The stair is one of the most elemental and enduring components of architecture. It is a structure in motion—a connector of levels, a sculptural form, a spatial sequence, and a symbol of ascent, descent, and transition. It guides the body and engages the mind. It is at once practical and poetic.

Light is one of the most important factors when designing homes, and the use of natural light is vital in creating a space that feels both comfortable, inviting and practical. It could be said that lighting is a form of language that architects can use to communicate emotions in the spaces and structures they design.

Future nostalgia refers to a compelling architectural design concept that draws inspiration from the past and seamlessly blends it with modern innovations and technologies. The objective transcends creating merely aesthetically pleasing spaces; it aims to infuse them with profound meaning—interweaving culture, society, and nature across both present and future contexts. This approach aspires to preserve and evolve historical knowledge and values that enrich our way of life, all while accommodating the shifting needs of future generations. In today's architectural landscape, there's a pronounced emphasis on looking ahead—designing cutting-edge, comfortable buildings that heavily rely on the latest technologies and contemporary insights. While this forward-thinking stance offers undeniable benefits, it often overlooks the wisdom and heritage of the past. The consequence can be designs that lack a meaningful connection to their original roots. Therefore, the international design competition "Futurism: Future Nostalgia in Architecture" serves as an invitation for architects to use the concept's definition to explore creative approaches and develop designs that link the past—in facets ranging from society, culture, and people to nature, place, and time—through the prism of modern knowledge, tools, and technologies. Participants are encouraged to venture without limitations on location or scale, using Thailand as a case study. The aim is to forge new forms of futurist architecture that honor and reflect upon the past through today's lens, guiding us toward a shared architectural future. The international architects and jurors include Kulthida Songkittipakdee, Adul Kaewdee, Christo Meyer, Kulapat Yantrasast, and Jenchieh Hung of HAS design and research.

Everyone is talking about AI these days. But what exactly is AI? How did it evolve? And what potential does it have to influence the future? This lecture takes you on a rollercoaster ride looking at the extraordinary - but often somewhat terrifying - potential of what is arguably the most significant invention of humankind. The lecture concludes that we are about to face radically different form of intelligence-and alien intelligence-that will far exceed human intelligence, and completely transform the discipline of architecture.
