Area of Responsibility

Lesson learned from waterfront houses of Chao Phraya River. The fire occured and fire trucks cannot get in to extinguish fire. It becomes the need of fire boats.

The transition of fire and rescue boats

from bangrak to samsen , because the

building of Bangrak would like to

renovate in order to preserve the old

building area.Samsen

Bangrak

The purpose is to develop samsen fire and rescue

station design that would meet the needs of fireman

duty in the future of refurbishment project.

While their conditions are less than

desirable, the locations for boat fire

and rescue station are appropriate

since the station can go to

extinguish fire and rescue people

along the waterfront area of Chao

Phraya River , Bangkok Noi Canal

,and also support the new building parliament for security.

Site Context

The reason of co-working

Both stations are closed.The work is similar for rescue.

Present functions

Land station

Boat station

No functions for the present.

Working & Living

Functions Boat typesOperation Problems

Weekly program Monday - Sunday

When the signal alarm they go down by stair from the flat at the back of the station. The operation is delayed.

Now the whole functions are discriminated against the firefighters , and not in arrangements has led to the point where to design equal facilities.

The following research question was posed:

How the function oriented building could offer into specificity, and linkwith surrounding environment ?

“ The Intention was to place emphasis on the outstanding significanceof the fire brigade with its crucial function in respect of security and society.”

Since 09/11/2001 awareness of a possible terrorist threat has increased throughout the world. Competent authorities of the city of Cologne have stated that the primary control unit of the fire brigade bears a high risk.

Foam Tote Storage Room A total of six (6) foam Tote containers. These containers hold foam for fire fighting.

Decontamination Areaa smaller shower and a special sink, where they can clean themselves as well as their contaminated equipment.

Petrol Tank/ Gasoline/ Delivery/ Service: There is no tank with petrol/gasoline being stored at this marine firehouse location. The Navy Yard in Brooklyn (East River, east of Manhattan) covers these needs for the boat.

Two work benches with shelving above , have compartments where the firemen store/hang their individual uniform equipment such as helmets, jacket, boots, etc.

Staging area

Alert + Response system Intercom + Speaker system , and alarm bell are installed in every rooms throughoutthe building for the incoming alert.

Wall Mountable

Housewatch Desk on 2nd floor

Mechanical area contains all units for the building service (Ventilation system for the kitchen, energy recovery units for the heating system, etc.)

Since the building is constructed atop a pier, there’s no basement to accommodate all building systems.

Utility Service covers incoming power, gas, water, telecom/data, TV, as well as sewage lines going out of the building with a tie-in to the public system.

Infrastructure The integration of communications, mechanical and circulation systems was conceived of as a landscape of connected constellations which create pockets of more intimate spaces of refuge for FDNY personnel between emergency response calls.

SAMMARY IDEA OF CASE STUDIES

From the case study

Improve station functionalityand regarding to the surrounding ?

“Alert + Response system” and “ Infrastructure”

- Intercom + Speaker system , and alarm bell- Staging area for boat- Storage for equipment room- Decontamination Area

“ Compartmentalized space and connection ”

firefighter duty and community

- Office- Gym- Classroom etc.

“ Crucial function in respect of security and society ”- The main control unit room , - The technology room - The supervision and coordination group roomfor emergency calls and emergency operations
