The award-winning studio VaSLab’s formula for head-turning masterpieces is simple: create unexpected spaces taking into account the vernacular traditions and culture. The studio’s principle architect, the Pratt Institute graduate Vasu Virajsilp conceives structures that defy the boundary between sculpture and architecture.
Vasu Virajsilp
Co-founded the leading Bangkok-based architectural practice VaSLab.
Juxtaposing angular, monolithic structures against a lush, tropical landscaping.
Moving architecture beyond the ‘form-and-function’ approach to where art and architecture meet, where the language of design is timeless and monumental.
He was struggling to get good grades at Silpakorn University in Bangkok, trying to stick to the style that he liked, so he decided to drop out in the third year and transferred to the Pratt Institute in New York where he graduated with honors.
Casa de la Flora and Mason.
Art, people, and traveling.
Not that I remember.
Museum in a desert.
Three resorts, two hotel towers, a house for an artist, and a church community project.
Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier is always the masterpiece for me. Lately, I admire Herzog de Mueron’s buildings like the Tate Modern and Tai Kwun.
