This issue of ASA Journal, Wood is Good, features contemporary wooden architecture projects by Thai architects, such as a hotel design by Habita Architects, a meditation center by DBALP, an art exhibition building by Sumphat, and a residential project by Yangnar Studio, as well as a church design by Spanish architect Paco Garcia Moro in Tak Province.

In addition to being designed with materials and concepts that respond to the effects of climate change that we will increasingly face in the future, wooden architecture is still considered to create new skills and knowledge in woodworking that both build upon and carry forward the traditional wisdom, incorporating new things from various contexts and cultures. Creating knowledge, craftsmanship, and originality in wooden architecture is essential for keeping up with changing times and human needs.
