    I, A general introduction about Vietnam’s architecture

    One of the most outstanding things to foreigners is architecture that reflects one part
    of Vietnamese culture. Although Vietnam architecture was influenced by Western
    Style, China during colonial times, we also created our unique architecture. And after
    unnumbered wars, the refinement of Vietnamese architecture continues to be well
    presented in Hanoi Old Quarter, Vietnam ethnic stilt houses and myriad of temples
    and pagodas, communal houses, ancient villages across the country.

    Located on the Indochina Peninsula, Vietnam and its building fabric are tied to the
    country’s hilly and densely forested landscape. The diverse topography between the
    northern highlands and southern lowlands led to a varied climate, where architecture
    had to meet different thermal and liminaol considerations. Constructed amidst basalt
    plateaus, continuous coastlines and the Red River Delta, Vietnamese architecture
    adopted a nimble and adaptable nature.

    Along with the development of the nation's history, the creation of humans can be
    said to have started 4000 years ago and the history of Vietnamese architecture is
    recorded from the period when the country was founded, the Hung King period
    (before 207 BC). The Van Lang - Au Lac culture, also known as the rice civilization,
    with the famous bronze casting technique - Dong Son culture period. During this
    period, through the archeological relics, especially on the Ngoc Lu bronze drum,
    there were also records of ancient activities and variations of stilt houses.

    II, Vietnam architecture throughout the history

    It is a long development of four thousand years. They started with the house on the
    stilts where people could live up high on the second floor and use the ground floor to
    keep their farmed animals. The roof is designed as simple as the cell of turtle or
    upside-down of a sampan.

    1000 yrs of being colonized


    The architectural relics on the ground from the 10th century and earlier are no longer
    present; There are only a few vestiges left under the ground. Those are the Han
    Dynasty tombs, these archeological relics show the traditional Han-Viet construction
    techniques on Vietnamese soil, which are reflected in the patterned fired bricks built
    in the ancient tombs, as well as the tomb construction techniques (which were based
    on feng sui).

    Urban: a number of ancient cities have been formed. In the old town, there is an
    ancient citadel (where mandarins and soldiers, dwellers lived), urban areas, markets,
    a system of religious works and structures. The city is formed according to feng shui;
    specifically based on natural topography and the relationship between sky (heaven) -
    earth - human(originating very early in ancient Chinese thought.).
