Description
Vietnam is a tropical country that always deals with erratic climate change causing many environmental effects such as storms, floods, high temperatures... With the resonance of this and the high rate of urbanization, the city gradually becomes a great “concrete prison”. Understanding this issue, while in the design process, MIA prioritizes the quality of life and created the space having a "give and take" interaction with nature through the empty gaps. We called that is "Inside out - Outside in" principle. We believe that those minor impacts while applying this principle would create positive mindsets to help climate change.
