Appreciation towards MVRDV for providing the following description:

MVRDV在曼谷设计周的核心区域完成了一座临时装置，既是一个公共空间，同时也讲述了泰国塑料废弃物与回收的故事。这座名为Mega Mat的装置位于Lan Khon Mueang Town Square，紧邻曼谷市政厅。它由500多张回收塑料编织而成的垫子组成，展现了回收塑料在日常物品中的应用潜力。其明亮的色彩不仅为设计周增添活力，也使Mega Mat与周围环境形成联结，同时，它还是一幅占地860平方米的信息图，直观展示了泰国塑料废弃物的处理情况。

MVRDV has completed a temporary installation at the heart of Bangkok Design Week, creating a public space that also tells a story of plastic waste and recycling in Thailand. Located on the Lan Khon Mueang Town Square outside the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority City Hall, the Mega Mat is a modular piece made of over 500 recycled plastic mats, showcasing the possibilities for using recycled plastic in everyday objects. Its bright colours add a burst of energy to the design week and connect the Mega Mat to its surroundings – and also form an 860-square-metre infographic about Thailand’s plastic waste processing.

泰国每年产生约200万吨塑料垃圾，如何减少塑料使用、提高回收率已成为全国性的热点议题。面对这一挑战，政府和行业纷纷推出相关政策和框架，以推动更可持续的塑料管理。在这一背景下，MVRDV通过在曼谷设计周的装置，希望以更具创意的方式，展现回收塑料的多功能性，鼓励公众关注这一材料的价值。

Thailand produces around 2 million tonnes of plastic waste a year; the issue has become a hot topic nationwide as industries and the government have introduced policies and frameworks to reduce the consumption of plastic and increase the percentage of waste that is recycled. To build on this national momentum, with their contribution to Bangkok Design Week MVRDV wanted to celebrate the versatility of recycled plastic as a material for everyday products.

Mega Mat采用回收塑料作为制作材料，并将其转化为泰国家庭日常使用的“Sua”垫子。这一传统物品世代相传，如今通过532个模块共同编织成一张巨型垫子，为整个城市提供休憩之地。每个模块尺寸为1.8×0.9米，在曼谷设计周结束后，这些模块将被拆解并进入其“第三次生命”：部分将捐赠给当地寺庙，部分将变为瑜伽垫，还有一些将被再造为手袋等产品。

The Mega Mat takes recycled plastic as the material for a ubiquitous household item, the “Sua”, or mat, on which Thai families have been sitting for generations. A total of 532 modular pieces, woven with a traditional Thai textile pattern, come together to make a supersized Sua for the whole city. With each module measuring 1.8 by 0.9 metres, after Bangkok Design Week the Mega Mat will be dismantled and the individual mats will go on to live a third life – some will be donated to local temples, others will become yoga mats, and others will be upcycled into products such as bags.

Mega Mat的色彩梯度既营造出视觉冲击力，也传达了泰国塑料垃圾的流向：红色代表被送往不卫生垃圾填埋场的塑料垃圾；橙色代表进入有防护措施的填埋场，避免污染土壤的塑料垃圾；黄色代表未被回收且流入环境的塑料垃圾；绿色代表成功回收的塑料垃圾。这一色彩排列呈同心圆形式，呼应了广场后方素塔寺(Wat Suthat Thepwararam)的彩色屋顶，让装置与当地文化建立起视觉联系。

The bright colours of this Mega Mat form a gradient that serves as an infographic display of how plastic waste is currently disposed of in the country: red signifies the percentage of waste that is sent to unsanitary landfills; shades of orange represent the percentage that goes to sanitary landfills, with barriers in place that prevent ground pollution; yellow represents the percentage of waste that goes uncollected; while finally, the shades of green at the centre represent the percentage of plastic that is recycled. The colours, with their concentric arrangement, also reference the colourful roofs of the Wat Suthat Thepwararam, a temple located behind the plaza.

MVRDV创始人Winy Maas表示：“全球范围内，人们越来越意识到日常用品与生态系统的关联。在泰国，这场讨论已经展开，我对此深表赞赏。Mega Mat这一设计不仅是对回收材料潜力的探索，更是对这种可能性的庆祝。在一座以混凝土为主的城市里，这张垫子提供了一个柔软的空间，让人们可以脱鞋而坐、躺下、阅读、玩耍。”

“Around the world, people are understanding the need to think more about the objects they use, and to see products as part of a connected ecological web”, says MVRDV founder Winy Maas. “In Thailand this conversation is already well underway. I encourage that. With our design of the Mega Mat, we also wanted to celebrate it as an opportunity, to see the possibilities that are created by putting an emphasis on recycled materials. In a city dominated by concrete, this mat creates a soft space where you can take off your shoes, sit, lie down, read, and play.”

此外，Mega Mat在一角抬起，形成一个向上弯曲的曲面，这一设计再次呼应了素塔寺屋顶的曲线。这一空间下方形成了一处信息展示区，介绍泰国塑料废弃物与回收的现状，以及Mega Mat织入其中的环保理念。而装置的其余部分，则邀请市民自由使用，让Lan Khon Mueang广场成为他们的户外起居室。

On one corner, the Mega Mat is lifted, with the upwards-curving shape again reminiscent of the roofs of the Wat Suthat Thepwararam. This sheltered corner provides a space to share information, where visitors can find an exhibition about the story of plastic waste and recycling in Thailand and the meaning woven into the recycled plastic of the Mega Mat, while the rest of the installation allows people to sit on and enjoy the Lan Khon Mueang plaza as their outdoor living room.

此次曼谷设计周的Mega Mat仅是MVRDV在可持续建筑探索中的一环。事务所正推动其作品向低碳化(Parisproof)发展，例如：在慕尼黑开设“碳告白”(Carbon Confessions)展览，讲述事务所如何在各个层面减少碳足迹；研发CarbonScape软件，以优化项目的碳排放；创建The Green Dream Foundation，以抵消事务所因出差所产生的碳排放。

MVRDV’s engagement with recycling in Bangkok Design Week is part of the practice’s broader efforts in sustainability, as it aims to transition its portfolio to a low-carbon, “Parisproof” paradigm. The firm recently opened the Carbon Confessions exhibition in Munich that tells the story of their quest for carbon reductions on multiple levels, from developing the CarbonScape software to optimise the emissions of their projects to creating The Green Dream Foundation to offset the travel emissions created in the course of their work.

Mega Mat由泰国创意经济署(Creative Economy Agency)、PTT Global Chemicals和荷兰大使馆共同支持。MVRDV在曼谷设计周期间还推出了多项实践，包括：2月13日至15日，与We!Park合作推出PROMPT PARK，利用人工智能重新想象Sirat高速公路下的废弃空间；2月15日，Winy Maas在Silpakorn大学发表主题演讲“人与场所及建筑”，该演讲的录像将很快公开。通过Mega Mat，MVRDV不仅提供了一座生动的信息图装置，更让回收材料真正融入城市生活，为塑料废弃物的循环再利用提供新的想象空间。

The Mega Mat was created in collaboration with the Creative Economy Agency, PTT Global Chemicals, and the Embassy of the Netherlands. The installation is one of a number of MVRDV actions at Bangkok Design Week: on February 13th–15th, in collaboration with We!Park the firm exhibited PROMPT PARK, a participatory AI project to reimagine a leftover space under the Sirat Expressway at Surawong Road. On February 15th, MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas presented the lecture “People, Places, and Architecture” in the Central Convention Hall at Silpakorn University, a recording of which will soon be made available.
