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.

Tôi không nhớ chính xác lần đầu tiên mình xem Rêu không phải là rêu mà là nhân chứng của thời gian và nơi chốn tự bao giờ? Có lẽ đó là một buổi sáng sớm khi sương còn đọng trên những phiến đá bên bờ suối. Hoặc có thể là một buổi chiều mưa, khi những mảng rêu xanh mướt trải dài trên tường gạch cũ, như những vết tích của một thời đại đã ngủ quên.
Dù là lúc nào, Rêu vẫn luôn ở đó, lặng lẽ, trầm mặc, bám rễ vào thời gian theo cách riêng của nó.
Rêu không phải là cỏ cây, cũng không hoàn toàn là rong rêu trôi dạt theo dòng nước. Nó là một thực thể kỳ lạ, vừa nguyên sơ, vừa vĩnh cửu. Rêu không có rễ, nhưng lại bám chặt vào đá. Không có thân cành, nhưng lan rộng như một tấm thảm. Không có tiếng nói, nhưng lại kể những câu chuyện cổ xưa hơn bất cứ cuốn sách nào từng được viết ra.
Thế giới của Rêu là một vùng giao thoa giữa cái hữu hình và cái vô hình. Nếu nhìn từ xa, Rêu chỉ là một lớp xanh nhạt, một mảng màu lặng lẽ trên nền đá xám. Nhưng nếu cúi xuống thật gần, ta sẽ thấy một hệ sinh thái thu nhỏ, nơi những sợi tơ mềm mại vươn lên, đón lấy ánh sáng đầu ngày. Rêu không chỉ sống trong không gian – nó còn bám vào ký ức, len lỏi vào những vết nứt của thời gian.
Tôi gọi Rêu mang một diễn trình với tên gọi “biên niên sử”: một cuốn sách không cần giấy mực, nhưng lưu giữ được những gì đã qua. Một hạt rêu nhỏ bé có thể mang theo nó câu chuyện của hàng trăm năm. Nó lớn lên trên bề mặt những công trình cổ, trên đá núi, trên mái ngói, trên những phiến đường rêu phong của một thành phố cũ. Nó ghi lại dấu vết của từng cơn mưa, từng đợt nắng, từng trận gió mùa.
Và như thế, Rêu bước vào cuộc đời tôi như một chứng nhân lặng lẽ nhưng không thể nào lơ đãng. Cùng với Thời gian, Rêu tồn tại trong một vũ điệu chậm rãi, không màng đến sự hối hả của thế gian. Tôi trở thành người chứng kiến: không, đúng hơn là kẻ lang thang giữa những lớp ký ức thời gian mà Rêu lưu giữ, cố gắng hiểu những gì mà nó muốn nói.
Nhưng liệu Biên niên sử Rêu có thực sự là một câu chuyện thú vị? Hay chỉ là tôi đang cố gắng tìm kiếm ý nghĩa trong một thứ vốn dĩ vô ngôn?

Intro
As our society advances and technology continues to evolve, our quality of life has seen remarkable improvements. Yet, the desire for relaxation, tranquility, and a deeper connection with oneself has become a fundamental part of our daily existence. This need is increasingly pressing, given the rising prevalence of mental health challenges like stress and anxiety.
The relentless pace of modern life, combined with the pressures of work, often leads to heightened stress, anxiety, and various mental health concerns. Taking a moment to pause and breathe can offer us a valuable chance to reconnect with nature and reflect on ourselves. Nature holds a profound healing power: when our minds are no longer disrupted by the constant noise of traffic, when our emotions are no longer constrained by concrete jungles, and when we can breathe clean, unpolluted air, we experience true inner peace. Immersed in nature, we rediscover the serenity that lies within our souls.
Thus, creating a meditation retreat that harmonizes with nature is essential. This sanctuary will offer a tranquil haven where individuals can find solace, cultivate mindfulness, practice meditation, heal their souls, and share positive values with the world.

Phác thảo Chiến lược Quốc gia chung sống an toàn với lũ lụt tại Huế
Triết lý nền tảng: Chuyển từ tư duy “chống lũ” sang “sống chung với lũ một cách thông minh và an toàn”. Coi nước lũ là một phần của hệ sinh thái và văn hóa Huế, cần được quản lý chứ không thể triệt tiêu.
[Kiến trúc sư – Quy hoạch gia Hồ Viết Vinh]
Bốn Trụ Cột Chiến Lược chính:
1. Trụ cột quy hoạch và hạ tầng thông minh
Mục tiêu: Kiến tạo một không gian sống có khả năng “co giãn” cùng với lũ.
