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...
