In 2008, Architects 49 and its affiliated firms in the 49 Group celebrated the 25th anniversary of its establishment. This monograph marks this achievement with another collection of the firm’s impressive works, complementing its 2002 volume, Architects 49: the Master Architect Series V, also published by The Images Publishing Group.
The 49 Group is now one of the largest and most multidisciplinary architectural and engineering practices in Southeast Asia, with full proficiency in every building-related fields. Its projects span a wide range of types- from houses, resorts, and hotels to high-rises, museums, and educational facilities.
This monograph presents more than 100 significant works in Thailand and throughout Asia. Many projects are presented from a number of perspectives, giving readers an insight into the way that the 49 Group combines architecture, interiors, planning, landscape design, and graphic design to achieve its unique blend of contemporary design that is underpinned by a reverence for Thai culture and philosophy.
It is the 49 Group’s hope that this book will benefit students, inspire greater collaboration between the architectural and engineering communities, and contribute to the development of these professions in Thailand and throughout the world.
