PML2023 “Breaking Sea Wall”

Parin Nawachartkosit, Chanya Ieosivikul

| “The proposal touches on one of the biggest public construction controversies in Thailand: hundreds (if not thousands) kilometers of concrete walls along the coastlines. The walls are posing dangers to both marine life biodiversity and human who also conduct livelihood along the seashores. Instead of taking down the entire walls which would also create another environmental catastrophe, the proposal suggests to break down certain sections with the attempt to utilize some parts of the already-built walls. Its simplicity and sensible design approach show the potential solutions to the condition of over-built infrastructure.”
