Abstract

This article explores the design approach of the art installation titled "Urban ThisAbility" which received funding from Bangkok Design Week 2023 and created by artists Torpong Limlunjakorn, Pornrak Chowvanayotin and Arnun Chantan. This project aims to raise awareness about ideal urban environments that accommodate people with disabilities. The artworks are created within the constraints of the installation venue to effectively convey this message. It also explores the cognitive processes involved in creating spatial and symbolic interpretations using grid concepts, reflective elements, and luminous emitting, drawing from relevant literature. The art installation was crafted through a comprehensive process to foster contemporary artistic awareness. The “Urban ThisAbility” project garnered positive feedback for its artistic merits and successful dissemination of awareness about urban mobility challenges for people with disabilities. Additionally, the responses from individuals with disabilities towards this work were insightful. This article seeks to be a valuable resource for students and enthusiasts of installation art and symbolic interpretation, providing a foundation for future studies in this field.
