2024 - HEPIUS Campus| Winning competition Winning Competition lequang-architects (LAB) won a competition to design a Medical University campus of 110.000 sqm in Vietnam. The campus will hold 2500 students and contain a general Hospital with 200 patient rooms. Our proposal focuses on creating a ‘third platform’ that links all programming into a backbone where students, doctors, and patients can communicate within several Rain gardens. It accelerates the performing abilities of the whole complex and becomes a sustainable solution for a hi-density building model. |

2023 - Quang Ninh General Hospital 3rd Prize - competition We won 3rd prize in the Quang Ninh general hospital design competition (There was no 1st Prize). With this design, we accelerate the programming science innovation of general hospitals in Vietnam, driving them towards a sustainable built environment that reduces energy use and maximizes landscape, creating the micro-climate for all diagnostic, therapy & patient rooms. This hospital would be one of the largest hospitals in Vietnam with 1500 patient beds. |

2023 - Architecture Masterprize Awards 2023! A House in Quang Nam| Award winning project Mr. Nhan's land is an inherited piece of land belonging to three households, instead of cutting it into 3 linear tube houses, we propose a spiral structure so that the space blocks roll together, and revolve around a central garden conceived as a microclimate solution. In that mix, there exists space for four families to live together. In the end, it's more than a house, it's a space for people to live together, wake up and cook together, talk and care for children together. Besides, it still thoroughly solves the land ownership mentality and internal conflicts of a multi-generation family. |

Masterplan Competition - 2nd round Stuttgart | Germany 𝗹𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗴-𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 and 𝗟𝗝-𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮 did 2nd round competition in Backnang West near Stuttgart. The project focused on new development in the post-industrial zone with programming study and mobility system. In the end of the day, we tried to have diverse building typologies in one area. The new development creates a new sense of land ownership. It links all landowners into one scenario where they can share profit based on a different program that relates to themselves. The master plan developed a series of building scales in order to keep the historical value of the site as an industrial heritage of IBA27. The project is exhibited in Backnang till the end of May 2021. |

2020 - POOL/ passive design in tropical climate area
Look at some current housing projects of lequang-architect in Hanoi & HCMC Vietnam We have different approaches for the pool in housing project in Hanoi and HCMC because the building always lacks the site area and building density regulation. So it could be a pool-deck or an elevated pool? sky pool or ground pool? Most of the time, we use the pool as a buffer zone. It works as a passive design to adapt to the tropical climate and to be an internal visual focus area. |

2020 - SAN
Built Project in HanoI Vietnam San is a project in the countryside of Hanoi. In this project, we tried to use the passive design method by 3 main walls on the free - groundfloor plan. The movement of the walls creates a rhythm between indoor space and outdoor space. On another hand, it plays the role of guiding axis for programming distribution. |

2019 - SILENT IMMIGRANT(S)
Competition_Shortlisted Proposal Paris, France We hypothesized the random selection of a volume of 8x8x8m from the sea (number “888” in many Cultures, represents for the term of “Infinity”). This volume is called “Anonymous Ocean” The appearance of this imaginary volume creates metaphors for viewers about a seemingly impossible reality. Even so, this installation allows people to go deep into its heart and discover what really can happen within an arbitrary mass of the sea (in this case, we show how people poisoned the ocean with our plastic products which are represented by plastic bottles collected on site) The instantaneous movement of a strange ocean to a familiar human’s urban context is a method that we have tried to create a representation feature of the installation artwork. The project will be published in architecture magazine, exhibition by YAC. |

2019 - LANDSCAPE IN THE MIST(*)
Competition_3rd Prize Kemeri, Latvia The Project works on the boundary line between "Landscape and the Mist" as linking space where the scaffolding structure is conceived as space of community become a social space. It is not just an Observation Tower for looking to the Park, on the other hand, it sends a message to people and the landscape about a free world, not divided by human knowledge and their curiosity. With the understanding about the site plan and its humidity, the beauty of the architecture structure could be integrated into the mist here in the morning and it emphasizes the poetic image of Kemeri park in different senses.

