Bangkok--20 Mar--British Council British Council, Noble Development, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and Bangkok Design Festival welcome you to the official press conference of “Transforming public spaces”, the follow up project to ”Re-imagining the city” with a talk by Jason Bruges, lighting designer from the UK. Transforming Public Spaces seeks engagement from the public to ‘name and shame’ buildings, streets and other spaces which are ugly or simply don’t work. Through a competition, people are invited to name such places, with a photo, via the website www.changebangkok.com. There will be an exhibition and the ‘winner’ will be the subject of a collaborative ‘intervention’ by Jason Bruges with local creatives. Together they will look at how that space might be transformed, temporarily or permanently. The transformation will take place during Bangkok Design Festival in October 2008. We would like to invite you to join this event on Wednesday 26 March 2008 at 18.00-20.00hrs at British Council, Siam Square.
