From the organizer: Over the past ten years a group of Vietnamese architects has emerged into international recognition. This influential group of architects is working predominately in an increasingly globalised yet still distinctive Vietnam, but are also beginning to take on international commissions.

Elaborating the familiar distinction between the well-known concepts house and home, might in fact offer a window into insights about the changing nature of Vietnamese society, the family, identity, meaning and its relationship to architecture of the domestic space.

As part of the Architectural Association Visiting School Tropicality, the event will aim to uncover ways in which architecture, its practice and its inhabitation are struggling for autonomy in varied and colourful ways, and in doing so, reveal a fundamental strand of global solidarity amongst architects and the people that inhabit their buildings. 

Save the Date! The event will take place the 18th of August 2016 and is open to all public!
