Thammasat University - Rangsit Campus

When it was established in 1934, Thammasat was called the University of Moral and Political Sciences. Architect Chitrasen “Mew” Apaiwongse was tasked to build the school’s inaugural building from four existing stand-alone structures. The result was the iconic Dome Building, for which the architect took inspiration from a sharpened pencil to reflect the university’s promise to educate the public. When Thammasat set up a new campus in Rangsit in 1975, architect Dr Sumet Jumsai reimagined the familiar design in a more modern way, but retained its iconic pointed roof.
