"What do all of those mean?" I used to wonder. Those are my grandfather's traditional crimson lacquer-wares meticulously crafted; the humble straw houses resting mildly among lush bamboo trees in my dad's paintings; the time to wander amidst in packed bazaar with my mom chatting and pricing; also the wood table assembled by my older brother, fitting strong not even with a single nail. Now, those are what I define Architecture.

HUE THEATER OF ROYAL PERFORMING ARTS Hue City, Thua Thien - Hue, Vietnam National Best Graduation Projects Competition (Loa Thanh Prize), 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.

The design not only responds the shape to the site but also expresses the orthodox of traditional planning. 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.  TUE DUC PHAM PORTFOLIO

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

HANOI CONTEMPORARY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Giang Vo Lake, Hanoi, Vietnam Studio Project, 2009 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.

BACK KHOA SUSTAINABLE DORMITORY Back Khoa University, Hanoi, Vietnam Holcim Prize 2009 - Low Energy Building 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 multiple-level 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 lowincome 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.

Basically, this system comprises single module of vertical louver panel that can be manually opened or closed depending the climate and usage. Corresponding to each facade orientation, the panel has a particular aperture to harness natural force: in summer, these panel facilitate cross air ventilation through the building while blocking off sun radiance ray; in winter, these closed panel deflect cold wind while still allow warm sunray to enter. Moreover, the skin can act as visual barrier to ensure customized privacy.

HOUSE PROTOTYPE FOR DISPLACED FARMERS North Delta, Vietnam Rural House Competition, 2009 Second Place The project solves question of how to re-inhabit in the dull prospect of rapid urbanization and rural displacement. In the dull outlook of rapid so-called "countryside urbanization" and resource depletion, that prototype must fulfill relocated farmers' exigent need and be versatile enough to accommodate any imminent masterplanning. While remaining conscious about sustainable measures, the project emphasize on the economic aspect when offering a model of quick fabricated house, considering flexibility and metamorhosis in case of moving, family growing or disaster. Moreover, the rural landscape integration is achieved by notion of roofscape, where new zigsaw-like structure imitate the staggering irregular pattern of vernacular house roof.

Sun in winter (low degree) is able to penetrate deep into interior space to warm up the air. The air above the side narrow pond and between neighbor houses are cooled down because of water vaporization enhanced by draught wind effect and sunlight hideaway. Then the cool air is pumped into the house through wall coverable slits. 4

The project emphasize on the economic aspect when offering a model of quick fabricated house out of 3D lightweight panel. Elaborate calculation and using of exact 1.2mx3m module panel help offset buiding cost. Some of the these panel advantages include quick assembling, structural strength and integrity, ability to withstand fire and mildewy growth. 3D panels are arranged in 3 axis which making the house very strong at resisting force from every direction

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.

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.
