gmp FOCUS: The Hanoi Museum in Vietnam
Building a historic city museum in the capital of a country that is experiencing vehement political and economic turmoil was a challenge for all those involved. What is the social purpose of this museum? How should it present itself from an architectural and urban development point of view? What has emerged is a solitaire like an inverted pyramid, with layered terraces jutting outwards increasingly towards the top, amidst a park with water features and large areas for outdoor exhibitions.
The architecture of the Hanoi Museum is presented in this volume of the gmp FOCUS series using plans, images and texts, and specialist journalist Falk Jaeger classifies the building in terms of architectural history.
