Project Description
Benjakitti Forest Park is in the busy center of Bangkok, Thailand, with a low budget and limited period of 18 months, a former tobacco factory site has been transformed into a low maintenance green lung that regulates stormwater, cleanses contaminated water, provides habitats for wildlife, and has created the largest public space for the dense population living downtown and beyond. The park has become a new cultural icon for the capital city and showcases a replicable modular approach to earthworks practice that transforms and recycles the lifeless concrete ground into a resilient living ecosystem that provides a full range of ecosystem services.
