Rethinking waste space
June 13, 2019
The project educates visitors about waste and energy recycling through its own design: the farm recycles organic waste from restaurants in the building below to become fertilizer for plants. The design also introduces the concept of clean energy through solar cells placed at edges of planting areas, illuminating paths and visibly highlighting larger conceptual themes. Turning infrastructure into art, the design team invited Thai graffiti artists to paint murals around the site. Every component of the project and design rethinks what is normally wasted space: a rooftop into a garden, a wall into a canvas. The message of Siam Green Sky resonates through the site: renewal and regeneration.
