Modern Thai Architecture has been neglected by officials and overlooked by the general public in Thailand, which has led to the routine demolition of buildings of great historical and cultural value. The project aims to celebrate modern architecture culture in Thailand, in hopes of enhancing the general public’s appreciation for architecture and providing a better understanding of architecture for those who wish to deepen their knowledge.

The project strives to be a source of inspiration and references for architects. Moreover, the project will contribute to the preservation of modern Thai architecture while helping to proliferate new ideas and innovations in architecture. Visitors will be able to learn more about lost architecture in Thailand through the context of the site. The site is located right next to Bangkok’s historic Chao Phraya River, which has lost its reputation as Bangkok’s most prominent dockyard over the course of time. Therefore, the site is itself an example of “lost” architecture.
