And city planners are transforming their surroundings into landscapes that fight floods. Street artist Alex Face sprays the truth on walls: his daughter standing knee-deep in water. He travels to a village that has already been overwhelmed by the sea. It’s a scenario that city planners and landscape architects in Bangkok are countering with radical new concepts – like buildings that act as gigantic sponges.
