It was very exciting that when I had a look at the old materials to put into this portfolio,
I found a lot of Venice’s images that I unintentionally copied from someone several
years ago. Perhaps when I took those images, I had never known that I might be there
someday. Life is a journey where you will never know what is at the end of the rainbow.

Spending most of my childhood with a bunch
of colour pencils, I grew up to be a student of
Urban Planning major at the most prestigious
university teaching Architecture and related-
courses in my hometown city. Since then, instead
of drawing magnificent but purely imaginative
childish images, I started to draw plans that can
affect lives of a large amount of people, or even
strategies to develop the whole nation’s economy
and society.
At the beginning of the most beautiful years of a
man’s life, ‘student life’, I devoted my young mind
and whole-hearted head to make splendid urban
planning projects. I led a team and overcame all
first challenges of leadership: working in a small
group of people with different points of view,
needs and interests, and directing them to one
final united goal.
Later on, I joined the workforce as a government
employee and participated in realistic projects.
I found myself more and more fascinated in this
meaningful career. I enjoyed every single work
from as simple as designing a green place for the
Hi-tech Park of Ho Chi Minh City, to as important
as detailed plans of new towns, residential areas
and industrial parks in the West and East of Ho
Chi Minh City and Mekong River Delta regions.
More and more deeply I realized that the core of
my job is to draw practical and humane solutions
for the development.
Most recently, I took part in a major project
called New Countryside Development Program
conducted by the Government. My duty was
working in a team of government officers,
architects and urban planners to make master
Urban
Design is
the career
that I’m
keen on
pursuing
7. 7
and detailed plans for the ‘New Rural Areas’ in
the buffer zone connecting Mekong River Delta
region to Ho Chi Minh City. The target of the
Program was to reform a whole rural area while
retaining the original cultural characteristic of the
local inhabitants. The Program was an economic-
social process in order to create new values of
economy, society, culture and environment in
the era of industrialization and modernization of
Vietnam. Although there were some difficulties in
the way that the program should be operated, I
believed that it would make a huge contribution in
creating a new face for the countryside of Vietnam
in the future.
On performing my duties in this major project, I
found that there was still a huge distance from
methodology which very much depends on
papers and drawings to the reality, even if they are
proposed by foreign experts. Those experts have
advanced skills and knowledges, but they lack of
the sense of being a local with a full package of
history and life style and culture… attached. In the
other hand, I’m a local but found myself fumbling
for the way to connect everything, which are
urban design with the broader social, economic
and environmental urban processes, in an
achievable project that is going to work in a long-
term prospect. In order to bridge that distance, I
need to earn more professional knowledges and
experiences by undertaking further studies in
graduate level.
Among the list of fields of knowledge that
are useful for my future career such as urban
management, ecological planning, economic
and social issues of urban life, urban heritage
conservation…, I’ve identified two most important
things. Firstly, it is how to approach the issue of
urban design and development in the aspect of
urban economy and social elements in order to
create a living community activities and public
spaces. Secondly, it is how to achieve the
solutions to make an urban development project
achievable - be successfully implemented in the
reality, not only a “hanging (pending) project” as
we usually sneer at.
The Master of Urban Development & Design
program in UNSW is very well-structured and
meets all my needs: intensive yet practical with a
strong focus on studio studies and Asia-Pacific
region. More especially, it also offers students
field projects based in world’s major cities such as
Barcelona, Venice, Hamburg, Singapore… These
features will help correct my misconception, build
up my international experience as well as open
my vision.
The products of urban design, similar to planting
a seed in the soil, cannot be seen in a near future.
If a good seed is planted in a good environment
by an expertise farmer, it will become a giant
useful tree. In this new era, an expertise farmer is
required not only to know which is a good seed
should be planted in which kind of environment,
but also to see in a very far future in advance
in order to choose the seed and change the
environment so that they can make a perfect
match. My career goal is to become that type of
expertise urban designer, and the program is the
first step to achieve that goal. The courses offered
in the program answer directly to my questions.
I believe it will equip me new tools to better face
the challenges in urban design, the career I have
just begun.

This academic projects remarked my final
achievement after fives year studying at the
HCMUARCH which changed the way who I am
forever. The aims of this project is to regenerate
the ‘September 23th Park’ and the urban precinct
surround it in the District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
Known as the ‘Western District’, this place is
famous of hotels and other tourism services.
The linear park play an important role in creating
activities and view corridor between Ben Thank
Marketplace (the symbol of Ho Chi Minh City) in
the east and the Thai Binh Market Circuit, which is
an important traffic node connecting the historic
Saigon city centre and Chinatown in the west.
The designed project is highly integrated with
underground railway line, parking and retails.
There are also numbers of small restoration inside
residential along the park help improving the living
environment and bringing the activities in the park
into the new ‘Western District’. Besides that, the
‘fashion street’ Nguyen Trai is an important factor
that contribute to creating a vibrant and vivid urban
precinct inside the old centre of Ho Chi Minh City.

The Southern Sub Institute for Spatial Planning is
a unit of the Ministry of Construction which carries
out the scientific research activities, technology
transfer, construction investment and architectural
– urban and rural planning consultation in the south
areas of Vietnam. With the role as a government
institute, the organization demand a large number
of experts who have knowledge and experiences
in duelling with the urban and rural development
issues to conduct the numerous planning projects.
On the other hand, in the context of the national
development, a new approach in urban and rural
planning methodology is needed to be considered.
By which I mean, the term of “planning architect” is
rather popular in Vietnam, although in the majority
of universities in the world, planning is emphasized
as a field of multidisciplinary and usually taught
in the postgraduate level. In the term of urban
planning, urban design is seem to be more familiar
with architects. However, urban design is not
simply an architectural activities but a chain of
designing based on the multidisciplinary analyses
that is the connection of urban problems, help
creating the tools for negotiation between several
groups of subjects or participants in the society
and leading all of them to the vision of common
wealth. Urban (and rural also) planning is essential
to be understood as a process but not an inflexible
destination in the predictive future which is often
imprecise. This opinion is completely different
from the current method of general urban and rural
planning that is a Soviet’s era legacy in Vietnam.
If the failure of general planning method in the
real development context of Vietnam today is not
realized and changed by another suitable solution
which is more practical with the social demands,
the improvement of urban and rural planning
educational quality cannot be solved.

