Young architects saving the best of old Hanoi

Young architects saving the best of old Hanoi

Instead of grasping opportunities for good jobs in foreign companies, seven years ago, a group of young architects in Hanoi decided to choose a more challenging path. Using advanced 3D technology, they put their common efforts into making images of the capital’s architectural heritage built in the 19th century French architectural style.

Old sidewalks with cracks covered with moss and houses with ancient roofs silently hiding under large, green canopies of trees are Dinh Viet Phuong’s constant dreams about a Hanoi of more than sixty years ago. The young architect feels sad when witnessing more and more sights of the scenic city being damaged by modern encroachment.

Le Viet Ha, founder of Ashui.com said, “Through the depiction of the beauty of ancient Hanoi via virtual pictures, we wish to appeal to people to treasure and preserve what Hanoi has now.”
