“Dwelling” is fundamental to the well-being of everyone in every society and every culture. At the same time, house is considered a small unit of the architecture. While expanding or uniting, homes form a community and a city with more complexity. "Dwelling" is also a beginning of the space to create a good relationship within the family, the neighborhood, the community and the city in different dimensions.

Realizing the importance of architecture, ASA is organizing Architect’17 under the theme “BAAN BAAN Reconsidering Dwelling” to promote the new concept and innovation in the architectural industry regarding people’s residence. The exhibition also opens up the forum for an exchange of knowledge and ideas among professionals in architectural and engineering industries, as well as construction contractors, related businessmen, and most importantly the general public who are interested in the home which is fundamental for their living.

“BAAN BAAN Reconsidering Dwelling” is categorized into three parts: dwelling, dwelling components, and dwelling surroundings. The three parts of the exhibition will present the concepts of typology, tectonic and thoughts in simple language.
