message from the president
Hello to all Association of Siamese Architects members
under Royal Patronage and readers of the ASA Journal.
First and foremost, I’d like to invite everyone to attend
Architect’67, the ASA’s annual significant event. This
year’s theme is Collective Language: Touching Architecture,
highlighting the uniqueness of interacting with
architects and designers’ boundless language. It also
underlines the significance of architecture and designs
that people worldwide experience. Furthermore, in
2024, the Association of Siamese Architects will have
promoted the profession of architecture to the general
public for exactly 90 years. As a result, it is an excellent
opportunity for this year’s Architect Expo; in addition
to being a space that connects people from all over the
world in the field of architecture, it is also an area that
collects stories of architectural communication
over the past 90 years of the association’s founding,
allowing people to celebrate and realize the future
together. The event will include seminars, exhibitions,
design work, and construction technology. Architect '67
will take place from April 30 to May 5, 2024, at
Challenger Hall 1-3, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani.
For the ASA Journal, Issue 16, published between the
end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, the theme is
“Out of the Blocks.” This issue's content focuses on
the use of brick materials in architectural design to
produce a use that responds to the building’s function
and time while also presenting its beauty and intrigue
in new ways through features and architectural
components. This issue’s material will be helpful; it is
a guideline and inspiration for everyone looking to
create designs and expand their work.

As president of the ASA, I would like to thank all
