The jury recognized Chi’s project as an inspiring one that greatly impacts the local community. It successfully integrates with the simplicity of coastal residents’ lives while preserving the beauty of the landscape.
The project is situated in Phan Thiet City, Vietnam, and is deeply rooted in the local community’s attachment to the sea. By utilizing the form and space of a museum, Tran Thi Chi’s project stands against urbanization, which often erodes the “sense of place,” cultural identity, and heritage in the area.
Nguyen Thanh Luan, another student from Course 24 majoring in Architecture at Van Lang University, also made it to the top 100 of the International Graduation Project Award 2023 with their project titled “Folk Belief Cultural Museum of Vietnam”.
