[13] National Academic Conference Presentation

Paper title: “Design Guidelines for the Renovation of the Mother and Child Unit at the Central Women’s Correctional Institution, Klong Prem” Presented at the 15th National Conference on Education: Real-World Learning Experience – Transforming Education through Innovation and Research-Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), 30 May 2025, 3rd Floor, Learning Innovation Building.

Impact: This presentation brought the issue of prisons and justice into the discourse of education and real-life learning, connecting the “closed space” of correctional institutions with the “open space” of academia. It highlighted the idea that “prison space” is also a learning space—for both mothers and their children—and a site for architectural design research led by students.

The design of the mother and child center is therefore not simply a matter of architectural intervention; it is an innovation in human learning under conditions of constraint. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15j9JU0jDsI176zXs6fLIbsDU-Lhf0FOq/view
