diploma PROJECT Revitalization of traditional craft village at Phuong Duc area Phuong Duc, Hue Site analysis, initial concept
Foundry village is located in the South of the Huong River, about 3 km Southwest of Thua Thien Hue province. Foundry is one of the oldest traditional craft and popular in Vietnam. Talent casting workers in Phuong Duc village were giving for hue famous bronze works such as the Dai Hong Chung, Thien Mu pagoda; the copper cauldrons, copper gate in Citadel; the Nine Deities are setting before the Meridian Gate and especially the Cuu Dinh - the set of artwork with 162 engravings. That is the most brilliant achievements of Vietnam bronze art castings from 2 centuries ago. With the historic development and works left their mark on history, Phuong Duc village commensurate as a traditional craft villages which need to be preserved and developed. The village is not only an exciting address for tourists, for the domestic and foreign investors but it is a positive encouragement for the workers as well as create the euphoria, the pride of craft heirloome... of bronze casting craftsmen in Hue today.
URBAN FORM Each of the place in this area has its own identity in urban development. The closer buildings locate to main roads, the bigger impact they have to adapt with number of mobility. Along with that, a series of linear collective spaces are provided to balance those of infrastructure. Spaces in the area are diverse, with differences between the east and west of this site: including space the houses near the ditches, with abundant vegetation; the green vegetation in the placae which has not been built; the townhouse space with a few trees street; characteristic street space at Nguyen Van Dao road; some typical alley space. These will create a variety of regional image as well as the changes varied between spaces along one route.
a. Morphology
In order to understand the logic of settlement in Phuong Duc area, series of studying the urban fabric pattern was carried out. The future urban form of the survey area will root into the existing morphology logic to preserve the identity and characteristic values.
b. Open space - Public space
The map shows public space’s position also considered as the open space that displayed by darkest color. the open space at riverbank is interupted becauses of the invasion of housings. the density of private and semi private space quit high that lead to the lack of open space for community in this area.

''Pedestrian is the first priority"
Design strategy Taking advantage of the unique underpass intersection to create highlights at the start of the area, switch the motorized traffic, turn Bui Thi Xuan Street into a walking route throughout the area Enhance the connection by verticle accessibilities, take advantage of available open spaces, integrate all kinds of services to guide the passengers, e.x food street, souvenir store Expand the waterfront connection, enhance the viewpoints over Huong River
Figure 1
Permeability
The figure 1 explores the relative importance, in both city - wide and local terms, of all the sites's potential links
The city links illustrate linkages to chosen site, with evaluation scale between the most and the least direct linkage to it. On the other hand, the local connections show the number of available neighborhood connectivity and rate it under most and least connected It is crucial to connect new scheme into these links which will achieve a higher score in this analysis. There is no reason not to connect all these proposed links. It is particularly important to maintain and develop pedestrian connections thru the WestEast axis of the site
Variety Uses and their combination Riverfront Service ( food and beverage Hotel / Homestay Walking
Residential Commercial Market
After having established street/block system, the next step is to consider the variety of uses/ functions to be included in the scheme. To investigate demand, the proposal uses are summariez via city planning vision to 2050, local resident's needs and personal objectives. The results of these enquiries suggested demand for the following uses Cultural center Foundry trading
Parking Water improvement project People committee Greenspace/Openspace
The interactions between various uses were explained in the matrix below, which suggested the strategic location of uses in next step
Visual appropriateness The stage sets out the objectives to be achieved in designing the street elevations of shophouse block fronting Bui Thi Xuan street
Objectives to support variety - to be interpreted by widest possible public uses, as a part of Bui Thi Xuan street's established commercial area Objectives to support legibility - to be interpreted by widest possible public as traditional shophouse/townhouse of Vietnamese in modern time ( 18th century ) Objectives to support robustness - to be interpreted as appropriate for domestic use, by potential residents and tourists during days and nights - ground floor to be interpreted as an appropriate base by potential shophouses

The Underpass
The Underpass has a special location - under the railway and used to be the only way to access to the area. As new accessibilities have been established, the stress of vehicles and connectivity on Bui Thi Xuan street will be gradually reduced The underpass with its unique location will be well concerned as the first impression of people coming to the site, the design now proposes to redesign landscape surroundings the Underpass, to decrease velocity of vehicles going through it and make it more attrictive, lively and safer for pedestrians and bicyclers by pulling down its ground cost, make changes in people's continual view to the site and create good impression on them
The Plaza
Meaning The area is a key area, a gateway to the region and a unique route to Da Vien dune, need to be designed with outstanding and special landscapes but not too large to avoid blocking views overlooking the river bank and the area
Design principle Divide the area into two sections, the areas in contact with traffic junctions will become commercial areas, offering services and public utilities, the remaining areas will become a row of exhibition houses for copper casting and related historical images The commercial sectors use a diversity of ways for tiles, combined with the public utilities, creating the Visual effects for pedestrians. Low-floor service houses use main materials, which are wood and glass with modern architecture The foundry expo use tile roofs in the form of traditional houses in Vietnam, arranging the square area and public seats

The homestay cluster Meaning
Desig n princ i p le
Renovated current residential, due to being near the waterfront, large plots of land have yet to be taken advantage of, the design is aiming to integrate homestay services to change the landscape and increase the value of the local economy Organize by focusing models, houses around with a central core in the middle which is an open space to increase community communication in the area Open additional accesses from the main walk street and the river banks, increasing the connectivity and diversifying types of walking, sightseeing
The homestay clusters is categorized into 2 types because of different interferences : One is the current residential renovation due to the high density of existing house, the design only take places in changing the landscape surroundings by attaching pedestrian routes into the clusters and enhance current landscape On the other hand, the second type is to create new block of housing and integrate the model of homestay owning to lack of existing houses

works
During my collegue time, I was luckily chosen by a lecturer to participate in his architecture firm and working as his assistant. The lecturer taught me alot to enhance both my academical knowledge and reality experience in architecture, interior design and landscape design. These following projects are some typical works which I involved in during my time in Gibaco Architects
01 HaLong Villa
The villa is located on the hill in Cot8, halong city with a great scenetic view to beautiful wellknown Ha Long Bay. The villa takes advantages of topography to maximize views and get natural lighting and good ventilation
02 PHAM VAN DONG TOWNHOUSE The house has a strange shape with small entrance and lying along the plot, being strucked within houses makes it hardly possible to get sunlight or good ventilation. In the design, I take the advantage of small entrance to design it as an openspace for the house where stairs and retreating panels located,
03 BUI DINH TUY TOWNHOUSE
In this design, I use large verticle wooden panel to combine with terracotta tiles to create harmonious combination on facade of an outdated townhouse located in an alley of Bui Dinh Tuy street.
