Blocks

The functional blocks is arranged alternately, the different height like layers of Hanoi’s Old Quarter.

Plant

Planting area is intertwined in the crowded old quarter.

This building is located in Hanoi Old Quarter, a context is intertwined with layers of cultural and history. Thus, the project research elements affect area, especially researching layers of the old street elevation. The old street elevation as a lively symphony, the tones go up and down clearly, with the main musical - the old houses elevation, the accompaniment - layers of the houses behind. They harmonize to create the sheet music of the old street.

Elevation

The rhythm of the building elevation into the rhythmic curves of the tile roof, that make a difference elevation but still harmonize in the actual context.

HOUSE OF IFURNITECTURE

NOVA design award | Honorable mention | 2018

A house is made of walls and beams

A home is made of who you love, what you love and what defines you

The 21st century is the era of connection with advent of the Internet and smartphone, but as a side affect, we lost the physical interaction between human beings. We are using more time in our private room than before to enjoy the digital world. When we are locked in own realm, we isolate ourself from our family and waste time instead of creating memories in our house.

We conceived that in a typical room, empty spaces around furniture are larger than we basically need. Therefore, our proposal is an attemp to break the room into small units, each contains one domestic program, such as sleeping, studying, hanging clothes.

The compact size of each unit blurs the boundary between XS architecture and XL furniture. With its shape and color reflecting the characteristic of its owner, it can be defined as iFurnitecture, House of iFurnitecture is where family members can easily connect and share beautiful moments to their loved ones, while the collection of specific iFurnitecture units tells the story of who they are.

Typical house

House of iFurnitecture

In House of iFurnitecture, architectural elements from walls, columns to stairs are not only the structure, they merge with furniture pieces to participate in the daily activities of the family. Everything in the house become a part to complete the specific book of family story.

We propose an expandable series of iFurnitecture which varies in types of fusion between architectural elements and furniture. House constituted by iFurnitecture pieces connects to its owners closer: family member may choose any iFurnitecture to build his own space as long as he feels that it satisfieds his demands and personality.

The house responses to his specificity and reflects his identity. The house is what he is and what he loves. The house becomes Home.

HUE CENTRE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS

Graduation project | HAU | 2020

Da Vien island belongs to Duc Ward, Hue City, Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam, is a land in the middle of the Huong River, is an important bridge in terms of culture, tourism, traditional and modern architecture.

The project has a special context, where is focus on cultural and historical factors. Therefore the project deeply research the historical context and connection to the surrounding context impact of area. The construction site has a historical context, where had some traces of the past left. So preserving or demolishing old buildings is a difficult problem for this project

The project is located in the seamless transition system of the cross-section urban space in the ancient Hue. Therefore the site is created with dynamic morphology. The dynamic which transforms the surrounding context from the old factory, the water tower into a new function.

The building itself is also an element of contemporary art. Here the building is no longer an architectural object, but is a journey of experiencing space with a transitional architectural morphology.

Hue urban planning is clearly demonstrated the layers of time.

Hue Citadel - the north bank of Huong River was built from the 17th to the 20th centuries, which was still completely preserved three layers of walls, is planned organizationally . The old buidings were developed horizontally.

The center - the south bank with modern buildings is grown vertically, and the connecting bridge is the French Quarter in the pre-modern ages.

This connection represents the sequential development of urban planning, without sudden fractures of space and time.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT IDEAS

The main axis of the building is developed horizontally.

PROPOSE IDEAS

The area is divided railroad and elevated bridge. The problem of how to build a cultural center which still have the link connection throughout the entire land ?

The idea is that the building is not an architectural object. It will be the journey of experiencing space, for which now the block of architectural objects is only the extra function.

Extending the approach axis, the axis of the Citadel Fortress towards area affects the building to create LINE.

Dividing the area into grids to create POINTS.

Determining position’s points as special constructions on the land. These are water towers, water factory, and the intersection of the lines.

From locating points and lines draws surfaces throughout area to create the journey experiences.

Residential Architecture | TAA Design | 2021

Task : Landscape concept, Presentation

This project has a special context on the Saigon river bank- an urban city in the middle of the river. The impact of artificial elements on the available platform and local landscape identity create interesting natural landscapes.

The functional blocks are separated into ones, intertwined with nature. By a layer of the buffer space between inside - outside house, creating the constant interaction with the natural landscape outside, blurring the boundaries inside - outside house

Elements of nature on the available platform

The current situation

This building is located on the bank of Saigon River. Different level topography, which affect the view overlooking the river.

The invasion of the artificial element on a natural background.

On the current situation, impacting at least artificial elements: digging and backfilling the ground to ensure the view overlooking the river.

The floodplains with their own functions create the diversity of natural experiences.

Nature - Surface water

With the local river city context, the surface water intertwines in the landscape.

Blocks

Separating the main block - the sub block.

Expanding the buffer space between indoor-outside house. Interlaced natural space.

The architectural language

The buffer space becomes a light ground roof with louvers to exploit the view overlooking the river maximally, to open up interaction between inside and outside nature

Urban planning | TAA Design | 2022

Task : Landscape concept, Presentation

From the site context, the project fully exploits the site potentials. The project make a journey to find the spirit of the fishing village.The beginning is the connection experience with the sea, develop the canal landscape with interesting utility activities to the image of the village river. Thereby it brings a peaceful, fresh living environment, closer to nature.

The project is located in the east of Phu Quoc island. Behind is the mountains and forests, in front of which is the vast sea. Here still retains the simple, pristine beauty of the ancient tradition fishing village.
