TCLF: Three Landscapes Designed by Kongjian Yu, the 2023 Oberlander Prize Laureate - Benjakitti Forest Park

Benjakitti Forest Park, Bangkok, Thailand, 2023. This 104.5-acre (42.3-hectare) park at a former tobacco factory with numerous single-story warehouses was transformed into the largest public recreational space for residents of downtown Bangkok and its environs in just eighteen months.  In constructing the park, extant trees were retained and integrated into the new design, while several vernacular warehouses were repurposed. Three new constructed wetlands feature hundreds of small islands that provide habitat and manage stormwater.
