L etter O f I nterest There are mixed feelings when the long and arduous degree of architecture finally come to an end. Almost at once the cord is cut and your head feels full of everything absorbed and accumulated over the many years spent at university. However, once working within the industry it quickly becomes apparent that in fact there is still a lot to learn. In these first few years following graduation you feel like a sponge, soaking up anything and everything there is to learn about the craft of architecture. When trying to work out which direction to take it’s useful to consider how and where to get experience that realistically matches your ambition. It sounds obvious, but upon graduation it’s easy to be distracted by award winning and high profile firms, often encircling us through media and journals. Since working within the industry however, I found a whole new interest and respect for local unsung architects and the knowledge they have to offer. While it may not seem like much, it is invaluable to sit down for a few minutes over a cup of tea and think consciously about what you want to achieve in the first few years after graduation. Consider what experience you are looking for, then build relationships and seek work that will best expose you to that experience. Since finishing my degree in Vietnam last year, my career outlook has taken on several changes. No doubt your expected outlook will change too; give yourself access to a broad range of views, experiences, skills and knowledge, and these things will only make you more valuable to the profession. I believe careers paths will always change as we develop and explore our skills and passions. I wouldn’t change any choices I have made as they have all contributed to broadening my knowledge and confidence in the roles that I have chosen. Studying Architecture can provide you with opportunities to work in many different roles within the architectural profession and also in relating fields and it is a truly fulfilling field to work within.

FINAL PROJECT cENTRE OF RESEARCH AND INTERACT WITH CLIMATE CHANGE
The goal of this project is to provide an inclusive architecture, in order to give everyone experience the climate change in this fast-changed world. I took a look at how climate change can affect spaces and individuals as well. Based on this analysis, i was able to define adequate concepts which can help people to understand the ways to tackle with climate change. The result of this project was the starting point of working with concepts as sensory, haptic & kinesthetic perception through interation with the real elements such as storm, fire, etc.

Museum&library
halong bay
The new museum and library desires to become an icon of Halong bay as well as a public space for local people. The experience of the building is considered more important than the collection. By analysing the context and eyesight as well, I created an attractive building that connects visitor with space and time. Underneath, a new public space emerged. 2011
