Abstract
Saigon – Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) with its 300 years of development has resulted in diverse architecture in terms of types and styles, of which modern architecture is somehow less concerned and sometimes neglected. This research is aimed to take a survey on Modern Architecture in Saigon-HCMC in order to list valuable ones that need attention to the development related to their values.
Highlights
Regarding modern architecture because of its recent existence of the 20th century, a little attention is paid to protection of its values in many places, including Vietnam
In Vietnam, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were chosen to undertake the survey aiming at listing initially valuable modern buildings which are likely under threats of neglect ion and demolitions due to rapid urbanizations and aggressive developments [1]
This section analyses two components of the research, which include (1) the analytical analysis of modern building morphologies in Saigon – Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in two periods and (2) the list of buildings recommended based upon the values given to each one
Summary
Regarding modern architecture because of its recent existence of the 20th century, a little attention is paid to protection of its values in many places, including Vietnam. MASEANa project is one of the efforts to recognize and somehow draw attentions on modern building heritage protections in ASEAN countries, including Vietnam. In Vietnam, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were chosen to undertake the survey aiming at listing initially valuable modern buildings which are likely under threats of neglect ion and demolitions due to rapid urbanizations and aggressive developments [1]. In 2002, a research on architecture in Ho Chi Minh City after 1986 was carried out by a group of lecturers of Architecture Department, University of Architecture HCMC. In relation to modern architecture of this city which started since the beginning of the 20th century, this research only covered the later period [1,2,3]
