Investigation of the Sustainability Potentials in the Ten House Project Bangkok-Thailand

The sustainability of projects has become a significant concern for temporary architecture, which refers to structures that are built for a limited period of time. This is because these structures can have negative impacts on the environment and society if not constructed and operated in a sustainable manner. However, there is a growing demand for modern techniques that can help achieve sustainability in temporary architecture. This research investigates about the sustainability of Ten House Project (THP) in Bangkok-Thailand. The research argues that sustainability can actually be achieved by applying traditional construction techniques that have been proven effective in promoting economic efficiency, as well as addressing social and environmental issues - the three pillars of sustainability. This research simulated the results using the ENVI-met application that models the environmental conditions of urban areas. In summary, the research seeks to explore how traditional construction techniques can be applied to temporary architecture to achieve sustainability. The research has proved that many of the regional architecture elements have contributed to achieving sustainability in the project; terraces, courtyards, breathable walls and many other architectural features were essential in terms of achieving sustainability from an environmental point of view, in addition to involving people in the schematic design phase, which was the social factor that contributed effectively to adding sustainability value to the project. The research aims to demonstrate that sustainability can be achieved by leveraging traditional methods, which can provide economic, social, and environmental benefits.
