Living Again

The team comprises three fourth-year Architecture students from Chulalongkorn University—Pharkin Patthanangkoor, Pattarakarn Bupphakij, and Tanapat Pretanont—who share a strong interest in exploring architecture through people, culture, society, and the built environment.
Pharkin Patthanangkoor is passionate about exploring how thoughtful design can respond to people, culture, and the built environment. He approaches architecture as a process of learning and discovery, where every project offers an opportunity to develop new ideas and create meaningful spaces. Alongside his studies, he served as Project Manager on the data team at PINUP, a real estate and urban development platform, where he structured organizational data, managed project timelines, and coordinated workloads across the team. He previously led the proofreading team for Ruen Thai, the Faculty of Architecture's class magazine, establishing editorial standards and coordinating the team's workflow. He has also participated in design competitions, including the Kengo Kuma & Higashikawa KAGU Design Competition and the HOYA Sustainable Design Competition.
Pattarakarn Bupphakij is interested in architectural sense, culture, tradition, craft, and representation. Her work explores the relationship between people, place, material, and cultural identity, with a particular focus on translating traditional ideas and craftsmanship into contemporary architectural expressions.
Tanapat Pretanont explores the relationship between architecture and political perspectives, with a particular interest in social movements and the ways architecture can respond to changing communities. His interests extend to urban sprawl, rural connections, and the potential of architecture to contribute to the development of cohesive communities.
Together, their diverse interests and experiences reflect a shared curiosity about how architecture can engage with cultural identity, social change, and the relationships between people and place.
