ASA兰纳中心位于泰国清迈的一条高速公路旁。该项目是暹罗建筑师协会（ASA）的分部所在，其设计旨在寻求保留当地文化特征与适应当代需求之间的平衡。

ASA Lanna Center is located on a highway in Chiang Mai, Northern province of Thailand. As a branch office of Association of Siamese Architects (ASA), the design aims to find the balance between keeping the local culture identity while accommodating requirements of today.

清迈曾经是兰纳王国的都城，“兰纳”意为无尽的稻田。因而建筑的屋顶融合了稻田的形态，并设有一座兰纳式的凉亭。功能空间如办公室、图书馆和多功能室等皆覆盖在同一座屋顶下方，并按照从低到高、从前至后的顺序排列，形成一座通向屋顶凉亭的“梯田”。

Chiang Mai was a capital of an independent kingdom, named Lanna, and it means a million of rice fields. The image of rice field with a simple Lanna-style pavilion is created on the rooftop of the building. While the room requirements such as office, library and multi-purpose room were tugged underneath. The rooms were arranged according to their volumes from low to high, from front to back. The arrangement creates the stepping rice field landform leading to the pavilion on the top.

建筑周围种植着棕榈、香蕉树和竹子等常见于水田中的本土树种。主入口处种有一棵Thongkwaw，作为清迈府的象征，它将在凉爽的时节开出橙色的花朵以迎接客人。主入口位于路边并嵌入坡地之中，形成一个远离高速公路的安静空间。建筑的中心地带是一座连接了首层和顶层空间的庭院。楼顶的凉亭作为整个项目的焦点，可以直接从庭院中望见，以保持与建筑整体的一致性。庭院除了能够将自然光引向室内，还可为ASA成员举办各类活动提供灵活的场地，必要时还可作为多功能室的延伸。

The plants around the building are local which can be found in rice filed landscape such as local palms, banana and bamboo. At the main entrance, a symbolic tree of the province, called Thongkwaw, will flower in orange to welcome visitor on cool season. The main entrance is on the side lane and carved into the landform building creating the quite entrance space away from the highway. When entering to the center of the building, you will find a courtyard that connecting the ground floor and the roof space. The Pavilion which is the focal point of the building can also be seen through the courtyard to ensure the sense of unity. Apart from bringing down natural light to the rooms on ground floor, the courtyard is also a flexible space for a different kind of events organized by ASA members and also be an extension of the multipurpose room if it is required.

在通往顶层的屋顶上设有一间小型咖啡馆，它拥一个独立的入口，便于人们在办公室关闭时使用。建筑顶层坐落着由木材搭建而成的兰纳式凉亭，其比例和细部的设计参考了当地退伍军人和建造商的建议。人们可以在凉亭中一边享受屋顶空间，一边眺望清迈圣山——素贴山的美景。

A small café space was placed on the roof before the top level, and it has a separated entrance which can be used during the weekend when the main entrance and the office are closed. On top level, a timber structure pavilion in Lanna-style is located. Its proportion and details were advised by local veterans and builder. People can enjoy the rooftop space from the pavilion with the view of Doi Suthep, the sacred mountain of Chiang Mai.

建筑的结构和立面采用了红土和红砖等能够表现天然纹理的本土材料。所有的屋顶花槽护栏均以现场浇筑的混凝土打造，并饰以竹制的框架，以缓和表面材料的坚硬感。走过建筑，阶梯状的稻田景观和兰纳式的凉亭不断地使人想起兰纳王国的神韵，或许它将成为城市发展的又一处灵感源泉。

The materials and finishes of the building were selected to express the natural texture and locally produced such as laterite, and red brick. While all the roof top planter parapets are cast-in situ concreate with bamboo form-work to reduce hardness feel of the surface. Passing by the building, the stepping rice field landscape with Lanna-style pavilion will keep reminding us of the spirit of Lanna. Eventually it could be an example to inspire others for the way of developing the city.
