Information from the abstract
This study, conducted by an architect involved in the renovation project, examines 'The Ceiling Painting' initiative—a public art installation integrated into the renovation of the Faculty of Business Administration (BA) Building at Rajamangala University of Technology Isan (RMUTI). This project addresses the purely utilitarian function often ascribed to the built environment, aligning with Norberg-Schulz’s assertion that human-made spaces possess inherent structure and embody profound meanings. The research investigates how public art can significantly impact human experience by fostering identity, culture, and inspiration within an educational context. Findings indicate that 'The Ceiling Painting' -----an intervention historically reserved for religious structures----- has evolved into an innovative architectural feature that defines the identity and ambiance of the BA Building. Beyond its aesthetic value, this installation actively fosters problem-solving, stimulates collaborative student projects, and drives interdisciplinary engagement. Furthermore, the project’s collaborative implementation has substantially contributed to knowledge management within the university by enhancing decision-making, increasing innovation and efficiency, reducing knowledge loss, and fostering a community of practice. The study concludes that integrating painting with architectural elements offers a dynamic and enriching design approach that profoundly enhances teaching, practical learning experiences, and community engagement. While providing a robust qualitative analysis, the study highlights the need for further empirical investigation to quantitatively evaluate its specific impact on user learning, behavior, and productivity.
