Great! More presentations are welcome!
Love your presentation.
Amazing presentation.
I learn a lot from you today regarding Modern and Vietnamese architecture more than many years attending college. Thanks for posting.
I’m in awe of your vast knowledge of the subject. Thank you very much for a very indepth overview of Vietnamese architecture style, and thank you for your service.
thanks for sharing such a valuable information! I'm a Korean living in Hanoi and currently I'm planning to provide a community, a physical space, for young creative mind set people to connect with each other and explore bigger worlds through providing them curated design and art magazines. I hope in one day I can share my ideas with you and get insights from your knowledge. Have a great day!
Thank you for your kind words. You have a very good idea to create a community for exploring these issues. I wish for you every success in achieving this.
hello I am an architect living in Hanoi and I would like to ask you if you already created some community space of creative minds, thanks
Really helpful video! I am exploring the modernist architecture in VN so I find your video very informative. Thank you for having this on youtube!
Thank you, and I appreciate your comment very much.
It was a false narrative concerning the re-construction of the Independence Palace. My father's recommendation was to rebuild the Independence Palace's damaged wing in addition to making a few cosmetic changes to the existing facade. He said that rebuilding the palace from scratch based on a totally new design would be very time-consuming and costly as well for which South Vietnam as a war-torn country could ill afford. Most other architects (KTS To Cong Van, KTS Tran Van Duong etc.) who were asked to make recommendations also agreed with my father. These documents can be found in the National Archives No.2 (Trung Tam Luu Tru Quoc Gia So 2)
I agree with you, and I have seen those documents through another researcher. However, subsequent to these recommendations, the old building was demolished and there was a design competition held. KTS Ngô Viết Thụ's entry was selected and constructed.
@@ArchitectureVietnam So when did the design competition begin? My father’s recommendations were submitted on 31 July 1962, which included the architectural drawing of the Independence Palace with the modifications that he recommended. Anyway, his team would not have participated in the competition because it would take them a lot of time to study the proposal.
@@ccie4101 I presume the decision to demolish the remaining parts of the palace was made shortly thereafter. Then the task would have been to decide what to build as a replacement. The details about a design competition are murky at this time for me, and I hope to find more documentation about it soon.
Interesting video! Just recently discovered a passion for Vietnams modernist architectures. What did you do in Vietnam in the 70s? What facebook groups do you recommend?
Thanks for your sharing
Thank you so much for sharing! The information very useful for me. I really would like to buy your book but I did not see your book in book store Vietnam? How can I buy your book?

I thought that kind of outer walls were not allowed any longer in Vietnam. I am not an architect or from the fire brigade. I see the advantage not to have the sun direct on the outer wall to rooms, where people work, but in connection with a fire, it is next to impossible to get sufficient water in behind the beautiful outer wall. That was explained to me years ago, when I came to Vietnam.
Your concerns here are legitimate, and need to be considered and resolved in every design here in Vietnam. There are two issues: getting water onto a fire, and rescuing people in a fire. Only a few of the mid-century buildings have full-wall screens. But even the patterned screens on the General Science Library have large enough openings to allow a hoze nozzle to poke through. As for getting people out of the building, there are legal stairs at the ends of the exterior corridor for people to escape from behind the outer wall screen. Most of the buildings with double-wall construction have very large openings in the apparent outer wall. Recent contemporary designs have been using ventilation block on the full facade of the house. If the house is three stories or less, they are probably not considered a risk. Otherwise, the design usually includes at least one large opening per floor.
thank you for sharing these important information, I'm an architecture student and doing a research about architecture in the south of Vietnam, luckily I found you, your information is valuable, you did a really great work. Appreciate
Good luck with your research. Contact me if you have any questions.
@@ArchitectureVietnam Surething sir, I'm also in the Vietnamese Modernist Architecture facebook group and I'm really admire your effort in researching the architecture heritage of Vietnam
Thank you for again exposing me to the world of architecture. I am starting to understand. My experience is totally removed so it's all new to me. I think I am better adapted to understand computer architecture lol. But thats the world I came from.
Thanks Gary. I appreciate your watching this. This is why I do these videos. -- Mel
Thank you for sharing.
