BKK 10 KM

SELECTED PROFESSIONAL WORKS BKK 10 KM: BANGKOK’S URBAN PULSE

(PROJECT UNDER SHMA COMPANY LIMITED)

As part Shma Company Limited, “BKK 10 KM.” was a project created to raise social awareness of unused open spaces in Bangkok’s city centre which has potential to become an active space for public use. The project encourage people to run along the proposed 10 Kilometre route through Bangkok’s urban fabric.

It is an attempt to re-connect the city’s abandon area together - from vast space under highway, riverside area, public park, to skywalks, altogether will create a loop for active programs for Bangkok Metropolis.

Along the 10 Kilometre route which passes through diiferent district nodes, these new activities will hopefully introduce a re-connection between old and new urban behaviors, alleviate a future pollution, and also promote a healthy and a lively city to its people.
