22 CHAMBER ACTIVITIES
GTCC Multi-Chamber Seminar: “Design and Constraints – How Limits Boost the Creativities in Architecture” with VIRTUARCH Co., Ltd. Constraints in terms of technology, skills, plant, materials, labour, budget, specific performance requirements and site form are often seen as obstacles, but paradoxically they are necessities for a successful architectural design project. At the GTCC Multi-Chamber Seminar "Design and Constraints – How Limits Boost the Creativities in Architecture", on 7 April 2022, Mr. Therdsiddhi Hoprasartsuk, Managing Director of VIRTUARCH Co., Ltd., explained how constraints in design can stimulate an architect's imagination and thus stimulate a design that meets the needs of the project. He also provided insightful information on how projects are implemented around the world. The seminar was rounded off by an engaging Q&A session with the participants.
