Combining indigenous experience and modern technology is a good solution

Also questioning in the context of international integration, architect Nguyen Quoc Tuan - Member of the Department of Green and Sustainable Architecture Asia, mentioned another issue. It is becoming more and more globalized in many areas. Design and construction technology has been introduced and expanded, and the penetration of international design firms has duplicated the same "identity" architecture, cities have the content and form of tissue. the same. Architectural replication has become increasingly negative, becoming a global problem of identity loss, particularly in Asia, where technology is behind. In this context, which direction is suitable for Vietnam? Develop new technology or return to indigenous wisdom?

According to research, the indigenous architecture of Asia is very "green" because in the past people have to adapt to the environment. The relationship between people and the environment is very harmonious. Spatial system is accumulated in which collective experience is transmitted. Moreover, folk wisdom is passed down through generations and is continually revised and perfected. Thanks to that, the building can survive without spending too much resources, not putting pressure on the surrounding environment.

Leading to international research in comparing modern energy-saving technologies and standards with indigenous architecture, Tuan Architects says that 38% of traditional homeowners save more energy than adopting the International Standard for Energy Conservation IECC; 29% of traditional home energy saver heating, if calculated on overall energy ...

According to architect Nguyen Quoc Tuan, combining indigenous experiences and modern design technologies, construction is the best solution to achieve sustainable development models.

On the micro-climate solution, it is natural ventilation through the room, under the roof, open the sky well; 2 sunshield walls but still allow the wind to pass through; creating many open interconnected, roofed; spatial separation, block organization of good climate.

Material and technical solutions, which are using local materials, easily exploited, renewable in the natural environment; Applying the essence of traditional construction techniques to works bearing local breaths, but still ensure modern conveniences and functions; Incorporating new technology and traditional materials to create a contemporary breath-taking facility, but still save energy at a low cost.

The solution of integration of indigenous culture, that is the combination of materials, architectural forms integrate context bearing Vietnamese identity; To coordinate materials and architectural forms in space organizations, in the form of vertical architecture with Vietnamese identity; Coordination of materials, forms, colors in the interior conveying indigenous culture.

Architect Nguyen Quoc Tuan said: Although the technology is more and more powerful but the resources are exhausted every year, the scale of development is always limited and never achieved sustainable growth. We should go back to what we left behind to run the technology, which is indigenous experience. Over time, people have to be more intelligent to find the right path leading to a bright and sustainable future.

Hoang Thuc Hao Architect, who has been very successful in designing architectural works of local identity and won many awards at home and abroad, said that once again, The context of international integration and export architecture, the parallel design technology, modern construction and indigenous experience is essential.
