Maison de Corail
A PRIVATE CONTEMPORARY ART HOUSE, THE MOST MAGNIFICENT, STATE-OF-THE-ART AND UNIQUE ONE IN SOUTHERN VIETNAM.
The concept of the project is a hybrid space, there is no determination or boundaries. We want a space that integrates botany, meditation and art where people can feel free to take care of themselves, slowly with relaxation. Using nostalgia and natural matter, crafted by artisan hands, paintings that desire to finding beauty in imperfection but real environments. The facade make by breezeway blocks to allow sun and wind in, to avoid artificial air conditioning systems. The general purpose is to create a minimalist lifestyle in which a slow passing of time. The lava stones react shades to the sunlight movement along the day. Various forms are manifested by the light gradually moving. A spiral staircase along the courtyard has a rendered banister and concrete treads. It leads up to an open art workshop and meditation space.
“Ẩn tàng chốn lạ mà quen
Lá chen mây trắng hoa chèn sắc hương
Ngõ vương ánh nắng qua đường
Yêu thương đọng lại khu vườn ngày xưa.”
“Strange but familiar hidden place
Leaves insert flowers into white clouds
Light alley across the street
Love leaves the old garden. ”

Capturing The Movements Of The Heart: The ‘In Motion’ Exhibition By Ho Viet Vinh
Architect Hồ Viết Vinh presents a new and relatable artistic experience to the youth of Saigon, blending abstraction with familiarity.
Once upon a time, three monks observed a flag waving in the breeze and engaged in a debate. The first monk remarked, “The flag is moving.” The second countered, “The flag itself cannot move; the wind is moving.” The third monk posited, “Both the wind and the flag move in harmony.” A fourth monk, passing by, declared, “Neither the wind nor the flag truly moves; it’s our perceptions that shift.”
As I explored Hồ Viết Vinh’s “In Motion” exhibition, I felt a mix of emotions and thoughts. Each artwork was filled with different colors and hinted at movement, even though they were still pictures.
Every painting by Hồ Viết Vinh is a visual delight. While his intent might have been to capture the essence of motion in nature, he achieved something profound: a reflection on the inner movements of our souls.
Walking Amidst the Colors
I visited the exhibition on a Sunday afternoon in the vibrant and spacious Audi Charging Lounge. The first thing that struck me was the ingenious arrangement of paintings interspersed within the existing layout of the Audi Charging Lounge – primarily a venue to display and charge vehicles.
In front of the art display area stood an Audi car, embodying the spirit that Architect Hồ Viết Vinh captured in his paintings: the relentless transition of all things. This particular notion resonates with the theme of “art in motion” – the fusion of art and movement, the convergence of paintings and cars, as the artist shared during his talk at the exhibit.
Eighteen paintings were showcased in the space. Some were mounted on walls, while others seemed to “fall” from the ceiling, unexpectedly appearing before the viewers, illustrating the serene shifts of nature.
Among these “falling” artworks, clusters of three or four paintings merged. The movement of these pieces wasn’t merely vertical from the ceiling downwards but also spanned horizontally, unfolding right before the viewers. Additionally, these “falling” artworks leaned against one another, forming pairs that seemed to hover in the air.
Beyond these elements, there appeared to be no specific intent in the sequential arrangement of the paintings, whether front to back or outer to inner. True to what Architect Hồ Viết Vinh mentioned in his interview with Vietcetera: “Relax, let your guard down, and take your time with details that captivate you. If none do, it’s alright to move on.”
Experiencing Art Beyond Just Sight
The first time I saw these paintings, it was a delightful and captivating confusion, and I think many young people who aren’t familiar with art felt the same way.
Almost all the artworks did not depict any tangible objects. Viewers might struggle to grasp solid subjects or sharp features if they cling to traditional aesthetic experiences such as realism or the expectation that every object must be explicitly depicted.
To truly appreciate Hồ Viết Vinh’s art, one needs to feel it in ways beyond just sight. In front of certain paintings, after meticulously following every brush stroke, I had to close my eyes to visualize and organize my perceptions. The essence of understanding his art lies in engaging multiple senses and individual experiences.
What really caught my eye in his artwork was how he played with colors. Some colors smoothly flowed into each other, while others looked intentionally uneven, giving the impression of swirling winds and twisting waves.
The painting that struck me the most, “Untitled 18,” seemed to involve not just paint but also wood – or what seemed like wood. I say this because the canvas isn’t truly flat: upon close observation, you can discern the coarse wooden texture emerging from it. To me, this painting exploits light and material to play with the viewer’s perception.
From a distance, it feels as if you’re looking down a long corridor illuminated by a sidelight, with the soft yellow glow of a house at the end. However, as you draw nearer and notice the rough surface, the perception of depth fades, and the corridor seems to vanish, leaving behind intertwined hazy squares.
The Untitled: Letting the Work Speak for Itself
On the day of my visit to the exhibition, architect Hồ Viết Vinh had a sharing session with the media and attendees. He talked about his artistic endeavors, the confluence of architecture and fine arts, the motivations behind the exhibition, and his insights into his creations.
The highlight of this sharing was his revelations about drawing inspiration from nature and the artistic ethos he adopted. Hồ Viết Vinh expressed a deep resonance with the artworks of Caspar David Friedrich, the emblematic painter from the Romantic era.
Vinh’s pieces echo the evocative style and liberality of nature portrayed in Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings. He saw harmony in Friedrich’s illustrations, emphasizing humanity’s humble stance against the overwhelming majesty of nature.
This sentiment is palpable in Vinh’s “Untitled 5” – a portrayal of the ocean that captures human awe and humility before nature’s magnificence, reminiscent of Friedrich’s “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog.”
He also shared the reason why all the paintings are untitled. He didn’t want them to be confined to a predetermined meaning, aiming instead for viewers to find both familiarity and uniqueness in their interpretations. I find this approach intriguing.
Indeed, it’s always insightful to admire a painting and then hear the artist’s thoughts on it, understanding the emotions and intentions behind the colors and strokes. Yet, I often found that my interpretations didn’t fully align with his explanations.
While observing his work and listening to his insights, I began to grasp his artistic intentions. But still, I found myself resonating with emotions that he might not have anticipated.
This disparity might be the essence of art: it’s not about uniformity but about individual interpretations, as long as there’s mutual respect. This seemed to be the core of the discussion: listening, understanding, and appreciating the diversity of perspectives on art, life, and nature.
From 1st to 10th September 2023, the ‘In Motion’ art exhibition was held at Audi Charging Lounge, 6B Tôn Đức Thắng. Jointly organized by Lotus Gallery and Audi Vietnam, it was supported by Vietcetera, Saigon Cider, and Cara Lighting, drawing over 2,000 attendees.
The artworks remain displayed at Lotus Gallery (1st floor, Cspace Center, 12-13 N1 street, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City) until 24th September 2023, as part of ‘Olfactory Odyssey – Beyond Perfume,’ blending visual arts with fragrance artistry.

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.
