The idea of developing this project is based on providing a test of human cohesion in urban development. Random idea based on my story from my childhood.

I grew up in a rural area and got close to the little sister in the neighborhood. From the rooftop I have a small ventilation hole that can see the balcony from this little sister’s house. That small doorway became a place for us to talk, exchange books, candies... In my design story, the image of two children is replaced by a story between two trees in the atrium of the house. From merging two void side by side, we have a new, more spacious void.

Further in the story of connecting two trees is the story of connecting an entire forest. Further in the story of connecting two neighbors is the connection of an entire community.

SITE ANALYSIS

LOCATION

INSPIRATION

The facades of old low-rise apartment buildings in Vietnam are often decided by house house. The flexible outer corridor becomes the balcony of each household. They can change paint colors, plant trees, raise ornamental birds. These arbitrary layouts create a diverse and lively facade.

RUỘNG HOUSE

home stay-summer 2019

House field is a real project in Moc Chau district, Linh Long An province. Woodworking is a typical image of the Vietnamese countryside. The project is implemented with the desire that Ruong house becomes a place for family and friends to relax on weekends from Ho Chi Minh City. The rustic beauty of the vast rice fields, the ancient O Moi trees with golden flowers and the activities of the river countryside are the poetic inspirations for this project.

VIENAM MARINE HISTORY MUSEUM GRADUATED PROJECT

The sea gives life and also takes the lives of fishermen. Daily seafarers face many disasters, storms can kill them at any time.

If the sea is calm, the trips will be smooth, and the days of the sea will be hard. Every day fishermen are faced with meals that cannot sit still because the waves are about to rob them; face the sleep where the fishy smell of squid is always suffocating; Even when lying down or sitting, it is impossible to be still because the waves are always stirring...

The purpose of the topic of maritime history is to tell the story of seafarers in an area with a typical maritime history and culture for Vietnam’s maritime industry - Tho Quang Fishing Port - Da Nang

SITE ANALYSIS

Tho Quang lock is located in the waters of Vung barrel and is shielded by Son Tra peninsula, which is the gathering point of Vietnamese boats every rainy season. This place is also an area where lively seafood trading activities take place and is being invested to become the largest seafood market in the central region.

The largest seafood market in the central region operates from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning
