Boonserm, 52, won the Culture Ministry-sponsored Silpathorn Award for architecture this year and also holds the 2019 Royal Academy Dorfman Award for Architecture from the UK-based Royal Academy of Arts. Most architects and property developers are these days concerned about the environment and the community when designing a building, said Boonserm. “When I design, I learn about the community, environment and culture around the location where the project will be built. Then I will design the project to serve that community, environment, and culture. My project is not only about the building, all of my building designs present the lives of the people around the project,” Boonserm said.
