PAVA architects was invited to represent the contemporary notion of 'architecture' through the lens of the Thai language and what it means to our practice. The book brings together 25 global architects to write essays in their own language on their view of architecture and translated into English and French.

Translating : Architecture explores the diversity of contemporary notions of architecture through the tool of translation. As a mediator between cultural differences and an instrument of resistance to dominant narratives, translation invites us to renew architectural discourse by opening up to multiple frames of reference.
