| Synopsis: |
Since 1980, the urban landscapes in Thailand have undergone dramatic changes, epitomised by the case of Bangkok, which has grown from a medium-sized capital city into a megapolis. In this metamorphosis, Architects 49, founded in 1983, has played a considerable role from the very beginning, by the sheer volume of the firm's achievements. Architects 49, a rather large-scale firm, has been involved in a wide range of projects, varying in types and sizes, comprising individual dwellings, golf clubs, small, medium-sized and tall office buildings, commercial centres, museums, stadiums and university faculty complexes. This text is a collection of the work of Architects 49, providing the reader with an awareness of the architecture of Thailand. |
