Bangkok Expressway - Research
Bangkok Expressway was a research project driven by the wish to confront the urban reading tools acquired in a Swiss context with the logic of an Asian context. The field observation led to the discovery of several areas of wasteland beneath elevated expressway bridges, most of which had been left in an abandoned state. The analysis of these spaces led to the development of a design proposal for a suspended leisure infrastructure under the expressway bridges. The research and design projects were gathered as a master’s thesis at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
