Public Space Design: Central Plaza in Chiang Rai, Thailand

Central Square is an open-air public square in a shopping center in Chiang Rai, Thailand. The designer will build this space into a localized cultural park-style civic activity place. The square with local materials is located in the mountainous area, so the patterns of flower stands, steps, seats, pools and sidewalks all flow like contour lines and are scattered on the land, which flexibly and naturally fits the original terrain.

Public Space Design The central square in Chiang Rai, Thailand chose the local native mangrove (commonly known as Ngiew) as the keynote tree species, which highlighted the natural atmosphere in northern Thailand. From 1 month to March, orange flowers bloom on the plants, making the square more dazzling and bright.

The landscape architect cooperated with Somluk Pantiboon, a famous local artist. His five sculptures in the falling water became one of the main scenes of the square, reflecting the life cycle of Ngiew flowers.
