“…Ideas and future development trends arising from the design thinking process: The One-Hundred-Year-Old Market is the landmark of the Ban Bu community, and its revival should take into account the preservation of the original market structure since the community residents want to retain the same trees and make the area more accessible for holding events and festivals [130][131][132][133][134]. Space will also need to be provided for commercial use and a new walkway axis designed to link the market to the old waterfront road, as was also planned elsewhere in Bangkok [135].…”

Design Thinking and Urban Community Development: East Bangkok

2022

This research focuses on community development and ways in which community members can express their opinions and maintain well-being. However, in many contexts, these voices have been enfeebled through top-down approaches, lack of a concrete scenario, and attention to community problems, all of which are frequently associated with prejudices based on social status, education, or gender. For the first time within an urban context, the Ban Bu/Wat Suwannaram community in Bangkok, Thailand, has been given the opportunity to voice their opinions about the community, the direction it should take, and the overall improvement to be made, without the constriction of external authorities. This study applies design thinking, which despite being one of the major trends in business over the last couple of decades, is not generally used to address social issues. Since design thinking requires data collection and the creation of a model/prototype, two complementary procedures are employed. Firstly, the community is studied through observation and interviews, which helped creating a SWOT analysis to identify its potential and facilitate an informal discussion with members of the local community on the situation before urbanisation loosened community ties. After this initial stage, a prototype for various areas of community development is discussed in a community workshop to enable participants to offer their opinions on how the community could develop further. The results reveal the aspirations of the local community towards improving social and environmental issues.

“…Recent works highlight both the urgency and potential for the recovery of derelict and depressed urban areas, particularly the potential of brownfields (Dixon 2001;Franz et al 2006;Ganser and Williams 2007;Heberle and Wernstedt 2011;Frantál et al 2015) as a trigger for urban resilience (Eraydin 2013;Petrescu et al 2016;Stevenson and Petrescu 2016;Cenci 2018;Wilkinson 2018) . Recent scholarship has also emphasized the role of self-organized community-led initiatives in the reactivation of these urban premises (Abu Zayed and Al-Kurdi 2019; Kim et al 2020;Virani 2020) through urban tactics, in the form of temporary use or take overs in the face of inability or stagnation on the part of planned strategies (Haydn and Temel 2006). In this regard, artistic-led initiatives stand out for their revitalization of depressed urban environments, serving as fonts for creativity and innovation (Florida 2003;Bosák et al 2019) and underscoring the relevance of derelict built stock as a research object.…”

The concept of resilience remains vague as it pertains to the buildings' scale and the architectural dimension, particularly when dealing with the recovery and reuse of former industrial premises. This study advocates for socio-ecological (bounding-forward) resilience and the use of Panarchy heuristics to analyze the embedded resilience of building stock. This research is based on a case study of CanFugarolas, in Mataró (Barcelona), a former workshop converted into a socio-cultural center. Here, the building becomes a repository for latent urban dynamism, where spatial transformation is the mechanism by which embedded resilience is released in the form of social dynamism.Adaptive spatial capability (potential) translates into social dynamism (performance) because of socio-spatial interactions. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the spatial and social parallel evolution of the case study reveals that i) a strong correlation exists between spatial transformation and social participation; ii) spatio-functional tactics and spatial adaptive capabilities are social and formal complementary mechanisms for spatial appropriation during social progression; iii) spatial diversification and hierarchization are evidence of spatial specialization, resulting from said socio-spatial interactions. Eventually, iv) indications of thresholds appear in the form of spatial overfragmentation and hyper-specialization, denoting spatial exhaustion and embedded resilience limitations.
