The second lecture in the 'Thai Architects Program,' a three-part initiative by the Royal Thai Embassy and Geoffrey Bawa Trust to promote architectural awareness and knowledge sharing, will be held on 27 November at 6:30 p.m. at Siam Nivasa.

It will feature renowned LA-based architect Kulapat Yantrasast, who will discuss the role of architecture and museum design in cultural placemaking in the 21st century. Museums are critical public spaces for community building and social engagement, and Yantrasast has acquired a reputation as one of the art world's preeminent architects, designing genre-defying spaces with a focus on the human impact of the arts. This event is a unique opportunity to hear from a global leader in contemporary architecture practice and museum design.
