Updated on: September 27, 2023 10:11:04 AM

We always want to create a sustainable space for the community with full quality and amenities, connecting people with the world around them, contributing to solving social problems such as: increasing physical activity, enjoying art, and conveying messages to help society become better and better.

Therefore, to have those spaces, it is necessary to create them by the people here. Today's architects and planners have a keen approach to science and technology, know how to creatively apply traditional materials with new technology, as well as exploit the quintessence of other countries so that each project is the offspring of the land where it belongs. An architectural story that meets those standards has never been easy, if not challenging in every "stroke".

Astar and the philosophy of happy architecture.

Winston Churchill once said: “We shape our buildings, and then our buildings shape us.” The danger of modern architecture is to create “machines for living” instead of understanding and applying green, indigenous, sustainable architectural trends… to make living spaces more friendly.

With three philosophical pillars: happy architects, happy buildings and happy users, which can only be achieved through experience and practice, from the process of not only simply creating comfortable and useful buildings and spaces, but more importantly, having a vision towards the future of culture and people.

Feeling and understanding that philosophy and not emotionally following the trend of heavy materials, abusing techniques and materials that are repetitive, monotonous, and emotionless… Astar people have been ahead for many years in the philosophy of “happy architecture” that is shaped in each drawing and design project. They have known how to transform themselves into “happy architects” in their thinking and practice.

Reviewing the architectural works and design drawings that Astar has done for Sao Mai Group and for tourism companies in An Giang, Dong Thap, Vung Tau and Thanh Hoa, An Hao Solar Power Plant, Europlast Long An, we can have a serious assessment of the effectiveness and criteria of "happy architecture". Because all of them meet the needs of safe, healthy, comfortable and economically efficient spaces, effective for the benefit of society. Those architectural works have become an organic entity, interacting and symbiotic with users, symbiotic with the surrounding environment.

Furthermore, architectural works express their own life: they have a past (tradition, history), a sustainable future, the ability to renovate and develop according to the user's purpose and new achievements of science and technology, including architectural science. In addition, the works have created and contributed to rediscovering local cultural and historical values, enhancing pride in tradition and raising people's knowledge.

Each project is a whole that has the ability to inspire and spread, contributing to shaping aesthetics and aesthetic education for the community. The project itself has a self-sustainable internal force: both connected to the surrounding world and self-reliant, not "dissolved" , it contains the ability to protect itself, has its own nuances in the context of the information society in the globalized "flat world" .

Tra Su's heart makes visitors' hearts flutter

A peaceful green space of Tra Su, an extremely beautiful and majestic An Hao Solar Farm tourist area, an endlessly sparkling Lam Kinh Resort and Spa, a miniature Al Po amusement park at the foot of the majestic Cam Mountain or a peaceful but extremely dynamic Sao Mai Resort Vung Tau or a heroic, indomitable and steadfast Tuc Dup... all have the mark of Astar creating the appearance so that the architecture is a "sustainable surprise" and a new attraction.

After the impression of modernity, grandeur, eye-catching, strangeness over time it still does not get lost. The simple and interesting beauty of the architectural works, planning that Astar undertakes is increasingly known to users and the community.

Therefore, it is not only a good project, it is a sustainable happy project, with the potential to make people living in those spaces become happy users. Grasping the steps of modern society, new needs appear, Astar has been and is striving to continue to have new and interesting "sustainable surprises" for life.
