centralwOrld & CENTRAL PATTANA Provide Fun Spaces to Explore ‘Good Life’ Ideas from Every Generation

“What makes a good life for you?” If you ask children, teenagers, working-age adults, or the elderly, you’ll likely get different answers. What if we have the opportunity to listen to these ideas from people of every generation?

At this year’s Bangkok Design Week festival, CENTRAL PATTANA and centralwOrld have created a space for us to explore the meaning of a good life with the belief that good design has the power to make a city more livable.

Enjoy taking selfies with giant characters in the “Friends of Bangkok x Co-Creating City” project at the front square of the Grand Postal Building on Charoenkrung Road. This project is a collaboration between projecttSTUDIO, a studio that stands out for its distinctive emphasis on creativity, and Glow Creative, an agency that uses storytelling to bring about change through a deep understanding of humanity. They collaborate with partners such as the IDF team to jointly create a meaningful and comprehensive art space.

Discover Yourself in the World of a Livable Life

The first zone, “Friends of Bangkok,” welcomes everyone with giant characters to create a lively atmosphere for you to take selfies until you run out of memory. It also narrates the different lifestyles that make life enjoyable. In this zone, you can discover your identity by choosing three pieces that represent you. These pieces will be combined with those chosen by others during the nine-day event, creating a large-scale data visualization artwork reflecting the identity of people of all ages in the city.

Share Ideas of the Good Life in Your Style

The second zone, “Co-Creating City,” invites you to share your ideas of the “good life” ideas through interactive activities. You can choose images reflecting your lifestyle and answer the question, “What makes a good life for you?” before all messages appear on the interactive wall of the enjoyable city. This allows you to see and listen to the stories and lifestyles of others, whether it’s the ambiance of dining out, dog lovers strolling in the park, lively music parties, artists enjoying the creative process, health enthusiasts jogging, or sharing couple photos on social media.

Design a Livable City by Listening to the Voices of the People

CENTRAL PATTANA and centralwOrld aim to create a good and sustainable quality of life for people, with the belief that a good living space must be created by listening to everyone’s voices. This aligns with the aims of Bangkok Design Week this year to make the city ‘livable.’ This project serves as a space for everyone to come together to co-design the city, reflecting the potential of design to address diverse needs and bring positive change to our city.
