The Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) is preparing to propose an alternative plan for the Makkasan Complex to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), one that is greener and focused on heritage conservation.
Pongkwan Lassus, ASA's vice-president, said the 400-rai site where the SRT plans to develop the Makkasan Complex Project contains assets worth conserving, including a green area, a cultural heritage site and historically important old buildings.
The Train Repair Plant should be conserved as a cultural heritage site, as it was listed as a conservation building in 2006 by ASA.
