Bangkok: Iam Fashion Hub – architecture competition
Бангкок претендует на звание столицы моды Ассоциации государств Юго-Восточной Азии (АСЕАН), и местные деятели, разумеется, поддерживают город в его стремлениях. Homemade Dessert в сотрудничестве с известными тайскими дизайнерами организовали конкурс, целью которого стало создание Центра Моды АСЕАН, который бы базировался в столице Таиланда. Центр должен включать в себя мастерские для модельеров и студентов, пространства для проведения лекций, воркшопов и модных показов. Предполагается, что здание будет привлекать внимание как местной, так и международной общественности, что оно станет символом новых талантов в модной индустрии Бангкока.

Since the agreement to form an integrated ASEAN Economic Community into a single market, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand have been attempting to position themselves as the ASEAN Fashion Capital. With no clear front-runner Thailand, and in particular Bangkok, have a real chance of claiming the title despite the fierce competition.
HMMD architecture competitions organisers, in co-operation with some of Bangkok’s most prominent new fashion designers, are supporting Thailand’s goal of becoming the ASEAN Fashion Capital. As such, HMMD asks designers from around the world to submit architecture visions for a regional ASEAN Fashion Hub that would be based in Bangkok.
The purpose of the Fashion Hub is to serve as a central location with the facilities to provide education and experience to both fashion students as well as up and coming local fashion designers. The Fashion Hub will have areas dedicated to workshops and skills labs and facilities to accommodate guest speakers and exchange programs with students and designers from all around the world.
Participants are encouraged to present a building complex that would inspire and attract regional and international attention. The building should be a proud landmark and representation of Bangkok’s emerging talent.
As a central location for fashion in Bangkok the Fashion Hub will also serve as a venue to present and display local and international collections, in the hopes of attracting both designers and investors from other countries to further the city’s standings as the ASEAN Fashion Capital.
