The environmentally-efficient canal district design respecting urban context

Abstract

The following paper discusses the development of the work-flow that can be used in practice for the urban environmentally-efficient attraction points design and restoration. We developed the work-flow on the basis of the example of the design of canal district restoration in the heart of the city of Bangkok. The reference concept was developed in the scope of the International Workshop of Ur-ban and Architectural Design X edition, organized by Politecnico di Milano and Chulalongkorn University. The design ideas developed in this project are present in the study. In this article we discuss the importance of water districts restoration from environmental, social and economic points of view. The introduction of the work-flow of the canal district design that has its aim to meet the existing urban context and all the important requirements is important for designers and urban planners, since it can help to resolve a number of questions that have to be properly studied. The importance of introduction of GIS and digital twin technologies to the landscape restoration projects is as well discussed.
