Architects’ Role in the Society
Sathirut Tandanand,
ARCASIA, AIA
ASA,
I’ve recently been asked a question by a
journalist to define “What is an architect.”
This question, as simple as it may seem
made me reflect upon myself as an
architect, my role and contribution to my
profession and what I can do for my nation.
The presentation and discussion is about
my journey from the first time I’ve heard
the word “architect” to the present, as well
as issues that are important to me.
SATHIRUT TANDANAND finished his
Master of Science in Architecture
& Urban Design at the Columbia
University, USA in 1983. Nui is a
Registered Chartered Architect in his
native country Thailand. He is also a
member of the American Institute of
Architects (AIA) and of the SingaporeThai Chamber of Commerce. At present,
he is the President Elect of ARCASIA
while managing Dhevanand Co., Ltd. in
Bangkok.
