VOV.VN - A group of students from Vietnamese-German University in Ho Chi Minh City has won two prizes in the student category of the Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) in the United States, outperforming thousands of entries from 72 countries.
The winning projects were selected by an international jury comprising architects and leaders in the architecture field. Award recipients receive the AMP trophy and opportunities to present their designs more widely.
With the project “Nepal Learning Nest,” students Ha Gia Bao, Nguyen Nguyen Khoi and Nguyen Ngoc Minh Anh won the Best of Best award in the student architectural design category.
Another project, “Cultural Center for Children in Binh Duong,”designed by Ha Gia Bao, Nguyen Le Truong Nguyen, Vo Huu Phuc and Tran Tien Dung, received an Honorable Mention in the student category.
Ha Gia Bao, an architecture student at the university, said the awards were presented in early December. He said the team was encouraged by the international recognition their projects received.
For final-year students, he added, the achievement marked a particularly meaningful milestone, as it was almost the last opportunity to compete in international awards as students of the university.
He said the results were not only personally significant but also provided a positive foundation, giving future generations of architecture students greater confidence to take part in similar international competitions.
