A nice array of skyscraper designs lines the reflective light path across the main lake of Bangkok’s Benchakitti Park. In an urban area with miles of high-rises in every direction, where their number may top a thousand, the cityscape as a whole presents as a chaotic and disorganized melange of architectural randomness, having no identity whatsoever. Within the massive mess of the whole, it’s best to seek visual cohesion in more-pleasing, readily digestible subsamples. By itself, this would make an admirable, modern and unique downtown skyline for any mid-sized, waterside American city. As an aside, one only wonders what it must cost to procure a penthouse condominium in one of the four nearly identical structures crowned by a helipad.
