Why Bangkok? Why the water?
  |
 > This site features the project "City
of water ", a work in progress of an international
group of architects on behalf of the Faculty of Architecture - Chulalongkorn
University of
Bangkok.
> We started with a
boat trip from Bangkok up north through the Chao Phraya River. A 10 days trip to Nakon
Sawan, further north toward Sirikit Dam. We
traveled on the water, it has been a river exploration.
An exploration made out of practical work, of desire.
> During this
journey when the boats stopped, it was time to work.
Every one, every group, set his fragment of instant city.
We thank | Nokia | Thailand, the | Faculty
of Architecture | of Chulalongkorn
University and | art4d
| magazine for giving us the opportunity to make this project possible. We are also
grateful to the other sponsors for the economical resources and the enthusiastic support
to our project.
