The design scheme conclusion
The design proposal of the micronode in this area is focused
on the ability to improve the image of the modal, as well as
to improve the economic competitiveness and efficiency through
mobility implementation. The testing site show the proposal of the
micronode integrated to the major public transport node and travel
through the glass tube, in order to have safety, weather protection
and more rapid services.
From the previous part, the research and
analysis has result in the design strategy and the Matrix
of the design mechanism to apply for most of the
micronodes in Bangkok. The testing by designing has
shown various alternatives of the design solution in different
areas, land use characteristic, and users. However,
the formalize design scheme for all micronodes
in Bangkok could not be done within this thesis. This
part of the report will summarize the possible design
scheme and a conclusion of the design strategy.
We will conclude with five design schemes and
the function/typologies that have potential to integrate
the micronode with. The functions/typologies, which are
selected to test the integration, are the function which
consequence from the market-orientated multimodality
in Bangkok. The selected functions are; the big transport
nodes, the gas station, the public functions, and the
minimart. These functions were created and located all
over the city, especially the area that has multimodal passenger
interchanges. Integrating the micronode into these
functions is strategic to promote multimodality in the most
potential areas of Bangkok.
