interview Patcharada Inplang co-principal, Sher Maker ¡¿ Youn Yaelim

 

Sher Maker Studio (2019) is located in Chiangmai, northern of Thailand. What is the reason for the current location of the office?

Thongchai Chansamak (co-principal, Sher Maker) and me connected with and deeply relate to local northern culture. We think no place better suited to our nature than Chiangmai. We are local to here and see many local builders have an appropriate sense of the built context so we want to raise architectural issues in the place in which we feel we belong. We learn about local communities and other design contexts when we form a team to work here.

Sher Maker
Sher Maker is a small team of local architects and makers who design and build their work through local architectural design methodologies deriving from Chiangmai, Thailand. With a strong intention behind the process and meaning located in local architectural methodology and deep respect for indigenous architecture in northern of Thailand, their projects are developed through profound consideration of the contexts of local technology and material possibilities. They believe that the formative architecture language emerges through in the adoption of appropriate methods when integrating both physical and atmospheric design in each specific place and specific society.
