Bangkok Modern
Architecture of the 1950s - 1970s
- A visually stunning document of the modernist period in Thailand
- A unique study on the transformative period in Bangkok's evolution
In the post-war decades, Thai architects, many of whom had studied abroad, embraced modern principles as they addressed the pressing demand for residential and commercial space, as well as the shortage of public facilities, in the rapidly growing capital of Thailand. With more than 300 documented buildings, Bangkok Modern provides an unprecedented and comprehensive overview of the architecture of this transformative period and is unique in combining photography, carefully researched background and scholarly essays. The book aims to serve as a visual document, raise awareness of the city’s modernist buildings and contribute to a better understanding and discussion of their architectural merits and their social, cultural, and historic value.
