Key takeaways

Pinyo Suwankiri belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Pinyo Suwankiri to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Pinyo Suwankiri from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Pinyo Suwankiri (Thai: ภิญโญ สุวรรณคีรี, RTGS: Phinyo Suwankhiri; born 10 March 1937) is a Thai architect. He was born in Songkhla. Suwankiri began painting and carving as a child, and created decorations for various festive occasions. His carvings were used to decorate local temples, monks' residences and schools. Suwankiri received his primary school education in his home province. When it was time for high school he was tutored by a senior at a temple in Bangkok in order to prepare him for the university entrance exam. As a result of his efforts he was accepted into the Faculty of Architecture at Chulalongkorn University. He graduated from Chulalongkorn University in 1964. After his graduation he applied for a teaching position at his faculty in order to teach Thai Architecture. In 1972 Suwankiri began studying toward a master's degree at the School of Architecture at University of Pennsylvania. Nine months later he successfully finished his studies and returned to teach again at his home university as the specialist for Thai Architecture.

Awards and honors Suwankiri's Awards and Honors include but are not limited to:

1988 Honor Doctorate in Fine Arts, Srinakharinwirot University 1993 Honor Doctorate in Architecture, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang 1993 National Artist of Thailand for Visual art and Applied art 2000 Nikkei Asia Prize for Culture

Work As a traditional Thai Architect Suwankiri designs buildings with modern purposes such as government buildings. He furthermore designed schools, pavilions and temples. His work has international recognition; one of his Sala Pavilions was dedicated by Their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand to the East–West Center in Hawaii. Given The building was dedicated to expand cultural understanding and is still part of the University of Hawaii campus life. Another one of his international works is the Baan Thai Pavilion in Echo Valley, British Columbia. This design was one of the first traditional Thai structures designed to withstand the colder temperate climate zone where very snowy winters are common. Tierpark Hagenbeck's Sala Thai in Hamburg, Germany is a Thai pavilion built by Suwankiri. It was claimed to be the biggest of its kind in Europe.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pinyo Suwankiri

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pinyo Suwankiri claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Pinyo Suwankiri before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Pinyo Suwankiri ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Pinyo Suwankiri

In research: Pinyo Suwankiri appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Pinyo Suwankiri in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Pinyo Suwankiri is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1937 births, Academic staff of Chulalongkorn University, Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pinyo Suwankiri outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
