Immediately after the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Oct 13 last year, a team of Fine Arts Department architectural specialists began their work to design the royal crematorium. Kokiart Thongphud -- known as the trusted right-hand man of the late architect Arwut Ngernchuklin, who designed several previous royal crematoriums -- knew that the responsibility would fall on his shoulders. That night his brain began to whirl, his hands skilfully moving the pencil, rulers and paper, his eyes focusing on the details.
"The design must be flawless. It is clear that crematoriums for kings must be in the shape of a busabok [a tall structure with multi-tiered pointed roof]," the 49-year-oldarchitect said. "It was a sad moment, but I must perform my duties and brace for the challenges while shedding my tears."
