HUE THEATER OF ROYAL PERFORMING ARTS Hue City, Thua Thien - Hue, Vietnam National Best Graduation Projects 2010 Second Place Modernization and tradition, internationalism and regionalism: that's the contrasting yet appealing challenge that not only faces generations of architects and engenders the goal of society in globalization era in general, but also this thesis project in particular. It is the not just story of specific intervention in heritage setting; it pose a larger question: what direction that a urban context, in which heritage and novel value co-exist, like Hue city can take to the future. To some extent and in this definite context, the project answers that question by introducing the solution of urban integration, functional flexibility, environmental and energy building in holistic, elaborate architectural design. Theater of Royal Performing Arts is a civil complex hosting an arrays of diverse functions, a model hub of integrated and flexible cultural activities. Hue Royal Performance Art is considered high-class scholar art, conforming to strict rules and sophistically orchestrated play set. Though, despite its highly scholarliness, the nature of this performance art still originated from different kinds of folk songs in Hue region. Therefore, Hue Royal Performance Art, supposed to serve exclusively to royal families, in fact, is inherently related to ethnical arts which are necessitated by common plebeian and pedestrian human spirit. The concept of the project is to materialize that indivisible spiritual bond. Hue's inherited cultural legacy of royal and vernacular architecture informs the project's tectonic language and is interpreted in light of modern ideology into contemporary syntax that reflects modern, simple and elegant aesthetics.

In short, the planning concept conveys following points: - Emphasize geometry axis, including both construction and visual axis. - Decentralized massing - Natural environment integration. The planning proposal engage traditional juxtaposition principles and satisfy the practical challenges of the particular context.The main axis is aligned in 45 degree towards the crossroad which would be communicated better. The main axis is intangible, subtle and more a route of vision , rather than rigid perceptible linear axis in traditional approach. Combining tilted and right angled grid, the overall plan maintain its geometrical integrity and afford flexibility in devising multiple forms. Masterplan 

Hue city inherited a massive cultural legacy of royal and vernacular architecture. However, it should take into consideration the risk of uncreative replication of traditional form. It is rather to study the structure and nature of traditional architecture, interpret them in light of modern ideology into contemporary language. The project interprets traditional architectural language into modern, condensed and elegant one. The architectural form are inspired and influenced by ancient traditional architectural features: - Overlapping and continuous roofs - Decorative motives along roof ridge - Long covered corridor connecting pavilions - Distinctive kind of pavilions: Octagonal House ( Bat Giac ), Floating House ( Xung Khiem Ta)

The complex is divided subtlety into five main pavilions, connected into continuous chain by a system of podium, corridors and bridges. These pavilions are: - The main lobby pavilion - The multi purpose / exhibition pavilion - The auditorium pavilion - The back-stage / fly-tower pavilion - The pedagogy / training pavilion To diversify the human experience of space, the combination of large and small structure also reflect the gentle and sophisticate nature of Hue people and traditional philosophy that nature, human and built environment play in harmony.
A cohesive architectural language was developed for all parts of the buildings, achieving a consistent appearance and design logic amongst the different functions. The ubiquitous motif / modules being used are isosceles triangles & lozenges. The sense of smooth transition in roof surface is also achieved by the tessellation of such motifs. While they bear an aesthetic quality, they also produce a structural logic: the triangulated skeleton can withstand weight and lateral force more efficiently than conventional linear frame structure and can allow a extended span without sacrificing structural lightness.

To attribute specific function to one space is just matter of relativity. The lobby pavilion which is supposed to be the gathering space before entering others functions also can be used to organize diverse activities. The courtyard water pool accommodates several kinds of performing arts: water puppet dancing, catwalk and parade. Moreover, the building are embellished by thrift use of stylized decorative motif in contemporary manner. Ornamentation details use the similar motif as the overall structure to ensure cohesive architectural language. Many environment and energy design are implemented, mostly including passive measures, given that theatre doesn't operate as frequently as other civil building type. These measures are inspired by the traditional passive design of Hue garden house, in which emphasizes natural ventilation and lighting and greenery temperature gradient.

