A lavishly illustrated and visually stunning study of the buildings that changed Bangkok from 1950-1970. 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.
