Hoang Thuc Hao - A most exciting Vietnamese architect
VOV.VN - South Asia is a land under construction with billions of US dollars being spent annually on all types of building projects— with architects clamouring to make their mark in the region.
 |
|
Now a range of local talent is stepping forward to export their aesthetic talent abroad. |
 |
|
In celebration, we take a look at architect Hoang Thuc Hao who designed the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Centre that opened late last year in Dewaling, Bumthang. |
 |
|
Bhutan is located in South Asia. It is bordered to the north by China and to the south, east and west by India. |
 |
|
The GNH Centre is built on 1,500m2 of land. It includes a meditation hall, conference hall, administrative block, dining hall, kitchen and two staff quarters. |
 |
|
The meditation hall has capacity to hold 200 people. |
 |
|
The conference hall can provide 100 seats. |
 |
|
The centre is designed to combat the hard weather. |
 |
|
The meditation hall follows the traditional architecture of Bhutan. |
 |
|
The window system is well-designed to receive rays of sunlight. |
