The program introduces communal facilities, park, shopping and recreational areas across three levels to the existing shopping center. The challenge in the design was to transform a formerly closed commercial space into a more extroverted one for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Architectkidd\u2019s design consists of an elevated platform that connects the shopping center and out towards the exterior landscape. The architecture acts as a conduit as well as a public space that interacts with outdoor areas and gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been over 10 years since the original shopping center was built housing the first IKEA<\/a> in Thailand. Since that time the retail and urban environment in South East Asia have evolved significantly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Architectkidd\u2019s design brings a vision of change to the shopping center model as well as an opportunity to experiment with new approaches that combine the commercial with community and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
