From Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design:

Designed exclusively for Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2024, the talk “Re-arrangement” introduces an interesting approach to sustainable architectural design. This practice has been applied by Hanoi Ad hoc, a multiannual, interdisciplinary research and architectural and urban design platform initiated by architect Mai Hung Trung, in developing a project named BỜ VỞ – House of Forest.

Bo Vo is a forgotten land situated in the heart of Hanoi. The challenge at hand was how to reclaim and repurpose this natural heritage to benefit both people and wildlife without compromising the integrity of the landscape.

The talk consists of two key topics: (1) Introduction to the philosophical theory of Deleuze and Guattari from the work A Thousand Plateaus in 1980; and (2) Hanoi Ad hoc’s practices based on the “agencement”/”re-arrangement” approach.

Speaker: Architect Mai Hung Trung

Mai Hung Trung is a HMONP architect and urban designer who graduated with honors from ENSA Paris-Malaquais in Paris, France, and Leibniz Universität Hannover in Germany.

After gaining experience in major French offices such as Atelier Jean Nouvel and Dominique Perrault, Trung founded Ad hoc Practice in 2020, in parallel with Hanoi ad hoc, as a research creation platform.

Trung is the first Vietnamese architect to win three times at Europan (in Spain, Italy, and France), the largest European urban biennial competition for young architects under 40, focusing on designing innovative housing and urban planning schemes for sites across Europe. Trung is also the recipient and nominee of numerous international awards and competitions, including IBA’27 – Internationale Bauausstellung 2027 (Germany). Trung is a member of the French chamber of architecture.

His works are exhibited in Architekturmuseum der TU München, and HKW Berlin (Haus der kulturen der welt). Trung has been a guest lecturer at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and Ecole Spécial d’Architecture, ENSA Paris Belleville.
