The Faculty of Architecture’s origins in Chiang Mai University began in 1995, when architecture began to be taught as a subject by the Faculty of Fine Arts. Believing that an understanding of architecture derives from studying various fields of knowledge and processes that harmonize to form the interdisciplinary subject of architecture, the Faculty of Architecture was officially instituted on March 3, 2000 with the aim of becoming northern Thailand’s primary institution for the study of architecture.

Charm Learn Studio, a ceramic art co-op, was founded in 2012 by three passionate designers, Thanita Yothawong, Natthapol Wannaporn and Chanchai Boriboon in Bangkok. Their signature product is a ceramic lunch-box set “Pin-To”, which has clinched various recognitions, such as the PM Award 2017, the DeMark Award 2017 and the Good Design Award 2017. In 2020, Natthapol Wannaporn opened a branch in Chiang Mai, his hometown, under the name Charm Learn Studio CNX. Located in San Kamphaeng, a district well-known for ceramics, the studio is aimed at those who are interested in ceramics, offering a space for artisans and enthusiasts to work and share their ideas. Through events, workshops and residency programs, Charm Learn Studio’s vision is to create a community space for artists and craft makers as well as elevate ceramics as an artform by itself. The studio also cooperates with the Chiang Mai City of Craft and Folk Arts initiative, and Chiang Mai Design Week by TCDC.