The floating house glass and steel structure, though offering elegant beauty, faces the challenge of high solar radiance specifically in Hue. A system of folding sliding ceiling blind is devised, where the fabric is hung on movable railing to dynamically adapt to daily sun alteration. 1

FLOATING BAMBOO ECO-LODGE Halong Bay (Bay of Descending Dragon), Vietnam Demonstrating design proposal, M.Sc in Sustainable Design Thesis in U. of Texas at Austin, 2014 This project has major social components intergrated in the design. The sustainable aesthetics calls for a distinctive EXISTING VILLAGE and unique experience attractive to tourists, expecting to create a considerable revenue to spur the business and to contribute back to the community. The construction requires local material and building technique, which in turn provide livelihood for local people. The operation and activities in this ecolodge calls for major active guest's involvement, therefore mainting a characteristic marine lifestyle. HYDROLOGY SHADOW MAP Direction of tidal movement

This design proposal is part of the master thesis which speaks of the relationship between new appropriate set of sustainable aesthetics and the design of SITE ANALYSIS SITE ANALYSIS ecotourism. There are three kinds of aesthetics found to promote the sustainable design: environmental, ecological, and performative aesthetics. I apply those three categories of new sustainable aesthetics in multiple scale: masterplan, landscape, architecture, construction, & energy.

Several floating villages in Halong Bay will be subsidized to move to inland. The region's policy is to provide better livelihood for the remote fishermen when relocated, to conserve the natural environment of the bay, and promote sea-living life-style. This eco-lodge is located in lieu of the relocated village, aiming to demonstrate a case where those objectives confluence.

BACK KHOA SUSTAINABLE DORMITORY Back Khoa University, Hanoi, Vietnam Holcim Prize - Low Energy Building 2009 Second Prize Sustainability design is the inevitable consideration in the modern era construction, given the current tense environmental and socio-economic reason. For some, sustainability is even the main driving force of designing process, dictating all aspect of approach, resolution, measures and deriving aesthetic effect. The project of BackKhoa University Sustainable Dormitory is one of that thinking. The project take place in assumed reclaimed parcel of old dormitory land next to Back Khoa university. In this project,I proposed a comprehensive multiplelevel solutions ranging from site planning principles, individual buildings design to interior & technical applications. All of those deliberately devised measures, not acting separately, rather interweave to maximize potentials. Moreover, this project also express profound concern about promoting sustainability to low-income and vulnerable people such as students, because they are the majority of future population to which sustainable measures have the largest impact and social resonance. The initial design intent take inspiration from the perfect geometry, the circle. While ubiquitously found in nature, in practice geometry of circle offer distinguished advantage: being less exposure to direct sun, facilitating fluid movement and allowing most dense distribution.

Sustainability: Goal and Measures
The design is dictated by the notion of fluid direction: movement of wind and sun, human activity and circulation, transition and continuity of space... all are taken into accounted to produce a holistic and logical result. Computer Fluid Dynamics analysis act as the design driving force as well as verification of the result. The design though driven by highly rational process still express an inherent beauty of nature and fluidity.

The architecture planning is determined by defining "grey" and "green" space that differ by their usage, spatial characteristic and mini-climate. - "Grey Space" : fixed funtioned space, stable conditioned and serve for privacy - "Green Space" : flexible funtioned space, variable conditioned and commonly used
Outdoor Green space are various in setting and function. Steep roof incline toward or touch the ground to creat sense of continuity, therefore expanding the space boundary; in the same time serving other function like al fresco lawn, casual seating, out stage or jogging ground. The project aims towards an architecture
that stimulates human / student activities and the environment. The activities are envisioned as continuous route of action. The system of looping circulation facilitates abundance of casual intersection and parallelism of these routes, therefore foster student interaction and campus environment