- Phân vùng rủi ro lũ chi tiết:
- Lập bản đồ ngập lụt chi tiết đến từng con phố, khu dân cư, dựa trên các kịch bản lũ khác nhau (10 năm, 20 năm, 50 năm, 100 năm).
- Cấm xây dựng các công trình thiết yếu (bệnh viện, trường học, trung tâm cứu hộ) và khu dân cư mật độ cao trong vùng lũ trũng, sâu.
- Quy hoạch các “vùng đệm”, “không gian xanh thấm nước” dọc theo sông Hương và các phụ lưu để nước lũ có chỗ tràn vào mà không gây hại cho đô thị.
- Phát triển hạ tầng “thuận thiên”:
- Xây dựng “Thành phố bọt biển”: Thay thế bê tông hóa bằng các bề mặt thấm nước (vỉa hè thấm nước, công viên có hồ điều tiết). Khuyến khích các mái nhà xanh, hệ thống thu gom nước mưa.
- Thiết kế kiến trúc thích ứng: Quy chuẩn xây dựng mới bắt buộc các công trình trong vùng ngập phải có tầng trệt “nổi” hoặc không gian kiên cố để chứa đồ, nâng cao nền nhà, sử dụng vật liệu chịu nước.
- Hạ tầng giao thông linh hoạt:
- Phát triển hệ thống giao thông thủy nội đô (thuyền, phà) như một phương tiện chính thức trong mùa lũ.
- Thiết kế các tuyến đường tránh lũ và cầu vượt lũ.
2. Trụ cột hệ thống cảnh báo sớm và ứng phó hiệu quả
Mục tiêu: Biến mọi người dân thành một “cảm biến” và một “chiến sĩ” cứu hộ tiềm năng.
- Hiện đại hóa công nghệ dự báo:
- Lắp đặt mạng lưới trạm đo mưa, mực nước tự động theo thời gian thực.
- Ứng dụng Trí tuệ Nhân tạo (AI) để phân tích dữ liệu và đưa ra dự báo chính xác hơn về thời điểm, quy mô và phạm vi ngập lụt.
- Truyền thông cảnh báo đa kênh, dễ hiểu:
- Cảnh báo không chỉ nói “mưa bao nhiêu mm” mà phải mô tả cụ thể: “Đường Nguyễn Huệ sẽ ngập sâu 0.5m trong 3 giờ tới”, “Khu vực Gia Hội cần sơ tán trước 18h”.
- Sử dụng SMS, ứng dụng di động, loa phát thanh, và mạng xã hội.
- Chuẩn bị ứng phó cộng đồng:
- Thành lập và huấn luyện Đội phản ứng nhanh cấp phường/xã. Mỗi khu phố đều có lực lượng tại chỗ.
- Xây dựng “Bản đồ an toàn cộng đồng”: Đánh dấu các điểm sơ tán an toàn, điểm có đất cao, lộ trình di chuyển an toàn trong mùa lũ.
- Trang bị kỹ năng sống sót: Tổ chức các khóa huấn luyện cho người dân về cách di chuyển trong nước lũ, sơ cấp cứu, và sử dụng áo phao.
3. Trụ cột phát triển kinh tế – xã hội bền vững
Mục tiêu: Giảm thiểu thiệt hại kinh tế và đảm bảo an sinh xã hội trong mùa lũ.
- Bảo hiểm rủi ro thiên tai:
- Nhà nước và các doanh nghiệp cùng phát triển các gói bảo hiểm lũ lụt phổ cập và có hỗ trợ cho nhà cửa, phương tiện và tài sản của người dân, đặc biệt là các hộ kinh doanh nhỏ.
- Biến gánh nặng cứu trợ sau lũ thành một cơ chế chia sẻ rủi ro chủ động từ trước.
- Chuyển đổi mô hình sinh kế:
- Khuyến khích các mô hình kinh doanh, nông nghiệp có thể thích ứng hoặc tận dụng mùa lũ (du lịch sinh thái mùa nước nổi, nuôi trồng thủy sản theo mùa vụ).
- Hỗ trợ doanh nghiệp xây dựng kế hoạch kinh doanh mùa lũ: chủ động dự trữ hàng hóa, nâng cao kho bãi, chuyển đổi hình thức kinh doanh trực tuyến tạm thời.
4. Trụ cột nâng cao nhận thức và văn hoá ứng phó
Mục tiêu: Hình thành “GEN sống chung với lũ” trong mỗi người dân và trong cộng đồng.

