OUR OBJECTIVES
INCREASE CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Our project objectives are to increase climate resilience in Southeast Asia Cities. As a pilot study of climate-vulnerable communities in three countries, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. By using the built environment as solutions, expanding knowledge of design solutions for climate residence through research, outreach, community participatory workshops, and public education are our actions. This action has involved vulnerable communities, stakeholders, universities, local built environment experts, social enterprises, and policymakers which will benefit the city as a whole. However, the main beneficiaries of our project are residents of vulnerable communities, which located in areas that are especially prone to health, social, and environmental hardship. Our two-year project, which will end in July 2019, will need to be summarized our groundwork, workshop with stakeholders, and lesson learned. To put together the final outcomes, the article with infographics will easily apply and raise awareness of our city at risk in this region.

COASTAL FLOOD
Our coastal resilience project aims to strengthen climate resilience in vulnerable coastal cities across Southeast Asia, with pilot studies in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Focusing on climate-vulnerable coastal communities exposed to flooding, sea-level rise, and environmental stress, we use the built environment as a practical solution while expanding knowledge through research, stakeholder workshops, community participation, and public education. The project brings together residents, universities, local experts, social enterprises, and policymakers to co-develop adaptable design strategies that benefit the wider city. As the two-year initiative concludes, our final article with infographics will summarize key findings, stakeholder engagement, and lessons learned to raise awareness and support scalable coastal resilience solutions across the region.

INLAND
Our inland resilience project focuses on strengthening climate adaptation strategies in vulnerable inland cities across Southeast Asia, with pilot initiatives in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Targeting communities affected by extreme heat, drought, seasonal flooding, and socio-environmental stress, we use the built environment as a key tool to improve resilience and living conditions. Through applied research, participatory workshops, stakeholder collaboration, and public outreach, the project connects residents, universities, local experts, social enterprises, and policymakers to co-create adaptable and context-specific design solutions. The final publication with infographics highlights core findings, collaborative processes, and lessons learned to support scalable inland climate resilience strategies across the region.

WORKSHOPS
Our office organizes interdisciplinary workshops as a central part of our climate resilience approach in Southeast Asia, including initiatives in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. These workshops bring together community representatives, local authorities, universities, planners, environmental experts, and civil society actors to collaboratively address urban and environmental challenges. Through site visits, mapping exercises, scenario development, and open dialogue formats, we create platforms for shared learning and co-creation. Our workshops aim to translate research into practical strategies, strengthen local capacity, and foster long-term partnerships that support resilient, inclusive, and climate-adaptive urban development.

Water as Leverage
EDUCATION
THAILAND REMADE explores technology and its relationship to design in landscape architecture. The studio will develop alternative futures for Thailand’s Lower Chao Phraya floodplain using environmental engineering, landscape construction and technological imagination as a source of design ideas rather than as a set of prescriptive techniques instrumentally shaping the landscape. Class members will give material form and detail to the creation of a design language for water detention and control, reclamation of contaminated soils and water, removal and disposal of municipal waste (hazardous, construction) and imported e-waste and the reconstruction of agriculture, infrastructure and public space using the themes of ‘labor’, ‘permeability’ and ‘beauty’ as a guide within the context of Thai culture and citizens.
