This year festival, with its topic “Dalat - The Architecture, Forests and Flowers”, attracted 600 students and 100 lecturers of Architecture from 22 universities nationwide. DTU students entered all nine sections of the contest, coming up with creative and novel ideas to express meaningful messages. DTU won the most awards ever in the festival. 

The Architectural Idea 1 and 2 sections highlighted the talents of the DTU students, who aroused viewers’ thoughts with their work “A Plan for Dalat Flower Village”.
