Leonor Gomes

Editorial Assistant

Celebrate the year-end creative festival at “Chiang Mai Design Week 2025” (CMDW2025), now in its 11th edition, organized by the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization) – Northern Regional Office. This milestone year amplifies local potential by bringing together designers, artists, entrepreneurs, and communities across the region — while connecting international creative energy — under the theme “Local Plus: Creativity, Technology, Sustainability,” from 6 - 14 December 2025 across Klang Wiang, Chang Moi - Tha Phae, and Sanpakoi in Chiang Mai. Expect must-see programs that “Add” ideas, “Multiply” opportunities, “Divide/Share” knowledge, “Subtract” constraints, and go “Infinite” across generations — uniting the power of “Local Plus,” because Chiang Mai Design Week is a stage for global creativity.

Interview: Mona Vijaykumar on Future-Focused Urban Design

Public space feels most alive when it invites people to slow down, meet, and share moments together. This is what ESCOFET has been dedicated to for more than a century, shaping cities with urban elements that combine strength, function, and imagination. Their recent collaboration with Foster + Partners produced Gather and Tiers, two collections that prove concrete can be light, adaptable, and even welcoming.
