Hutsama Juntaratana is a Bangkok-based architectural designer who uses a multidisciplinary approach to construct the experiential conversation between people and the built environment. With her continuing focus on creating positive social and environmental impacts, her design interest has always been attracted to imagining ways we can build more sustainably. Through many installations, she worked with the reversible design principle where all the built structure and materials can be taken apart and repurposed for the next project or transformed into a new product. As a result of integrating rental structures, inflatable, and textile materials into the design to minimise waste. Her recent design projects include ‘Rueng Loy’ a floating soundscape installation featured in Wonderfruit 2022, ‘Haystack 2.0’ a modular pillow seating made from a used vinyl banner for Polygon Live 2022, and the circular stage design concept for Karma Klique’s music event.

 

Hutsama’s bio-based materials journey started during the pandemic when our daily lives were forced to be transformed. Her project ‘Plastic Twins’ explores an alternative recycling process for both single-used plastic and domestic food waste. The material samples of Plastic Twins are included in the archive of the Future Materials Bank, the sustainable materials archive of Jan Van Eyck Academie. Hutsama’s current practice focuses on local bio-based materials design research and facilitating bio-based materials workshops. She has been a guest lecturer on design with bio-based materials at INDA Faculty of Architecture and Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University.
