Hanoi Ad Hoc, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) and the Goethe-Institut would like to invite you to participate in the Workshop "Repurposing the Architectural language of the Cold War" from September 5th to September 9th, 2023 in Hanoi.
Hanoi’s development has experienced a turbulent history with more than a thousand years of foreign influence from China, French colonization (1873-1954), and socialism following the model of the USSR (1945-1986). Since 1986, Vietnam’s Đổi Mới economic reforms brought rapid urbanization and growth as well as greater connection to the global capitalist market. All these economic and political transitions had a significant impact on the development of housing in the city.
