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.
