Hello, dear fellow members and readers of the
ASA Journal. As the president of the Association
of Siamese Architects under Royal Patronage, I am
delighted to present you with the fourteenth issue of
our beloved journal, featuring updates and reports
on some interesting new construction materials,
architectural innovations, and technologies. I would
like to express my appreciation for the team’s commitment
to bringing the readers engaging content,
covering comprehensive aspects from the selection
of fascinating architectural projects, materials, and
innovations. Featured in this issue are many stories
of wood and its ongoing evolution and innovations
that are meant to inspire everyone to continue pursuing
their architectural and creative endeavors.
In addition to design, which has been the primary
focus of the journal over the years, we have organized
a variety of activities, including lectures, site visits,
and so on, offering opportunities for members to
experience and learn more about every aspect of
the profession.
