Bangkok Project Studio is an architecture practice founded in 2003 by Boonserm Premthada. He was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts (Interior Design) with first class honours in 1988 and an Architecture Master's from Chulalongkorn University in 2002.
Boonserm Premthada (1966), architect and artist, is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Architecture at Chulalongkorn University and believes that architecture is the physical creation of an atmosphere that serves to heighten man’s awareness of his natural surroundings. His work isn’t about designing a building, but rather the manipulation of light, shadow, wind, sound, and smell, creating “poetics in architecture” that are a living being sense.
Boonserm’s work has won many international awards, including the ar+d Award for Emerging Architecture in 2011. He has also been shortlisted for the Aga Khan Awards for Architecture 2013, the Grand Prize International Brick Architecture 2014, Overall Winner The Plan Awards 2017, Acknowledgement Prize, Regional LafargeHolcim Awards 2017 Asia Pacific, the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2018, the Royal Academy Dorfman Awards 2019, The Winner of 2021 Wallpaper* Design “Best Sanctuary” Elephant World and The Golden Madonnina 2021 of THE DESIGN PRIZE in the category SOCIAL IMPACT, Italy.
