Abstract
Functionable architecture students’ uniforms are designed by teams of fashion design students as a representative team from Thailand to participate in the Solar Decathlon Europe 2021-2022 (SDE 21-22) competition aiming to build an energy-saving house in Wuppertal, Germany. Therefore, the focus of this study is for lecturers to structure an appropriate study plan, monitor the process and facilitate students including the collaboration of teaching and learning from interdisciplinary, architecture and fashion design, also to incorporate Thai identity through the integration of Thai local wisdom “Pha Khao Ma” (Thai loincloth) into the making of three sets of uniform prototypes; 1) workwear, 2) business casual attire, and 3) tailor suit. The study methodology is divided into four parts. First, the lecturers structure the study plan for the sixteen weeks class sessions. Next, architecture and fashion design students are working together under the lecturers' supervision and facilitation. Then, all parties visit and work together with the local community to create a uniform prototype through the use of “Pha Khao Ma.” And finally, the prototype collection is completed by the fashion design students. As a result, in the studio classroom environment, students are not only learning to embrace different disciplines and aesthetics, but also creatively utilizing material from the
local wisdom in a knowledge exchange process for a unique final design execution.
