The International competition has concerned the formulation of a “Concept Design” for the Urban Planning of a new city including a sophisticated and detailed architectural design.©
The new city will span over a 788 Hectares land comprised in the wider Ha Long Ecological-Cultural Special Zone, part of the Ha Long Bay, UNESCO Natural World Heritage.©
The greatest design challenge faced by the project has been the process of focusing on the vision of an “urban identity” for the new city, consistent with its “mission” of a city, environmentally compatible and to be perfectly integrated within the landscape of the Ha Long Bay while industriously dedicated to tourism & trade activities, respectful and interested in the promotion of the exceptional characteristics of the surrounding nature, of the local culture and traditions.©
Within this contest, the urban planning and architectural solutions respond to the following sustainable design criteria:
• Zero energy (self-sufficient in renewable power)
• Zero carbon
• Zero waste (the “000” strategy)
The success obtained in this difficult and fascinating challenge has been the result of many strategies:
1.©
Respect for the uniqueness of the Ha Long Bay ‘s landscape
2.©
Modern new interpretation of the identity and local construction knowledge
The project won the International competition because it creates a combination between:
• Architecture and landscape: Modern architecture in harmony with local landscape.
• Tradition and innovation: Traditional building techniques and highly advanced technological solutions.©
• Sustainable and economic development.©
The choice of environmental strategies proposes one balanced Vietnam‘s urban development based on the respect of natural resources and beauty.©
