YOU ARE WHAT YOU BREATHE
BANGKOK: Increasingly dense construction has crowded out nature in downtown areas, producing more traffic jams because more people with cars live in high-rise buildings. It also destroys the last refuges of urban wildlife, a variety of birds and squirrels that live in the mini-ecosystems of big trees.
BIGTrees Project :
The Big Trees group was born inside a small design studio on a lane of busy Sukhumvit, when the young Thai designers there together with other concerned residents in the area noticed dozens of big, old trees at the top of their lane being marked to be chopped down to make way for a car park of a massive new mall. They approached the plot owner's son to persuade him to change the mall's layout and save the trees. He listened sympathetically, nodded a lot - but one day chopped all the trees down anyway.
