“IN PROGRESS IS PROGRESS” Most of various designers have similarity of working process starting from drafting ideas to creating conceptual design. One of the common process that every designer has been through is an in-progress status. The design in progress that happens along the way before the finished work is as important as the finished work because it is a base for the further steps of design development. The experience series of “IN PROGRESS IS PROGRESS” is extracted from the Bangkok Design Week theme, Livable Scape, in order to display the work in progress of design that can reach open-ended impacts and possibilities from local context where it will be displayed. The in-progress design can be questioned for further thoughts in another perspectives from visitors or among designers that designers might have missed while crafting their own work. The main objective is to bring the unfinished work up to the spotlight and to be pushed in various aspects through conversations between designers, visitors, and locals. Regarding Livable Scape theme, this experience series will invite designers from different fields to display their work in progress from locals’ stories. The mentioned local context is a Thatien community, the old town area in Bangkok. The opportunity of designers’ experiment will integrate with history, stories, and people from Thatien. This is a chance that locals can involve with a creative industry and slightly explore inventive environment that can be created further combining with their community’s value. The best way to encourage locals to understand a creative industry is to open up a chance for them to be a part of it which is what this experiences series curated by Lou Hieb Seng, an experimental space and your place in Thatien, is going to do. Not only do designers will have a chance to explore their ideas through conversations and knowledge sharing, but also visitors who come and join sharing their thoughts. Moreover, the visitors will have a good chance to get to know the local community through the design work. Eventually, the experience series of “IN PROGRESS IS PROGRESS” will be a subtle hub between design industry and locals creating lively environment from local essence with creativity that everyone can experience during the Bangkok Design Week 2024.
