Keep Up - Modern Thai
Architecture 1967-1987 - August 4, 2008
This is an incredibly odd, but interesting trend to document--the
proliferation of modernist, 60's-era concrete structures in Thailand.
This elaborate and detailed exhibit shows the history of buildings such
as the Indra Hotel, Suan Amporn Pavilion, and the Science Museum.
Ironically, one of the most interesting structures--the pavilion over
the Samsen train station--was torn down to make way for the Hopewell
line which was never built.
"Keeping Up -
Modern Thai Architecture 1967-1987" is at the TCDC on the 6th floor
of the Emporium (on the movie theater level). Closed Mondays.