- Đưa kiến thức về lũ lụt, kỹ năng ứng phó và ý thức “thuận thiên” vào chương trình giảng dạy chính khóa từ cấp tiểu học tại Huế.
- Tổ chức diễn tập phòng chống lũ lụt định kỳ trong trường học.
- Xây dựng văn hóa “Thuận Thiên”:
- Tuyên truyền để người dân hiểu rõ “Sống ở Huế là phải biết bơi, biết dự trữ lương thực, và có kế hoạch di chuyển khi có lũ”.
- Vận động người dân không xả rác ra sông ngòi để tránh tắc nghẽn dòng chảy.
Cơ chế thực thi và giám sát
- Thành lập Ban Chỉ đạo Quốc gia về Thích ứng với Lũ lụt tại Miền Trung, do một Phó Thủ tướng đứng đầu, với sự tham gia của các Bộ, ngành và chính quyền Thành phố Huế.
- Ưu tiên ngân sách trung hạn và dài hạn cho chiến lược này, kết hợp với kêu gọi vốn ODA và đầu tư tư nhân vào các dự án hạ tầng thích ứng.
- Xây dựng cơ chế giám sát và đánh giá độc lập, công khai minh bạch tiến độ và hiệu quả của các dự án.
Kết luận: Chiến lược này không phải là một giấc mơ viển vông, mà là một lộ trình cần thiết để biến Huế từ một “nạn nhân” của lũ lụt trở thành một hình mẫu về “Thành phố Phục hồi” (Resilient City) – nơi con người và thiên nhiên cùng nhau tồn tại và phát triển bền vững.

Next project | Hue ancient capital looks to the future

How to build Hue ancient capital city? The question has been raised since the day the Nguyen Dynasty relic in Hue was recognized as a world heritage site by Unesco, especially since the day Hue was decided by the Nation as a typical Festival City, many seminars also mentioned, but until now, no idea has been recognized. It is known that Architect Ho Viet Vinh is a Hue hometown, is teaching at the University of Architecture in Ho Chi Minh City, has done a Master’s thesis about Hue, has many construction works for Vietnam in the 21st century. He has the opportunity to study many ancient capital cities, many ancient cities of the continents of Europe, Asia, America, Australia, Africa, TTH newspaper asked him these questions.
1. TTH newspaper. New spring is coming, TTH newspaper is very happy to meet you. Knowing you are a Hue’s hometown, having studied planning and architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty, could you please tell me what you are thinking about Hue City today?
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: Hue-The Heritage City is in the process of expanding its boundaries and transforming urban spatial structure. From a strictly ordered city on a large area stretching from the Royal Capital to the villages, gradually transitioning to an irregular and chaotic urban structure. Therefore, the disturbances in urban spatial organization are causing concerns for residents, tourists and even urban experts. An issue placed on the conference table that still has no satisfactory solution is whether this is a normal change of a Heritage City on the path of integration and development or a deviation in orientation. this particular urban development. For a valid argument, we need to go back nearly 700 years to see the treasure of Hue urban heritage values accumulated through historical periods to orient the way for the future. Hue Heritage Urban has been formed through the following stages:
• The period before 1558: the first inhabitants came to Thuan Chau land
• The period from 1558-1775: the migrations to find the land of Phu Xuan capital
• The period from 1802-1885: the plan to build the Capital has the largest scale and the most complete function in urban history.
• The period from 1885-1945: the southern expansion of the Perfume River formed a two-structure urban model: the Vietnamese quarter and the Western quarter.
• The period from 1945-1986: nature-war-planning economy (subsidy period) changed urban spatial structure towards filling urban voids.
• The period from 1986-1993: the formation of subdivisions and the isolation of the heritage in the spatial distance.
• 1993-present period: historical transformation plan to turn medium-scale urban-heritage into large-scale urban area (Thua Thien Hue City under the sixth central government of Vietnam).
Indeed, over a journey of nearly 7 centuries, Hue with its architectural appearance and heritage formed and developed over a long period of time with many historical changes has created a Hue city full of unique characteristics. distinctiveness in the cultural space of Ngu mountain-Perfume river. Hue urban structure identifies the Perfume River as the main layout axis that creates the shape of the Citadel and nurtures the human spirit of Hue. Yet the urban expansion of the late 20th and early 21st centuries has turned its back on the river, creating a pervasive urban structure, stretching and filling in precious gaps in the existing urban structure. 2. You have surveyed and studied many ancient cities, many ancient capital cities, what do you think is different from Hue compared to those ancient cities?
