The "Amphibious Transformation by Design'' course brought together students from Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT) in Thailand and Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) in Indonesia to explore water-related challenges in regional, metropolitan and urban environments who all face climate change.

Throughout the 10 Day course, students engaged in a process of synthesizing data and detailing design, related to the canal 6 area near RMUTT. The work was reviewed by experts in the field of architecture, urban planning, water management and community. Dutch experts Professor Chris Zevenbergen (TU Delft) and Dr. Koen Olthuis (TUDelft) participated in the course as lecturers and jurors.

In this program, both students and guests had a chance to visit '67 Architects Exhibition, an annual exposition in architecture and design organised by the Association of Siamese Architects.
