After becoming familiar with working in architecture well, the studio 'thingsmatter' takes on the role of an artist, and utilizes rebar in the exhibition to communicate issues in the architecture and construction industry | by Napat Charitbutra

“I’ve always felt that these fragments found on construction sites, like formwork, scaffolding, raw materials, and even the way that workers move through the project are incredibly beautiful and conceptual, in the sense that they can be considered both artifacts and happenings,” Savinee said about her view of the process of creating a work of architecture as a form of performance that occurs only temporarily before disappearing.

Tom responded, “In college, I was self-conscious that our design exercises weren’t going to be built. It felt like I was playing with dollhouses, compared to what my friends in other departments did. So I started putting most of my energy into the aesthetics of the process,  rather than a make-believe finished product.”
