Gombak, – Kuliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED) has successfully conducted the Heritage and Contemporary Studies Exhibition for the 13th time this year at the KAED Gallery, IIUM. The theme ‘MONOCLE: Voyage to a New Perspective in Bangkok, Thailand’ is a program from 18th to 20th February.

The Program Manager of the event, Adrina Sofea Masri, stated that ‘the program focuses on the infusion between modern and traditional architectural designs of Thailand’.

The aim of this exhibition is to promote and cultivate the differences in cultures and provide students with a real learning experience, cultural immersion as well as appreciating the authenticity of Thai culture.
