Jak is an Architect & Computational / Parametric Designer based in Bangkok.As the founding member of Tekne Lab, Jak offers design consultancy services for Architects and Engineers across the world. The focus of Tekne Lab is on the development of high end, technology driven design solutions for complex building designs / elements, complex 3Dimensional modelling, geometrical rationalization and optimization, algorithmic and parametric design workflows, full project BIM development and integration, environmental analysis reporting, virtual reality model development, and design to fabrication packages.Jak also set up Tekne Learn to provide high-level grasshopper coaching to architectural professionals, with two current offerings - 'Grasshopper Design Essentials' for entry level users, and 'Grasshopper Advanced: Architect's Standard' for working professional architects - ready to elevate their skills to be at the top of their game.Previously working as an Associate Architect at Foster and Partners in the UK and Thailand; Jak was involved in construction of high-end Apple Global Flagship Stores and commercial / residential masterplan projects in China. Jak's expertise lies in the production of advanced geometrical architecture, computational workflows, digital manufacturing processes and methodologies.Prior to working with Foster and Partners, Jak worked as a Production Design Manager for creative construction company; Nicholas Alexander Ltd. Jak’s role involved bridging the gap between Architecture and Construction, design and making. With a focus on digital manufacturing processes and methodologies, Jak has worked and produced projects with a wide range of architects, designers and artists to create unique installations, exhibitions, objects and events.From 2013 to 2018 Jak was a studio tutor for the MArch studio ‘Abstract Machine’ at the Leeds School of Architecture. The studio’s research explores the application of computational design in the creation of space, form and architecture, with a special interest in the physical realization of complex fabrication systems.
