Old Market Library

The commercial centre of the Min Buri Market disappeared due to a fire in the late nineties. The community has diminished from a lively origo into a slum-like area. For this project to be successful it was important to involve the inhabitants actively throughout the whole process, from inception to completion. The refurbishment was a demonstration of what can be achieved by the inhabitants themselves, through own initiative, using local inexpensive materials and their own knowledge.