Griffin’s functional concept for Russell (Canberra,
Australia) has only been partly implemented -
with a lack of connections between surrounding
suburbs and the lakefront and an abundance of
surface car parking prevailing, something of an
‘urban desert’.
A first order objective of the project is to reinterpret
Griffin’s vision for Russell by connecting Russell
to the significant surrounding public open spaces,
and introducing vibrant urban spaces and uses by
civilising the current ‘through-traffic’ conditions.
Key strategies of the plan include:
1. The introduction of light rail through the centre
of the precinct in a wide main street.
2. The establishment of a boardwalk system
exploring the Jerrabomberra wetlands and
interpreting the alignment of The Causeway.
3. The reworking of Parkes Way as a suppressed
through-route, reclaiming urban land at the
surface.
4. A series of open spaces along this new
frontage connecting local streets to the park
and lake beyond.

The scheme, as the part of the Venice International
Studio between the UNSW and IUAV Venice, is
based on five precincts or ‘micro-Citta’ (Micro
City in Italian) and believed to tranform Porto
Marghera, Venice, Italy from and old industrial
zone into a vibrant district. Each micro-city is its
own neighbourhood. A civic building acts as the
catalyst for the development of each micro-city.
This concept, ‘the city within the city’ is inspired
by the process of Venice’s formation. Professor
Mancuso describes this process whereby
individual insula or islands were progressively
urbanised and connected by bridges to form the
urban complex of Venice as we know it today. The
proposed strategy of progressive polycentric urban
growth acknowledges the reality of contemporary
development in the Venice metropolitan region.
In the proposed scheme each micro city develops
from a catalyst building with a different spirit and
function. These buildings are connected to each
other by various means of transport. Each small
city has a distinctive economic function which
kick-starts a diverse economy. It is not precisely
known what economies will be successful so
diversity is beneficial. The micro-cities form an
archipelago of functions and forms. The project
demonstrates a dynamic approach to the
renewal of the abandoned industrial area of Porto
Marghera, one of the biggest industrial areas in
Europe. This project seeks a sustainable approach
to urbanism by basing new developments upon
the deep urban culture of Venice and a design
approach focused on change and flexibility.
Porto Marghera, once an industrial giant is now
largely obsolete and open to new uses. This
scheme is based on the demands of the large
number of tourist visiting the historic site of Venice
and provides hotels, support services, temporary
accommodation and most importantly a new
cruise ship terminal situated away from the fragile
urban heritage of historic Venice.

This project develops part of the Micro Citta
master plan in a more detailed approach. Two
micro-cities from the master plan have been
developed as a bold mix of modernist forms and
perimeter block housing. One precinct is based
around a transport interchange incorporating light-
rail, trains, water public transport and buses. The
hub supports a vibrant and liveable commercial
and residential neighbourhood with good access
to the waterfront. The area provides new types of
green spaces which are not common in Venice.
The chosen site is located in a key position with
potential for development and strong transport
connections to Venice, direct access to the current
light rail route, access to two residential areas
(Marghera and Mestre), access to open space (San
Giuliano Park) and a historic fort (Forte Marghera).
In this scheme old factories and other industrial
facilities are transformed through adaptive reuse
and incorporate vibrant activities.
The project integrates various means of transport,
providing a wide range of mobility options such
as vaporetto (water bus), light rail and buses.
The design of the neighbourhood encourages
sustainable mobility options such as walking and
cycling, civilizing the new residential area with
social, open spaces. The historic image of an
industrial Marghera will be transformed into one
promoting a modern Venetian urban form.

Penang, an island located in the west of Malaysia,
is place to celebrate a multiple Chinese, Indian
and Malay culture together in a vibrant community.
Its economy has enormous potential based on
education, medicine tourism as well as proximity
to fast growing Indonesia, Southern Asia as well
as traditional links with India and China. Penang
needs to plan a future based on access to trade
centres, access to good housing and access to
high quality public transport. The island has a
potential to be a major trade centre in western
Malaysia which will compete with Singapore,
Jakarta or KL.
The studio’s objectives is to establish mix-used
urban centres outside of George Town which cater
for trade, commerce and retail, to form a backbone
modern public transport system such as a high
speed MTR to serve the new urban centres of
Penang, to expense the tourism opportunity in
Penang by providing other waterfront areas, quality
hotels, food experiences, better shopping centres
and finally, to provide more houses for dealing with
housing crisis in Penang.
Those objectives would be achieved by dividing
the large scale masterplan into three self-funded
specific development projects: the heritage George
Town, the Creek area and the Airport City Bayan
Baru.
The plan was believed to, firstly, set up new
independent urban development authorities or
expensing the right of the Think City or Penang
Development Corporation to response for a
proposal of a masterplan and major infrastructure
development of the new boulevard and new metro
line funded by selling the land along the transport
corridor and, secondly, to be a legal base to invite
private sector to invest into potential projects
based on the masterplan as it stated within the
plan strategies.

Practising Kendo and Iaido (Japanese fencing) is not only improve my
physical strength but mental determination. My life had been changed
forever since I started to practise these two martial arts. They have
become a way of life in which I found so many thing that could be
applied into my daily life.
