From December 8th to 10th, the 2020 National Architecture Student Festival took place at Duy Tan University, attended by 70 lecturers and 400 students from 21 universities and colleges nationwide.
The event was hosted by the Vietnam Association of Architects (VAA) in collaboration with local universities, with the objective of bringing lecturers and students together to discuss architecture, construction and strategic planning topics.
The theme of this year’s festival was “Architecture in the Digital Age.”, focusing on Parametric, themed Waves; Quick Design A, themed “A friendly space along the river”; Quick Design B, themed “Cities for everyone”; Art drawing, themed “The city along the river”; Photography, themed “Danang, the city and people” and Sand Sculpture Contest, themed: “City of mountains, river and sea.”
During eight hours of the “Parametric Shaping” contest on the topic of “Waves”, students used cardboard or formex to create, assemble and exhibit models in their respective booths, demonstrating their dedication, unique design ideas, high levels of esthetics and a richness in functionality.
Some pictures of the festival:
DTU students create an attractive "Waves" model, based on Visual Arts algorithms and skills
Inspired by the force and movement of waves at sea, the well-designed Binh Duong University model
was created with shielding bars linked to slits, with an embedded esthetic play of light
The “Sóng ngàn” model, by the University of Civil Engineering, was formed with interlocking pieces,
symbolizing the waves of passion, enthusiasm and ebullient youth of the future architects.

The University of Architecture in HCMC used parametric language to simulate refraction of waves on the sea.
For the best results, students concentrated their efforts, discussed their designs in detail, then assembled and finished them in teams
After Parametric Shaping, students competed in the Quick Design A, Quick Design B, Art Drawing and Photography contests.
