As a Bachelor of Interior Architecture, I always work with passion, creativity and high commitment in each projects to figure out how my ideas and knowledge can be applied in reality. I am a curious person would like developing in an international environment and exploring projects in different scales and with high of culure mix.

Adventurous travelers. Ideas come from travel. As a person who loves adventure, I have always been inspired by land, people and culture.

A free spirit. Ideas can also come from simple things in life. Photographing with the “film in film” technique had given me a lot of inspiration for the “sense of life” of the people and my beloved Vietnam, and it was a new hobby after working and studying.

A practical interior designer. The inspiration for projects starts with the first straits. Here are the sketches for the concept design of the project that I and my colleagues created during the internship at AAI Company. Hanoi 2022

A neverending learner. The learning journey in the UK offered challenges, opportunities to communicate, learn in an international environment. Below is a picture when my classmates and I teamed up with ABDA Design & Built in the real Fifty Five Hospitality project, Farthingstone, Northamptonshire. University of Northampton, 2023

In addition, self-study, work and communicate with lectures are also key elements that helped me integrate into the new environment. Below is a picture of the technician who helped me complete the structure model for the Final Major Project. University of Northampton, 2023

The “Human Library,” true to its name, is a library of people. Here, people can “borrow” a person and ask them to tell you their life stories or simply have conversations.

Every human “book” from the bookshelf represents a group in our society that is often subjected to prejudice, stigmatization or discrimination because of their lifestyle, disability, belief, social status, and/or ethnic origin. The Human Library is a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.

CONCEPT

The Human Library creates a safe space for dialogue where topics are discussed openly between our human books and their readers.

Our book:

The Human Library is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue.

We meet our goals by creating a special dialogue room, where taboo topics can be discussed openly and without condemnation. A place where people who would otherwise never talk find room for conversation.

Purpose:

The main focus of this library is for users to seek advices and interaction with other humans, rather than laptops, smart devices, or mobiles phone.
