In researching of building site and surroundings which highlights Ben Thanh market, student got access into ancient documents revealing that the original location of Ben Thanh market is now exactly where Bitexco financial tower sited. That special connection then motivated student to come up with the idea of creating a passage across the building linking two objects, which offers spectacular views to the visitors and somehow recalls the interesting historical relationship between Ben Thanh market and Bitexco financial tower.

3rd year project/ quick design located in Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, Ha Noi
The canopy located in front of the mausoleum, requires a clever design not to ruin the overall. Therefore, the idea to help the canopy emerge in the surroundings by applying the same rocks with a smaller version used in the original mausoleum, attached on the facade. Whereby the canopy mixed in the building, disappeared. The cell of materials transfer from glass, stained glass, into the rocks of different colors then condense in the centre, implying the convergence of the Vietnamese to visit their greatest leader.
