CASE (Community Architects for Shelter and Environment) is a group of young Thai architects in practice for more than ten years. They are the first practice that I will embed myself in for the research project; working with the informal, learning from the informal. From June until December I will work with CASE, participating in a range of their projects and learning from their unique philosophy and methods of community engagement. The results of this will be continuously documented on this blog.
Below is an introduction to the work of CASE. More detailed information is available from their website (http://www.casestudio.info)
Informalism is the online presence of an international research project, 'working with the informal, learning from the informal', which seeks to explore the way architects and other urban practioners engage with the informal city, the city as built by people themselves. The project has been jointly funded by the NSW Architects Registration Board through the Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship and the University of Melbourne Asialink Centre through the Dunlop Asia Fellowship.
