'Return of the lumpoo trees and fireflies'
Above is a detail of a plan for redevelopment around the Prasumen
Fort area downtown. It envisions bringing back the lumpoo trees
(which the Banglumpoo area was named for) and the fireflies that are
said to nest in its branches. This idea entails extending the green
areas from the fort park down along the klong and integrating Wat Sangwet
(at the top) into the design. This plan is
similar to the official plan, but the official plan also insists on
demolishing the historic Kurusapa
Printing House/Wat Sangwech Typing School (the red rectangles to
the right of the fort).

"opposite building" which is the dilapidated Chinese Mansion
Ban Bang Yeekhan on
the river front.

Siam Square has long
needed a makeover that unifies its various shophouses and fixes its
broken pavement. This plan above eliminates the ground-level parking
in Siam Square in favor of broad walkways for shoppers and overhead
parking.
