The proposition for the Australian Embassy in Bangkok is that the land upon and within which the diverse cultural realms exist binds us all. The ubiquity of the concept of “land” defines the experience of living in Australia, whether in the agricultural, desert, coastal or urban realms. The form of the chancery and ambassador’s residence brings to mind the ancient landscape of Australia blended with the smooth and luscious forms of traditional architecture of shrines, stupas and traditional Thai public places.
