Laos, located on the mainland Southeast Asia, is a multi-ethnic nation with over 50 recognized ethnic groups. Until the 1980s, the country remained largely isolated due to internal conflicts and the implementation of socialism. In recent years, however, the policy of reform and opening up has brought significant benefits to the nation, including the development of its land and infrastructure. On the other hand, urbanization has advanced, significantly impacting the country's cultural diversity.

| Understanding French colonial rule is essential for exploring the residential culture of Southeast Asia, particularly in the Indochinese Peninsula. In Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, colonial-era buildings remain integral parts of urban landscapes and hold significant cultural heritage value. Savannakhet, the focus of this PBL, is a colonial city in Laos located along the Mekong River. Historically, it served as a trade hub connecting Thailand and Vietnam and was heavily influenced by French colonial rule starting in the mid-19th century. The city features well-preserved French-style urban planning and numerous colonial buildings, which contribute to its unique charm. While these buildings are valuable tourist resources, many face significant deterioration and risk of loss. This PBL seeks to address these challenges by engaging in the restoration and preservation of these colonial-era cultural assets. The project also aims to explore sustainable methods for the regeneration and adaptive reuse of these structures, ultimately contributing to the promotion of local community development and tourism. By preserving and revitalizing this colonial architectural heritage, the project aspires to safeguard the historical and cultural identity of Savannakhet for future generations. | |||||

| This workshop aims to explore “Tokyo Vernacular” by examining the unique architectural and urban spaces that can only be found in Tokyo. The city contains a distinctive mixture of environments—dense wooden residential districts, intricate alley networks, clusters of small local shops, neighborhood structures organized around railway stations, and multilayered underground infrastructures—creating an urban condition unlike any other. Participants will conduct on-site field surveys, walking through selected areas to observe, document, and analyze spatial configurations, patterns of use, and the relationships between built forms and their surrounding contexts. Through these surveys, students will identify latent issues embedded within Tokyo’s everyday urban landscape and develop feasible architectural or urban design proposals addressing the challenges they uncover. The workshop also places strong emphasis on the potential transfer of insights from Tokyo to Thailand. By comparing the two urban contexts, participants will examine shared concerns and fundamental differences, seeking ways in which the vernacular qualities observed in Tokyo can inspire approaches to improving urban and community environments in Thailand. Through this comparative and practice-oriented process, the workshop encourages students to generate new design perspectives that link field-based understanding with culturally grounded urban solutions. | |||||
