EKAR is a Thai architecture practice founded in 2014 by Ekaphap Duangkaew, a Chiang Mai native, and operating from studios in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Rather than pursuing a self-consciously \u201cThai style,\u201d the firm treats culture as something to be continually reinterpreted rather than frozen in place \u2014 grounding each project in the specific conditions of its site through the coexistence of old and new materials, narratives that echo the past, and a direct response to nature, society, culture, behavior, and time. Every EKAR project reads as a piece of research combining science and art, calibrated to produce a sense of place that expands the boundaries of design across Thai society at large.<\/p>\n

Rossetti+Wyss Architekten was founded in Zurich in January 2000 by Nathalie Rossetti and Mark Aurel Wyss, and works across architecture and urbanism as a multilayered dialogue between space, human, and time. From the renovation of the Cabaret Voltaire \u2014 birthplace of Dada in Zurich \u2014 through new residential and commercial buildings across Switzerland to conversions and property development, the practice pursues a formal language of the reduced, the essential, and the immediate, drawing on reference points as varied as Minimal Art and Arte Povera and giving equal weight to material aesthetics, the effect of light, and spatial order. Guided by what the founders call \u201cthe art of intervention,\u201d the firm reinterprets archetypal forms so that the unforeseen may emerge from the familiar \u2014 producing an architecture that is calm and restrained, consistent rather than loud, and oriented toward the durable rather than the temporary.<\/p>\n

That approach \u2014 recently recognized with the 2025 Aga Khan Award for Architecture for the Majara Residence on Hormuz Island \u2014 embraces whatever outcome emerges, however unsolicited, as what the studio calls adopted aesthetics: an architecture that mediates between state, investors, and local communities on equal terms.<\/p>\n
