Patcharada Inplang

Sher Maker is a small team of architects and makers who design and build the work through local methodology of architecture in specific context. Founded by Patcharada Inplang, Thongchai Chansamak, 2018 in Chiangmai, Thailand. 
They focus to learn from deliberately first-hand experience in daily life as tool for emergence of self-realization wisdom.

With a strong intention in define architecture though the process and meaning behind local architectural methodology. With respect in anthropology related architecture and influence from vernacular ecological knowledge in Northern of Thailand, our project is developed through deeply collective of local resource which depend on the context of building technology and economic possibility. A strong studio culture as workshop and material research is a main tool in design process which allow them to explore more domestic resource and folk building technique.
They believe, the method of formative architecture language will show out by the suitable method of design that deep considerate all those factors behind.

Sher Makerはタイのチェンマイにて、Patcharada Inplang氏とThongchai Chansamak氏によって2018年設立。彼らは建築家と職人から構成される小さなチームで、伝統的な建築手法を用い設計・施工を行う。

日常生活における直接的な経験を意図的にとらえ、自らを実現する探求のためのツールとして機能させることに重点を置いている。

彼らのプロジェクトは、その土地特有の建築手法の背後にあるプロセスと意味を通して建築を定義するという強い意志のもと、タイ北部の伝統的建築と生態学的知識から影響を受けるとともに、技術的及び経済的可能性の文脈に焦点を当て、地域社会との深い連携を通じて展開される。ワークショップや素材のリサーチを重視し、デザインプロセスにおける主要なツールとして機能させる彼らの手法は、多くの地域資源や伝統的な建築技術の探求を可能とする。彼らは背景にある全ての要因を反映する適切なデザイン手法により建築的な言語が形成されることを信じ、実践している。
