On Saturday 11th

May 2013, 12 students from NIST International School, Ruamrudee International School,Bangkok International Preparatory and Secondary School , Wells International School and KasetsartDemonstration School came to Fenn Designers and experienced beinga Designer for a Day .

Fenn Designers is a design studio which specializes in Architecture, Master planning, Interior and ProductDesign. We launched Designer for a Day workshop for kids in the Grade 11 /12 to experience and understandwhat it is like to work in the Design field.

We strongly believe in giving back and in helping children who are interested in the world of design to makebetter choices for their college degrees. Help them to understand the intricacies of each aspect of Architecture,Master planning, Interior Design, Product Design and Graphic Design.

The children were introduced to thephilosophies and processes involved in Designby our Creative Design Director, Dr. ChafiaFerhat and given a glimpse of the World ofDesign through a look at core subjects whichshould be focused on in school; what eachfield of design is about; a step by stepexplanation of what was required and what wasexpected of them at universities. The childrenhad a chance to ask questions and sound out

their thoughts with Dr. Chafia Ferhat and oursenior people; our Technical Director, KhunTarkoon Suwansukhum and our ManagingDirector, Khun Geerati Tiasiri.

Following this introduction, students were divided into 2 groups, One group for Conceptualising a project andthe other for IT in the World of Design. The former group were taken on a journey by our Interior Designer,Lydia TF and Fenn architects, to look at how a project is conceptualized through; green design/sustainability ,space planning, clients vision, building laws, environmental factors, interiors, and architectural styles, and trying

out their hand at constructing a space within the means/ description of a sample project.
