Text description provided by architect.
MVRDV has completed a temporary installation at the heart of Bangkok Design Week, creating a public space that tells a story of plastic waste and recycling in Thailand.
Located on the Lan Khon Mueang Town Square outside the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority City Hall, the Mega Mat is a modular piece made of over 500 recycled plastic mats, showcasing the possibilities for using recycled plastic in everyday objects.
Its bright colors add a burst of energy to the design week and connect the Mega Mat to its surroundings – and also form an 860-square-meter infographic about Thailand's plastic waste processing.
