The Spring 2024 School of Architecture Lecture Series continues on Friday, February 23rd at 1:30 pm with Boonserm Premthada for the Tesar Lecture on Architecture and Culture.

Boonserm Premthada and his award-winning practice, Bangkok Project Studio, move away from placing humans at the center. He argues that architecture is the physical creation of an atmosphere, serving to heighten our awareness of our natural surroundings. In doing so, we can learn how to be humane and treat humans, nature, and animals as all equal in a space. This sensitivity is visible in all his projects, for which he credits 50% of his design as being left to nature, allowing unexpected moments of interaction between humans and animals; these works invite their visitors to slow down and connect with nature.

Beyond the realms of theory and practice, Premthada`s work also carries a strong socio-economic, cultural, and environmental agenda, as many of his projects have social programs that aim to improve the lives of the underprivileged and the ecosystem.

Please join us for this in person lecture next Friday in Burns auditorium, Kamphoefner hall. The event will also be available to stream via zoom.
