The School for Architecture and Design (SOAD) exemplifies budget-conscious university construction. Completed in 2000, this seven-floor building features a courtyard-centered layout with naturally ventilated single-sided corridors connecting classrooms. Natural lighting is prioritized through large windows, yet green spaces are minimal. Recent renovations aimed to enhance co-working areas. The design adheres to common university building elements: a front drop-off stair, open-air common area for ventilation, and potential student social spaces. Walkways are minimized to meet Thailand's building code. Upper floor classrooms connect via corridors, while each classroom has AC and natural ventilation access. The central untreated courtyard is surrounded by classrooms. Exposed concrete is prevalent, rubble tile aids acoustics, and painted walls dominate. Fire escape compliance places the main stair and elevator opposite the courtyard.