HANOI CONTEMPORARY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Giang Vo Lake, Hanoi, Vietnam Studio Project, 2009 HAU Excelence Design Award Hanoi Contemporary Performing Arts is set in a particular urban context: the new city development in a decade grow upon a traditional craftmanship village; Giang Vo Lake that lies besides the theater once were surrounded by old house and ancient pagodas. Now this area has transformed dramatically due to economic boost with unprecedented apartment tower, office and store, overshadowing the traditional structures. Therefore, the theater though being a civil venue organizing comprehensive contemporary performing art activities also carries a larger mission: a district cultural pivot and a modern symbol of the endangered value and architecture. By studying the traditional North Vietnam architecture and costume, the characteristic of curving line is distinguished, which give way to the gesture of the building. The theater conveys contrasting appearance: in overall view, it express intertwining, overlapping roof plates representing folk-dress tissues, on the other hand in perspective, it possesses stillness of symetricality and slight curve of traditional pagoda. The motif of curving line continues in shaping surroung landscape.

ECOPARK ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY SCHOOL Hadong, Hanoi, Vietnam Masterplan & Architecture | Concept Design, Fast-track Construction Design Project at Kume Design Asia Role: Designer 2011-2012 The school project is designed with extensive sustainability mind set. The school composition is divided into separated functional blocks which is orientation sensitive to welcome prevailing wind, mitigate solar heat load and facilitate natural ventilation through green pocket between them. The intimate village-like feeling is achieved by close juxtaposition of block in a grand circular gesture, providing friendly and natural environment for education and other activities for children. The grand circular cul-de-sac gesture of the whole complex and placement variation of each block, though demonstrating natural sense and uniquely aesthetic effect for the conventional school typology, are actually the direct consequence of carefully examination of site shape, density, orientation, ventilation and multiple phasing requirement.

PARKCITY RESIDENCE - PHASE 3 Hadong, Hanoi, Vietnam Landscape, Apartment &Townhouse | Concept Design, Basic Design, Construction Design Project at Aedas Vietnam Role: Architectural Assistant 2010-2011 The philosophy of the ParkCity brandname in general and ParkCity Hanoi Phase 3 in particular is the creation of a green suburban environment offering an option for the young population to relocate from the city centre to the suburb. At Park City, they can find a more relaxed and healthy lifestyle. The development celebrate interaction between human and natural environment, between indoor and outdoor space and between people to each others. The project respond to the mission by proposing a concept of "perimeter road" and " landscape spine". Perimeter road , by distributing traffic along the rim, avoids vehicle circulating in the heart of the development, therefore reducing traffic noise and circulation intersection. Landscape spines, on the other hand, seep into each row of house , connect people from all across the development to facilities and playground features, and define the landscape charateristic.

Typical townhouse ground level plan
All 7 types of town homes and semi detached villas are arranged in cul-de-sacs accessed from a perimeter road, minimizing road crossings to a common green space. All open out to the common linear park. Care is taken in the more intimate experience of the houses to ease the repetition of the original master plan. The L-shape balconies defines the main characteristic of house facade, an their alteration of position give the row diverse looking. The traditional craft of Vietnamese basket weaving is expressed in the balcony railings and car gates of the town houses. Each of the low rise types is intended to incorporate a different expression of a stair in a vertical connecting space, giving multiple options to the prospective buyer.

The podium houses the community center, health club and kindergarten, all of which look out onto the main outdoor plaza and pool area, forming the center of the community. 28 stories of residential units rise above. All rooms have access to natural light and ventilation. The two tower decline repetition and give a grand characteristic gesture for the both towers. By manipulating the glass / solid contrast to give expression of symbolic gate that welcomes residents from the drop-off to the central landscape and green spines.

My involvement with this project is two part. First, I travelled in two weeks to Dominican Republic to investigated several tourist regions and respective case studies projects. The driving theme of the travel research is regionalism: how regional identity and locally based practice benefit the tourism in the DR. I presented my findings and recommendations to peers in the firm. Second, I work on the initial ecological study of one firm's ongoing development project in the DR, the Springbay, to serve as the foundation for next strategic planning.
