"Vietnamese cities have lost their tropical beauty. They have
turned into concrete jungles just like Bangkok or Jakarta." Vo
Trong Nghia In a context of rapid urbanization and environmental
crisis, Vietnam, like many other countries across the world,
requires innovative new architectural solutions to improve the
lives of its urban residents. Green Architecture showcases the
multi-faceted responses to these challenges conceived by the award
winning studio VTN Architects, led by Vo Trong Nghia, in which the
emphasis is placed on bringing greenery back to cities in a
holistic and sustainable manner. Through detailed illustrated
breakdowns of a series of building projects such as The Babylon
Hotel, House for Trees and Nanoco Headquarters, as well as several
schools, educational institutions and apartment buildings, and
enlightening texts including an interview with the architect, this
book explores how Vo Trong Nghia and his team draw on their
experience and philosophy to help restore the connection between
architecture and nature. "Green architecture means being friendly
with the environment, not just planting trees," Nghia says, and in
these pages we see those sentiments reflected in the flow and
design of his buildings, which transcend functionality to foster a
sense of community in a way that is drawing admiration and setting
an example across Southeast Asia and much further afield.
