Architect Expo 2022, now the event’s 34th edition, takes place under the theme “CO-WITH CREATORS”, with the main focus being put on integrative collaborations from every sector within the design community and industry and the ‘co-create’ climate it can facilitate for creators from various design disciplines, whether it be architects, landscape architects, artists, designers, lighting designers, fashion designers, photographers or creative practitioners in other related professional fields. The end result that the event hopes to bring is a greater diversity in architecture, achieved through different, collaborative ideas.
Architect Expo 2022 will be the first time the event welcomes three representatives of the chairmans from three regions (North, South and Northeast) to the steering committee to develop the work process under the ‘CO-WITH CREATORS’ concept. The committee is set to work with architects from all parts of the country, and put together collaborations with creators from other design disciplines, for example, Ductstore the Design Guru Company Limited has been chosen to be the creative partner for the design of the event’s key visuals, which includes the unique artwork by renowned street artist, Benzilla.
The 34th Architect Expo consists of a great number of interesting seminars and exhibitions, each proposing different approaches to the concept of ‘collaboration’. The Co-with Covid exhibition presents spatial typologies developed specifically to cope with the pandemic and the New Normal lifestyle while the Professional collaboration pairs up 12 architects and 12 creators from different regions for an exhibition that showcases their interdisciplinary collaborations, remote communication and work processes.
Another highlight of this year’s event is the thematic pavilions, which is a special style of exhibition space employed and curated for the first time with the Architect Expo. The spatial design enables visitors to experience exciting collaborations between young-generation designers and construction material suppliers where products from each brand are used to produce design creations of world-class quality.
Architect’22 CO-WITH CREATORS will take place between April 26th and May 1st, 2022 at Challenger Hall, Impact Muang Thong Thani.
