By applying this design strategy, we scrutinised the context and history of the Vietnamese built environment.
This building represents an evaluation of Vietnamese architecture and planning - against which we placed our understanding of contemporary architectural philosophies.
The building is intended to be a reference point in the Vietnamese encyclopaedia of architecture - to be part of, and help define - Vietnam’s constructed history.
This design is about the future, learned from the past, and humbly promoted as an outsider’s vision. RMIT Vietnam is part of a process to provide a world class, international learning environment by adopting appropriate educational strategies and opportunities - and its architecture is intended to contribute to that condition.
