Frontages: 2-4m; Depths: 50-60m. One or two storey in height  Its extraordinary narrow typology can be traced to the traditional rural house Urbanization: intensification of the house fronts as market stalls, taking advantage of the street.  ,[object Object],Its development (RIA 1998)  Colonial period: the French introduced two storey buildings. The ponds were quickly filled in, while the kitchens and toilets were pushed further and deeper into the site, producing the characteristic narrow “tube-like” effect, label “tube-houses” Ta Hien Street (HAQMD 2005) introduction History of tube-house and typology Architectural space features Schema – “Inside to Outside” Partners Conclusion
Shop    Living room    Courtyard    Room for rent    Bedroom    Room for eldest son or  a teacher    Courtyard    Kitchen    Toilet. ,[object Object],Variations of vernacular architecture; one family- the owner of the shop-front  State-owned tube-houses, the living spaces are shared by several families  Privately-owned tube-houses, the living quarters are occupied by extended families  ,[object Object],Ground floor of tube-house, Hang Can street   Section, Hang Can Street (Rose 2003)     Courtyard    Altar    Living room    Courtyard    Kitchen    Toilet Shop introduction History of tube-house and typology Architectural space features Schema – “Inside to Outside” Partners Conclusion

Consultants (layer 3) Tube-house, social lives restoration Design and international cooperation Third PARTY Family role, responsibility:  a “wish- list” of buildings areas. Layer 1: Tube-house conservation by Families’ nuclei HH type and size:  establishing a balance. Participation in the Conservation and Re-building Processes:  Family involvement, equity, labor and financial capacity. Maintenance process and business management:  by HHs under an agreed upon set of guidelines. introduction History of tube-house and typology Architectural space features Schema – “Inside to Outside” Partners Conclusion
[object Object],Layer 2: Local Authority Complexities of top-down” process of decision-making  The Authority: a mediator of policies and actions after due consultations with the communities to serve as arbitrator of contesting interests; to document conservation procedures; to support families’ basic requirements.  Layer 3: Technical Consultants  Their roles:  to assist the various communities in articulating the broad strategies of the conservation undertaking, to make a working list of tube-houses to be conserved (based on urgency and significance), to design the supporting physical infrastructure; and to manage the human resources and the construction stages  introduction History of tube-house and typology Architectural space features Schema – “Inside to Outside” Partners Conclusion
Thank you ! This proposed schema for a layered approach to conservation of the tube-houses  is premised upon the value of retaining  as much of the extant population in it – and by extension, their respective traditional trades.  This layered “ inside-to-outside ” approach is intended  to enhance community participation  while stabilizing the tube-house typology.  Conclusion Market pressures , real estate speculations, the  demographic pattern  of new migrations into the urban areas and the economic  opportunities have threatened to erase the uniqueness and features of the Quarter .  New business investments connected to traditional activities:  should be encouraged (long, short-term) in the front shops.  Local authority and the community:  develop policies that give preferences to socially responsible investments. Layer 4: Businessmen & Developers Re-design and re-tooling of old trades would play a pivotal role  introduction History of tube-house and typology Architectural space features Schema – “Inside to Outside” Partners Conclusion
