“The gentle interplay of light and shadow dances across the room, reminiscent of a fading memory. Each element, from the plush seating to the artful arrangement of books, whispers stories of bygone days. The warmth of wood and fabric envelops the senses, creating a cocoon of comfort and reflection. This harmonious blend of textures and hues captures the essence of nostalgia, a poetic journey through time, where beauty and melancholy coexist in a delicate balance.”

The interlocking rock columns are arranged naturally,
Shoulder and shoulders depict rapids,
Standing likes the shape of the mountain,
Look down at the waves of the sacred place.

Phu Doan Plaza, located at the Thua Thien Hue Provincial People’s Committee (also known as City Hall), is a vibrant and modern interpretation of Hue’s identity as an ancient capital. Today, the plaza serves as an inclusive outdoor hub of Hue’s cultural and social life, but this was not always the case.
Before its renovation, the plaza was an uninviting and inaccessible space, characterized by uneven terraces, hidden passageways, and neglected trees. The transformation elevated the park—both literally and symbolically—to match its prominent location at the foot of Hue City Hall.
The plaza now offers universal accessibility by leveling the entire site to meet the street, encouraging activity throughout the day. It features a spacious lawn, an interactive fountain, a café, and ample seating amid green groves of native plants such as Bombax ceiba (cây gạo), Borassus flabellifer (cây thốt nốt), Laurus nobilis (cây nguyệt quế), Cinnamomum camphora (cây long não). Built atop Hue City Center’s multi-modal transit hub, it acts as a gateway connecting all neighborhoods.
Covering 8,190 square meters, the plaza provides a welcoming, all-season destination for relaxation and public recreation.

“Kiến trúc sư cần phát triển khả năng suy nghĩ sáng tạo, đột phá các giới hạn thông thường mà AI có thể khó bắt chước. Các ý tưởng độc đáo, cảm xúc sâu sắc và nghệ thuật trừu tượng luôn khó được mô phỏng bởi AI, vì chúng phụ thuộc nhiều vào trải nghiệm sống và hiểu biết văn hóa của con người.” – KTS Hồ Viết Vinh

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.
