Elevated Ground begins with the idea of a “Liveable Scape”, testing how the garden of Bangkok City Hall can become a public space beyond its usual operating hours. The pavilion temporarily opens the enclosed green area to the surrounding city, creating a place for meeting, conversation, information exchange, rest, and small public activities. Its roof is covered with patches of grass taken from the same language as the existing lawn, lifting the ground upward to form a light canopy that filters sunlight during the day and allows artificial light to pass through at night. As the grass dries and changes over time, the roof becomes more porous, shifting the atmosphere of the space throughout the event. Beneath it, free-form circular seating of different sizes and distances creates flexible areas for people to gather, separate, pause, or take part in discussions, allowing the pavilion to support many forms of public life in a simple and temporary way.
