2021.09.24 Takashi Niwa as speaker in seminar of "Challenge for locality"
Challenge for Locality - Japan Vietnam Architecture Colloquium
As part of the <Wooden Forum> that connects Japan and Southeast Asian countries, the Vietnamese architects are invited to discuss the rapid progress of the Vietnamese architectural world.
Vietnam has different climatic conditions from Japan because it is a subtropical region. However, in recent years, the sincere efforts of architects for today's issues such as utilization of natural materials such as wood and soil, participation of local residents, forest protection and focus on communities, will be good examples for us.
A cross-talk between Vietnamese and Japanese architects on design, technology, and social services, taking into consideration the industrial background of this country, where timber exports to Japan have become the largest in Asia, will be organized in this Colloquium with the following agenda. This seminar will be held by Japanese - Vietnamese bilinguals.
