Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture

This presentation by architect and author Mel Schenck draws on the ideas presented in his book “Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture” and features the beautiful architectural photography of Alexandre Garel. As in the book, this presentation illustrates the outstanding accomplishment of the people of southern Vietnam in developing a mid-century modernist architecture that is extraordinary in the world.
This presentation answers these questions:
• Why is Vietnamese modernist architecture significant in the world?
• How did the southern Vietnamese architects develop this distinctive modernist architecture?
• How does Vietnamese modernist architecture differ from global modernist architecture?
• Why did the Vietnamese people embrace Vietnamese modernist architecture and make it their vernacular architecture for dwellings?
