Bangkok University has recently developed a new complex of four story buildings, designed by 49 Group – a Bangkok based design studio. But the University’s Creative Centre, which occupies two floors of the complex, was designed by Supermachine Studios. Supermachine are also a well known Bangkok based design studio, who’s motto is “small office but big projects”. The centre, which measures at about 600m2, includes exhibition space, library, workshops and offices. It was formed as part of the Government’s aim to transform the Thai economy – going from an overwhelmingly industrial and agricultural one to a more creative and tertiary based one. Thus, with this aim in mind the facility was designed to be bright and welcoming in the hope that it would encourage creativity and dialogue amongst the next generation of Thai students.
