The Retro-Futurism

ประปาแม้นศรี - Bangkok Design Week 2024

ฺBangkok | Thailand

​

The Abandoned Water Tanks in the heart of the old-town Bangkok ,built in 1913 for the once-called Modern Water System, have become one of the centerpiece venues for Bangkok Design Week this year.

​

Even though The Water Tanks were built over a hundred years ago, they still exude Futuristic aesthetics even for the modern day. In contrary, A towering 6-story building confronting the tanks that was once an office for the Bangkok Metropolitan Waterworks, was built in Modernism, showcasing the beauty of its structures which reflects the functions within.

​

Shades of “Earth Light” were selected to represent the concept of ‘Retro-Futurism’. From the amber glow to the pale blue hue reflecting the passing moment from the nostalgic past to the dazzling future.
