The cube separated from the outside by six square faces . It have the limitation.

Based on the limitation, I insert the unlimitation by the movement .

Arrows shown in yellow colour are the directions of movement They break the perfect cube, break all covers and boundaries ...

The movements have not finished ...

As it always have new beginnings when others ends . So the form is NOT LIMITED by everything, it could be pervasive and continued without the end point.

UnlimiteD ISARCH Competition 5th edition . Special Mention Individual Competition Project , 2015

Architecture is a material structure with different levels of concentration, enabling to help people to access directly to the nature (which includes people and surrounding things) with a reduction of friction.

The more concentrative and condensed the platform is, the more stable the construction is. The emptiness always makes it tottering. When it is concentrative, it is more likely to disappear, and the stableness also brings a division. But the more it keeps in pace, the more the concentration is minimized, nearly equal to zero. That is air, a direct getting contact, without condition and friction.

Bien Hoa Citadel is the only ancient military architecture in the South of Vietnam to remain until today. It shows many significant historical events of the history of Bien Hoa city .

Over many years, the original area of the Citadel decreased from about 10 ha to 1.08 ha. With tThe first stage happened when French army occupied it in 1861... And later while Bien hoa city is experiencing a rapid growth in the urbanization, the Citadel become a forgotten place.

While, after three-time reconstructed, its inheritance is considered completely an important historical heritage to the city .
