BUCC (Bangkok University Creative Center) is the playground for the curious and the bold! This place is all about flipping the script on today’s youth activities and diving headfirst into the latest Thai policies. Bangkok University is shaking things up, moving from its agricultural and industrial roots into a wild, thrilling “creative economy.” BUCC is where the magic gets real.
Smack dab on the 1st and 2nd floors of the slick new BU Landmark building, BUCC is buzzing with energy. The showstopper? The “Lo-Fi Pixel Wall”—a gigantic, interactive, technicolor wonder wrapping the lift core at the entrance. Picture this: 10,000 custom plastic units in electric pink, sky blue, neon green, and sunshine yellow. Twist and turn them to create dazzling patterns, leave cheeky notes, and watch the wall morph daily.
The workshop area? It’s the beating heart of BUCC, where students from all walks of life collide for a smorgasbord of programs. Flexibility is the name of the game here. The internet corner? Think spaceship! And yes, it can zip around to create different spaces for whatever crazy activity is on the agenda. Right next to this cosmic corner is the topographical shelf—a funky fusion of bookcase and bench, perfect for lounging and brainstorming.
Even the BUCC office is all about smashing boundaries. The staff’s working table is one continuous, undivided surface attached to a leaning wall. This means workspaces stretch and shrink like a living organism based on who’s collaborating at any moment.
BUCC isn’t just a place—it’s an ever-evolving, boundary-pushing hub where creativity runs wild and students unleash their imaginations. Get ready for a ride through a whirlwind of fun, flexibility, and endless possibilities!