2018 - Kriens_Post Industrial Development
Lequang-architect Competition_ Kriens, Switzerland Today, Kriens faces three core challenges to overcome: the demolition of plants from the industrial period. So the main challenge that the city is confronted with today when dealing with the renewal of central area of Kriens (Andrizt Area), how to create an attractive local center whereby the physical buildings themselves form the catalyst for the social integration. Whereby bottom-up initiatives from every individual dweller are encouraged.Whereby the masterplan of this old factory become self-reliant and self-organising and whereby buildings creates the connection between them and between people in the city. In the end of the day, we recognized that the most important feature to make this public area is belong to the density of population & density of construction and its openable feature to public space. In term of revedelopment process, the density and the flow of people will be two main factors for breaking this “massive block” in Andrizt Area. |

2018 - LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF THE WALL
Typology Study in Berlin Published in Spain Berlin, Germany The Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the physical Wall is no longer present but an invisible Wall exists between East Berlin and West Berlin. Today, from East to West, people can still recognize the implicit changes around the Wall. These are differences in typology, in urban density and in the habits of residents. The Wall is still there, it is not present in the political power corridors; instead, it is present in every street corner, it visible in every small kitchen in the new housing on the West as well as the old apartment in the East. |

2017 - MOSUL SCAFFOLDING CITY(*)
Winning competition - 2nd Prize Mosul, Iraq Post-War City A Post-war Camp becomes distinct from all the usual forms of human housing. It is not a completely disturbed society as it is in refugee camps because people in post-war camps have known the city where they born. However, it is not the same as any social housing system because its social foundations and urban infrastructure may have been ruined. Therefore Mosul Post-war Camp needs to have flexibility, easy-to-change elements that are (in)permanent in shape but permanent in their ability to change. For the case of Mosul, this system should be able to infect, spread and expand. In the process, the camp itself would undertake the task of cleaning and rearranging the ruined parts of the city during the war. Thanks to this idea, we proposed a flexible model, which is not only a residence of the people but also helps them to reform and repair their city systematically because the peoples here are the ones who understand their city better than anyone.

2017 - 21 TTF - The SANCTUARY in Collaboration with COMMA studio
Affaire Project Hanoi, Vietnam Going in a series of 05 projects in the heritage area of Hanoi 36 Streets Old Quarter, the 21TTF project was a study of the spatial characteristics of the Tube Houses which were built during the Indochina Architecture period. The building is located on Trang Tien street, belong to the main axis from Grand Theater. The changes of history in the twentieth century have given the building a unique life and value. Along with the new generation of life after the Vietnamese War, the buildings here have been affected until this day. The design team has researched and proposed linking three houses horizontally to create a new space that preserves all inherent structures of the heritage. The new space was designed to cater to contemporary art exhibitions and performances combined with a high-end fashion store. The Tube Houses in Hanoi Old Quarter, like the elderly, reflect a part of the city's history and bring in personal flair. The approach to the project has created a new life within these structures, contributing to the strengthening of the good values that time and events of history have brought to them. The design team hoped that the project would be a "small corner" of cultural exchanges for people in Hanoi. readmore |

2017 - SERRA DA ESTRELA(*)
Winning competition - 3rd Prize Portugal Inspiration Hotel Dramatic landscape has created from the sudden change of the natural elements. It could be a sudden change in length, depth or a sudden change of materials such as water, rock, negative and positive... People from time to time immemorial fascinated inherently by these factors, in the most beautiful dreams, people have dreamed of dramatic changes and utopia illusion. We approached this projects based on the concerns about water, stone, and humans on the land. The granite cliffs sliding down to the calm water's edge has aroused the first imagination about a secret valley which is surrounded by water and stone - the existing natural elements.
