Learning while walking in “The Walk Concept” project

Recently, our interior design students had the opportunity to study the inspiring project hosted by Mr. Wattana Songpetchmongkol, an urban researcher and creative designer, on the topic of “Walk Concept”. This is a great chance for them to explore this fun concept and apply it to their work.

The “Walk Concept” is an innovative idea that lets interior design students explore and understand the real architecture around urban cities. The idea behind the concept is that students can walk through the streets of a city and observe the life around them to get a better feel for the environment. This can help motivate students and provide them with inspiration for their interior design projects.

By experiencing the practical view of city life, interior design students can gain a fundamental understanding of real-life situations. This is useful for those who are interested in creating unique and innovative interior design concepts. The practical experience gained from walking through the streets of a city can provide students with insights that they may not have been able to gain in the classroom.

Overall, the “Walk Concept” is an innovative and fun project for interior design students to gain a deeper understanding of life. By exploring the world around them, students can gain practical experience and develop a deeper meaning for the world we live in. This can help inspire creativity and lead to the creation of unique and impactful interior designs.

Ignoring Cultural Norms with MOSTRIEN

Let’s explore “MOSTRIEN”, the interesting and unique collection from Nod Phonepaseuth, a fashion design student. The Mostrien Collection is part of the Design Research and Development 2 class. It is a unique and interesting project that aims to promote individuality and encourage people to embrace their differences.

The word “Mostrien” refers to a person who has a strong personality and does not depend on the norms of society. It is an innovative project that wants to promote individuality and inclusivity. It encourages people to embrace their differences and challenges traditional assumptions about bad characters, such as aliens or monsters. By supporting uniqueness and promoting empathy, the project hopes to create a society that is more accepting and open-minded.

By doing so, it hopes to encourage people to view things from a more inclusive point of view. The project aims to support uniqueness in oneself and promote the idea that everyone should be comfortable expressing themselves in their own way. This project is a step towards creating a society that is more accepting and celebrates individuality.

School Tour at Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus School

Raffles International College Bangkok recently visited the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus School (Holy) for a school tour. We appreciate the warm reception from the wonderful students of Holy and are grateful for the opportunity to make Raffles introduction ourselves.

During the event, Raffles introduced ourselves to the Holy students and shared the unique features of our campus, which is an international college that has close communication with lecturers and is surrounded by the great environment of an international community. We also shared about the programmes we provided, which include design and business programmes. The students were given a sneak peek into what it would be like to study at Raffles and were impressed with what they saw.

To make the event even more exciting, Raffles organized a fun quiz about marketing for the Holy students. This quiz was a great way to entertain the students and also educate them about marketing. The winner of the quiz was awarded a prize, which added to the fun and excitement of the event.

Overall, Raffles was very happy about the school tour at Holy and hoped that the students were interested in us. Raffles International College Bangkok is committed to providing quality education to students from all over the world, and we believe that all students would greatly enjoy studying at Raffles.
