Sense of Local

Lecturer's Abstract

Boonserm Premthada argues that architecture is the physical creation of an atmosphere, serving to heighten our awareness of our natural surroundings. In this lecture, he discusses a variety of his work, considering the manipulation of light, shadow, wind, sound, and smell, alongside the  socio-economic and cultural agenda, with many of his projects including programmes to improve equality.
