gmp FOCUS: Vietnamese National Assembly Building in Hanoi
Von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects believe architecture evolves in conversation with the specific conditions of each particular building project. At the same time, they consistently seek a contemporary form of expression. Through a design process lasting several years—involving close communication with the client and continuous discourse around the country's architectural history—the Vietnamese National Assembly Building, Hanoi, emerged as a distinctive design that resolves tensions between modern and traditional, local and international architecture.
In this volume of the gmp FOCUS series, the architects convey through plans, images, and accompanying text, a vivid and detailed introduction to the Vietnamese National Assembly Building, awarded the Vietnamese National Prize for Architecture. A comprehensive essay offers an informative history of modern architecture in Vietnam.
