Geoffrey Bawa Trust and Royal Thai Embassy present Thai Architecture Program
Daily FT
|October 25, 2025
The Geoffrey Bawa Trust, in collaboration with the Royal Thai Embassy in Colombo, has announced a new joint Thai Architecture Program.
-
Between October 2025 and March 2026, the Program will bring renowned Thai architects to Colombo to share knowledge and exchange ideas on architectural practices in tropical climates. This initiative aims to strengthen cultural exchange between Sri Lanka and Thailand, celebrating the rich architectural and artistic heritage of both nations.
The Program includes presentations, workshops, and community engagement events to explore how contemporary architecture can offer solutions for healthy and sustainable living in dense urban environments and with increasingly unpredictable climate conditions.
The series opened yesterday at the Thai cultural centre, Siam Nivasa, at 6:30 p.m. with renowned Bangkok-based architect Rachaporn Choochuey. Choochuey’s presentation will explore how architecture can remain light, adaptable, and resilient in the face of heat, humidity, and rapid urban change. Bangkok-based architectural firm all(zone) Co-founder Choochuey will share a design practice rooted in the permissive conditions of her uniquely informal and improvisational city.
