ABOUT ME

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

Ha Giang, 2019

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.

Hanoi 2020

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 main materials used in the space are wood, iron, and steel, with warm tones and gears on the ceiling and floor, curved wood which makes customers feel like visiting a real factory. Besides being a space, it also brings the element of story-telling which help to give a deep impression and experience to customers.

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.

Place: CoventryCity of Culture

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.
