Bathing in the mist of the mountains and forests, we are like super crooked footsteps. Overconfidence has given way to humble trembling. Following the breath we look back at the decaying frame of the mythical years. I falter, bowing my head not to beg, but to apologize for the unruly bare-headed man.

Voices of nature

The melodious reverberation of the mountains and forests,
Clouds cover the rising sun,
I silently curled up in the wind,
Absorb the mist of the dawn light.

Âm vang núi rừng

Du dương vọng tiếng hoà ca rừng núi,
Mây ngập tràn che khuất mặt trời lên,
Ta lặng im cuộn mình trong làn gió,
Men hơi sương ngút ngọn ánh bình minh.

Ho Viet Vinh, Dalat 2021

Returning to the forest is like being immersed in pure silence. Each breeze caressing the skin penetrates deep into each cell to wake up the body after a long deep sleep. The breath slowly fills all the skin, making the whole body immersed in the sweetness of heaven and earth. Returning to that place is the way returning your true home.

Next project | The Ideas competition for Thu Thiem Master Plan

Thu Thiem Pennisula from the old SaiGon city

The Concept for the Thu Thiem Master Plan envisions a lush peninsula of trees and waterways. Its urban spatial morphology is designed to achieve a balanced scale, harmonizing with the existing urban fabric. The central square is seamlessly connected by canals, directing water flows through the wetland forest. Along the banks of the Saigon River, open parks create a buffer that bridges the high-density urban spaces on the river’s west side.

The master plan for the Thu Thiem New Urban Center triumphed over 29 competing proposals (14 international and 15 Vietnamese) to earn high acclaim. The selected plan, originally proposed by SASAKI Inc., incorporated additional ideas during the detailed planning stage.
The selection committee, comprising renowned domestic and international urban experts, included figures such as Professor John Lang from New South Wales, Professor William S.W. Lim from Singapore, Professor Nguyen The Ba, and Professor Nguyen Manh Thu.

Next project | MELALEUCA Forest

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.

Next project | DRIFTING

“A delicate symphony of muted hues pirouettes in the ever-changing light. Its dance mirroring the soul’s ebb and flow, serving as a melancholic ode to time’s fleeting passage and life’s ephemeral beauty: a poignant reflection of existential drift.”

Next project | SONNET

Evoking the tranquil undulations of the river a symphonic concerto of colors whispering the poetics of the natural world. The geometric shapes, with their curves and angles, juxtapose the organic with the mathematical, creating a visual sonnet that blurs the lines between the ephemeral and the eternal.

Supported by AI

Maison des Marais embodies the ethereal dance between the tangible and the intangible. The structure, elevated on stilts, mirrors itself in the serene waters, creating a dialogue with the reflections that blur the boundary between reality and illusion. The thatched roof and wooden textures harmonize with the surrounding marshland, evoking a sense of timelessness and serenity. This architectural poetry captures the essence of nature’s abstraction, where each element, seen and unseen, contributes to a symphony of spatial resonance, reflecting the invisible threads that weave through the fabric of existence.

Xin
Xin cho mây xám cuối trời,
Cỏ hoang yên giấc đồng phơi nắng vàng,
Xin cho gió chở lời mang,
Đồng dao vang tiếng ngỡ ngàng đường quê,
Xin cho trăng ngủ bờ đê,
Gối tay tỉnh giấc chưa về đã hay!

Request
Grant the gray clouds at sky’s end,
Let wild grass slumber in sunlit meadows,
Grant the wind to carry whispers,
Children’s rhymes echo with wonder down rustic paths,
Grant the moon to rest on riverbanks,
Cradled in arms, awakening to dreams not yet returned.
