Thien An Community Park, Hue symbolizes the exchange process among communities settling in a new land. They bring with them vast knowledge, unique customs, and aspirations to build a life in this new place. The community serves as a space for openness, exchange, learning, and growth. The process of convergence, interaction, and experimentation among these communities has shaped a distinctive character for the culture of the historic ancient capital.

The park recreates the process of community formation through five main spaces:

• Meeting Space
• Exchange Space
• Agglomeration Space
• Experimental Space
• Performance Space

Each space embodies a unique form and function, representing a distinct stage in the process of community and cultural exchange.

The “Dance of light” stirring a feeling of motion and vitality. This interplay between brilliance and obscurity crafts an enigmatic allure, coaxing the observer to explore the depths of light.

Phuoc Tich Ancient Village, established in 1470 during the reign of King Le Thanh Tong, lies 40 kilometers north of Hue, embraced by the gentle flow of the O Lau River. Within the village, 26 ancient wooden houses (nhà rường), each over a century old, stand as testaments to traditional craftsmanship. Among these, 12 houses are particularly esteemed for their architectural and artistic value. Additionally, the village is home to 12 water docks, iconic symbols of the rural charm of Hue.
Phuoc Tich pottery, renowned for its meticulous firing process in robust, high-temperature kilns, boasts exceptional durability—resistant to cracking and brittleness—while retaining heat and preserving flavors. The intricate designs etched into Phuoc Tich pottery are distinctive and refined, making them unmistakable among other ceramic products. Historically, Phuoc Tich pottery surpassed many renowned competitors to become the exclusive choice for the imperial court of Hue.

Một lối mòn hun hút dấu mình trong màu xanh thẳm cuối cùng của cánh rừng Tràm.
Chẳng ai có thể biết cuối con đường sẽ dẫn đến đâu,
ấy thế mà vẫn mang trong sự bí ẩn và quyến rũ đến kỳ lạ.
Mong manh luôn là lằn ranh giữa thăng hoa và lụi tàn:
ở đó vẻ đẹp xuất hiện.

A trail, vanishing into the deepest green at the far end of the Melaleuca forest.
None can tell for certain where it might lead, and yet it holds within itself a most singular charm and mystery.
How delicate is the line between flourishing and decay:
it is there that beauty reveals itself.
