Bangkok Meditation Hub – [Trees] as an Identity in a Shifting, Adapting, and Evolving Bangkok by Bhuvarin Thaveetermsakul, led by Chulalongkorn University visiting professor Jenchieh Hung. The research and design draw inspiration from the Thai saying “under the shade of the Bodhi and Srai tree” (ใต้ร่มโพธิ์ร่มไทร), which symbolises the protection of the king. The Bangkok Meditation Hub explores the sequence of meditation through three states: the state of loss, state of calm, and state of ascendancy. Ultimately, the key design principle is to make visitors feel as though they are under the shelter of a tree, immersed in the calm and protection of a forest environment.
