  • Touring Vietnam Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to Hanoi in 14 Days / 11 Stages/ 1200 Miles
    Touring Vietnam Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to Hanoi in 14 days / 11 stages/ 1200 miles. Our tour began in mid-February but my tale goes back to October during an annual two day group ride through Big Sur. Chuck Schroyer who was providing SAG support and he told me he was going to do this trip with Dzung Dang. Chuck and Dzung I knew from riding SuperTour. Bonnie Faigeles, also a SuperTour veteran was on the Big Sur ride, separately Chuck told Bonnie about the trip and she also decided she wanted to be part of it. We were the four musketeers. Dzung was born in Vietnam and like so many he with his family had to leave when the war ended in 1975. When Dzung started cycling he decided to tour Vietnam which he did in 2012. That trip was solo and he made many friends along the way. He toured the country again in 2014 with a friend he met and support along the way. Support for four riders included a seven passenger SUV, one native guide and driver. We also had two local riders receiving support for the first few days from Saigon to Danang. When I signed up I did not realize this was much more than a bike tour. On Dzung’s previous tours he had raised funds to aid poor children and orphanages. The network he had created in the country was organized around the cycling clubs. Our trip included three days where we visited schools and orphanages to distribute aid which included bicycles for the neediest children.

  • Vibrancy in Stone: Masterpieces of the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture, by Trần Kỳ Phương, V
    Vibrancy in Stone: Masterpieces of the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture, by Trần Kỳ Phương, V. Văn Thắng, and Peter D. Sharrock. Photographs by Paisarn Piemmettawat (Bangkok: River Books, 2018) In 2018, the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) partnered with the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture in central Vietnam to produce a remarkable and visually striking centenary catalogue of its world- renowned collection of the sacred arts of the Cham people of Vietnam. The publication of Vibrancy in Stone: Masterpieces of the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture was timed to coincide with the renovation and expansion of the museum. Beginning in the second century CE, settlements appeared along the central coast of what became Vietnam. The Chams probably migrated over the ocean from Borneo and were accomplished navigators. Their ports were the first call for any ship heading from China to India and the Arab world. Their role in the medieval maritime trade grew steadily and reached an apogee in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when the great neighboring empire of Cambodia declined. The prosperity won from trade led to large scale temple construction earlier than the Cambodians. Figure 1. Map of Cham archaeological sites in Vietnam When tourism resumed in Vietnam after the wars of the twentieth century, the museum quickly became a prime attraction in the port city of Đà Nẵng. It is the world’s only museum devoted exclusively to the art of ancient Champa, the name given to the civilization of the Cham people. With 500 objects on display, its collection far outnumbers those in the Hanoi and Ho chi Minh City History museums, as well as the Musée Guimet in Paris.

  • THE ARCHITECTURE EXPERIENCE Naman Retreat the Babylon by VTN Architects
    VIETNAM 2019 THE ARCHITECTURE EXPERIENCE Naman Retreat the Babylon by VTN architects. Photo by Hiroyuki Oki AN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING COURSE ON VERNACULAR SUSTAINABILITY IN VIETNAM V E R N A C U L A R Viettel Academy Educational Center by VTN Architects. Photo by Hiroyuki S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y Oki Vietnam has, in recent years, become an exemplary example of a developing country that has forayed successfully into contemporary sustainable architecture by marrying its rich heritage to modern-day developments in architectural practice. Today, Vietnamese architecture features modernist layouts, forms, and building systems, but realised with local materials and incorporating traditional techniques, while maintaining a holistic bond with the environment. The resulting products are sustainable utilitarian buildings that are responsive to the tropical climate, economic in terms of budget and generating employment of local skilled labour – a perfect blend of art and science. Why Vietnam? Young architects from India could benefit exponentially from observing contemporary Vietnamese architecture as the pros and cons architects deal with in Vietnam are largely similar to that in India. Issues like high population density, space premium, harsh climate and limited financial resources are common to both. Likewise, advantages like abundant natural material resources, readily available labour and traditional know how in the construction field are also common to both. Vietnam has produced innovative yet feasible architecture that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient. Budding Indian architects would benefit from experiencing architecture that intelligently blends the best of the old and new, the built and the open.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Speed Reduction Pilot Program Concludes with Positive Results and Lasting Community Impact GIA LAI PROVIN
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Speed reduction pilot program concludes with positive results and lasting community impact GIA LAI PROVINCE, Vietnam - 27 June 2020 The two-year Slow Zones, Safe Zones speed reduction program in Gia Lai Province, Vietnam, which is ​ ​ supported by Fondation Botnar, the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), Nissan Motor Corporation, Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), and Kova Paint Company, officially concludes its first ​ ​ phase. In partnership with local government in Gia Lai Province, AIP Foundation held a closing ceremony to share the program’s first phase results. Stakeholders included representatives from the National Traffic Safety Committee, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Education and Training, representatives of Gia Lai provincial government, and school administrators and parents from Pleiku City. The ceremony began with a photo exhibition of the recent “Preserve Your Children’s Happiest Moments” photo contest, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the importance of child safety on the road that reached more than 9 million people and received almost 2,000 photo submissions. Following the exhibition, AIP Foundation shared noteworthy speed reduction results from the two-year pilot program. Slow Zones, Safe Zones constructed tailored, comprehensive school zone safety ​ ​ modifications including speed bumps, road markings, speed reduction signs, and sidewalks, in response to dangers on Pleiku roads. At target schools, traffic volume is extremely high. Additionally, some vehicles were driving as fast as 70-80 km/h, well over the international recommended speed for school zones, which is 30 km/h. The safety modifications were validated by scientific assessments like the Star Rating for Schools (SR4S) App, which determined that both pilot schools successfully increased their safety rating to 5 stars.
