The event was part of an international cooperative programme between Vietnam and Japan through the “House Vision Vietnam-Japan 2015” project.
The programme aimed to assess factors related to housing space such as community, land, residents, and construction works in Hanoi’s Old Quarter and devise solutions to preserve its cultural heritage values.
During the discussion, Japanese architect Sadao Tsuchiya, head of the co-ordinating board of the project House Vision in Asia presented housing models which are suitable to Hanoi’s ancient streets and have been successfully applied in Tokyo.
The Japanese architect said the project trends towards building safe, healthy, people and environmently friendly, and multi-purpose houses.
He added that the project was very successful in Japan, a country which has limited housing space. It has also been developed in many nations in Asia like China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
