(CLO) Within the framework of the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024, on November 13 in Hanoi, the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports , Architecture Magazine - Vietnam Association of Architects jointly organized the discussion "Architectural Heritage in Creative City".

Creative industry is a factor helping to develop the capital's economy .

The event is an opportunity for experts in the field of architecture, urban and heritage managers to discuss designs, pavilion installations, art space installations; practical lessons on bringing cultural heritage directly into creative activities in the city and traditional values ​​of the Vietnamese people.

Sharing at the discussion, Professor, Dr. Architect Hoang Dao Kinh said: "Perhaps living in Hanoi for too long, we will become "numb" with what Hanoi has, but it must be said that Hanoi is a city that "inflates" its uniqueness. I really appreciate the courage of architects and artists with works that apply modern science and technology to revive heritages."

Professor, Dr. Architect Hoang Dao Kinh shared at the seminar.

Besides assessing the role of architectural heritage in creative cities, experts also raised troubling questions about the sustainability of the creations being created within architectural heritage.

Also at the discussion, Architect Hoang Thuc Hao, Vice President of the Vietnam Association of Architects, said that creative industries are becoming the driving force and key factor in the socio-economic development of the capital. After 4 festivals, we have seen that cultural heritage is always of interest. However, the question is: How can we promote heritage strategically? How can we avoid having to "pack up" our works after a week of festivals and not know where to put them? How can we have a synchronous scenario that can connect the years, this year inheriting from the next year?

"Learning from the experience of previous Festivals, this year the Organizing Committee has spent a long time researching how to create works that are sustainable. This year's pavilions are more restrained, placed in stable spaces that can reach viewers for longer, such as in the yard of the National History Museum..." - Architect Hoang Thuc Hao added.

Cultural experts and architects attended the discussion "Architectural heritage in Creative City".

It should be said that the seminar "Architectural Heritage in Creative City" is an event for experts in the field of architecture, urban and heritage managers to discuss the designs, installations of pavilions, and art space installations; practical lessons on bringing cultural heritage directly into creative activities in the city, and the traditional Vietnamese values ​​of cultural heritage participating in urban creativity.

Over the past time, the city has organized commemorative activities to review the heroic historical tradition of the Vietnamese people and the army and people of Hanoi, raising the will and determination to promote all resources to build a "Cultured - Civilized - Modern" Capital; a globally connected city.
