In the post-war decades, Thai architects, many of whom had studied abroad, embraced modern principles as they addressed the pressing demand for residential and commercial space, as well as the shortage of public facilities, in the rapidly growing capital of Thailand. Although building materials and budgets were limited, their designs were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local climate, social values, materials, technology and utilisation in an often unique and aesthetically pleasing way.
With more than 300 documented buildings and ensembles, Bangkok Modern - Architecture of the 1950s-1970s provides an unprecedented and comprehensive overview of the architecture of this transformative period and is unique in combining photography, carefully researched background information and scholarly essays.The book aims to serve as a visual document, raise awareness of the city’s modernist buildings and contribute to a better understanding and discussion of their architectural merits and their social, cultural and historical value.
