Description:
Skyscraper Tower and the "Chiếc Đó" Design Philosophy by Võ Hữu Linh Architects
Integrating traditional cultural values into modern design is both a challenge and an opportunity to tell the story of heritage through architecture. The "Chiếc Đó" Skyscraper Tower, inspired by the iconic Vietnamese fishing tool, is a testament to this philosophy.
The "Chiếc Đó" symbolizes the Vietnamese people's connection to nature and their ingenuity. Its characteristic bamboo-woven structure, forming intricate geometric meshes, has been reimagined in the tower's design. With a unique twisted shape, the tower mimics the soft, fluid motion of the "Chiếc Đó," blending aesthetic elegance with functional innovation. Its interwoven façade acts as a natural sunshade, reducing energy use while optimizing natural light.
Vo Huu Linh Architects' Design Philosophy: "Create Space, Inspire Life"
Sustainability: The interwoven façade harmonizes with the tropical climate, minimizing heat absorption and enhancing energy efficiency, reflecting a deep respect for nature.
Community: Green spaces at the base and upper levels connect people to nature, embodying the spirit of "architecture for people and nature."
Symbolism: The "Chiếc Đó" serves as both a cultural tribute and a global symbol, bridging tradition with modernity.
A Story of Origins
Beyond architecture, the tower tells a cultural story of diligence, creativity, and resilience. By transforming the traditional "Chiếc Đó" into a world-class design, Võ Hữu Linh Architects honors Vietnamese heritage while redefining how cultural values can inspire global architecture. This project stands as a work of art that connects Vietnam's roots to the world, paving the way for a future where tradition and modernity thrive together.
