The demolition of the Scala Theatre, Dusit Thani Hotel and Siam Intercontinental Hotel had widespread media coverage. However, many people may not know that other important modern structures such as the old parliament building, Arkanmai at Suan Amporn and the Telephone Organization of Thailand building in Chidlom were also demolished. As time passes, more examples of modern architecture are gradually vanishing without the attention and knowledge of most people.
Since 2016, Weerapon Singnoi, an architectural photographer, has been photographing significant structures of Thai modernism and posting them on foto-momo.com, facebook.com/fotomomo.project and instagram.com/foto_momo in an attempt to capture these buildings before they are demolished. In addition to photos, facebook.com/fotomomo.project provides knowledge about modernism and news of global modern architecture.
