VIUP won a prize in the contest of architectural designs for the conservation of the historical site at 18 Hoang Dieu street, Hanoi

On June 24, Ha Noi City People’s Committee and Centre for Thang Long-Ha Noi Heritage Conservation organized the honouring ceremony for the conservation of the historical site at 18 Hoang Dieu Street, Ha Noi.

The designs were required to compile schemes to preserve the historical site while ensuring the architecture blended in with surrounding structures. The move aims to construct a cultural and historical park within the Imperial Citadel in the long run and facilitate public activities.

After three months, organizers received 24 entries from 23 different architecture firms at home and abroad. The top six designs were put on public display at the Centre’s headquarters at 19C Hoang Dieu Street ahead of the official awarding ceremony.

The design by a joint venture between the Vietnam Institute for Urban and Rural Planning (VIUP) and Group8 (G8) received the consolation prize.
