Retrofitting Regeneration

Kotchakorn Voraakhom is the founder of Landprocess, a Bangkok-based landscape architecture firm, and the Porous City Network, a social enterprise that co-designs water management solutions with vulnerable communities in Southeast Asia. A leading voice in the global conversation on climate resilient design, Voraakhom is recognized internationally for contributing critical green infrastructure and climate-adaptive public spaces to the development of Bangkok, including Asia’s largest urban rooftop farm at Thammasat University, and Chulalongkorn Centenary Park, the Thai capital’s first major public park in three decades, designed to reduce urban flood risk. In her current project at the Thai Government Complex, Voraakhom is retrofitting an expansive site designed around the car with climate resilient, human-centred public spaces. Creating a network of walkable green spaces, shaded promenades, and planted plazas, the landscape architect’s comprehensive redesign aims to transform the nation’s largest administrative campus into a landscape that serves the city, offering access to green space while mitigating the effects of climate change and rapid urbanization.
