Simple Architecture, founded by Jan Glasmeier in 2016, is centred on social- and community-based architecture, designing and constructing buildings that meet the needs of local communities using sustainable, low-cost methods. Since establishing himself in South- East Asia in 2012, Glasmeier has collaborated on designs for an array of projects. Glasmeier draws upon his years of experience with community-based organisations on the Thailand-Myanmar border to create functional, aesthetic designs. Simple Architecture promotes sustainable architecture that meets a social purpose. The design process is highly collaborative and consultative at each step, ensuring that the plans that are sensitive to the local context, environment, and needs of the client. The buildings showcase the flexibility, durability, and sustainability of local materials and natural building, often centring around bamboo and earthen construction.