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: I also had the opportunity to survey and research some heritage cities such as Kyoto-Japan, Siem Reap-Cambodia, Bali-Indonesia, Luang Phrabang-Lao, CapeTown-South Africa, Lyon-France, Casablanca-Morocco must recognize that each city has its own appearance, in harmony with the natural setting. The difference between Hue and these cities is the behavior between people and nature and between people and people. In such a way, the people of Hue have created a slow and relaxed way of life to achieve the wonderful harmony between Man and Nature.
3. What can we learn experiences from these ancient cities?
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: These heritage cities preserve the form and spirit of the place of history at the time it was born, any interference in the development process is carefully considered not to do damage to the monument whether it is open space or landscaped terrain. The first and most valuable lesson for Hue is that the developed urban structure must accept the Perfume River as the layout axis and respect the central role of the Hue Citadel in the development in harmony with nature. The second lesson is that the concept of heritage adaptation needs to be placed in the context of the new urban environment that is a continuation between the past and the future. New construction within the influence of the heritage must inherit and highlight this continuity based on the spirit of place. Each work, cluster of works must be created based on the unique spirit of the Heritage City. Building a place must match the times, away from the habit of copying and imposing architectural models without selection.
4. How was the construction in that old city?
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: I would like to mention the conservation and development plans of some heritage cities that Hue can refer to and study.
• The heritage city of Lyon (France): located on an oasis at the confluence of the Le Rhône and Saône rivers, the world heritage space is located on a part of this oasis and another part owned by the Saône river in the area. central position of the urban spatial structure. The traffic axes of the northern belt (péripherique du nord) and the southern belt (péripherique du sud) are located at two ends to avoid affecting this area. The enhancement of connectivity through continuous traffic axes between the historic center and the new urban area. The development model that combines the old and new structures on both sides of this river also ensures the parallel development and conservation goals of this contrasting heritage city.
• The heritage city of Venice (Italy): was selected to develop in a way that completely preserves the spatial structure based on the unique water transportation system in the world. New and old spaces are connected on the same system of canals, creating a common rhythm of spatial continuity as well as increasing the overall harmony. The modern transport system is located far away and ensures that it does not affect the completeness of the urban structure. The model that strictly preserves the compositional character has created a magical heritage city full of romance.
• Kyoto Heritage City (Japan): Kyoto Heritage City is developed sequentially and interlaced between old and new on the existing urban structure, ensuring a balance between construction and urban gaps. The city still preserves Temples-Pagodas-Temples located in the intact mountainous landscape to the east and west of the citadel built in the past, attaching the shape of religious works to the spiritual landscape of the mountains and forests. . Heritage buildings such as the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the old town, pagodas and temples are preserved intact the authenticity of history and spirit of the place. The modern urban area is harmoniously interwoven into the existing urban structure, creating a bustling atmosphere without creating pressure on the historical space.
• Amterdam Heritage City (Netherlands): The heritage city of Amterdam-Netherlands maintains a new system of co-structured canals that create a transitional space between the old urban part and the new urban part to enhance diversity. morphological form of urban space structure and ensure uniformity. 5. What factors help these ancient cities to retain their traditional characteristics while still integrating into modern times and successfully developing their economy in a sustainable way
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: As I mentioned above, these heritage cities always respect the historical value created by previous generations, even though there are differences in views and attitudes towards the historical role. its history. After all, Heritage is the crystallization of the values and efforts of the community on the ideological foundation of the ruling class, so preserving the heritage is like preserving the nation’s treasure for future generations. thinking and shaping the way for the future. Therefore, there is no antagonism between Conservation and development, conservation is the foundation of development and vice versa, development creates conditions for better conservation. The city is a living entity that moves and develops over time, the architectural heritage that is a component of it also moves and develops. Although the heritage itself does not change, the changing environment leads to a different perception of the heritage and becomes more and more attractive and valuable. Therefore, to manage the Heritage City, it also needs good, enthusiastic and brave people to make appropriate development policies and exploit the treasure value to serve humanity in the spirit of UNESCO, because The reason is that the Heritage is “unique”, there must be a “unique” Person to govern.
6. In order to get rid of the current stagnant situation, what should Hue ancient capital city do to look forward to the future where it can stand side by side with ancient cities in the region and in the world?
