Nothing beats construction of superstructure when it comes to disaster on urban fabric, especially in Bangkok, a city where daily transportation heavily relies on private vehicles and whose authorities believe that building expressway is the answer to traffic problem. Buildings are torn down to give way to the structure and machineries used during construction process. In most cases, they are destroyed only half way or less, just enough to proceed the rushing construction. Some of the leftover structures are kept and new facades are built to reuse the spaces. Some are abandoned to be 'ghost buildings'.
