THE GRID / HANOI AD HOC 1.O EXHIBITION 
REVITALIZING INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE THROUGH TRANSIENT URBANISM IMPLEMENTATION

Considered by historian Tim Doling as one of the three great colonial railway
works built during the early 20th century, Gia Lam Train Factory was initially
built as a mechanical depot where train locomotives underwent maintenance and
repair (Doling). Positioned strategically at the junction of four prominent rail
lines, during its lifespan, the factory stood as a material witness of
Vietnamese history. Not only does the factory serve the movement of goods, with
an extended network of agents, but it also cultivates the mobility of cultures
and ideologies that shape Vietnamese subjectivity. Currently being scheduled to
relocate away from its current site, the factory’s future and historical legacy
are uncertain and at risk of being eroded under the pressure of urban
redevelopment

In the context of this project “The grid”, where the central theme revolves
around the concept of experimentation in repurposing the factory, we find
ourselves immersed in a larger narrative of transient urbanism. The architect
intended to integrate the factory into a process transforming the temporality
into permanent. This concept of space essentially serves as a manifesto against
prevailing contemporary construction practices that prioritize speed and mass
production per capita volume over the preservation of the city’s rich industrial
legacy. Within the exhibition's realm, the space functions as a platform for
broader engagement, extending well beyond the immediate site. It invites and
encourages a critical examination of construction methods, retrofitting
processes, and the future potential of the site through collaborative efforts
involving the local community.




EUROPAN 17 - BARCELONA -THE INHABITED GARDEN / THIRD PRIZE 
 

The garden has always been an inextricable archetype of human settlement,
representing a
domestication that brought stability to life’s endeavors. From the time of
nomadic and semi-nomadic
hunter-gatherers, to global migrations of the modern era, gardening has been a
tool to adapt new
landscapes, to integrate, and to truly make a place one’s home. Symbolically,
the garden has
also long represented order, easing inhabitation against a wild and hostile
landscape “beyond the
wall.” Rather than the undefined openness and monotonous character that has come
to define
modernism’s failures, this project repositions urban space as a network of
productive gardens –
and the city itself as an inhabited garden. The voids of urban planning become
opportunities for
micro interventions and new uses of the intermediate space between buildings,
with greater publicprivate
gradation and multi-dimensional use of space that reflects the immigrant spirit
of the
neighborhood. Inclusive design is expanded to include biodiversity and
transforming the city into
a haven for nature and other species. In face of increasing commodification of
public space, the
garden provides an opportunity to reimagine collective life, while empowering
the neighborhood to
cultivate self-sufficiency and a more dynamic sense of place.




THE RENOVATION
OF THE INDUSTRIAL
TERRITORY OF DSK-500 / FINNALIST
ON GOING COMPETITION

developing a

concept for the renovation of DSK-500, a factory which produced prefabricated
housing for the region’s oil and gas industry.Our purpose is to give a second
life to this building and create on its basis an industrial technopark with
modern platforms for production, engineering,science and education.





EUROPAN 16 - LIVING CITY
SAN DONA VENIEZIA / WINNER
AGROECOLOGICAL CONDESER

The cities have always been the spiritual reflection of time. In ancient times,
the city’s center was configured to carry political, cultural ideologies and
foundational democracy which are fundamental aspects defining the society. In
modern times, our culture, civilization, and built environment are facing
another challenge on a global scale which is climate change and the degradation
of nature. Hence, beyond creating solely a space for commercial, communal
activities, restoring the urban ecology system in the city’s center is a
defining feature that promotes nature-centric urbanization, and harmonious
cohabitation between humans, nature, and other species. The relocation of the
bus terminal presents an opportunity to reclaim the city’s center as a living
and dynamic system that favors and stimulates socio-cultural networks of all
kinds. As a philosopher, Clément Rosset said ”anti-nature is nature anti, a way
of defining a thing by its natural opposite: the city posited as the opposite of
nature. The city, hence, would be anti-artificial; it must then recover and once
again find life, nature, animals, greenery, purity, calmness”.


IBA 27 STUTTGART


QUARTIER WEST BACKNANG / RUNNER UP


ENTDECKT! DER MURRPARK ALS ANPASSUNGSFÄHIGER LEBENSRAUM FÜR ALLE

The city as a park! Backnang West is more than a former industrial area on the
river. Backnang West is a flood plain formed by the Murr and extends from slope
edge to slope edge. A geographical unit with its logic, its processes and its
adaptability. It is our suggestion to trust this existing geography and to take
it seriously as a holistic park. This means, to think of the city quarter in
terms of its landscape, its topography. More than a finished quarter, we are
presenting an intervention strategy for a sustainable and changeable living
space.





KOREAN MUSEUM OF URBANISM AND ARCHITECTURE

A conventional museum has been always conceived as an introverted object with an
extravagant outer skin covering the chained enclosed spaces in which arts will
be showcased and admired. The ribbon museum investigates a fundamental shift in
museum typology. It aims to redefine the act of exploring by focusing on the
outdoor experiences where the surrounding landscape will be in the center of
attention. It will be an extroverted edifice which emphasizes the outdoor
experience. Hence, the architectonic of the local landscape will be the main
actor in the scene. 





FICTITIOUS RIBBON

A fictitious ribbon is a generic attribute of urban form production. This
concept is not a norm, but an urban state of exception that forces the generic
to conform to the finite form of a location. The concept will manifest a global
urbanscape through various site-specific interventions. Take this ribbon and
place it above the Hanoian old town quarter, it will take the form of the roof’s
topography and mutate into a sky pathway. Put the ribbon below the ground, it
will turn softly into an urban ribbon that runs around the lake and
alternatively goes up and down according to the existing urban structure. ...


RANG DONG SYMBIOCITY




A(GRI)PUNCTURE


FEATURED IN L'ARCHITECTURE D'AUJOURD'HUI

Taking on the challenge of negotiation with the authorities and the real estate
investors.

The proposed scheme, therefore, seeks to determine an equilibrium between
projective density and actual infrastructural capacity, a synergy rather than
the rivalry between nature and architecture, while enhancing the cohabitation
between collective memory and modern urban regeneration based on an
ecological-oriented guideline.  


EUROPAN 15 - PRODUCTIVE CITIES 2 
PAYS DE DREUX / SPECIAL MENTION 
A(GRI)PUNCTURE



If the future motorway A154 will be operated as the territorial backbone, the
whole network of agricultural interventions will be functioning as the
acupuncture practice. By focusing on narrow emergent points in the territory, it
involves pinpointed interventions that create a positive ripple effect to
transform the whole conglomeration of Pays de Dreux. Using green infrastructure
to protect the inhabited zone from harmful effects of the future motorway.
a(gri)puncture network in combination with green armature and soft mobility grid
will be essential elements to harmonize the conflicts between the interfaces of
different urban fabrics. A(gri)puncture is a progressive conversion of underused
space into productive place.
