The 19 speakers from 13 countries presented the trends, innovations and opportunities for composites materials in the construction and architecture industry. Among the very informative speeches, Duangrit Bunnag, owner and founder at Duangrit Bunnag Architect Limited in Thailand, shared his view on ‘New Architectural Typology’, according to a press release.

“Considering the outcomes of this event, we at JEC Group, believe that composite materials have great opportunities in the construction industry. The feedbacks from the many attending architects and end-users are very positive and we will keep on developing this topic on our next events,” Christian Strassburger, JEC Group events director for Asia said.

“We are delighted to hear such positive feedback from all participants. I would like to thank in particular all speakers who have done an excellent job. The continuity of the event into its third year also leads local businesses to become more international and help brings the private, academic and governmental sector together. With roughly half of the participants coming from abroad, Composites Asia is becoming a great composites event for the whole South East Asia.” Danu Chotikapanich, TCA president said. (GK)
