In Grief

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Karan Paibullert, a beloved faculty member (2003-2023) in the Department of Architecture. He dedicated his life to teaching and inspiring countless students, and his contributions to our School will be sorely missed.

From 2003 to 2023, Karan or “Ajarn Big worked tirelessly to help his students succeed and to inspire them to think creatively and outside the box. He was always willing to lend a sympathetic ear to those in need of advice, and his generosity and compassion touched the lives of many.

His initiative initiatives include “AAU Design Built,” in which he successfully implemented the use of bamboo in our hands-on studio, adhering to the learning by doing pedagogy. His outstanding and commendable contributions to numerous social/charitable service initiative projects included helping tsunami victims and cleaning up Sattahip Beach, to name a few.

Karan’s funeral will be held at Wat That Thong (Sala #11) from April 18-23, 2023:

-the bathing rite: Tuesday, April 18 at 16.00 hrs.
-the funeral prayer:
——Tuesday, April 18 at 18.00 hrs.
——Wednesday, April 19 – Saturday, April 22 at 18.30 hrs.
-the cremation: Sunday, April 23 at 17.00 hrs. at Wat That Thong

To honor his memory and mourn his passing, Assumption University and the School of Architecture and Design will host a prayer service in his honor on Friday, April 21, 2023 at 18:30 hrs. We invite all of Karan’s friends and students to attend and send him to heaven with love and respect.

Karan Paibullert will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on through the countless students whose lives he touched and the contributions he made to the field of architecture.

Rest in peace, Karan Paibullert.

Workshop with Suankularb Samutprakan School

February 15, 2023By archmanNews
Hi, kids! Students in high school and middle school!
Isn’t it beneficial for a kid to double-check his or her interest in architecture and design as early as 8th grade by participating in a nearly realistic design experience?
If that’s the case, tune into this program and an activity like this. The Montfort del Rosario School of Architecture and Design has prepared a design workshop for children in grades 8 and 9 to reach our target audience. On Thursday, February 14, 2023, we visited the Nawamintrachinutit Suankularb Wittayalai Samutprakan School for a series of short presentations on the curriculum and the various design majors that await students at the school. The 8th and 9th graders, 52 in all, worked together on a fun and fast-paced design task that was completed within a few hours. The students built a beautiful miniature house by recreating the environment of a professional architecture or design firm. Way to go kids!

Astrid Klein’s Public Lecture

February 11, 2023By archmanNews
As part of the year-long celebration of our school’s 25th anniversary, we were holding a lecture as just one of many special events.
Reflecting on the title of this lecture, Astrid Klein on February 11 at Alliance Francaise Bangkok took us to look at architecture from another view angle which is about “Joy” and posts a question: “How can architecture be joyful?” And her faith is that it is an approach to make it sustainable. The event was over, but the memory lives on.
