Sumet Jumsai (1939–) is a Thai architect, who designed many contemporary modern architecture in the country. His works, such as the Robot Building and the Nation Building, are regarded as some of the most iconic buildings in Bangkok. Meanwhile beside his practices, he contributes to the conservation of the local Siamese heritage.
In the M+ Collection are two architectural models, as well as archival materials across his different projects, which the latter are available for viewing in the Research Centre.
