Thailand
The Thai Pavilion's exhibition for the 14th International Architecture Exhibition focuses on the importance of spirituality in Thai architecture and the need to preserve it amidst the absorption of modernity. The exhibition presents an installation by architect Lek Bunnag that uses Thai spirituality as a fundamental principle and aims to stimulate the development of a new architectural language that enhances Thai identity. The curatorial team will also publish four essays examining Thailand's process of absorbing modernity and its influence on architectural discourse.

Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