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: In my opinion, it’s time to carry out a plan to rebuild the Heritage City based on the new idea of a Hue City – 21st Century (referred to as Hue 21) developed in parallel with the Citadel. The heritage street in the continuity relationship receives the Perfume River as the main layout axis. This idea will help the Heritage City to escape from the “oil slick” development model of most urban areas in Vietnam, the consequences of which are the encroachment and distortion of historical spaces. In my Master’s thesis on Hue in 2001, I also outlined the shape of the spatial structure of Hue City in the 21st century with a linear urban model (about 8km in length and 2km in average width) located in the center of the city. symmetrically with the Citadel through the lower part of the Perfume River with an area of about 1600 ha. The driving force of urban development extends 8km towards Thuan An estuary, this is an ecological avenue with modern landscapes combined with a network of rivers and canals spreading to the lower Huong River to create a new balance. between modern architectural works surrounded by village ecological environment. The waterways perpendicular to this boulevard were dug up to raise the foundation for construction areas according to traditional feng shui principles.
The urban structure is built according to the 21st century ecological urban model, suitable for new lifestyles and modes of living in order to complete the function of the Heritage City in the future. The concept of Landscape Urban (Paysage urbaine) of heritage city goes hand in hand with the concept of Village Urban (Village urbaine) of the 21st century – An era aimed at protecting the environment and improving the quality of life, perhaps the right choice for the future Hue (see outline diagram).

7. In your opinion, what has kept Hue City from developing? How to overcome that?
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: Hue urban architectural heritage is the diversity of spatial forms formed through historical periods, including: the system of Palace and Palace of the Nguyen Chua, Thanh Ha commercial port area, and neighborhoods. Bao Vinh town, Imperial City area, Nguyen King’s Tomb area, east commercial area of the Citadel, Kim Long-Vi Da garden house, Western quarter, multi-functional commercial street formed on the background of the locality. Spatial morphology of the Nui Ngu-Perfume River region. However, due to many reasons, the urban heritage fund is being degraded due to the invasion of time and the lack of human intervention. Even the efforts to restore and recreate the heritage in the region are expensive but do not bring vitality to the monument, in addition, the new construction without a strategic vision is turning Hue into a “popular city”. . According to a survey of tourists who come to Hue for the first time, they do not want to return because the attractiveness of the Heritage City is dwindling. Therefore, Hue Heritage City is currently losing its attractiveness in the competition between domestic and international heritage cities, statistics show this correlation:
• Kyoto-Japan Heritage City has a natural area of 827 square kilometers, a population of 1,473,746 people, and an annual number of tourists 30 million, of which about 1.2 million are international visitors.
• The Bali-Indonesia heritage city has a natural area of 5,780 km2, a population of 4,225,384 people, the number of international tourists 3.5 million.
• The heritage city of Siem Reap-Cambodia has a natural area of 10,299 km2, a population of 896,309 people, and the number of international visitors 1.6 million.
• The Hue-Vietnam Heritage City has a natural area of 5,062 km2, a population of 1,115,523, the number of visitors 2.4 million, of which about 0.9 million are international visitors.
The most common point is that the main economic activities of these Heritage Cities are tourism and activities related to exploiting tourism services to serve and satisfy visitors. In the competition for attractive destinations, the Cities will attract tourists and ensure an annual growth of over 10%. Many conferences and seminars have mentioned the weakness of Hue tourism industry and pointed out many reasons leading to this situation, but two important factors can be clearly seen: in planning The economic development strategy of Thua Thien Province has not yet considered tourism as a spearhead economic sector and has not had suitable measures to enhance the attractiveness of tourism products to serve the needs of domestic and foreign tourists. countries in competition with destinations in the region and the world. Although Hue is a national festival city, cultural activities are held every 2 years in the form of theatrical organization which is difficult to attract people and tourists. In addition, people still stay out of these festival activities because the organization is still heavily directed by the government and lacks the encouragement of participation from the local community – an important factor. keep the soul of cultural festivals in Heritage Cities.
8. In your opinion, to attract Hue people and Hue lovers outside Hue, what should Hue City do?
Arch.Ho Viet Vinh: The 21st century is the era of a knowledge-based economy in which the role of good and dedicated professionals is respected and created favorable conditions for dedication. Hue is the land of talented people, so many outstanding Vietnamese people have lived, studied, worked and fell in love with Hue. Having the opportunity to live and work in this Nervous land must be the dream of young intellectuals to fulfill their future ambitions. The important issue that Hue leaders must do is to seek advice and truly respect and trust to entrust important tasks to the next generation, rather than looking for people with many qualifications. In order to help Hue in the construction of the ancient capital city, one must have vision (knowledge of the ancient city), heart (love Hue), and even money. In order to attract that partner, in Hue, it is necessary to have an equal leadership team, have specific regulations, have appropriate policies, and have strong charismatic people (Hue people in Hue do not lack these people). ) Help.
