In this event, dwp I Design Worldwide Partnership, an international architecture and interior design consulting firm with decades of experience in Thailand and a vast portfolio of global projects, showcased its expertise in which Kittiphot Boochangkool, dwp Group's Sustainability Leader, was invited as a special speaker on the stage. "Real Sustainability Starts from Concept Design" was the topic of the discussion.
After the discussion, Khun Kittiphot stated, "It is a privilege to be able to attend this event. This is a great opportunity to discuss the sustainable design with exhibitors from various countries. The event's concept, which focuses on sustainability from multiple perceptions, covers a variety of topics such as sustainable hotel and tourism management, ecological restoration, global sustainability concepts, and sustainable design, which goes hand in hand with dwp's design and emphasis on sustainability to pave the way for the future world. I'd like to share an idea of the work dwp is doing under the concept of sustainability or Biophilic Design, which emphasises the concept of incorporating nature into design. Our strategy includes using suitable plants and natural materials in the building, adjusting the lighting for the occupants, and incorporating more sustainable materials, such as wood substitutes, plants, and trees to add vitality. This strategy will encourage people to reconnect with nature."
Furthermore, he asserted, "COVID-19 has torn people and nature apart. This enlightens us about the significance of nature and the environment in our lives. The Biophilic Design concept of dwp is a beneficial solution for entrepreneurs who wish to co-create the future with us. Another subject to emphasise is the mission of dwp, which is to utilise low-carbon materials as they are environmentally friendly. We aim to have achieved Net Zero in all projects we oversee by 2030 to increase energy efficiency, reduce carbon, and decrease emissions. Additionally, we intend to increase the use of sustainable materials and the management of renewable energy production in every project under our control," said Kittiphot.
In addition, Kittiphot has concluded in response to the anticipation of attending this sustainability seminar that "Under the Biophilic Design concept, our projects have received positive comments, and there are an increasing number of companies interested in sustainable design principles. Having the opportunity to speak at PHIST 2022, dwp has an opportunity to demonstrate its proficiency, spreading new ideas of design concepts to a larger audience. Entrepreneurs can incorporate them into their businesses. If we can think, plan, and act in advance, we can gradually achieve sustainability objectives. There is no room for procrastination; by the time we have realised, it might have been too late," concluded Kittiphot.
The 5th PHIST 2022 forum was very well received. In addition to being a comprehensive workshop to find solutions towards sustainability, various awareness-raising activities were also organised to provide entrepreneurs in tourism, hotel, and other related industries with operational ideas, pioneering future pragmatism.
