In this studio, we envision a future architecture shaped not by the abundance of today but by the projected scarcity of tomorrow. Through a study of habitation, we explore how we might structure and live together in a more resource-conscious future. Importantly, we seek not only to provide a means to survive but to thrive under these new conditions. The studio positions itself within the worst-case scenarios of runaway climate change, focusing on Bangkok. The city’s latitude, low altitude, density, and tropical climate made it particularly vulnerable and a fitting site to test radical responses. Rising temperatures, resource depletion, and ecosystem degradation demands concerted international action, yet global governance remains paralyzed by political and economic inertia. Ultimately, this leaves societies in developing regions in precarious positions, confronted with the most immediate effects of the enviromental emergency without the resources to effectively mitigate its worst effects. The studio approaches this inertia as an opportunity, embracing a bottom-up ethos that recast the architect as a designer of interconnected systems, balancing environmental, economic, material, social, and ecological constraints. From this position, the studio seeks to deveolp new forms of agency alongside practical solutions.
