INTERPRETATIVE RESPONSE BANGKOK URBANISM_SOCIO-SPATIAL PROFILING
TO: “This way of acting allows for the spatial coexistence of a multitude in movement. It’s a way that gives the most autonomy and at the same time spatial coexistance of sublects, which can manifest their differences in a permanent heterogenesis.

Inevitably spaces will be contradictory by their content.” Petcou, Constantin, Petrescu, Doina, (2007). “Acting space: transversal notes, on-the-ground observations and concrete questions for us all”.

B., Architecture and participation. London: Taylor & Francis. pp. 18.

INDIVIDUAL DESIGN RESPONSE: BANGKOK URBANISM
