as a getaway for busy urban dwellers. The building extends the natural landscape of Ko Kret Island to the project site. During the day, MoMA is a dandelion, with its overhanging elements swaying in the wind, bringing softness and lightness to the busy Ratchaphruek Road; at night, MoMA transforms into a firefly, adding a sense of nature and peacefulness to the highly commercialized Ratchaphruek Road.

 

MoMA not only uses aluminum strips as display items, but also allows them to continue in the architecture, the interior, the landscape, as well as the lighting and furniture, creating a sense of totality inside and outside. The façade is clad with tens of thousands of aluminum strips, each with a slightly different color and texture, just like the feathers of a dandelion. The aluminum strips, combined with LED lighting, extend from the front façade to the two side façades, and then straight through the "tunnel" space on the west side, filtering and dampening the noise of the external environment and guiding visitors to the quiet exhibition place.

 

The aluminum strips on the façade not only provide a variety of lighting functions, but also shade the interior from excessive sunlight to maintain a comfortable interior environment. The flexibility of the exhibition space can meet a variety of display, reception, and activity needs. On the top floor, the enclosed landscape resembles a floating island with seasonal plants, creating an urban ecological site for fireflies to flourish.

 

The design process of MoMA began with the study of aluminum signboards commonly seen on the streets, and then used aluminum as an element to link the entire building. Through the investigation and research of aluminum profiles, a distinct architectural texture is created, and a new sense of vernacular is discovered in Thailand's concrete jungle.

 
 
MoMA 是現代鋁博物館(Museum of Modern Aluminum)的縮寫。泰國曾在 20 世紀末作為東南亞最大的鋁材製造國,其多樣又豐富的鋁型材不僅滿足本土市場,更一度以輸出海外市場聞名。 HAS design and research 希望 MoMA 不僅作為大眾空間,並可為忙碌的城市居民提供休憩場所。因此,建築延續柯叻島上的自然景觀至項目場地。在白天 MoMA 就像一棵蒲公英,建築懸挑構件隨風搖擺,替繁忙又緊張的拉查府盧克路增加輕柔感;到了夜晚, MoMA 搖身一變成為了螢火蟲,替商業氣息濃厚的拉查府盧克路增加一些生態感與鬆弛性。

MoMA 的設計特點不僅將鋁條作為展示品,更延續建築、室內、景觀、照明與家具,塑造內外一體性的感受。其立面由數萬根鋁條包覆,每根鋁條的顏色與紋路都略有差異,如同蒲公英般每根羽毛都不同;而長短不一的鋁條結合 LED 照明,從正立面延伸至兩邊側立面,再筆直貫穿西側「孔洞」空間,過濾並紓緩外部環境的喧囂浮躁,引導參訪者至一處靜謐的展覽場所。

建築立面的鋁條不僅提供多種照明功能,更可遮擋過多的日曬維持室內舒適的採光效果,而具備靈活性與彈性的展覽空間,可滿足多種展示、接待、活動需求。在頂層空間,圍合景觀有如一座漂浮的小島,搭配季節性植物塑造一處可供螢火蟲複育的城市生態場所。

MoMA 設計過程從一開始街道常見的鋁招牌作為研究物件,隨後將鋁材作為單體元素串連至整體建築。即便 MoMA 僅是城市中的一個建築體,但透過研究並改變鋁構件斷面,從而打造出特殊的建築肌理感,替充斥著鋼筋水泥的泰國城市,重新找到另種新地域性。

HAS design and research
Hung And Songkittipakdee (HAS) explores Asia’s architectural language through a “design + research” parallel approach; it emphasizes the analogy of nature and man-made nature, looking for another kind of new natural architecture through the city’s own derivatives, named “The Improvised, MANufAcTURE and Chameleon Architecture”. HAS work encompassing cultural buildings, religious architecture, installation art, exhibition design and experimental projects; and HAS research includes the train and railway markets, the charming roadside vendors, the borderless illegal constructions under the elevated freeways, and the roundabouts of dead alleys. These interesting scenes typically exist in Asian cities, where temporary construction truly reveals how people can find a “new” nature in the reinforced concrete city.
