Contemporan

As a former partner of Loom, which she co-founded in 1993, Raveevarn Choksombatchai co-authored a broad range of projects merging art, architecture, and environmental design. Loom had a successful track record for the past ten years, as the recipients of three Progressive Architecture Awards (1998) and Citations (1996, 2002); Emerging Voices in Architecture by the Architecture League of New York (1999); a nominee for the Chrysler Design Award (2000); and for the National Design Award in the area of environmental design by the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institute (2002). Raveevarn has re-invented a new independent practice. VeeV, based in San Francisco opens its studio in January 2005. While her new practice shares many of Loom's ambitions, she envisions VeeV as a collaborative design/research practice that will move further into the realm of experiments and design investigation.
