Download or read book Bangkok Design written by Brian Mertens and published by Marshall Cavendish. This book was released on 2007 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global design is being spiced up by fresh flavours from Bangkok. Today's young Thai designers create contemporary furniture and interior textiles that appeal to the most sophisticated international tastes, but using tropical Asian accents. The Thais' favourite ingredients are natural materials, fine craftsmanship and inspiration from local culture, which they mix using the kind of eclecticism that makes Thai cooking so delicious. This elegant book goes beyond conventional guides on interior design style to focus on the designers themselves, their philosophies, and how they interpret their unique culture in design. Bangkok DESIGNis the first book of its kind, exploring the acclaimed new furnishings from Thailand and the inspiration behind them. This book profiles 36 of the best Thai designers, showing how they translate their own culture and personal experiences into original products. This group explores a wide variety of styles - minimal, expressionist, modernist, neo-traditional, retro and pop - but each designer has an individual signature. The profiles include several studio artists whose work either has decorative characteristics or else comments on design-related issues like cultural identity and sustainability. This inspiring book, beautifully photographed by Robert McLeod and Lucidly written by award-winning author Brian Mertens, will appeal to interior designers, architects and collectors.

Book Synopsis Modern Thai House by : Robert Powell
Download or read book Modern Thai House written by Robert Powell and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With rich photography and insightful commentary, this Thai architecture and interior design book showcases some of the finest modern masterpieces in Southeast Asia. A tremendous body of sophisticated and sensitively designed architectural work has been produced in Thailand in the first decade of the 21st century. The 25 houses in The Modern Thai House illustrate the radical new ideas coming from a dynamic younger generation of architects who are producing work comparable with and sometimes even surpassing the very best architecture in the world. Most of these architects were trained in the U.S. or U.K. and reflect not only American and European sensibilities but also affinities with their contemporaries in Asia —including Japan, China, Singapore, and Bali—all hotbeds for innovation in modern design. The houses in this book are readily accessible from Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiangmai. They reflect a wide variety of concerns and solutions, such as: sustainability; responses to climate; strategies for cooling with minimal electricity; openness versus security in a large metropolis such as Bangkok; cultural sensitivity and responsiveness, as evidenced in a "three-generation house," built for a society in which the extended family is still prevalent; and cultural memory, as in the use of elements such as pilings, verandahs, and steeply pitched roofs with large overhangs that echo traditional Thai designs. Nurtured by an increasingly knowledgeable and wealthy clientele, modern architecture in Thailand is emerging with a variety of innovative architectural expressions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, , course: Interior Architecture, language: English, abstract: This thesis proposes a design that explores the value of experience and entertainment during servicing in order to create a more user-friendly experience and satisfaction for the costumer. Through exhibitions, we will be able to showcase luxury car brands. And the use of a gathering space and a co-working and conventional space would be the base for interactions between users. The car service center would be a mixed- use service. The thesis will utilize architectural and design techniques for more interactive spaces so that users become more familiar with the history of luxury car brands and the direction different brands are headed towards. It will serve as a place of exhibition, sales and services as well holding conferences to utilize the building and the hotels connected. This building will act as a land mark that attract luxury users Thonburi District. The Luxury Car Center will be located near the intersection of Charoen Nakhon and Rama III, in order to both benefit from such a mixture of a service, community and center so that other car-service costumers in the area also could utilize this active space. This center will act as a mixture of the past, present and future. A center that drives on fulfilling the needs of customers.
Book Synopsis Bangkok Wakes to Rain by : Pitchaya Sudbanthad
Download or read book Bangkok Wakes to Rain written by Pitchaya Sudbanthad and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A house in the center of Bangkok becomes the point of confluence where lives are shaped by upheaval, memory, and the lure of home. Witness to two centuries' flux in one of the world's most restless cities, a house plays host to longings and losses past, present, and future. A nineteenth-century missionary doctor pines for the comforts of New England even as he finds the vibrant foreign chaos of Siam increasingly difficult to resist. A post-war society woman marries, mothers, and holds court, little suspecting the course of her future. A jazz pianist is summoned in the 1970s to conjure music that will pacify resident spirits, even as he's haunted by ghosts of his former life. Not long after, a young woman gives swimming lessons in the luxury condos that have eclipsed the old house, trying to outpace the long shadow of her political past. And in the post-submergence Bangkok of the future, a band of savvy teenagers guides tourists and former residents past waterlogged, ruined landmarks, selling them tissues to wipe their tears for places they themselves do not remember. Time collapses as these stories collide and converge, linked by blood, memory, yearning, chance, and the forces voraciously making and remaking the amphibian, ever-morphing city itself"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Bangkok Days written by Lawrence Osborne and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PASSIONATE, AFFECTIONATE RECORD OF ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURES IN THE WORLD'S HOTTEST METROPOLIS Tourists come to Bangkok for many reasons—a sex change operation, a night with two prostitutes dressed as nuns, a stay in a luxury hotel. Lawrence Osborne comes for the cheap dentistry. Broke (but no longer in pain), he finds that he can live in Bangkok on a few dollars a day. And so the restless exile stays. Osborne's is a visceral experience of Bangkok, whether he's wandering the canals that fill the old city; dining at the No Hands Restaurant, where his waitress feeds him like a baby; or launching his own notably unsuccessful career as a gigolo. A guide without inhibitions, Osborne takes us to a feverish place where a strange blend of ancient Buddhist practice and new sexual mores has created a version of modernity only superficially indebted to the West. Bangkok Days is a love letter to the city that revived Osborne's faith in adventure and the world.

Book excerpt: Does Bangkok have a centre? How would you classify that Thai smile you just received by height and angle? What do the flames and curlicues of Thai design have in common with conch shells and cactus? After shopping, nightlife, and temples, you start to wonder where the appeal of Bangkok really lies. Sequel to Alex Carr's award-winning Lost Japan, Bangkok Found takes you on a journey to the origin in this series of meditations on the city.

He relives the myth of old Bangkok, watching masked dancers perform by moonlight at his old teak house, only to find that modern artists are also creating a mystical new city based on cultural fashion.
