What is TCDC?
TCDC stands for Thailand Creative & Design Center. It was founded to be a centre for learning and research on design and creativity for Thai society, and to strengthen Thai designers and entrepreneurs so they can compete proudly on the global market.
Five floors of creative space
TCDC has five floors. They include the familiar services, such as the library (now expanded from 120 to 300 seats), exhibitions and a co-working space, plus three new areas: business consulting, a makers' lab and a materials and innovation centre.
The new TCDC is built around the concept of "think, make, produce". What has been added compared with the old site is the "make" part, so there is more workshop space for hands-on creative work. It is no longer just a place to look things up, but a place to produce work and grow a business.
Why we like it
We love coming to see exhibitions at TCDC, because there are good rotating exhibitions very often, so there is always something new to see. You also learn how to make small exhibitions interesting and creative. One thing we really like is the lighting, which is done very well in almost every exhibition. It is another great place we want to recommend.
