Is my town Bangkok or Sydney? I'll go for Bangkok. First, I don't think that any open area in Bangkok that i know of should have anything built on or under it. The only large, open area near Silom is Lumpini Park, and it should be left as it is: park with almost no buildings. There are a couple of buildings for sports and cultural things, and it doesn't need any more.
ReplyDeleteOpen areas? I think it would have to be outside of Bangkok. But then, if it was outside of Bangkok, how useful would that be for people in Bangkok? A friend sometimes invites me to shows he manages at Impact Arena, but it's such a pain to get to, and to get back from, that I decline most of his kind invitations. Bangkok already has an Arts and Culture Centre at Siam, but it's pokey and an ugly blob of concrete. Perhaps there is a larger, more open area that could house a more fitting centre in the area? There is a large Buddhist temple next to Paragon, but it's probably better, at least for now, to let that remain a temple.
In Australia, as belief in Christianity declines, more and more old churches are being converted to other uses, but I don't think Thailand is ready for that this year.
If I could design any build in Thailand, It would be hotel.
ReplyDeleteBecause almost every hotel in Thailand have the same design which every rooms are similar.
Every rooms in my hotel will be different. People who want to check in at my hotel will have a chance to choose the style of room that they want.
Rooms will be decorated like a jungle, a hotel, or an classroom. Guest will have different experience everytime that check in at my hotel.
On what open area in or near Bangkok are you building your hotel?
DeleteIt will be built NOT in Bangkok. It will be around Hua-Hin.
DeleteBecause Hua-Hin is a popular place for relaxing which is different from Bangkok.
In my opinion, I would built the tallest tower in Bangkok.It looks like Marina Bay Sand in Singapore but bigger than and taller than Marina Bay Sand. i want to the building is iconic of Thailand, exterior looks like the boat and interior looks like the palace.

DeleteAn open area near my town, I would like to go Mahidol University in Salaya. I have been living in Salaya for 3 years. There consists of amazing buildings, stadium, natural park,and ponds. There are magnificent views on evening. I could modernize old buildings in MU.
ReplyDeleteSo, what modern buildings do you want to build at Mahidol?
DeleteI think modern building are integral of transnational and contemporary.
