This study presents a comprehensive analysis of contemporary Lanna architecture on Tha Phae Road, a historically and culturally significant street in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The main objective of this research is to conduct this comprehensive analysis of the revitalization process with a specific focus on the architectural facades of the revitalized buildings. The study aims to document and evaluate how traditional Lanna architectural elements have been integrated with Modern, Western, and Chinese architectural styles during the process, while also investigating its ensuing urban impacts. Employing a descriptive case study approach, this research draws upon a diverse array of primary and secondary sources, including scholarly literature and on-site photographs. Through the examination of three representative case studies (1) Modern-Lanna style, (2) Modern-Western-Lanna style, and (3) Modern-Western-Chinese-Lanna style, this study illustrates the deliberate amalgamation of traditional Lanna elements with modern design features, resulting in a dynamic and captivating urban landscape. The findings reveal a successful synergy between historical preservation and contemporary urban development. The integration of Lanna design elements with modern features not only effectively conserves the region's cultural identity but also contributes to sustainable architectural principles. Significantly, the implementation of building control regulations has played a pivotal role in preserving the inherent integrity of Lanna architectural styles. Moreover, this research offers valuable insights for scholars, architects, and urban planners, providing practical guidance on harmoniously incorporating cultural heritage into contemporary Lanna designs while ensuring the enduring preservation of the region's distinctive identity.

Academic laboratory buildings face unique challenges due to the dynamic nature of laboratory tasks, technological advancements, and the utmost importance of maintaining safety. While flexible design strategies are recommended for laboratory facilities, there is a need to explore the empirical evidence of building adaptations and their impact on safety in real-world cases. This study employs a case study approach to investigate how academic laboratory buildings have been adapted to changing requirements and the resulting implications for laboratory safety. Four high-rise academic laboratories on a university campus were selected as case studies, and data were collected through as-built and updated architectural drawings, on-site walk-through surveys, and laboratory safety inspection reports. The findings reveal that adaptable design strategies, specifically those related to "long life" and "loose fit," have been implemented and are commonly used. However, building adaptations often occur independently, and without a proper understanding of the original design strategies, leading to laboratory safety problems caused by inappropriate adaptations. The proposed conceptual model aims to elaborate on the relationship between building adaptations and laboratory safety concerns. Further research should focus on investigating the patterns of adaptations of building layers using a time-series approach, and developing facility management strategies to effectively address dynamic safety conditions.
