The Final Judge Board of the National Architecture Awards commented that all participating papers this year display improvements in both quality and quantity to reflect the current level of Vietnamese architecture. Many designs have smartly exploited the theme of sustainable architecture or environmentally friendly architecture to adapt to climate change and answer the demands for socio-economic growth.
