    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.

  • As the Capital of Vietnam, Hanoi Has an Endless Number of Interesting Things to See and Do
    As the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi has an endless number of interesting things to see and do. The city has been around for over 1000 years and the buildings and monuments tell the story of the city’s history including the war years and the period when the French occupied the city. Start your exploration of this city with the Old Quarter - Hoan Kiem District where you can see the Hanoi Kiem Lake Park, Hanoi Opera House and the National Museum of Vietnamese History. The museum is in a 1932 French colonial building and covers all periods of Vietnamese history. The One Pillar Pagoda appears to float on a lotus pond as the wooden structure balances on one stone pillar. The present pagoda is a replica of the original but just as stunningly beautiful. The Bach Ma Temple, may be the smallest but is also the oldest temple in Hanoi, here you can see a statue of a horse. For a glimpse at the body of Ho Chi Minh you can visit his mausoleum, continue to the attached Vestige or to the nearby Presidential Palace. Alternatively visit the Ho Chi Minh Museum to learn about the Vietnamese War and this iconic leader. For more on the war try the Army Museum or Air Force Museum. The Temple of Literature is also a must see when you travel to Hanoi, originally built in 1070 and later underwent several renovations and additions. There are 5 courtyards the most beautiful of which is the 3rd with the “well of heavenly clarity”. The complex is large and contains many fascinating buildings and gardens.
