A study of how to find and create proportion of additional central Thai traditional houses from standard proportion based on Associate Professor Rutai Jaijongruk

Abstract

Style of central traditional Thai house Is a unique residential architecture of Thailand. With elements that indicate the identity of itself, construction plan comprised of various components assembled together. Hence, the difference of the Thai house in different areas of central Thailand can be seen on the houses proportion and roof angle, otherwise known as “Soong”.

By the survey of Thai houses sample, which the research found the addition as Thai shape from the proportion of conceptual by Associate Professor Rutai Jaijongruk. Thai houses have different appearances, by considering from angle of gable, it shows shape call “Soong jae” and “Soong chalood”. Soong chalood had more angle than soong standard, where soong jae had less angle from soong standard. This research  developed proportion that referenced its shape from terms base on the mathematical principles by Associate Professor Rutai Jaijongruk.
